While I was in India, i understood one thing, South Indians can cook all North Indian dishes perfectly, but north people cannot cook any South recipie. in my knowledge i think South Indian cooking is something which needs skill
*No Matter Where You are on Earth .. The real joy of eating food is with your hands .. not with some spoons and forks n knives* .. ONLY INDIANS CAN UNDERSTAND AND FEEL THIS MAGIC OF EATING WITH HANDS .. 💯 🇮🇳
You spell those Tamil words "pagarkai" and "malli". And that makes you an authentic tamilian. Love to see you enjoying Tamilnadu dishes along with rice, sambar etc.the essential food items in Tamil Nadu. Actually, a meal (lunch) in Tamil Nadu consists the important item, without which a meal is incomplete. That is masal vada. Alongwith appalam, they should have served you with a masal Vada. But anyway, happy to see you enjoy the food. Be seeing you
Usually Tamil "Thali" contains many vegetable stew/fries alongside the obvious items (sambar, rasam, yoghurt, appalam, rice). In some family occausioins, we even have a tradition to cook at least different vegetable stews/fries along side the obvious items in "Tamil Full Meals". FYI Thali is a foreign word to us, we don't use it locally, its only north indian interpretation of our meals. We call what you ate a full meals. It might be in some restaurants they nowadays use the word THALI, But its purely north indian. Its recommended to begin with sweet on the banana leaf, this is because sweet helps to encourage hunger in tropical climate, like in cold, climates, soups warm the stomach and create hunger before the main course.
@@karuonline3294 yes we do have some organic soups before we eat they do offer in few restaurants not everywhere anyways you have rasam that will create good appetite sip but of rasam before you start eating the meals
Geetham is the best and lovely place to try authentic South Indian food. I am so glad that you chose this place. Good to see that you relished the South Indian platter with hand. Eating with hands has lot of significance in South India.
Guilia you should try the following: 1. parotta or bun parotta. 2. Paniyaram - sweet as well as savory 3. Aappam with coconut milk 4. Idiyappam with kurma 5. Mini tiffin 6. Filter coffee 7. Pongal - vadai
@@sarveshsarvesh3380 I have tried it. They are really good. That's the beauty of Indian food that every state has equally good food. But, I still like Dosa more than anything else.😅
@@CutiesHair then you probably didnt try south food in south, only tried dosa and idlies which are really not all south has to offer they are just breakfast tems
Hi, you are excellent in eating food by hand 👌🏻... Rice n rasaam is regular eating combination so you did it perfectly... Recently started following you so don't know about your previous dosa experiences... but try to eat hot dosa as soon as it reaches to your table... you will definitely love it more... Enjoy Indian delicacies... Enjoy life!!
Yeah rasam is the third course of meal in tamilnadu. First course of meals is pulse with ghee into rice, next sambar, next karakulambu (will be hot), next rasam, last with curd. Poriyal ( vegetables ), pickle, papat, sweets, paayasam are just a add on.
Just like every state has different languages every state has their own authentic foods. Glad to see you exploring Chennai 😀 I hope you visit Marina Beach 😀
I am amazed to see the way you had tasted the south Indian vegetarian food, which is really delicious and mouthwatering dishes for most of the Indians. Hope you could not take the food completely as you might have felt uneasy to have the full meal. Any way I am happy to see that you have taken food in a right way.
Rasam you can mix with rice or you can have it in glass separately. It's used for digestion. And pagarkaai is bitter gourd it's a veggie not leaf as told in video. Try non veg in South India also , it's also flavourful
Hi Julia thanks for these videos. It brings back memories but I’ve never been to some of the restaurants you had taken us through. Will do so when I visit Chennai, till then I have to enjoy the South Indian food down under 🇦🇺 😂
Yes...correct. Bitter melon..or bitter gouard..is a vegetable..not a leaf.. I wonder why it was described as a leaf..which it is not...maybe it's the editing
Hi Giulia welcome to Tamilnadu esp Chennai. It was so exciting to see u eat at south indian restaurant geetham. Every time u had food with ur hands it was so nervous watching what would be ur opinion about each dish as it would taste much better. Glad that u liked all the dishes & loved ur expressions each time u tasted the food. So proud of u to see the way ur eating perfectly & properly with ur hands. Big fan of ur innocent smile & speech. Happy tripping & Happy eating. Btw missed ur hubby shreyz & his excitement for Indian food.
Pahakkai or Pavakkai is AKA bitter gourd/bitter melon. It does take a learning curve to get to appreciate it's bitterness. Super healthy but not very much liked by a chunk of the population. It's a love-it or can't-stand-it types.. Hats off to you Giulia for eating it and not having a "big" reaction... Great video and darn it, I've eaten but still hungry now after seeing this video.
I am south Indian and I feel both South and north have lot of varieties. I think South Indian as many nice Veg Breakfasts,North India offers few good options but they are very tasty too.
Giulia, make 3 portions of rice on ur plate, add some ghee, then some sambar ,rice, and another spicy dark sambar type thing which they served to you , to each portions, one to each, that’s the right way of eating sambar rice ,rasam rice as u don’t get flavours mixed. Each rice u eat with curry of ur choice or papad
Giulia just came to my hometown Kanyakumari dist,Thengapattanam, You'll definitely astonished by it's food and culture and it's beautiful Outlook similar to kerala, but Tamilnadu state is our pride
Arggghhhh now i miss south indian dosa even more. Here in north india we don't usually get the authentic dosa experience. The moment i had a dosa in MTR in Bengaluru, i was shocked. I would visit south india only for dosa alone , no need for any other reason.
Eating order: 1. Soup 2.Dose with all Chutneys 3.chapthi with dry veggies then curry 4.Rice with dry power and ghee 5. Rice with chutny 6.Rice with dry veggies 7.Rice with Sambar and papad 8. Rice with Rasam 9.Curd Rice with choice of pickle 10.Payasam or sweet Please try this order to enjoy authentic taste
The last thing u tried, green one is spinach Kottu, spinach cooked with lentils,coconut. This is used as a gravy vegetable to go with rasam rice or sambar rice
U asked about pagarkai...it's actually bitter guard... Indians can cook it without bitterness and that's magic BTW I love the way u speak!💓 I really wanna try it... And one suggestion It will taste too good if u have south Indian food especially rice and sambar or rasam whatever with poriyal which means like the beet root salad, and the Kichidi u had... I REALLY wanna appreciate u and ur efforts to make amazing videos! Finally, it's great when u had food using hand💓💓💓💓
@@thrilling_gamer_santhosh really?? I'm so sorry 😅 But my mom can cook it without bitterness by adding jaggery in it It gives different taste but I love it... Most of my neighbor aunties used to cook like this only so I misunderstood it for whole India... Tell ur mom to try this💓💓 I'm used to it😌 It will be too good!!
@@harinisri3432 bro actually bitterness varies from soil to soil due to India has different types of soil each have each uniqueness I have eaten it in andhra it is completely bitterless but the place where I live only high bitter bitter gaurd is available so I told 😊😊
bitter gourd or pavakkai or kareela or kakkara kaya like andhra n pujabi cuisine madeup of bitter gourd.really u wil love to eat more of these two state preparation with no bitter yaste
Hi Giulia. There is a procedure to eat South Indian thali. First start with spicy curry( Puli kolambu or kaara kolambu) then sambhar (beetroot salad and other vegetable salad and appalam is for sambhar and rasam), then rasam, then curd rice and finish with payasam (dessert)
1) Remove silver cups from plate put over table 2) spray water on bannana leaf clean with tissues 3) put stir fry plate and taste it 4) put rice on the plate 5) little rice separate for sambar curry and ate 6) taste all curry with little rice 7) End don't forget sweet it must After complete Let get some walk and sleep 💤😴. You will see free mind
Giulia India seems to agree with you as is your experimentation with Indian cuisines and the rich traditions that are in our cooking. In looking at your older videos vs. latest videos, you have shown how addictive Indian food can be and that's also reflected in your appearance nowadays! Your prosperity in terms of your physical appearance is showing.
Are you sure about being Italian, Guilia😁? Your tongue speaks Indian 😂. Glad you are comfortable with spice levels and relishing simple tamilian meal 🙏
Nice, that you are trying south Indian meals. But chapati with karakolambu😵💫.You are right about adding stuff to rice but the liquid and semi liquid ones like in this the sambar, rasam, karakulambu and koottu(the green one) are added to rice and the pavakai(bitter gourd), beetroot or appalam (papad) is taken a little for every bite. U need not get curd rice separately the meals come with unlimited rice (in most places) and a cup of curd.
There is science behind South Thali and order in which you eat them. Sambhar has lot of Lentils which gives Protein and Mixed with rice which gives Carbohydrates. Then next Rasam, the spices in Rasam will help in Smooth Digestion process.. Then next you have Curd rice, which basically helps cool down your body since digestion process heats your body.
I have the worst experience in that very restaurant, that exact location at GN Chetty Road in fact, literally shouted at the quality of the food served and their service. I told their chief manager in his face, I would never ever visit their restaurant ever again. It used to be in the name of SANGEETHA, they have rebranded it to GEETHAM also closed a number of locations in the city of Chennai itself. You are lucky.
Giulia, we don't eat chappathi and dosa with rice usually...Chappathi is a recent addition by restaurants...Chappathi in itself is a food like rice ..so it will be heavy If you don't keep an eye on how many chappathis you have or how much rice you have
You are right we indians love rasam and sambar with rice. almost daily thats the menu. rest one sabji or vegetable curry or dry with some bread that is roti of any kind. Bajra, wheat, Jowar etc. all tastes good.
Not at all the right way... You should make yourself comfortable first... I will first take out all the smaller cups from the plate and place it outside. This way i will have a lot of space left on the plate which will help me feel comfortable while eating... especially when using hands.
Oh hxxl! watching this video before Sunday-lunch is such a torture..😟...and your expressions make me CRY / CRAVE for this thali.....truely 'happy-for-you'...ENJOY! Cheers 👌
M very very huge fan of you n also thanks a lot exploring n showing to world our Indian culture n food. M suggesting you that except sweet dishes with spice gravis you can eat every Indian gravy can easily eat by dipping n mixing anything like rotis, chapatis, bread, idli, dosas, wadas, rices, or even with samosas, potato vadas and pakodas. In short Indian food all bringing together or mixing together n eating and exploring n tasting n enjoying so many flavours in one bite.
We don't eat Dosa together with rice. Also how can you say it is the BEST hotel? You can say one of the good hotels. Also Chapathi we don't usually eat with rice. It is the weird menu only in hotels.
You should visit Sangeetha in Chennai........they too are great when it comes to yummy tasty authentic South Indian and North Indian food at the same time
I have the worst experience in that very restaurant, that exact location at GN Chetty Road in fact, literally shouted at the quality of the food served and their service.

Come and stay in our house,try our home food......its 3x tasty than u tasted in any hotel.....every home food is 3 times tastier........you both r welcome ❤️ Also there is NO comparing south food with any part of India... its moon and earth difference(fact lol 🤭🤭)
Namaste! Welcome to Incredible India! All Indians wash their hands thoroughly prior to dining, then eat with their fingers, with the use of minimal cutlery. This practice is historic and premised on the cultural premise that eating is a sensual activity, and touch is part of the experience along with the taste, aroma of the food, and its presentation such as on a thali, or on a large plate made from washed banana leaf (used in south), or stitched and washed thali (used in the north) leaves. Traditionally, the fingers are also used to feel the temperature of the food to one's taste and to combine flavors. When eating rice, it is mixed with curry, picking up small quantities with the fingers and pushing it into the mouth with the thumb. When eating bread, small portions (roti, naan) are folded into a small pocket to scoop the desired amount of curry. 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
I have following your Volga u are nice couples today u eat thalli rice there is a, ways to eat firstly pour sambar mix well with rice & all the side dish u must pick little by little one at the time & mix with sambar rice & u eat them & follow by the next side dish lastly the rasam & white rice or with sambar rice , rasam is good for digestion I hope u like my humble taught this is our one of the basic way of eating by Tamils, I am Tamil Singaporean Thanks Lot of 💞 from 🇸🇬 👍 Love 🇮🇳 🙏 Bala
dosa is every day morning tiffin in south india and masala dosa is speical in hotel restaurants hope you enjoyed sambar rice and payasam hope your tongue and eyes will ask feed me more the best taste ever you experienced the way you say mmmmmh i noticed you just flying high in the sky
Bengaluru is where you can get the best masala dosai. The TN version is no match. But some TN items are matchless like dosa varieties and vada. The South Indian thali (meals) is well served in TN and not anywhere.
Please order Wada Kolam rice (grown in central India) in Mumbai instead of Basmati rice and net result post steaming will be like this. Surti Kolam is different grain. South Indian rice is not available except the Kerala brown or boiled rice
Hey Giulia, I have the worst experience in that very restaurant, that exact location at GN Chetty Road in fact, literally shouted at the quality of the food served and their service. I told their chief manager in his face, I would never ever visit their restaurant ever again. It used to be in the name of *SANGEETHA,* they have rebranded it to *GEETHAM* also closed a number of locations in the city of Chennai itself. You are lucky.
Hi Giulia, You visiting India/Tamilnadu from abroad and enjoying varieties of Indian food. But, we Indians going out (to abroad) countries and we missing out authentic fresh foods.
Nice to see you enjoying indian food with your hands. Try taking your food with your fingers n then use your thumb to push your food inside your mouth. Enjoy yr food. Greetings fm Malaysia. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💗🙏🏼
I shocked when I see you take South Indian food. Actually I belong to North Indian but I never know how to eat South Indian food. I appreciate you and thanks to interest in food.👍♥️💐
