I ate ONLY INDIAN FOOD for 72 hrs in Korea 

The way she said "My curry tastes better than the restaurant's " is exactly what Indian moms say lol

Never seen a RU-vidr like Zoey who is so willing to explore so many different cultures

Foreigners: oh vegetarian food is so healthy and nutritious Indians: hold my aloo paratha

Aishwarya on the restaurant door has me cackling, it's like having Zayn Malik on men's salon doors here in India😭😂

I am an Indian but never in my 32 years of existence have I ever made my own garam masala lol.

Actually in India we don't eat naan as a daily staple at home.we make whole-wheat tortillas sort of things called Rôtis/ phulke or parathey

She: eats indian food in Korea Me : eats Korean food in india

Zoe: learning about Indian food and learning how to make dishes from scratch Indian Parlour Aunties: is she married? My nephew is single...... 😏

I'm italian and work as a cook for 5 years now. My dream is to learn how to properly use all the Indian's flavors, mix them with Italian's recipes and, in the future, opening my own restaurant. It's a long shot but I'll try.

"I MADE MY OWN GARAM MASALA" is the biggest flex EVER ! Like from finding the ingredients to mixing them in correct proportions, and you nailed it by the looks of things !!

omg the girl made everything from SCRATCH!!!!! Paneer, garam masala, Like tf she is next level!!! You're the QUEEN!!! RESPECT

I'm surprised she made the tandoori chicken like THAT well while I can't even- 🙏😭 She a chef

So this girl made Paneer, Garam masala, Chicken tandoori (still can't believe it)...and she said she was excited about spinach Puree!!

It's really sad that Indian restaurants outside India don't serve a lot of South Indian food. But you need to try some south Indian dishes like - masala dosa - onion rava dosa - tomato rasam and rice - puliogare Lol I basically listed my favourites. If you ever come to India I recommend you these haha!

I can't believe she was trying to fold naan the right way. I never realized that others might not know how to eat with their hands.

Can we just appreciate the fact that she also went to the trouble of learning the eating etiquette in India. I recently discovered this channel and all of your videos are so wholesome, thank you for creating! 💜

Ugh I'm so happy you like our food. Tip: never wear white while eating our food. I've had to learn that the hard way. My fingers always get stained no matter how careful I am😥

12:17 "Who are you, lady? You're beautiful" I cracked up at that. I laughed so hard that my sister woke up 🤣🤣🤣 By the way, She is Aishwarya Ray Bachchan. And she is Miss World 1994.

Oh shiiii she actually MADE the paneer, I commend the dedication

omg I can’t believe you actually made your own paneer

She: *enjoys and cherishes eating aloo gobi* Me who just threw a tantrum over not wanting to eat aloo gobi for dinner: wHaT?

when she was sniffing her fingers on the bus i was like oh here we go she's going to say 'my fingers smell bad' but... "my fingers smell delicious" HAHA yessss

You've outdone yourself Zoey! I know a lot of Indian people in your generation wouldn't go through the trouble to making their own garam masala and cottage cheese as well! We usually find it in our local stores. You worked really hard to create tandoori chicken and palak paneer. (Pro tip: always squeeze a little lemon juice on any spinach preparation. It not only develops a better flavour, the citric acid helps in absorption of iron that's present in the spinach) I also enjoy watching yours and grandma's videos because you're so accepting and appreciate all kinds of food. It's refreshing to find someone genuinely love food without being critical or nasty about the flavour or kind. Keep the positive vibes flowing! I'm looking forward to sending you an indian snack package once logistics kicks start again. ~Love from your sister in India ❤️

She: oOoooOo!~ aloo gobhi seems tasty!! Me: **runs from my mom who is feeding me aloo gobhi**

If Indian Moms will see this video, they will be " ye ladki to meri bahu banegi". You will be a good indian daughter-in-law. 🤣🤣🤣

The amount of research and dedication she has put is really commendable. Her sincerity for learning about a new culture is clearly visible. She's not just doing it for the video. I've hardly seen a RU-vidr do so much.

As a brown girl. I just want to say. U did such a good job on the cooking!

Aloo gobi is a very personal dish in which I mean that every person has their own way of making it. That means the one you're eating is not any less authentic than the pictures. The same can be said for most curries really since practically every family makes them in their own way. This is why Indian cooking is sooo much fun :)

Lol i am sure 99% of Indians have not eaten Instant Curry in their life ever!!!

I am glad to know that koreans are also interested in indian food as we indians are interested in korean food and kpop k drama ...

After this challenge she went from Korean to Curryan.

"i dont care, i dont give no shit. i'm finishing this" HAHAHAHA WHAT A MOOD

Indians be watching like:👁👄👁 (Including me lol)

I seriously commend you making your own garam masala and the effort you put into making that palak paneer.

You see she excited to eat aloo Gobi but reals Indians know how they're bored with it😂 ( sometimes it's really good!!!!)

That part when she says ' my finger smells delicious ' made me laugh so badly.

We Indians love when people make videos about India we love it

She's too cute when she was tryna learn how to eat with hands😭😭😭

POV: you’re an Indian watching this video

as an Indian, i'm so impressed!!! tip for next time: add coriander/cilantro - it makes everything even more flavourful

When I ask people to guess my favourite cuisine, they assume it would be Japanese, Western, Korean or French but I love Indian cuisine. I'm Chinese but I just love the strong smell of spices and herbs 😌✊

Tip to make garam masala more tasty: roast all spices and then grind it

the lady on the wall is Ashwariya Rai. She is a famous Inida Actress

Zoey: at 4:21 *Whispers* ***MY FINGER SMELLS DELICIOUS*** cab driver: ***SHIVERS***

I should salute you, for preparing the indian food from scratch, you are great. Thanks for your interest in and good comments on Indian food

“When nobody pumps you up, pump yourself up” haha great advice, life motto

The lady on the restaurant door is Aishwarya Rai famous Bollywood actress and miss world 1994

She: asking to aishwariya..who are you lady.. Aishwariya: "_"

12:16 This is Aishwarya Rai Bachchan She is an Indian actress and the winner of the Miss World 1994 pageant.

This was so cute to watch! This probably is the best Korean tries Indian food videos out there, you did everything right! Love from India!

Thank you for taking your time and so respectfully making a video with our food in it. Your enthusiasm towards exploring other cultures is so refreshing to watch! Have been a subscriber for a while now and every new upload is very wholesome to watch ♥️ Thank you once again! :)

watching her folding naan is so bizarre because I've been doing that all my life. I think they feel the same when we try to hold chopsticks. These are so expensive, I should open an Indian restaurant in Korea 😆

Y'all indian restaurants out there serve only north indian food while south india has many more varieties, underrated :(

as surprising as it sounds we actually use spoons most of the time. eating rice with hands is very common in the south but in the north india we use normal cutlery mostly. also cheers because you genuinely tried and it seemed like you made pretty decent palak panner ❤️

To get the extreme results Toast those spices in a pan in low heat for 1 min and then let it cool and then grind.

Zoey Eonni, I recommend roasting the spices first next time, because when you grind it, it will have a stronger aroma of the spice mix for the Garam Masala. However, be warned, its STRONG. Just a suggestion though 😁 I love your videos!! ❤❤

I love how you educated yourself and others huge respect for that

"I love butter naan so much" me too girl, me too

I'm high-key impressed with you too! You're such a good cook!!

The fact that she didn’t pronounce any of the hindi words wrong is amazing...🙂🤟🏻 props

I swear with any curry your fingers end up smelling like CURRY

Oh My gosh. When She said to the picture of "Ashwarya Rai" "Who are you lady you are so beautiful"😂😂😂😂😂... Being Indian i was like Noooooooo...😂😂😂😂 BDW She is "Miss World 1994" and she considered as the most beautiful women ever to win Miss World.😊😊😊😊

The fact that she made garam masala and paneer by herself. Lots of respect and appreciation to you girl 👏

Hey Zoe 💙I love how open you are to eating different cuisines, plus you make everything look so good and enjoyable. I also appreciate the research you put into learning about different cuisines and even the eating cultures. It really shows the kind of person you are and makes your content even more wholesome. The only thing I would say is that most of these foods were North Indian cuisines. I’m not too sure if South Indian cuisines are available (or good) in SK because North Indian foods are more well known and served, but if it is you should check it out. My favs that you HAVE to try are Dosa and Idli. Also, I personally prefer Pakistani style Biryani over Indian Biryani, so if you have the chance, I would check that out as well because they taste different.

The Indian food in Korea definitely looks better than the ones here in America

When i turned on the captions(automated), whenever she used to pronounce garam masala, it was spelled goddamn masala. Lol, i feel sorry for it.

I am really impressed at how you took the challenge on!!! A lot of people would not take the chances you did!!! If you ever make it to the US I would love for you to come stay with my husband and I. I would love to cook southern soul food for you!!! I am so proud of you!! Stay safe sweetheart!!

Aloo Gobi comes in two types, one is dry which you saw online and the second one is the gravy type that you ordered. So both are right.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Indian food! With one of the many companies I started my business partner came from Pakistan and was once a cook. During the building of the company, he cooked at least 1 meal for me 5 days a week for several months. Very good cooking and endless chai every day it was amazing.

Can you try nigerian food Im personally Japanese but my uncle's wife is and I've always been interested in trying it but I got no money to try it and she lives far

Making the Paneer was a huge deal! Well done! One of the best "trying Inidan cuisine" videos I've seen!!💜

Most middle class Indians don’t use hands to eat rice, they’ll use a spoon or fork. South Indians may still use hands for rice as it’s deeply embedded in the culture. Roti is the staple bread, and naan for weekends or special occasions, and always eaten with hands.

just a note: a lot of families have their own recipes of garam masala. it might same ingredients different ratios or completely different in general. it differs from families and every family has their own specific taste and spice blend

Considering I'm indian "How much do u know about Indian food?" I'm actually *_ceo_* of the company 😂

Yes, indian food is very flavourful and so yum with the typical indian pickles and other condiments

Aloo gobi is my favorite ❤️ I also enjoy shahi paneer, dal makhani, paneer makhani I also live in Seoul and these are quite hard to find, but there is a cheap but delicious place in jamsil that does a good aloo gobi called kitchen of india, if you want to try it one day

Very respectful. Unlike others you havegone the extra mile to really explore the Indian cuisine and culture. I have been to Seoul while returning from Osaka and have met Japanese and Korean people.. They are some of the worlds most respectable people. You are just another fine example madam.

I absolutely love how you aren't just buying it from restaurants, you are making it so all the food you eat isn't heavily koreanized

The fact that she didn’t pronounce any of the hindi words wrong is amazing...🙂🤟🏻

12:18 her name is Aishvarya rai...She's an indian actress!...Love u unnie glad you liked our food.

Her dedication i need in my exam to study 😂 good work sis

Honestly I love this Chanel so much cause no other channel explores different cultures love ya sis 😘❤️

Whole spices are roasted for few minutes in a dry pan before grinding them to make garam masala (at least my mother does) to extinguish the raw flavour. It's my first seeing a foreigner (since I am an Indian; no intention of being rude or insulting) willing to divulge so much into Indian cuisine and spending so much effort to research and cook the dishes herself. It's really heartwarming. Believe me guys it's really not so easy to make those dishes as it may seem especially if you are making it for the first time. (My first time cooking experience of trying complicated Indian main course was really shameful😖😢) Hats off to your hardwork!! Lots of love from India❤❤❤!

GOD she even made garam masala herself. My mom would never lol- 100 points for dedication

We stan Chef Zoey, period. This made me extremely hungry because i was already going to bed without dinner.

Honestly can’t wait for you to start traveling to enjoy all these different cuisines🔥 that’s my wish for you, to eat all these different cultural foods in their respective countries🔥

Things I liked about this video: 1. She did her research properly 2. She was so invested in it (like I never expected she'll actually take her time to make garam masala and all) 3. She tried learning everything related to what she was eating or making (like yes there are different types of curry and even the preparation of most of them vary from region to region) 4. And I found it cute how she actually tried to learn how to eat with hands

You made the paneer by urself!?! That' s really great! 12:56 Btw, am I the only one who' s wondering what that 'corona beer' actually is?

Get yourself an amazon affiliate link for an air fryer, literally the moment I saw that chicken come out I was like "I NEED TO BUY THAT"

"When nobody pumps you up, pump yourself up!" - Zoe

It’s like 5 am here in India but I’m still watching 🤘😝 it’s lockdown here and I’m craving biriyani lol

"My hands smells delicious" 😂😂😂 i can feel you girl

With ur yellow bg, it seems like ure in a Genius interview 😂

No one: Literally no one: Not even indians: She: Makes her own garam masala

Just as a suggestion you could quickly toast the spices in a dry saucepan before grinding them to make the Garam Masala and it makes it sooooo much better

I really enjoyed that you had no anxiety to be 'authentic' or apologetic or extra-extra-respectful. Nor you tried to to be smart-ass funny. (Those are the two main kinds of RU-vidrs cooking food from a different culture ). You were just so chill and relished your food. That's the whole point of eating. Period. :))

At first I was a bit skeptical about how this would go but I was really impressed when you did so much research and cooked the dishes. Especially paneer!

There is nothing like Indian "curry." Biggest misconception ever. But you chose some interesting dishes!

Just stumbled onto this channel while I should be working on graphic design homework. Your videos are so sweet and genuine. I just lost my apartment bc COVID fucked up my financial situation and I've been feeling really down. Your videos were the first thing in awhile to genuinely make me smile in a few weeks. Hope you're doing well!
