James Martin, who hosts James Martin’s Saturday Morning, found himself in trouble during this morning’s episode after his guest told him off.
Dipna Anand appeared on today’s episode (August 3) with her dad to cook their family’s palak chicken. The Punjabi dish had been handed down from her grandfather, who previously served the meal in his Kenyan restaurant in the 1950s.
James Martin Saturday Morning
While cooking Dipna’s legendary family meal, things started to go downhill quite quickly. James got the pronunciation of the dish wrong as he couldn’t say the word “palak.” He was also accused of stirring “too slow.”
Made up of a raw chicken being cut up into 28 pieces, including its ribs and thighs, James then added too much butter to the recipe, which resulted in Dipna snapping at him.
“What have I done?” he asked, to which she muttered: “Nothing.”
Instead of letting it go, James continued, stating, “You look disappointed.”
“You were quite slow,” she said, before telling him off: “Woah that’s a lot of butter, that’s enough now.”
