- Join Sohla El-Waylly in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes red lentil zucchini. These crispy, crackly zucchini fritters take inspiration from the traditional Bengali onion snacks piyaju. Soaked and blended red lentils make up the batter, which is spiked with turmeric and chili powder.

Sohla Makes Red Lentil Zucchini Fritters | From the Test Kitchen | Bon Appétit - Jak na to + styl
This may not be Sohla's first video, but this is the first Sohla video. Welcome (officially) to the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen, Sohla!
Yay Sohla!😃🎊🎉
Bon Appétit welcome!!
A great addition to the line-up, might try this dish on my next meatless Monday meal.
Now that's some serious eats
More sohlaaaa!!
Can we get a series where everyone makes the food that got them a job in the BA test kitchen?
That's an excellent idea!
this should be top comment
Yes, pleaseeeeee!
yesssssss! Bon Appetit, make it happen!
What a great idea....
"I've become a little bit of a parsley agnostic in life."
Is the most Chris thing ever.
So he refuses to make a definite claim that parsley exists or doesn't exist? Or that it should be used or not used? Or just wishes he knew more about it? I'm confused, cause I'm regular agnostic and I know it translates to "without knowledge" aka making the claim something is unknowable.
@@h1r086 I completely get what he means because I feel the exact same. Parsley is such a gentle, almost nonexistent flavor that like... it doesn't hurt to add it or not add it, it really doesn't do anything.
@@h1r086 Context matters. I'm agnostic as well but I also don't think that's exactly what he meant.
It's kind of like how to you God has such a non-role in your life that you can't tell - or care, if he is indeed there.
@@FrancisTha1st that's racist bro
Imagine being this awesome and not actually being paid for being on camera here.
It sucks, no joke :/ And as a fellow South Asian (and Bengali), it's honestly making me sick to my stomach thinking she's been this amazingly fun, talented, and thoroughly entertaining person on camera while not being compensated for it and silently bearing the brunt of bias all this time!
Such a crime
She’s such a gem. My heart broke when I read that she and others weren’t compensated. It’s ridiculous.
Love her enthusiasm. I hate that she wasn't paid 😤
I understand your cause, but think that she signed a contract over certain duration. It's a business and she is just another player at one end of the bargain. Look, I made my PhD studies with a grant of less than 30K per annum. In the Bay Area, which is similarly overpriced. Do you think that a scholar job in the lab is much easier than the chef's in the test kitchen?
"What's it like being in the background of a Sohla video?"
Me: Chris is part of the Sohla System.
That was terrible. Have your like.
@@CantankerousDave r/angryupvote
Should be the name of her series
hhaha laughed at my computer
I laughed way too hard at this lol
Watching Chris interact with Sohla reminds me of the dynamic of the cool high school teacher talking to their favorite senior student
brawr 😂
You know what? I didn't see it until you pointed it out. You're absolutely right.
I thought the same. How great isn't it?
Teacher and Prodigy
THAT is such a good description
this is the first time i've seen anyone at BA measure out their salt. usually they just throw it in as a "Hail Mary!!" lol
*flashbacks to molly throwing salt to a pot of mashed potatoes* “Jesus Mary and Joseph!”
And they say "Put in a pinch of salt" and it seems like 3 tablespoons of salt ahahah
Marcus Gabriel Goguanco salt bae who?? Molly Baz IS the salt BAE.
A pinch of kosher salt is always gonna be more than regular table salt. Kosher isn’t nearly as salty as regular salt
Ha! Hail Mary. That was the name of Sohla's restaurant
SOHLA DESERVES BETTER. FIX THE TOXIC CULTURE.
Sohla is a queen and should be compensated for her time on screen.
Solah: Don’t go rogue... Trust the recipe
Also Solah: I’m going rogue
Sohla*
The master can bend the teaching, the disciple cannot ^^
"I don't think it's golden brown; it's brown."
FINALLY, SOMEONE SAID THIS
But can we get Carla to admit she burned bread?
@shelly is it black? is it green? Is it purple? Nobody knows
@@recoil53 Phooey! Gordon Ramsay burnt his burger buns in his 10 million subscriber special video.
The dish is orange technically
@@SAL-9000 I don't give a rat's @$$ about Gordon, tbh.
Hey Bon Appetit, you should be paying Sohla and other BIPOC editors for creating amazing videos like this
This is the first time Chris doesn’t smell the food first and taking a big bite. He’s a proud dad.
Aged like milk
@@liriodendronlasianthus wdym
I can't stop staring at Chris sitting in the background with his insanely good posture.
The Rocker X I always stare at him lol
he's out here saving thousands of spines every video
litapd311 yes omg he literally encourages me to have better posture!!
The Rocker X I automatically correct my posture when I see his good posture. 😂
Sashayy - 😂👍🏼
Lowkey BA reminding us to always sit properly by simply showing chris’ impeccable posture at the background.
I adjusted myself after I saw him.
He lives in that kitchen and let's other people in
@Brian W woof, someone's saltier than the food Molly makes
This comment made me fix my posture.
@Brian W some of them culinary school or studied cuisine and food. I wouldn't call them clueless food editors.
Sohla is literally the most experienced chef in that kitchen yet she does not get paid for her videos
Claire is more experienced but I agree
@@leahmsanderson check their resumes Claire has way less experience than Sohla
Luật Dương dude you don’t need a job to know that people deserve fair and equal treatment what’s your point exactly?
@Luật Dương take deep breath keep calm. facts are facts and i do not argue over facts so take your anger elsewhere hopefully therapy
@Luật Dương ooza calm down snowflake
Sohla is actually my favorite BA personality, been waiting for her to break out of her solid supporting roles and land her first well deserved feature film
She's objectively the worst.
@@morkusmorkus6040 what?! why do you think so
I'm pretty sure BA is the only channel that delivers what we ask lol
I'll never forget when Chris said you could make a show called "guess that ****ing cheese" and that show happened literally 3-4 videos later
litapd311 so true 😂😂😂
Hannah Terkes yeah! And the comments section on this channel is really civil too.
@@litapd311 I just watched the lobster thermidore, it's "guess that effin alcohol."
Right!
Give her a series where she test food myths
and she always wears a velma dinkley orange sweater
Nathan Langlois u my friend are a genius 👌
Nathan Langlois OH MY GOD YES!!!
omg please!!
It's because she learned with Kenji at Serious Eatd
I hope you back pay her for this episode and give her the raise and title she deserves!
PAY SOHLA. Sohla, you are the best thing to happen to BA in ages. Know that we think you're an incredibly talented, skilled chef who deserves SO MUCH MORE!!
"BA Chefs recreate their 'Interview Dish'" should be the next video!
also this
On behalf of the comment section:
Yes Sohla, that is good.
STFU
Solidarity with BIPOC staffs in BA. She is not just a mere representation of diversity, this video is when the internet fall in love with Sohla, not because she’s a POC.
Pay Sohla! Pay Priya! Pay Christina!
"Hi, I'm Sohla. I'm usually back there, now I'm here!" Hehe You're soo adorable Sohla!!
Chris is like the proud dad. So wholesome. Love this.
right?! that fist bump?! I died
I loved how he was like "the video crew aren't hazing you are they" that was so sweet
CZcams comment section generally: trash
BA comment section: gold 🥺
LOL I just made a similar comment. I only want to watch videos that have such a positive audience.
It's the only CZcams comment section I'd ever read.
Agree! +I sometimes read the comments before watching the vid...LOL, they're like the highlights, so I know what to pay attention to,
Sometimes when I'm cooking I like to put my finger in my belly button and smell it in between tastings to cleanse my palette.
@@marian2525
Agree so much. This community's relationship with both itself and BA are so special.
Sohla is slowly becoming my favourites, and Chris has always been my fav. So knowing he’s responsible for hiring her just warms my heart hahaha
Sohla is my top favorite. She is like my personality 100% I identify with her so much
love her giggle
I love her so much too! She’s so down to earth and I feel like you could tell her anything and she’s not judge you
Sohla: I can scrape a bowl forever
that is me exactly! glad to have found at least one other person who obsesses about getting EVERYTHING out of a bowl.
Sean Miller honestly my favourite part of the video
I think it's part of our culture, we don't like to waste food
I came in the comment section for this comment exactly :D
Same!!!
Same, it actually bugs me in videos when people don't get everything out of the bowl or container.
great choice to hire this lovely professional, funny, imaginative, woman with a great camera presence and great foodie wizdom. Thanks Chris for choosing a winning addition to the B.A kitchen !!!!!!!
And her tats are awesome
Too bad they don’t pay her to be in videos
Give Sohla and all other BIPOC part of BA the compensation they deserve!!
PAY SOHLA FOR THIS VIDEO
This is my first time seeing Chris take a BIG bite. He's so proud of Sohla
Holy crap, you're right!
I love the way BA introduced her, first in the background, then interacting with all the others and finally with her own video, it's like she was always there, great addition to the cast, especially if the man Morocco himself judged her skills
Well said. The process of introducing her is great. We aren't left wondering who is this but are already familiar with the face when they get their own shining light.
PAY HER WHAT SHE DESERVES
She's a delight and the food looks great. Why would they keep her in the background?
Because she's not white, sadly.
She's so professional and articulated, while also being natural and cutesy at the same time! Love her!
Omg watching Chris constantly checking over his shoulder how she's doing is life 😍
Such a good dad!
I loved it when he asked her if they were "giving you any bullsh*t like that".... lol He was full dad mode there.
STFU!!!
OMG RIGHTT?! It's so wholesome and heart warming!!!!
Well he is responsible for hiring her. There is his name on it so I am not surprised 😉
Ahh I love seeing a fellow Bengali on a platform I admire so much! Listen to that perfect pronunciation of "ghee", I feel so represented 😭 Also piyaju are my favorite, best part of iftaar during Ramadan.
interesting. with that name and that nose, i thought she was egyptian
Lou Schwick she took after her husband’s surname
She’s Bengali and her husband is Egyptian
Yeah, she's a Bangladeshi Bengali.
@ i follow her on IG
Sohla is absolutely the best. The details she includes, like making a flat surface on the zucchini before cutting, makes this so accessible for me. I always want to try her recipes because she makes me believe I can, and it looks so yummy! PAY SOHLA (and everyone else who isn't being fairly compensated).
I really liked how technical and process-focused Sohla's delivery was. The details about why she was taking certain steps (food processor > blender for example) really helped me understand how her process created the final result. I think it makes a really good addition to the perspectives on food the test kitchen has.
Even something as simple as dipping your spoon in the oil really blew my mind. And I fry things all the time!
Totally agree!
I think It's actually Sohla's attention to detail in teaching things that helped Claire overcome her chocolate-tempering fears. 😄
Yes, another one added to the recurring characters cast. Now we only need Rhoda.
YES rhoda!!
Rhoda is the Agent Coulson of the BAE universe
Yes, Rhoda is always so supportive. Itd be cool to have her front and center.
@@yardship Does that make Adam Rapoport Nick Fury?
@@yardship That comparison makes me wonder which Avenger each member of the BA Testkitchen would be. All I can say is that I cracked up at the thought of Brad as Thor. Imagine him, with a glas of freshly fermented kombucha, drinking it and throwing it to the floor calling for "ANOTHER!"
She’s the best i love her put her in more things
she has been vibe checked and passed
When Chris said "alright, well done" I felt so proud of Sohla lol
She had me at the "compost bowl", more videos of her Bon Appetit.
We need more environmental friendly chefs.
If you watch other videos and try to sneak a peek, more chefs use the compost bowl but dont mention it... its always that huge silver bowl, I believe Gaby started it!!! I know Carla uses it ALL the time and so does Brad (0bv) and I thiiiiiiink Rick.
Gaby started it there :-)
I was about to comment the same thing!!
I always assumed they did before, so the first time I heard it mentioned in a recent video (not this one) that they just started composting, I was lowkey horrified. I'm fairly certain NYC restaurants of a certain size are technically supposed to compost by law. But the test kitchen would be in a different category, so I don't think there's any composting legislation that would apply to them. Regardless, it's awesome that they finally started.
@@mariachristina97 I'm pretty sure Molly said in one video that Gaby had convinced the building to finally let them compost (or something along that line)
Also: Sola dosn't even flich at the splater of oil when frying
Rodrygo Tanaka shes a kitchen gangster
i was flinching in front of the screen while she was unfazed
Like a welder too, you get use to it 😂
... She had to cook for her interview? I NEED EVERYONE'S INTERVIEW STORY AND HOW THEY GOT HIRED PLSSSS
Well, not a weird thing considering the job
You can tell Chris likes it because his first bite isn't a teeny tiny bite.
The highlight of today was chris describing himself as a parsley agnostic 😂
Omayra Cen just as he said it I read your comment 😂
QUALITY PAY FOR THIS QUALITY CONTENT
Yes, more Sohla because she clearly has talent and she is personable and that laugh is perfect and I can’t wait to make that dish!
I honestly kinda love Chris' protectiveness of Sohla. XD He looked ready to square up if they were hazing her.
"I'm usually back there but now I am here." And we have Chirs to thank for that.
Now class say thaaaank you chris
Thank you Chris
QUEEN she deserves so much more
I've made this two times already, it's one of those things where you don't need any crazy ingredients and you can make it any time with anything you have on hand. First time I've followed the recipe and the second time I used just onions and cilantro instead of parsley. It's really about the lentils.
I keep coming back to this video. I like the energy, the calmness, the professionalism. Same reason I keep rewatching Chris's videos. And this one has both of my favourites!
@ Teodora Thank you, I haven't made it yet but I'll remember I don't need the parsley if I don't have it.
How do you do it without a food processor
BA has such a culturally diverse team. Would love to see more meals that they grew up eating. Or cooking with a family member.
I'd like to see more guest cooks, like they had recently (the one where runners kept handing her things she mentioned not having) - Caribbean, African, South American cooking.
i like this idea!!!!!!!
I am totally making this for my cousin when she comes to visit! She's recently gone vegetarian and I was looking for something nice and crispy we can make for movie night that isn't just fries or popcorn. This will be perfect! Thanks for sharing the recipe :D
You're a great cousin, I'm sure she will love it
If fried is her thing then there's are lot of Indian foods that might interest you. As for example the thing she mentioned in the beginning called Piyaju is known as piyaji here and is a snack.
This is so sweet
you could look into so many indian recipes tbh lots of veg and fried options!! and delicious ofc
Yum! She'll love it!
Crispy seasoned kale in the oven is also surprisingly munch-able
If you've never had a Sohla tested recipe, you're seriously missing out. Either at BA or when she was with Serious Eats, it's all amazing
if i had to describe this video in one word it would be "ravenclaw"
fourscoreandsevenyears she’s a hufflepuff
omg yes! I kew it the moment she explained claire the magical details of tempering chocolate
Oh man.... BA test kitchen sorting!!!! And I agree... Chris and Sohla could totally belong to Ravenclaw, Gaby would be the ultimate Hufflepuff, and Delany and Andy are clearly in Slytherin.
@@vlhefner YES!
and honestly, I'm not sure what house Claire would be in, but she'd definitely be a prefect
@@hunnitbaehunnitbae8804 claire gives gryffindor vibes with her competitiveness
My heart flutters everytime she adjusts her glasses
"Uploaded 45 seconds ago"
CLICKS AGGRESSIVELY
Me too 🤭🤣
Honestly
Compensate Sohla and all BA BIPOC talent fairly !!!
More Sohla!! Give her a show and pay her for it!!
I always thought she had a lot of charisma and "warmth" to her, so I'm glad to see Sohla added to the "main cast" of sort.
can't believe im able to be there when sohla debuted!! everyones gonna love her im sure of it
@bonappetit Pay her. You can't just sit in your offices claiming to make a change and send out some emails and think that's enough.
Now that your posh walls are all crumbling down you're gonna cry for forgiveness and hope it works.
Equality for all.
PAY SOHLA!!!!!!! GIVE HER HER OWN SHOW AND PAY HER FAIRLY!
So if i interview here i have to go through chris... Feel like the whole time I'll be internally screaming
I think she interviewed with Chris because he's the deputy food editor (under Carla) and she's an assistant food editor. (but i'm not 100% sure that's why)
Pin a slice of Red Leicester to your shirt, that will ward him off.
Chris doesn't actually interview you, he just smells you for two minutes and then he knows
I thought Carla was the Food Director.
Louis Delorme that was hilarious
I'm glad BA is showing off more of their staff :D
Andy has been in less videos lately tho :(
It's how you guard against turnover, which is inevitable in NYC and YT.
She may have been hired with the video side in mind, since Sohla did the same for Serious Eats.
@orangebelle really? I didn't know that, but makes a lot of sense now that you point it out.
we love sohla!! give her her monies!!
Chris is giving off major dad vibes the whole video and I love so much. You can tell he’s extremely proud of her.
"Is it good?"
Oh Sohla... If you could only see me chewing my phone trying to taste this.
Oh, you mean the saliva puddle under my office chair?
Yeah, I'm absolutely certain it has nothing do with delicious food being cooked.
Me chanting in unison with myself: Sohla. Sohla. Sohla
can't believe im not alone 😩👌 sohla! sohla! sohla!
I love this recipe so much and have cooked it many times. How crushing to learn that Sohla hasn't been compensated for this video.
@ Teresa THANK YOU for telling us this is a good recipe I'll try it.
Sohla, you are so appreciated and loved by your fans! BA, give this amazing, talented woman her own show and omg pay her!!!
She gives off strong Velma vibes and I’m here for it.
TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH
♡♡♡
YES❤️❤️
The pizza speed challenge confirms this lol
It's gotta be the hair
Oh... Now i can't unsee it
I've seen my mom make this exact thing here in India all of my life and it's so amazing to see that in the BA test kitchen. Also, Solah's spot on pronounciation of ghee is giving me a new life.
Snigdha Bharadwaj i knew as soon as she said it that i've been saying it wrong my whole life - never again!
Snigdha Bharadwaj Hi, can you help me out? The speaker on my phone is busted. Is she pronouncing it like ‘key’? Thanks, my friend!
also lovely to hear the perfectly authentic sounding "piyaju"...ahhh love bangladeshi cuisine so much!
@@kamalpreetsinghania7938 This side of the border, it's piyaji.
@@nicholashilton2514 Its kinda like the pronunciation of KEY but instead of K, say it with a G (like the G you say for GO)
Yes! Keep going with the veggie content! Love the recipes that can easily be veganised like this and Chris's lentil burgers.
Pay Sohla for her appearances in videos
Chris being so supportive of Sohla like she's a baby chick he helped raise is the wholesome content I needed today
We NEED more Sohla and Priya content 👏 👏
More Sohla for sure. Priya not so much. I'm afraid she's going to chop off her finger in every video.
@@camtron gosh I'm with you. I loved this video with sohla but just cannot make it past 5 minutes with priya. Shes sweet but it just doesn't flow
@@kathleenbolanos Yup, she's definitely sweet, but she definitely doesn't seem like a professional. It's like they needed an Indian chef and they settled with her.
To find out that something you love is a farce is one of the most soul crushing things in the world. And yet Sohla has it 100,000,000,000 times worse
Go Sohla! 6/9/2020 just read about your labor organizing, good for you! BA has been a wonderful during the pandemic for lots of people. Pats to your beautiful doggies!
I remember watching a video on serious eats back when Sola was working there, and I swear to god she had such a goofy personality in some parts that immediately reminded me of Brad, PLEASE BA, we need a video of them together 🙏🏻
I love Sohla’s energy, not frantic or or hectic, just chill. And I love that I can learn a little while enjoying a video that is about the food. All the videos BA puts are great, loving the change of pace that Sohla brings! 💕
Pay Sohla and all BIPOC at BA immediately for all video appearances!
Thank you, Sohla. You are such a great presence. You are a treasure.
Sohla is like a ray of sunshine, she feels like a friend you've known for a while even though you just met
They finally gave us more Sohla! It’s so refreshing to see someone actually scrape the bowl on camera I love it
make Sohla the Editor in Chief
Maybe you should pay Sohla for making this video?????? how is she only getting $50k a year? She should be getting Seinfeld money! She is the highlight of all the other videos. Who else can actually temper chocolate?? BA needs to front up about the discrimination your BIPOC employees face. Good start getting rid of Adam but when will there be pay parity and equal opportunities????
she makes $50k!!!! wait, so how much does all the others make?!?!
They pay her what she signed up for.
@@matony19 Shhhhh, this is no place for common sense.
We need Sohla on the channel banner.
YES
please
@Shelly i think they know because they keep changing the banner lol
I love how she precisely measured the salt unlike other BA chefs, but still YOLO'd the parsley.
PAY ALL OF YOUR EDITORS FOR ONLINE CONTENT, NOT JUST THE WHITE ONES.
Sohla needs her own show BA! I love the other shows, but when all the others are always asking Sohla for her expertise, maybe it'd be a good idea to give such an expert her own show too!! Just saying... though I do love gourmet bakes especially with all the guest chef drop-ins to help the project (but CondeNast please pay everyone for their video appearances, even if not their own show, if you're regularly asking them to join in - I understand having your own contract for your series, but for guest appearances fair is fair).
But its a cooking show. Half of it is personality and she just doesnt have it.
"I'm going rogue. It's gonna be okay." I love her omg 😭😂💖
"Sohla makes-..." YES, instant like, I love this, my skin is all cleared up, my soul feels happy and my heart feels hugged by a thousand angels already.
So are you all gonna give her back pay and proper compensation for appearing in all the videos she’s in!??
Sohla is my favorite she doesn't seem to have a mean bone in her body, her vibe is so positive and gentle.
