@@chefKeithSarasinchef, just like all visitors to India, you were introduced by misguided people to unhealthy oily spicy food which everybody likes as it is very tasty and popular. But do you know nonspicy Indian food tastes even better?? For example, please try ajwain paratha, carrom seed paratha-google with half-fried eggs and it tastes like heaven. With just one spice..carrom seeds-ajwain in Hindi, it tastes divine. You can scoop out/discard the yolk part of eggs for health reasons. Ajwain paratha cooked in any oil withr healthy whole-wheat flour and not the unhealthy all-purpose flour of naans and breads
@@chefKeithSarasinthis ajwain paratha is tastier than any French or German bread and it goes well with anything like butter, sunny side up or scrambled egg whites, curd-yogurt etc. Did anyone tell you that very tasty Indian snacks known as namkeen, available in USA, taste even better and healthier when you add finely diced tomatoes and onions to them? The list is long. I will tell you later.
I have tears, genuinely. I have been following your channel from a very long time. Truly , it feels so good when you rightfully hype our cuisine and get to see the same expression as expected. I have to say, you are just doing a grear job educating fellow west people about our food. Only complain i have or rather a request: please make long videos and want to see detailed review from other chef friends who are experiencing for the first time.
I recently watched your shorts not only did i subscribed but i binge watched all your shorts n kudos to athma.. May you bring your new found knowledge to your frds in US at the same time give our chefs over here your knowledge to create a new line of fusion food which becomes mind blowing for both our respective countries.... 🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Sir i must say that your doing a commendable work of putting out indian crusine out to the world.... people need to learn that indian food is not just chicken tikka masala and naan...... AND VEGETARIAN FOOD OF INDIA IS SO UNDERRATED and thanks for your service man....... Preach that thing man love you man😍😍😍
I would recommend watching a series called Raja, rasoi aur anya kahaniyaan, which means king, his kitchen and other stories. The show has details about Indian cuisine and its history.
Its amazing to see people discovering Indian foods and loving it specially the south indian cuisine. Its great to see your love and admiration to indian cuisine. ❤
I love the way you show our Indian food, like no other! You make anyone crave for it, sir! Thanks for your love. I agree with you, South Indian food is healthier as well as gut & soul satisfying. You should try thatte idli and Davangere benne dosa (Davangere is a city name, benne means butter), paddu and Mulabagilu dosa from Karnataka. Trust me, you'll love them all. Btw, sukka means dry not sticky. I loved how you used the word Athma for soul. You've won our hearts, sir! The only thing I'm not satisfied with this video is that it's too short. I'd love to watch more. Lots of love, regards and blessings from Karnataka, India. 🙂🤍💐
This means so much my friend. I am just a chef who is so passionate about this and reading messages like this make my day and give me hope, so thank you bhai.
OMG!! yay...cant wait to have you back...and I would be so honoured to meet you when you do get to India...i have some incredible foodie friends both academics and chefs that I would love for you to meet!
U r True Gentleman but above all True Desi at Heart just born different....Much love from.one desi to another Bro...Ur new Subscriber..love from Sydney
Hey man. Love to see you guys trying out regional food. I hope more ppl will realise that its not just butter chicken and samosa. Every state has sonething unique to offer. ❤
Visit the state of Karnataka, the cuisines of Bangalore, Mangalore, Coorg, Udupi have their own unique take that intertwines but have their own identity. There a definitely more regions but these regions comes to mind right now. Usually when it comes experiencing food in Karnataka there is limited exposure. There is so much that goes on here and I seeing how you loved Mumbai, i hope you do consider Karnataka and the states I mentioned.
Sukka means dry in many Indian languages. I know this since, I happen to know a few Indian languages since most Indians are multilingual. Sukka means - Not gravy based. There are many dry masala based - sukka dishes especially in non-veg especially down south.
You gotta visit Chennai and madurai keith the former is a Melting pot with different cuisines from shaurashtra,North Indian,Rajasthani,Burmese,South Indian,Nepalese are some of the cuisines you could sample in Chennai. And yeah don't forget the seafood those made fresh along the fishing markets and the areas around it. And madurai for the classic tamil Street food kothu parotta, jigarthanda,paruthi paal,Kari dosai,mutton sukka etc etc. also you should visit some large scale food makers /caterers or something to check out how they do it . Try some of these lesser known dishes like atho, akkara vadisal, adhirasam, molessa, sambal, aviyal, botti aka intestines,nalli dosa, crab omlette etc etc but the must try is a banana leaf meal whichever state you go in south India be it TN (the classic veg meal or the one we serve during festivals or feasta that includes a variety of meat dishes),Kerala (sadhya),classic Andhra meal etc.
I visited Sangam Chettinad cuisine in Austin around May of 2023 and thought the food there was incredible. Way better than the mid-tasting Indian food in the Midwest.
Here's something you've probably never heard of Next you are in India try "Vangyachi Bhaji" or Brinjal Curry with "Bhakar" which is a rustic bread made with jowar (sorghum) or bajra (millet) flour, Very easy to find in Indian grocery stores. Along with "Jhunka" a yellow colour sabji, which is made of gram flour and serve with an onion.
We go to Saffron for their Chicken Lazeez, Sanggam for Dosa, and Biryani Pot for Biryani! Rana’s Indian Cuisine also has very good entrees and tastes very authentic! We have also tried Pav Bhaji Express and they definitely have good pav bhaji! I think the thing with Austin’s Indian food scene is that not everything in the menu is good, but certain dishes really shine. So we get the food that the place is good at making! That said, nothing beats home-cooked Indian food!
chef Gordon Ramsey visited remote village to try some Indian food, i think should try it by visiting a village in south india where the food is prepared on firewood and served on banana leaf
In Ohio, there is a very famous BRIJ MOHAN RESTAURANT, approx 30 mins from Cincinnati. It’s REALLY REALLY popular Among Indians. Try RAJ KACHORI there plus other chat items AND their SWEETS ARE QUITE FAMOUS too.
How about you go to any college or university campus and let them try some Indian foods which you like. See their reaction and if they want to try these again. You then tell them about your restaurant.
keith find out crab curry kerala style or andhra style fish pulusu(tamarind infused) , you wont find in texas unless you find some south indian families trust me seafood lovers just love these
I live in central Ohio and would love to taste REAL Indian food! I’ve been to several restaurants in Columbus, but I don’t think they are authentic. I cook my own versions at least once a week, realizing that I don’t know what I’m doing. Are there any places in or near Ohio? Please? I enjoy your videos so much! Thank you!
Rajasthan, India cuisine is also amazing! Try that in Jaipur.... Or, I suggest go to Delhi; visit restaurants in all state Bhawans located in Delhi. You can get all flavors of India in one city
Your timing is perfect on Indian food! The cuisine of a country may be absolutely fantastic, but as long as the developed world perceives that country as backward - in terms of its economy, GDP, geopolitical clout, etc. - it'll see those exact same great foods in a biased or skeptic light. A perception shift has little to do with the reality of the actual cuisine itself.
a true chef can go beyond any limits to explore the cuisines, check out gordan ramseys 3 videos for his greqt escape to india he went to central india in forest to eat the ant chutney😊 whereas me living near that place for 2 decades dis not know that tribals eat that
Keith it's such a pleasure that you love our food and show super respect for it. I guess you should come stay here in Bharat for longer periods of time. That way you can satisfy your tummy and soul. Anyways you've become one of us and im sure wherever you travel in Bharat, ppl will love you so much. Lots of love. Cheers!❤❤
There are so many myth about indian food in west(like its so spicy, unhealthy) I wish this channel grows so that more people can get to know about indian food by there own chef!
If you want the best Indian food in the entire US, come to Agas Houston. They are awesome in everyway. Food is the best, but no matter how crowded, they are 100% consistent. The way they feed hundreds during the week and thousands during the weekend is beyond belief. The lines would be around the enture block every weekend if they were not so efficient. There is no other restaurant like this in the US.
You should try the Kerala-style Appam and Duck curry. Or appam and coconut milk added mutton curry, it is my favourite. Just a word of advice kerala food like Andra food is a little bit on the spicier side. But you won't get anything like homemade food in any restaurant. You need to go to Kochi for that. But Kozhikode and Thrissur are also very good spots for food in Kerala. If you are into South Indian vegetarian food then you should try the Mysore-style Dahi Vada or just anything from Adiyar Anand Bhavan (A2B) in Bangalore.
Keith it will be really wonderful if you can cook or try out punjabi chole bhature along with carrot radish pickle with your friends. The bhature should not be like puris but slightly thicker, soft spongy inside and just a slight crispiness outside. Also really liked your videos with snackmaster general who is hilarious.
I would like you to have authentic Bengali food from the city of Kolkata or the state of West Bengal. Most of the Bengali restaurants you'll find are run by Bangladeshi Bengali owners or chefs. So if you can find one where the owners or atleast the chef is from West Bengal, India please have and review the food there if you can. We are known for our fish fry, fish finger, anything with fish or prawns or lobsters in it and kosha mangsho which is goat meat. Also there are vegetarian items like Alu posto which is potatoes with poppy seeds, alur dom which is potatoes in a curry, luchi which is a type of bread made with either flour or maida (cake flour), etc. and do try the sweets too especially sandesh, rosogolla, mishti doi and malai chomchom
