New Ways Of Thinking About Indian Food | Abhijit Iyer Mitra |  

It is great to talk about diverse issues

Thank God someone's talking about it..we still don't cook vegetables with onion or garlic...

Paneer is overrated. There are a lot of other stuff in veg which non-veg people are unaware of.

Abhijit, there are lot of states where groundnut oil is the staple. In Central and South India , millets are a staple. It is more widely eaten than rice. Rice is a staple only since the last 3 decades after the government started giving low cost rice in PDS.

the Ghee and Jesus Christ story was THE blasphemy!! And Im liking it :)

🙋 Being Sindhi Punjabi I hate tomatoes in my vegetables and daals. For that I had been dissed in whole of my family.

In erstwhile east bengal,there is distinct difference between the veg and non veg food.Our windows used to cook thousands of varieties of foods without using onion, garlic even ginger in it .Foods were not only superior in taste but healthy also.My granny used to cook water hyacinth also.

Thanks Abhijit Bhai ...You are one of the most intelligent analyst and extremely brilliant and articulate personality with unbelievable historical knowledge. I loved your take one Paneerarism. Being a foodie myself ...got to learn lot. God bless will definitely try to make that mutton yakhni

Fresh Cow milk, buffalow milk, are good and ghee from these. And curd and butter milk. Now most of the dishes people cook with curd. In olden days very few dish with curd. Curd should be taken raw cooking curd should be avoided aauch as possible

True there was no Garam Masala, onion or garlic in Tamil Brahmin cooking still taste is good. I have used Garam Masala after marriage for making North side of India's cooking.My childhood time my parents used find Garam masala as a spice for Non veg cooking. We used Garam Masala only.for Briyani.

He is very knowledgeable person tu listen for indian youth, very informative about lot of subjects🙏🙏

This brown thing left when ghee is prepared. Is so yummy... Used in Uttarakhand too

16:00 thank for the unique insight.

Potatoes came from Portugal I think. Btw, this video is a nice break from your regular subject s.

Brilliant absolutely

Thank you Abhijeet Iyer Mitra. Awesome work!

Can someone please tell what is the meaning of 'Dalerian' which he has mentioned at 28:58 ?

13:30 homogenisation way of hiding the bad cook 15:20 15:50 preserving food history (oil, carb, region-specific spices, techniques) 16:30 17:00 system of protecting eg. DOCG, Italian - specific (region, way, season) (more egs.?) food eg. gobindo bhog - bengal rice 18:16 (end of talk 19:20) 20:30 unsubstantiated poshness 22:45 yakhni, vetakorma 27:30 aztec spices biryani

Superbly described

Great talk on an super important topic

I eat no onion garlic since my childhood and food is great. I am averted to it if I have it outdoors.. Also I might just start recording my mom cooking

I had anger issue when I saw chees on dosa

27:53 bio diversity = jaiv vividhata

GHEE & JESUS WAS HILARIOUS

Very nice talk.... Really a different view

VERY TRUE....modern ideas are removing improvisations..causing much generalisation to the food.....

I still have no idea what dishes were there in Tamil Nadu 1000 years ago. There is very little record or recipes from that era.

I use to blv that #AbhijeetIyerMitra is only #WarStrategist

My own memorable of great food is at the Langar at Gurudwara Guru Gobind Singh Ji on Manali-Mandi route. It was just rice, dal and rajma. Both dal and rajma seemed to be very lightly spiced, but it was so delicious. Similar experience iRaghavendra Swami math in Mantralaya in Andra Pradesh- just rice and saaru (like rasam). More delicious and satisfying than any restaurant food.

Uniquely I too hate this obsession with PANEER . I used to be ina travelling job and suffered a lot in North india. I was kind of starving for Bhagiis. I belong to Chattisgarh , we still have lot of bhajiis used in our diet. Don't know how long will this exists before we convert yourself to punjabi . Our restaurants have almost forgotten local cusines.

Paneer ha bhai ha absolutely , finally someone spoke , a friend of mine has a handle "anti.paneer"

Not besan in West Bajra and Jowar are the main carbohydrates.

Loved the rant on Paneer, 😂😂

His tonal quality is like sambit patra sometime😂😂😂

What about this carbohydrates vs fat suggestions fitness experts give who ask you to cut one among these two completely?

That Christ & ghee relation was not that convincing.. I googled it as well but got nothing...

This fellow is half baked pretending to be knowledgeable. I wonder if he is even a true Hindu. Check his derogatory comments on odisha konark temple. Any true Hindu would know we were also the land of kamasutra. He just has a big mouth and sometimes correct research on other topics(not food though) and eloquent so people have started listening.
