3 Country's People TRY Thali For the First Time With Their Hand!! (USA, Korea, China, India) 

Hats off to Yuki to make them understand so well to our Indian culture, cause its not easy to make them understand sometimes but she handle it amazingly well, love from India.

Papad is not a starter.. it’s a crunchy accompaniment. That’s why it’s spicy & salty coz it’s not meant to be eaten on its own. It’s usually eaten with rice & Sambar

🥉✋😆 ...Northeast Indian food is ...so so... different as compared to mainland India .....i wish ... foreigners acknowledge them as well. Indian food varies according to it states .... (India is so diverse in people as well as their food)

In my area people usually prefer eating rice during daytime and roti at night It's always hard for single indian to define how and what Indians eat coz there's a lot of diversity so it's kinda impossible but she did her best and I appreciate that

A slight correction - Paprika would be similar to Kashmiri Red Chilli which gives the curries that distict red color but not the spice, and Capsicum is just Bell Peppers. Also, I wouldn't say papad is a starter, more like an accompaniment with creamy / less spicy dishes like khichdi, or even pulao to add spice and crunch to them. I really hope some of the not so popular dishes are shown as well, we always only see naan, tikka masala, butter chicken / paneer, etc.

It's true when mom feeds with hand... always taste better ❤

It is nice to see our culture being shown and appreciated by others😊However, as a South Indian I can say that we do not use palm leaves, we use banana leaves to eat food on special occasions.😄Also, we have few etiquette while eating with hand. We always keep our nails short and clean so that we do not ingest dirt and we wash our hands before eating food. I would also like to say that I may lick my fingers when at home in private but never in public 😄I understand it is the easiest way to clean our fingers but traditionally we use the thumb to remove food from our fingers and use index finger to remove food from the thumb and put it back in our plate and eat it. 😀I now feel old explaining these stuff, I was mostly taught these etiquette in primary school in moral science subject😂 but I say kids these days don't remember their etiquette and probably need a refresher🤭

Even though Papad or Pappadum is served as a started in Indian restaurants in the West, it is actually a palette clenser. So, when you are moving from one flavor to another and dont want to mix & confuse, take some bites of papad & it will neutralize the palette completely, making it ready for the new taste. That is the reason, Pappadums in South India are bit more alkaline & salty.

Honestly She explained it really well [not all of them but most of them] hat's off to her 10:39 also depends state to state , here roti is mostly consumed at morning and night, and day time is rice time

I have read somewhere that ' A person in abroad is an ambassador of his native country. ' Yukta you have proved it and you are fulfilling your responsibility very well. Because foreigners think eating with hands is somewhat dirty but you described very that it related to Chakras and digestion. Very well explained.

People in the south eat on a banana leaf, not palm leaf.

Our Desi (Indian) behen (sister) doing us proud in multiple languages. For a few things she was a little bit off, but got the main point of it all across to people from 3 countries, and did it with style and class. Kya baath.

So, the simple reason Indians 🇮🇳 eat with hands is BECAUSE OF PRACTICALITY. You will never see Italians eating pizza with a knife and fork or Mexicans eating tortilla with a spoon. For north Indians, our STAPLE FOOD is chapati, you have to tear it with hands and then fold things inside it. You smush veggies/meat inside it. Folding action can't be done without using hands. This is one of the most simple reasons. Once you have used your hands for it and there's already food in your hands...might as well eat rice with hands too. That's how we see it. Its kind of the same with South Indian food like dosa.

Thank you for having me as always ❤ The way I sometimes don’t even wanna appear on these shows cause at the end of the day whatever explanation is given is not good for India’s population. The only mistake I acknowledge I’ve made in this video is the confusion with the banana leaf and palm leaf. Other than that the optic nerves 😂😂😂 sorry, i wasnt having it that day. I meant nerve endings. Try being multilingual and then thinking for all you haters out there. Secondly all of you out there saying papad is complementary, does your mom serve you papad at home with lunch or dinner ? Or have we now normalized eating papad as a starter because it’s light on the stomach Next people saying it’s weird to have dal with naan or it’s weird to have this with that clearly do not realize India is diverse and that we all come from different families and different backgrounds meaning our eating practices will be different too. Honestly by the day I am getting sick of y’all in the comments cause please come here and do it instead of me if you think you can mention every state, every culture, every religion better. I could honestly care less. Like genuinely come and do it. I am really emotionally exhausted. This video was shot for around 2 to 2 and a half hours. A lot of what I said didn’t make it to the video. I have mentioned we eat daal with rice, I have mentioned that yogurt can be consumed with chicken at most, I have mentioned so many things for that day that we filmed for 6 hours. I have mentioned how the cheapest thaali is around 30 inr and the price can increase anyhow based on whether it’s a 5 star restaurant or not. no matter what I do, no matter what I film, no matter what I say, it’s never enough. I am sick of Indians being against Indians. There’s no right way of doing things in a culturally diverse country of 1.5 billion people. I genuinely don’t think I will appear for a long time because I am upset, sick and emotionally affected by all of you in the comments. It’s easy to type it out but obviously since none of you know how it is behind the scenes you will keep running your mouths cause that’s what you all know to do. I love how we celebrate diversity but the moment it’s showcased or explained everybody has a problem and want their way to be correct. I’m ashamed of all of youq

Im from Bengal part of india and we eat rice at lunch and roti at dinner lmao so its exactly opposite. Also here fish curries are made more often than meat curries and yes of course daal and vegetable curry is a daily staple. So in every day at lunch / dinner its usually rice/roti with some dish of daal and a vegetable curry and once a week all that with a fish curry. Different variations of curries using different vegetables and spices of course. Most of the families here (in bengal) don't eat non vegetarian food everyone so like 4-5 days a week vegetarian and 2-3 days any fish/meat /eggs. Of course some families eat fish curries every day but most families have more vegetarian based diets.

1. Eating with hand is better way to eat. 2. Sensing the food in 3 ways seeing, smelling, touching. 3 is better than 2. 3. In this show itself I seen many used to smell food before eat to better know the food, same goes for touch with hand.

Yukti didi..as a Bengali from Eastern India, we usually use banana leaves and not palm leaves. I don't think we can eat on palm leaves lol. In Bengal we also add Yoghurt to chicken and mutton. The taste is just exquisite and so much better

Learning about new cultures that’s an awesome mindset . Congrats ladies u rock.🤟🤟

Indian food is so diverse in nature,every state has its uniqueness in food ,taste and culture. I love my India,it's land of diversity.

all of the dishes are from punjabi cuisine but popularly attached to indian cuisine abroad . and every state leave that every city has a different cuisine or flavour palate and dishes . I hope some day they too come to the lime light like this .

This is how you should explain your native dishes..She neither explained a little nor a lot...loved that❤

In North Eastern, Eastern and Southern parts of India, usually we don't eat roti. We eat rice in both lunch and dinner . People who are diabetic, they usually consume roti....And food is way cheaper in the Eastern part of India .

I love how they are all very respectful of the food and the way of eating. After, she showed them, they got straight to business. It’s a lovely video.

In Indian cuisine, it is considered important to never leave food on one's thali. The culture values not wasting food and encourages the consumption of leftovers by modifying them into new dishes.

Excellent job by Yukta to showcase Indian culture as well as the science behind it. 👏🏼

Earlier I thought that eating with my hands was awkward, but then one day I ate with my hands and I liked it.

Her explanation is so good. I am happy that she told them about roti that many don't know in foreign countries!!!! We survive due to rotizzz and die due to Naans( if eaten regularly). Thanks!!!!

I liked the way you explained Indian food customs to these women. 👍

I appreciate how Yuki explanied Indian food and culture SO WELL. Really proud of her.

Two Corrections, as she said usually indians have rice at night it is a wrong statement coz India doesn't mean only North India. North East Indians eat Rice on every single meal it is an only option for north easterns, though we have roti here but its not the first choice. Roti arrived to this part of the country only after independence, and not on palm leaf, it's on banana leaf or banana stem.

The most perfect explanation of Indian food done by her on the internet....lots of love❤❤❤❤

8:07 Another pointer about naan - its difficult compared to roti for making in small batches but becomes much easier and faster to prepare in bigger batches. So you may find some Indian restaurant that have a lot of customers avoid having tava roti in their menu and keep naan. It becomes more economical in time as well as cost. Also the common tandoors used in restaurants (the metal barrel) has a huge startup time and cool down time.

I think she got confused between Palm Leaves and Banana Leaves. We in South India use Banana and Vistaraku leaves (Patravali / Bauhinia varigata) for eating food and Palm Leaves to weave baskets, thatch roofs, inscribe manuscripts etc.. eating on palm leaves, unless woven, might be a little difficult.

Amazing explanation of Indian thali food...I am impressed really....💙💙🇮🇳🇮🇳💙💙

You explain so beautifully Yuki, I know in state wises it's different concept but it's really good explanation. I am from Kolkata, we eat pappad at the end with so many chutney specially plastic chutney made with papaya, date, raisins etc which is translucent , sometimes with tomato chutney. Then we eat sweets or payesh which is made of rice, milk and raisins. And I don't know clearly know of other sates but our food started with at household where started with bitter foods like gourd smash or fried/leafy vegetables /neem with potato fried ... then main course with some light soup types like lentos(with cucumber or papaya ...) or fish curry or prawn curry... then in weekends or end of the week meat (chicken or mutton , I eat only chicken) ; then the foods or deserts which I told first.🥰🥰 You can share with your household foods style . Love you all. ❤❤❤❤

I really loved how educated Yuki is about her roots.. but it is to be noted that India is still a vast country with different mindset.. hence, different preferences about how to eat papad, or when to eat rice, etc. Lastly, curd with chicken is okay, but not with red meat and fish especially (it will cause acidity).

Actually we do not pick up chicken curry with hand and put on rice if it's in a bowl....we use spoon to place it in the plate and then mix it with rice and eat....why did she put her hand in the bowl to pic up the curry 😂😂😂

Makes me wanna go get a roti or naan and eat with chicken. 😋

Lovely guys. Really loved it

Nice food! Yum yum!! My mouth is waterin gnow Yukti you rock everywhere!🎉🎉🎉

How is everyone so beautiful and gorgeous. this is one of my favorite series now. the 6 Asians try each others food thingy

₹500 is very expensive for a thali. Generally the cheapest thalis you will get will around ₹100-200 max with unlimited rice

Yuki's hairstyle,makeup and outfit is on point.Kudos to her stylist and makeup artist.

I like the personality of this Korean and Chinese guests. Pls invite them more often.

Just a correction it’s just a personal preference if people like to break their breads/naans with one hand or two. I think people normally use two hands instead of one especially for thick breads like naan.

Y'all should try the Indian street foods too!!

Yuki is making them understand in well mannered way and details

Fantastic video. Nice description and superb reactions!

So as northeast Indian here. Eating roti is like a once in a month event for us we are mostly three time rice a day person and also those north indian curries are not meant for rice they are way too sweet. Our northeast indian are mostly white rice or sticky rice people and our food culture is similar to Burma or Thailand or Bangladesh. Edit: we also have black, red, brown and many different rice with beautiful aroma.

Yoghurt is very much compatible with every kind of meat. Infact it is used for marination in both chicken and mutton in various Indian dishes. Biryani, curry i guess every or almost every form and raita is a welcome whether it is vegetable raita or boondi raita or mint raita. And even for fish- it is said we can have yoghurt after fish but never milk. I am not sure about sea food though.

This video is so good 😀😀 I really watch many videies like this idk why 😂😂 But this video is perfect Perfectly explanation of culture,😍 eating with hands, food, side dishes 😊

I'm 100% agree.l, eating from my mom hand became a simple meal more tasty 😋

Indian food is not about NAAN and Butter chicken it is mainly on the northern part of India. Don't say all Indians eat rotti and naan. south Indian food is completely different from north also north east food. So pls don't address it like the main food in India

U switch with ur hands because people now a days be fancy n papad is nor a starter,paprika is not capsicum, capsicum is bell peppers n paprika is a spice

Just discovered this channel! Love the diversity so much! Very educational and entertaining!

She explained it so well hats off to yukta❤❤

In Tamil Nadu, rice is a daily afternoon thing. No rice = no lunch feels. + we avoid eating rice at night (idk for what reason, but yeah)

Five fingers represents five elements of nature (air, water, fire etc) n only one hand is used to eat not both. Its an art comes with practice not both its messy.the back of your fingers should be clean not how korean girl is dipping, now that also comes with practice.

My respect increase for yuki she explained about left handed too and said that doesn't mean their left hand isn't clean. I am Indian and it's opposite to me like what you do with right I do with left and vice versa. But some people interrupt me and say don't eat with left hand. How I explain to them it's not dirty!😩

indian girl just look ravishingly beautiful the way she has done her makeup and her skin tone....

How do you guys eat Pizza , burger , french fries and prawns?

We eat with hand to show respect to food godess(anna-purna devi) If you are not touching your food it means you are disrespectful to her.

Glad everyone enjoyed the dishes! I would like to see them try even more indian food, waiting for part 2.😂

amazing video. loved it

I don't think people usually pick curry with hand, it's very inconvenient, we usually eat rice at the end and just empty up the curry bowl in the rice and then just mix it with your finger tips that way your fingers stay clean then just make mini rice mountains according to the size you want to put in your mouth. Also no one stresses so much on eating with hand, it's not mandatory.

what street thali costs 500 bucks!?!? bloody hell..hahahaha there are thalis on the streets in Mumbai that cost 70 bucks! And papad too is usually for texture and digestion...esp in arid areas of the country...weve just taken it on across the country cos its so amazing lol!

I really love seeing Yuki in Indian culture videos. She explains I so well.

She explained it so well

Sorry but the Indian came up with reasoning which are not accurate no body says eat rice at night and you do have yoghurt in meats in some northern dishes. Not everyone eat yoghurt with rice in India it’s not something general people do maybe in the south

They are not able to eat well because the Indian girl here is always so talkative. plus some of the things that you have described here may not match according to south Indian context eg: eating just pappad

seriously as a indian we feel eating with hands is most comfortable way there must be connection between food and us els we will feel empty

The beautiful indian girl !! 😍😍😍 She is the star ! She is beautiful and well dressed! 💫💫 why do others look so dull next to her! We no longer see the 3 white ones which melt because of the color of the wall! 😂 love u from France 💙🤍❤️

The Indian women is over dramatic bruh she's over exaggerating simple stuff she's over exaggerating everything

She explains every part really well❤❤

I love that they eat in a traditional way 🥹😍❤️🙏

Very well Explanation

I am very much satisfied with her explanation...you really did a good job 😀💖😚

She is beautiful in her own way❤

Love this Indian food reaction ❤ try more Indian dishes

Wow.. Yummy food and happy your friends liked the taste❤

In India culture eating time is generally was breakfast at 8 , lunch at 11, snack at 3 , dinner before 7 nomore eating after sunset,if you feel hungry than having a glass of milk before bed at 10 pm , getting up early before sunrise this was a routine for health life, home cook food

In a word, brilliant and well-balanced presentation, and not to worry about us picky people who insist on pointing out every tiny variation that keeps us different from others.

She explained so nicely

That Indian girl is so good in explaining About Indian Food. She is great

Yuki you are doing a good job. Hats off to you 😁

All ladies look cute, the way you learned to eat with your hands ❤

I eat papad with Rice and dal too..adds a nice crunch to it.

Huge respect for Yukta

The reason hands are used is because hands help you understand the temperature of food and you don't end up burning your tongue. The fingers also help you feel the things, food is an experience for different senses so touch also helps you enjoy the food more just like smelling and looking at it. Another scientific benefit of using hands is we've a lotta probiotic bacteria on our hand, good bacteria that is which helps you have a good gut health. Hands also help you to not take huge portions tho nowadays people still find ways to but originally it limited people's portions that they eat in one go so that helped towards a healthy lifestyle. Obviously you wash your hands properly before having food so ain't exactly unbothered as people think it is.

Rice Thali in LUNCH (Day time) is staple From a rice based country we've slowly moved to roti in the NIGHT. NOT vice versa. Labour intensive jobs do eat rice twice. But middle class? No. Very rare. Only if there's biriyani it's possible to feed someone rice at night.

Mission accomplished 😎😂🔥

Yuki presentation + foreign relations = ❤

OMG here Yuki looks so classy ❤❤

This Indian girl is perfect Indian representation

This food is making my mouth water. It looks so good🤤

This food seems healthy love it ❤ I would eat this beautiful and healthy food everywhere in my life, too. Once a person learns the meaning and practice of preparing this type of healthy food, they incorporate it into their daily lives, making it more beautiful and healthy.

Ethiopian food is similar. Most food is served with a sour flatbread called injera which is used to scoop food in place of utensils. The meal is usually a small array of different kinds of food, most with the consistency of thick stew, served on another communal large piece of injera. (It's delicious, by the way, and I highly recommend it. Lots of curry, tomato, and other bold flavors.)

Hats off yuki❤👏👏🙏🇮🇳🔥✌👍😊

she explained it so well....😗😗😗

One of best food reviews i ever seen😅
