    Absolutely fascinating! I love all this stuff.

    The Trader Joe’s Lamb Vindaloo and Fiery Chicken Curry are actually quite spicy, which a lot of microwaveable Indian food seems to avoids. That’s why I like them

    For me, Indian cuisine is in the global top 3, along with Mexican and Italian. They all did it RIGHT!

    This was superb. I just know Chef Meherwan’s food is to die for.

    Ooooh I feel sorry for this man’s DMs. You can’t mention India without someone popping out of the woodwork yelling “That never happened in my household so you’re lying!”

    There’s no concept of regional variation. And this man is going to get absolutely eviscerated for bringing up the peacock thing. It’s illegal to eat peacocks in India *now* , therefore it never happened and no one is ever allowed to mention that tons of poultry recipes are based off of when it was a popular food. Oof, good luck!

    Love indian food but I don’t know anybody else who does to go to dinner with me, so I learned to cook it for when I have the house to myself. I usually use cauliflower rice, and it’s actually very similar without the carbs and arsenic that comes with rice.

    Just waiting for a good fast casual indian chain.

  29. salempasanga sp

    June 28, 2023 at 11:06 am

    10:18 some spices that can almost be used in any indian dish are coriander powder, chilli powder, turmeric powder and garam masala. Just use it in this ratio 1 part chilli powder for 2 part coriander powder 1/2 part garam masala and turmeric in a pinch almost any dish will taste nice with this

  30. salempasanga sp

    June 28, 2023 at 11:09 am

    12:18 one perfect example for this is the nalli nihari and paya both made with lamb shanks and legs. The curries are left to cook overnight if u want to make it in the traditional way imparting the flavours unto the bone marrow of the goat leg.

  31. salempasanga sp

    June 28, 2023 at 11:14 am

    14:15 india has more than 200,000 Varieties of rice out of them 11000 are cultivated others are extinct but as of today only about 6000 varieties of rice are majorly used

  32. salempasanga sp

    June 28, 2023 at 11:15 am

    14:32 nah nah disagreeing here Briyani tastes even better with the aromatic short grain seeraga samba rice. Only basmati is used for briyani is a myth. Quite a number of biryani use rices like kollam, seeraga samba, kaima rice etc

    You don’t flip your dosa ? What are you making your dosa on ?Indians started eating food with hands cause they were poor ? Indian food wasn’t spicy until chilli was bought in ! Guess black pepper was sweet back then. He seems like a westernised Indian

    No self respecting South Indian would use butter in their Dosa. It’s Ghee always ghee( Vegans use coconut oil or seasame oil) but never use butter.

    That part about chickens tikka masala reminds me of “Chinese Food” in Massachusetts. Traditionally wok based dishes ended up deep fried and battered to appeal to the tastes of a heavy Irish-American population. Try their chicken fingers sometime.

    This guys doesn’t know what he’s talking about, putting left over chicken on dosa? Biryani is good only if u use basmati has to be the biggest BS. Also , the correct way to eat indian food is with hands. Guys like him are the reason why u don’t find good indian food outside india.

    The difference between indians and other ethnic minorities with an American accent is that the others will tell their foods name as authentic as possible and indians will tell it the way Americans would 😒

    Aaj phir settle hi kar do. Basmati or Sella rice for Biryani ?? I’ve had both … Basmati looks and smells better … Sella tastes better, but not by much. But there is a difference. What do you guys think?

    June 29, 2023 at 4:07 pm

    One comment, you don’t eat with your right hand, you eat with your dominant hand. Eat with your dominant hand and don’t let the food get beyond the 2nd knuckle. (1 knuckle for bread, 2 for rice)

    I’m sorry but this chef doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

    The Persians didn’t bring chicken into the subcontinent, there’s no mention of Indonesia and surrounding countries.

    South Indians don’t ferment as much as this chap thinks they are.

    Dahi (yogurt) isn’t a digestive it’s a probiotic.

    He’s probably palatable by a white audience but he’s propagating some bs. This video needs fact checking.

    I couldn’t bare to watch it all.

  80. Anil Yadav

    June 30, 2023 at 7:41 am

    This is not accurate. If the invaders food was that good than why don’t they have such food in their country. They still eat bland and raw food. A few Ingredients may have a foreign origin but you know how many ingredients it takes to make an Indian dish. Recipe, preperation and the end product was Indian. Invaders were not that good enough to even cook food properly. Indian cuisine and spices existed when there was no Islam and white people used to eat raw food.

    • david szakacs

      June 30, 2023 at 11:40 am

      You do realize people traded and bartered goods they picked up? The invaders didnt necessarily use those spices. He’s not saying invaders brought that food. He’s saying the Indians incorporated spices and certain produce into their cuisine

    8:41 correction here, curry is an anglicized version of the south indian tamil word kari that means gravy .the brits picked it up and during the great wars went along to all parts of south east asia . The western concept of curry may be not be so old but the tamil dish is not very young

    meat existed in india way before any invasion it is literally mentioned in the rigveda, typical k2a trying to make india look like a godless shithole before islam

    June 30, 2023 at 2:57 pm

    As a person who has lived in both Delhi and Mumbai for ten years(among other cities), I have to say Delhi is the pound for pound GOAT when it comes to food and it’s not close.

  91. abhi

    June 30, 2023 at 3:07 pm

    I’m proud of this guy’s offense at chai = spice. Chai means tea. Masala chai means spiced tea.

    Also, the secret to a good curry is – different spices and herbs have different cooking times and they need to be added during different phases of cooking. This is why “curry powder” does not give good curries.

    Naan is it really Indian though? The concept Tandoor & the bread making process is Uzbek/Persian etc.

    • david szakacs

      June 30, 2023 at 8:10 pm

      The baking of flat breads goes back thousands of years. Italy, Greece, Middle East, North africa all the way back to Mesopotamia.

    • Couch Potato Lazy Bones

      June 30, 2023 at 8:18 pm

      @david szakacs Yes, agree. What i meant was the tandoor is not Indian at all, yet it features very prominently in all Indian restaurants.

    • david szakacs

    July 1, 2023 at 12:07 pm

    3:12 What? Does this guy only know about capsaicin and not piperin? The Portugese came to India for black gold- black pepper. Did he think black pepper and long pepper made food sweet?

  107. Poonam Abbi

    July 1, 2023 at 12:31 pm

    you are offensively aodacious… Indians were NOT poor… you think the whites xtians muslims ever go to any place poor? they were created to invade rob & smash the world to a shattered ugly mess

    Actually Pakistani style Curry tend to be have less is more approach compared to Indian Curry and no tangy or sweet accent like Thai style curry

  110. Nabendu Porey

    July 1, 2023 at 1:56 pm

    It was great till 5:39.6 . . . Poor Indians. . .like seriously… The country that held at least one-third of the World’s wealth before foreign invaders looted us were poor… Eating with hands creates a better connection with what you are putting inside your body . . . It has nothing to do with being poor or rich. . . Even kings ate with their hands.

    July 1, 2023 at 4:21 pm

    5:37 Great video! Just a little correction, Indians didn’t start having food with hands because of poverty and couldn’t make utensils, even kings and queens have been eating with their hands, our food is meant to be consumed like that. Just imagine, you take a piece of roti, dip it into the Sabzi (your vegetable curry) and you put it in your mouth. That’s just the way it has been for ages.

    Great overview. One thing I wanted to point out though is that the presenter here states that “Unttl the 15th century, Indian food wasn’t that spicy”! Wrong, this may be true of some parts of western India but not the south as they have enjoyed black pepper for thousands of years and were exporting it to Rome as early as 2400 years ago.

    In Malabar region, they don’t use basmati rice for biriyani, they use a much smaller alternative called jeerakalsala rice or khyma rice. The Kozhikode, thalasseri and Malappuram biriyanis are heaven!!

    Just a note. South Indians always flips their dosas(unless it has some stuffing), and we dont always use a big stick of butter instead we prefer sesame oil which serves the exact same purpose(makes the edges crispy and doesnt let the dosa to sitck to the pan)

    Don’t encourage outsiders to eat Indian food with knife and fork. At the most u can use a spoon to eat gravy or rice.
    And white people , pls research how to eat Indian food the proper way , dont use naan to scoop rice and gravy. And don’t use chopsticks , knife n fork,etc.

    Isn’t curry a Tamil word? According to some old poem’s the meaning to Kari (Curry) was to darken the food. Before the chili was introduced, south Indians used pepper to cook their meat food. It was popularized by british to the whole world.

    Roti: simple with nothing added to it(not even oil)
    Paratha: what he said, but i prefer ghee on it😁😁😁
    Naan: uses a slightly different flour(refined wheat flour or maida than roti)
    Also Roti is a daily basis food, paratha is occasional, Naan is only when you eat in a restaurant/dhaba👀

    Curry is traditionally a South Indian word – kari. Its a term for a type of meat dish in southern India where u make a gravy with onions and a spice blend that includes curry leaves – karivēppila (kari + veppu + ila = curry + neem + leaf) or simply kari ila. The word didn’t inspire the name of the curry leaf haha curries and curry leaves have long been part of southern Indian cuisine. The word, after being adopted into the English language, has now come to mean any spicy gravy with an onion base. Traditionally however it only refers to meat dishes so there is technically no such thing as a vegetarian curry it would simply be called a gravy (kuzhambu in tamil/ kūttān in malayalam)

Buying cheap clothing online can be satisfying, but it comes with not-so-hidden environmental costs. When designer Diarra Bousso was growing up in Senegal, her family bought and created new outfits for longevity rather than on impulse — an intention she carries forth in her fashion tech brand. Outlining three sustainable principles, including crowdsourcing designs and limiting excess inventory, Bousso shows it’s possible to decrease waste while increasing profit — and shares how to apply this wisdom across the fashion industry.
