    This was my first time watching Aarti's show. I am definitely not a cook but it looked relatively easy. Unfortunately, it was a Sunday so no liquor stores were open for me to buy beer (I used root beer and the grocery store I went to didn't have regular brisket (I used corned beef brisket but the recipe was still very tasty and every bit as easy as it looked. I can't wait to try the 'real' recipe next time.

    Can't wait for new shows, hope your new season begins soon. I saved this recipe last year but just got around to making it. Oh! My!, soo good. Not a big fan of cloves, so used 7 only. Everything else was just as presented.
    Your show is a big favorite, you are so natural, easy to listen to & watch.

    My husband and I have been tryen out different brisket recipes for a while. This one here is without a doubt a keeper. Super easy to make and extremely delicious. My experience with brisket is that it's a super salty meat so I left the salt out all together. It was not missed. There was just so much flavor in the meat and that juice your left with (if you do it right & let it thicken is awesome. Thank you Aarti

    The only brisket I've ever made was boiled corned beef and cabbage which is delicious but, I made this recipe last night and it was three words... Dee Li Shush!!!! I read the recipe then the reviews and made few modifications that I think were slight omissions from the recipe. I thought that at 325 and a 3-hour cooking window was low and slow enough. I season everything with salt/pepper quite liberally. I removed the lid during the last hour instead for more sauce reduction. After I evacuated the brisket [so it can rest; then tented the beauty] and, also evacuated any herb/seasoning using a sieve and continued to reduce the decadent sauce via stove-top and added the cider vinegar at this point [paying attention to it just like making gravy]. As I said, the gravy was uber-decadent, silky and glorious with the already delicious brisket. I was horrified that sjhunter1 "just threw it out".
    Both the mac & cheese and the broccoli/dill slaw were perfect accompaniments. Aarti... you rock!

    The brisket was nice & tender, I cooked mine low & slow for 3.5 to 4 hours at 300F. Once it was cooked, it needed a bit more seasoning, so I had to add extra salt at the end for flavor. The brisket didn't really taste like beer, garlic, ginger or any of the other spices though, I thought it would absorb more of the flavors? I didn't use the beer/broth liquid at the end, it was too runny, so I just threw it out.

    Pretty good... Somehow I had too much liquid. I also had too much clove character, and I thought it needed to be sweeter. The meat, however, was delicious. With the gravy I would use less clove, as it got very clovey and too bitter. I would also need more sweetness and thickness to the sauce. But too much clove and too much cinnamon does a bitter gravy make. I'll make sandwiches tomorrow and scrap the gravy.

    Very, very tasty and easy. I had to chase down the cardamom pods, but it was worth it! I think that next time I might use a leaner piece of brisket or maybe even a different cut (rump roast?, though, because my beef was on the fatty side.

    I made this for Passover this year and again a month later. The aroma in the house was magnificent! I used the correct beer both times. The lst time I used ground cardamon and the 2nd I bought the caramon pods. (I now have a lifetime supply of cardamon pods! This brisket got rave comments from all our guests both times. It is beyond yummy. Now I have 2 fabulous brisket recipes and it will be hard to decide which to make. Do make this one. It is well worth it!
