I love Indian food ❤

Makes you get better grades in math too

5:33 Using ones hands ✋🏽is not the INDIAN way but a natural way to consume food , There is some science behind it : You let your hand feel the temperature , texture and density of the food , hence your organs ( thru brain ) understand whats coming in and makes eating a while of a body experience and a comfortable one. 🇮🇳 eating style implements this deliberately by forcing the eater to mix the food him/her self before eating , and get the gastronomical juices flowing. 🙏🏾

These wired series are absolutely excellent. Love this guys passion.

Nooooope. I've lived in Mumbai, Delhi, Chandigarh. Delhi has hands down the best food in India.

Live in Kolkata and reassess 😂

As an Indian, I approve that caramelising Onions to perfection is the most time consuming, exhausting but coolest process in the making of a curry.

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.

Arsenic? What kind of poisonous rice have u been eating mate?! 😲 I am Indian - we cultivate and consume rice in massive quantities and I've never heard of arsenic in rice (or any arsenic-rice-related deaths!)

I've never heard of cauliflower rice either - it is not used in Indian cooking. I'd love to try it out though. If u are planning to make biryani, pulao or jeera rice, use Indian Basmati. For khichdi, use Indian short-grained rice like kolam or parimal. For plain steamed rice, any rice variety works.

This was such an informative video. What a great human. :)

Great video. Thanks!

Glad to see him use the actual Indian map. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

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.

Black Pepper has no capsein, the effect has some similarities but it is not the same thing, it is drastically different to actual spicy food.

@@MarcosPrevitali yes, I agree that "capsaicin" containing plants including chilli peppers were introduced much later and have been adopted into Indian cuisine as well and for the "heat", but one has to remember that the word "spice" refers primarily to black pepper, cardamom, garlic, ginger, turmeric, fenugreek and coriander all of which were used in cooking in India several thousand years ago. There is a big difference between using plants to "heat up" your food versus "spicing" things up! I simply wanted to point that out. Cheers!

Omg he used the word soupçon!! This guy is the best lol. I learned a lot!

I put this right up there with the James Hoffman episode. This was fantastic. This is an instant subscribe, if he had his own channel.

If u want to know the street food capital its either Delhi or Kolkata, not at all Mumbai. Mumbai is all about pao nothing more. As well as Kolkata has been selected among the top 11 cities in the world to eat on the Eater's list of 2023.

Lol! Said like someone who doesn't know about Maharashtrian cuisine.

more of this guy please XD he does a good job at explaining and is pretty chill

Excellent stuff. Well done and very informative

I would love to see more of this guy, and his Indian cooking

Indian here - That was not a traditional roti shown here, a treditional tawa roti is different and it looks and tastes different as well everything else - Good explanation 😊

Yes, what he explained was a chapati as it is only prepared on the tawa. Roti is always put in direct flame after the tawa treatment till it is inflated and then served.

@@jordan22031991 idk why he was invited to speak about Indian culture. Maybe he knows Indian food but they should have invited an actual Indian to speak about the culture. This is such a bad stereotype to propagate. Virtually everyone eats with their hands! Idk the stigma behind it. I hope people understand that every single person washes their hands before eating in India.

Eating with hands actually is the Bharatiya way to eat. Biological reason is that eatign with hands makes your digestive system be prepared for meal, better digestion and makes you feel full after you eat with hands. And no, many Bharatiyas will actually judge you for not eating with hands, like my mother. 😂 Also, one of the rice varities is a rice which is unique to the Bharatiya state of Odisha. It's called 'Usuna Chaula'. It is rice which is boiled before sold. Anothe type of rice is 'Arua Chaula'. It is the common rice that you see being eaten by Bharatiyas in common outside of Odisha. Odias eat it either always, on any holy days like 'Sankranti'. And it's fine if he said otherwise as culture in various regions in Bharat are different in every aspect of life. So, don't take this seriously. I am just writing about my region.

Fantastic host for these questions. Would love to see more.

I was amazed and excited to hear him mention his hometown. Thats where my mother's father was born in the 1870s.

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

North East? You missed North East. What a missed opportunity

Oh man, I’m just sitting here salivating. I love Indian food.

So nice to see someone who's not a snob about regional food

Evertime he says "you can add peacock " I wonder if he's joking or not 😂 because it's India's national bird, you can't kill it or keep it as a pet. It's a very serious crime I think.

This is one of the best X support videos I've seen thus far. I'm so happy to see this representation

There are 90,000 indian restaurants to around 14,000 McDonalds in the USA. Way to redefine popularity.
