i will choose roomali roti over naan any day. It's light, lets you eat more,cleans up the plate (hence the name roomali meaning handkerchief like) and since it's less doughy you get to taste the gravy or sabji better compared to naans.
As a Chinese person, Indo Chinese is frankly the best hybrid cuisine! It brings all the best elements of our cultures WIDE and VARRIED flavor profiles!

If you have a bit of patience and can afford to stock up on spices, it is way cheaper to cook at home especially the vegetarian options. Start with a cumin rice and toor dal (or chana massala) or even aloo matar those are easy and amongst my favourites. You can also cook big batches for cheap.

Trust me I am Indian and I haven't even heard heard about that ocra fry, pav keema(mince meat) thing or chicken pickle before. There are too many. We even make fries with pumpkin flowers. It's amazing.
Rasmalai has been one of my favorite desserts since I was a kid, I'd say it's definitely in my top 5 fav desserts period. I'd love to see a Thai Food episode so we can all stop just ordering Pad Thai lol
Indian cuisines are super tasty and flavorful, even the vegetarian ones 👌 *chefs kiss* And her phrase "deep fry anything and it will taste really really good" 😁 same principles here in Indonesia, we batter and deep fry many things even fruits (jackfruit, banana, breadfruit).
This is such a freaking cool concept!! Since you live in NY, I am sure thee are plenty of different cuisines you can try. I look forward to more videos in the future.
Hah lol you can cook indian dishes your self too its just a matter of time after 2-3 tries you would be making some good meals . They aren't that difficult as they seem to be
Reading all comments are making me proud that I'm Indian. That people liked Indian food so much. Feeling happy to read all lovely comments by lovely people. 🙏🙏
Indian is my favorite comfort food. You showed a few dishes new to me, they sound delicious. I remember the first time I ate Ras Malai. It was the first time I tasted cardamom. I was transported, mesmerized, in love. The look on your face made me laugh, it reminded me of how I must have looked. Pure delight. Great video!
I love how the Milk sauce from the dessert dripped down onto a strand of your hair and you didnt even notice cause you were so preoccupied with the tasty dessert 🤣
Indo Chinese is such an underrated cuisine. Beryl, if you have Chinese friends make a video with them having Indo Chinese food and share their reaction.
@@kaustubhraizada I thought it was the Hakka Chinese that migrated from China during British India times to make a better life for themselves. They migrated to the capital of British India, i.e., Kolkata and that city is known for the birth of Indo-chinese.
I’m kinda happy that this includes food stuff other than naan and butter chicken. But this was still predominantly North Indian cuisine. I wish you would include South Indian as well as North East Indian cuisines. These are so overlooked especially the NE dishes. I know you have featured dosas and idlis many a times on your channel, but please do try the Malabar beef fry and Parotta of Kerala, Thairu Saadham of Tamil Nadu, Korri Roti from Mangalore, Bisi Bele Bath of Karnataka, Andhra lunch meals, Axone (akhuni) or Jadoh from the 7 sisters of NE India. Cheers! :)
@@uthrasriram9386 oh, I'm salivating at the thought of vathakozhambu. Had it a few days ago. @alisha thayir sadam is literally life. I'm a tambrahm and hence, a vegetarian. I had to travel to Iran for work once. It is exactly as you imagine. Difficult to survive if you're a vegetarian. I survived on salads, fruits and tons of thayir sadam 😂😂
@@sriramrajagopalan7234 these days you can carry MTR /Kitchens of India ready to eat packets. Myself & hubby did so for 17 days of lunch & dinner during our European visit... also, dry roast everything & take vathakozhambu mix/ puliodare mix... very handy
Bisibele & Khichdi (or welp as they say in Delhi, Kadhi Chawal) are my favs! They almost taste them same to me except my extended family from karnataka make it more sweet
Beryl, I'm sure you get great Indian food in NYC, but you should consider a day trip to New Jersey, specifically Iselin and Edison, for some great Indian groceries and restaurants.
There is so much variety in Indian food, so I'm glad you were able to showcase some of it here! Indochinese is a favorite of mine, and it's lesser known, so I'm pleased to see it highlighted here. Would be great for you to do a full video on it! Also makes me wonder about other similar fusion cuisines.
I would love to see you try food from Ghana. I have been wanting to try it but I am afraid it might be too spicy for me so I am hoping you can prove that wrong! I know you tried fufu before but I would love to see more Ghanaian variety! It could help me narrow down a menu if I ever get the chance to visit a Ghanaian restaurant :)
Beryl describing Rashomalai "It makes me feel things." It really truly does, man. Rashomalai is one of my favourite too.💜💜💜💜 I'mma big fan of food dishes that incorporate milk product.✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾💜💜💜
That Okra!! I will definitely look for a recipe, as I haven't cooked veggie Indian food for a while! And Keema Pao=Indian Sloppy Joe!! How about doing an episode based from where your husband/husbands family are from? That would be good as there are many unique recipes in the various parts of India!
I love this idea! I'm timid about trying new things in restaurants, this makes it easier. I like going to Indian buffets because I can try a little bit of something new without commiting to a whole dish.
"achaar" means pickle in indonesian too, but we spell it acar. i didn't know the word acar originally came from hindi. even though i know indonesia has tons of loanwords from our diverse history, it's still such a fascinating phenomenon to witness.
it's so fun to see languages having the similar words of origin. I've never had any indonesian friends but I would surely love to have one! They just seem fun to talk to because the culture and the history are too similar with India.
I went to Bali. As you can see my name is Sriram. Whenever I mentioned my name, I got stares of amazement, as if I were Shri Ram himself from the Ramayana. It was a little embarrassing and led to a lot of chuckles. I saw an Indonesian interpretation of the Ramayana too. It's advertised as Fire dance. They call it Kecak. It's like a street play if Ramayana within the temple grounds. It was awesome.
Took me WAY too long to make the connection, but in Filipino our word for pickles is "atsara" !! Specifically it's pickled papaya by default but still pickle nonetheless
I actually had malai kofta for the first time ever yesterday and it’s AMAZING!!! I just search any name on the menu I don’t know and order based on looks (works 9/10 times). And yes, I did take a nap after lol
I actually laughed when you were trying the malai kofta, because I’m literally eating malai kofta for lunch with parathe. Rasmalai is definitely delicious, but I usually prefer eating jalebi, ladoo (besan is where it’s at, but boondi is good too), and gajar halwa (gajrela). Gajar halwa is amazing because you can have it hot or cold! However, the king inn my opinion, is Soan Papdi. This yummy pistachioey sugar floss type of dessert that’s super flaky is just love. 😍 Yum yum yum! I think I’ll have to get some rasmalai when I get home. As a side note, I definitely appreciate the fact that Indian food isn’t the same throughout India. It’s usually regional based. I’ve grown up with Punjabi/Dehli style cooking since my parents are from those states.
When I first saw the Lasuni Gobi, the first thing that popped into my head was “Oh! That looks like the gu louh yuhk popo makes” and when I heard that it was a part of Indo-Chinese cuisine that just made me feel so happy and warm. Gu louh yuhk was a big part of my childhood and we would always order it at restaurants and the bits of canned pineapple would be the highlight for me. The way my popo (grandma) makes it isn’t spicy, but it does have that intense bright red color from the ketchup she uses
and rasamalai shall forever have my heart... its one of my favs. it feels like the king... i remember trying it for the first time on my flight back to india and fell straight for it.
2:11 In bihar we use rice flour instead of chickpea Or mix of rice flour with chickpea flour or other lentils flour as using rice flour is stable in Bihari cuisine especially for savory fritters, veg pancakes, chilka, kachri & such..It's gives lil chewy, way more crunchy texture to it while still being soft from inside.
My husband and I love trying new cuisines. Our favorites are Asian, including Japanese, Korean and Indian. He loves getting lamb curry and we get paneer kulcha. My comfort dish is butter chicken but I love other dishes as well. But lately I'm just on that butter chicken kick. (I know I know...)
Rumali Roti was used as Handkerchief(Rumal in Hindi/Bengali) or tissue paper during Mughal time after having greasy food. Amazing how some food gets it's name!😅❤️
@@beautiful_sky111 only kings and royalties did that, and they gave the rumali to their servants after that they didn't throw it away, its the same like european monarch that only eat the upper crust white bread and give the left over lower brown and hard crust bread to their servants lol
Loved this format. While i will happily go into an unfamiliar cuisine, having a bit of word explanation, seeing the good, hearing spicy vs hot, etc is very helpful. I would love a virtual tasting tour of chinese food, especially different region variations...no matter what format you choose
You should definitely try cuisines from other parts of India as well, like South Indian (every teeny tiny district in South India has it's own cuisine), East Indian (like Bengali, Odia, Bihari cuisine), North eastern cuisine (like Assamese, Naga, Mizo, etc etc), Rajashthani cuisine, Gujrati cuisine and also Kashmiri cuisine... You'll be overwhelmed by how much the flavours and ingredients vary from each of the mentioned cuisines, even though we all belong to the same lovely country, India...
Love this idea! Great video! The only thing that would make it better is if the editor included the name of the item so that the viewer could read it at the same time you or your guests are talking about it. I’m not familiar with these words and it would even less intimidating if I could see the spelling. Thank you for being so entertaining and teaching about culture and food at the same time!!
This was a great idea for a video! I hope you do more different cuisines, especially Vietnamese. Lots of people know about pho and banh mi, but there are so many more dishes that need to be shared with the world! Thanks for always giving us the knowledge along with the entertainment, Beryl!
I've had a plethora of dishes from various regions, but I've yet to explore more African dishes and some traditional Jamaican cuisine. If you did that for the next episode, it'd give some of us a starting point for exploring those cuisines (plus, I don't really know Jamaican dishes other than jerk chicken, so I could use a palette expansion). Also, your channel is the most wholesome channels out there, thank you for everything that you do for and with us fans!
love all the dishes you mentioned... they are amazing but would love to see you try south Indian dishes. i remember you and another youtuber went to saravana bhavan... would love to see you try chettinad chicken dishes, the flavours are wow. the andra dishes are spicy.... kerala's puttu and channa is yumm... there too much more i haven't tried. but would love for you to check it out...
Seconded! Most people who've had South Indian food think of dosas, but I'd love to see you try some of the less common dishes, like upma, oothappam, malabar paratha, and filter coffee!
I loved this! I also wanted to say that you came up with an amazing way to do a sponsored post. It showed the sponsor well but was also interesting and very useful.
Wow what a fun video! I wish I could do this bc I live in a small town and we don’t have a broad choice of restaurants so whenever I have the opportunity to travel to another city I often try as many new kitchen as I can. If someone told me what to order in those moments my life would be amazing 😭
I grew up eating Indian food. I’m so pleased to see so many of my favorites. I hope you do another Indian take out episode that is even more adventurous…In Washington State we have a few places in the Seattle area that are doing Indian food pizzas?! Have you tried these?
rasmali is one of those things i could eat a boatload of :D I'd like to see you try Filipino food- try pancit canton, pancit bihon, and pancit palabok to see the differences i these three noodle dishes. There is also 3 kinds or spring rolls-fresh- lumpiya na sariwa, fried- with meat-lumpia shanghai, and lumpia pritang - fried but served with a vinegar
This is an incredible idea! So creative, so fun, and I super enjoyed watching it. Never seen any content like this and that is exciting! I order Indian food fairly often and definitely get overwhelmed. Thank you for always making such fun, educational, creative things!
I love this! I always want to try new plates when I go to restaurants. And this gives me a little information and encourage enough to do so. Thank you Beryl!
As an indian I have never tasted *kurkuri bhindi* 😂 but what she says is that ( deep fry anything and it's going to taste awesome ) it's actually true 💯 🥰 thank you so much for trying all these Indian dishes 🙏 & your reaction was awesome 😍
I feel indian food is incomplete with biryani .... 1. Ambur biryani 2. hyderabadi 3. Bombay 4. Lucknowi It will be good to see the comparison between them by Beryl
I watched this while browsing the menu of my favorite local Indian place! Turns out they have most of these dishes, and I will definitely be trying some soon (with lamb korma because it's my favorite though!) I loved this episode, please do more and also other cuisines!
Beryl i want clarify that chickpea and bengal grams are different and pakoras are made of 'besan' which is Bengal gram flour not chick pea In hindi chickpea is kabuli 'chana' and bengal gram is only 'chana'. So, i don't understand why foreigners used chickpea instead of gram. Although gram comes under chickpea family but gram flour would be more appropriate.
Thank you for letting your Indian subscribers introduce you to new Indian dishes. Bhindi is one of my favourites but lots of people in the UK don't like it because they have never eaten it Indian style! Love from the UK. 🇬🇧
Yep all the Indian Chaats have pav which is nothing but bread Pao in Portugese...India is a potpourri of cultures and its cuisine reflects its diversity...Every 10 kms in India offers something slightly different in culinary delight...
The soft cheeseball part of rasmalai is called rasgulla or roshogolla, which is a dessert on it's own right. Probably the precursor dessert, bases on which a plethora of cheese or chenna based desserts are made, particularly in eastern india. Very different than your condensed milk or khowa based desserts, popular in North India.
My favourite Indian curry sauce is 'Dansak' which is a kind of sweet and sour dal. i think I prefer lamb Dansak to Chicken Dansak, but tbh the lentils are the star of the dish. I like paratha as a bread, but it is very rich, so if you have a lot of creamy/buttery sauces, a plainer bread can be more appropriate.
We have 6 Seasons in India. Some of the Heaviest Rainfall Destinations on Planet Earth exist in India-Mawsynram and Cherrapunji in Meghalaya State. Western and Eastern Ghats Mountain Ranges has got plenty of Rainy Hill Stations, worth exploring during monsoon seasons.
Please consider other parts of Indian cuisines, like when we say "India" it includes south, east and western parts not only (the northern part) thank you....
This made me miss my favorite Indian restaurant when I traveled to VA for work! They had such a great variety. I really need to work more on finding a good place near me, but most of the places we’ve tried have had very limited menus. And most have recently dropped pakora, gobi, & roti … if they even had them to begin with.
This is such a great idea! We had someone ask if they could buy us lunch earlier in the year, from a place we had never tried before. They chose things we never would have tried, and it was great!
I LOVE THIS IDEA SO MUCH!!! I definitely order the same things at any ethnic restaurant all the time, and I love seeing new things to understand what I’m ordering.
Yes! When I went to mainland China, I realised how underrated and (diverse!) Chinese food really is. Even upon my return to Australia, I learned that I was ordering it all wrong, there is so much more on the menu you know what to look for. Possibly my favourite cuisine when done right!
You should really do more parts of Indian cuisine as well! I feel like this JUST barely scratched the surface of actual Indian cuisine, only the typical North Indian or Mumbai cuisine. There is SO much more you can order and eat which includes street food type dishes, south indian, maharashtrian dishes like puran poli and misal and just so much more! I would really love for you to try these!
Really super!!! Rasmalai is also one of my favourite sweet dish. I am from Mumbai, it's raining in Mumbai, the Vada Pav and Kanda bhaji the perfect snack for the season. Ur Kanda bhajji looked like it had lots of batter, the perfect way to make kanda bhajji is not to add water, u should make the sliced onions sweat, mix in all the required spices and then add the chickpea flour slowly (basically dust over the onion mixture) and combine well and fry to get perfect crispy bhajji. The secret is no water, use the moisture from the onion to make ur batter, this is not ur typical batter.
First off, love the video and the idea of spreading your pallet into the unknown, second off, we have to acknowledge the amazing 'welcome you are' door mat you own! Love it! 😂👏
😋😋😋 Seen several channels recently make Manchurian Gobi and it was already on my list. Your channel has opened up so many new things - love it! I'd love to see videos on Vietnamese and Thai. We always hit the pumpkin curry at our Thai place and should probably be more adventurous. 😊
I feel like malai kofta is a great recommendation for people who want to branch out but are also a little hesitant. It's a dish that hits a lot of the same notes as a tikka masala or saag paneer, since it's creamy and has the warm spices we're familiar with, but is also a new experience of dumplings in gravy. It's one of my favorites! 😋 Oh, and I would love to see a south India version of this! South Indian food is so different and not nearly as familiar to people in the US.
I don't know how you manage to create such incredible content! I think this is going to be my next favorite series. Some recommendations for the next country: Filipino, Vietnamese
Lovely video. These are really popular North Indian dishes. Wish someone had recommended dishes from other parts of India. But then again, India is so vast that you could run your channel on this alone for years and still miss out on stuff :)
Thank You Beryl for giving me an opportunity to order for you! Loved doing this! ❤️

And her phrase "deep fry anything and it will taste really really good" 😁 same principles here in Indonesia, we batter and deep fry many things even fruits (jackfruit, banana, breadfruit).
This is such a freaking cool concept!! Since you live in NY, I am sure thee are plenty of different cuisines you can try. I look forward to more videos in the future.
FUN FACT...
IN INDIA APPETIZERS ARE MOSTLY CALLED AS 'STARTERS '
AND ENTREE OS IS CALLED AS MAIN ' COURSE'😄☺️
I love Indian food so much I think I was Indian in a past life. It honestly makes me so happy when I eat it. ❤️
Hah lol you can cook indian dishes your self too its just a matter of time after 2-3 tries you would be making some good meals . They aren't that difficult as they seem to be
Reading all comments are making me proud that I'm Indian. That people liked Indian food so much. Feeling happy to read all lovely comments by lovely people. 🙏🙏
Indian is my favorite comfort food. You showed a few dishes new to me, they sound delicious. I remember the first time I ate Ras Malai. It was the first time I tasted cardamom. I was transported, mesmerized, in love. The look on your face made me laugh, it reminded me of how I must have looked. Pure delight. Great video!
Wow.. Love to see that people liked Indian food. what do you like in Indian Food? 😊
I love how the Milk sauce from the dessert dripped down onto a strand of your hair and you didnt even notice cause you were so preoccupied with the tasty dessert 🤣
hhAHHAHA OMGGGGG
Indo Chinese is such an underrated cuisine.
Beryl, if you have Chinese friends make a video with them having Indo Chinese food and share their reaction.
Actually our chinese fusion is of Manchurian group that fled china
@@kaustubhraizada I thought it was the Hakka Chinese that migrated from China during British India times to make a better life for themselves. They migrated to the capital of British India, i.e., Kolkata and that city is known for the birth of Indo-chinese.
I’m kinda happy that this includes food stuff other than naan and butter chicken. But this was still predominantly North Indian cuisine. I wish you would include South Indian as well as North East Indian cuisines. These are so overlooked especially the NE dishes. I know you have featured dosas and idlis many a times on your channel, but please do try the Malabar beef fry and Parotta of Kerala, Thairu Saadham of Tamil Nadu, Korri Roti from Mangalore, Bisi Bele Bath of Karnataka, Andhra lunch meals, Axone (akhuni) or Jadoh from the 7 sisters of NE India.
Cheers! :)
Rasam, more kozhambu & vathakozhambu can bring tears of joy to anyone who hasn't tried them!
@@uthrasriram9386 oh, I'm salivating at the thought of vathakozhambu. Had it a few days ago.
@alisha thayir sadam is literally life. I'm a tambrahm and hence, a vegetarian. I had to travel to Iran for work once. It is exactly as you imagine. Difficult to survive if you're a vegetarian. I survived on salads, fruits and tons of thayir sadam 😂😂
@@sriramrajagopalan7234 these days you can carry MTR /Kitchens of India ready to eat packets. Myself & hubby did so for 17 days of lunch & dinner during our European visit... also, dry roast everything & take vathakozhambu mix/ puliodare mix... very handy
Bisibele & Khichdi (or welp as they say in Delhi, Kadhi Chawal) are my favs! They almost taste them same to me except my extended family from karnataka make it more sweet
As a South Indian born and raised in North India whose favourite thing ever is Naga food..I 1000% agree!
I love INDIAN FOOD 😋 I also LOVE THIS CHANNEL. The education we get and the ability to appreciate other cultures and each other
Finally getting a special video for India!
Love you Beryl 😍
Beryl, I'm sure you get great Indian food in NYC, but you should consider a day trip to New Jersey, specifically Iselin and Edison, for some great Indian groceries and restaurants.
Genuis series. I get overwhelmed by not being familiar with a menu. I can't wait to try all of these!
There is so much variety in Indian food, so I'm glad you were able to showcase some of it here! Indochinese is a favorite of mine, and it's lesser known, so I'm pleased to see it highlighted here. Would be great for you to do a full video on it! Also makes me wonder about other similar fusion cuisines.
I would love to see you try food from Ghana. I have been wanting to try it but I am afraid it might be too spicy for me so I am hoping you can prove that wrong! I know you tried fufu before but I would love to see more Ghanaian variety! It could help me narrow down a menu if I ever get the chance to visit a Ghanaian restaurant :)
Same!
I did a whole video about ghana where people rec food here: ua-cam.com/video/kYH45_Gwnnc/v-deo.html
I’m so happy you loved the order!! This video was so different from the other ones on your channel! Great idea!😄😍
Sweet. I love Indian food. I feel so good when I eat it. 😌 Yum in my tum. Thanks Beryl. 🇨🇦
Beryl describing Rashomalai "It makes me feel things."
It really truly does, man.
Rashomalai is one of my favourite too.💜💜💜💜 I'mma big fan of food dishes that incorporate milk product.✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾💜💜💜
That Okra!! I will definitely look for a recipe, as I haven't cooked veggie Indian food for a while! And Keema Pao=Indian Sloppy Joe!!
How about doing an episode based from where your husband/husbands family are from? That would be good as there are many unique recipes in the various parts of India!
I love this idea! I'm timid about trying new things in restaurants, this makes it easier. I like going to Indian buffets because I can try a little bit of something new without commiting to a whole dish.
"achaar" means pickle in indonesian too, but we spell it acar. i didn't know the word acar originally came from hindi.
even though i know indonesia has tons of loanwords from our diverse history, it's still such a fascinating phenomenon to witness.
I have seen many Indonesian words that actually comes from Sanskrit! 🤔🤔
@Keith Craig Thanks for the information buddy!🙏
it's so fun to see languages having the similar words of origin. I've never had any indonesian friends but I would surely love to have one! They just seem fun to talk to because the culture and the history are too similar with India.
I went to Bali. As you can see my name is Sriram. Whenever I mentioned my name, I got stares of amazement, as if I were Shri Ram himself from the Ramayana. It was a little embarrassing and led to a lot of chuckles.
I saw an Indonesian interpretation of the Ramayana too. It's advertised as Fire dance. They call it Kecak. It's like a street play if Ramayana within the temple grounds. It was awesome.
Took me WAY too long to make the connection, but in Filipino our word for pickles is "atsara" !! Specifically it's pickled papaya by default but still pickle nonetheless
I actually had malai kofta for the first time ever yesterday and it’s AMAZING!!! I just search any name on the menu I don’t know and order based on looks (works 9/10 times). And yes, I did take a nap after lol
I actually laughed when you were trying the malai kofta, because I’m literally eating malai kofta for lunch with parathe. Rasmalai is definitely delicious, but I usually prefer eating jalebi, ladoo (besan is where it’s at, but boondi is good too), and gajar halwa (gajrela). Gajar halwa is amazing because you can have it hot or cold! However, the king inn my opinion, is Soan Papdi. This yummy pistachioey sugar floss type of dessert that’s super flaky is just love. 😍 Yum yum yum! I think I’ll have to get some rasmalai when I get home.
As a side note, I definitely appreciate the fact that Indian food isn’t the same throughout India. It’s usually regional based. I’ve grown up with Punjabi/Dehli style cooking since my parents are from those states.
I loooove gajar halwa! Since the only Indian restaurant near me doesn't make it, I make it myself (me and Betty Crocker Int'l)
Soan Papdi looks sooo similar to the halava I grew up with
Try Mysore Pak and you might forget soan papdi.🔥 PS: not all Mysore Pak are good.
When I first saw the Lasuni Gobi, the first thing that popped into my head was “Oh! That looks like the gu louh yuhk popo makes” and when I heard that it was a part of Indo-Chinese cuisine that just made me feel so happy and warm. Gu louh yuhk was a big part of my childhood and we would always order it at restaurants and the bits of canned pineapple would be the highlight for me. The way my popo (grandma) makes it isn’t spicy, but it does have that intense bright red color from the ketchup she uses
and rasamalai shall forever have my heart... its one of my favs. it feels like the king... i remember trying it for the first time on my flight back to india and fell straight for it.
2:11 In bihar we use rice flour instead of chickpea Or mix of rice flour with chickpea flour or other lentils flour as using rice flour is stable in Bihari cuisine especially for savory fritters, veg pancakes, chilka, kachri & such..It's gives lil chewy, way more crunchy texture to it while still being soft from inside.
I loved the video. Would love you to do a second part and the second part could have a little of all the states' and Union Territories' dishes.
My husband and I love trying new cuisines. Our favorites are Asian, including Japanese, Korean and Indian. He loves getting lamb curry and we get paneer kulcha. My comfort dish is butter chicken but I love other dishes as well. But lately I'm just on that butter chicken kick. (I know I know...)
Because it's delicious !
butter chicken is life.
Mmm.. butter chicken. I’m vegetarian so I just eat the sauce or add paneer instead of the chicken
@@globalcitizenn that's literally paneer makhni
Butter chicken is a well loved comfort food for most North Indians (like me) too.
Rumali Roti was used as Handkerchief(Rumal in Hindi/Bengali) or tissue paper during Mughal time after having greasy food.
Amazing how some food gets it's name!😅❤️
Why did they had to wipe their hands on food though?
Rumali Roti is very thin, just like a paper, as Mughal foods were/are mostly oily/greasy, using Rumali roti helps a lot.
@@ewshutup910 royalty are eccentric
@@ewshutup910 they wiped the greasy fingers on rumaali roti after food and ate this as I've read somewhere. they didn't just threw it away 🤦🏽♀️
@@beautiful_sky111 only kings and royalties did that, and they gave the rumali to their servants after that they didn't throw it away, its the same like european monarch that only eat the upper crust white bread and give the left over lower brown and hard crust bread to their servants lol
Loved this format. While i will happily go into an unfamiliar cuisine, having a bit of word explanation, seeing the good, hearing spicy vs hot, etc is very helpful.
I would love a virtual tasting tour of chinese food, especially different region variations...no matter what format you choose
You should definitely try cuisines from other parts of India as well, like South Indian (every teeny tiny district in South India has it's own cuisine), East Indian (like Bengali, Odia, Bihari cuisine), North eastern cuisine (like Assamese, Naga, Mizo, etc etc), Rajashthani cuisine, Gujrati cuisine and also Kashmiri cuisine... You'll be overwhelmed by how much the flavours and ingredients vary from each of the mentioned cuisines, even though we all belong to the same lovely country, India...
Love this idea! Great video! The only thing that would make it better is if the editor included the name of the item so that the viewer could read it at the same time you or your guests are talking about it. I’m not familiar with these words and it would even less intimidating if I could see the spelling. Thank you for being so entertaining and teaching about culture and food at the same time!!
New camera angle! I’ll definitely have to try the rasmalai; I usually go straight for the kheer (preferably with pistachios).
I am sure you will love it. Do reply here after trying lol. I am on a calorie restricted diet, and I miss rasmalai so much.
This video push me to order Indian food for the first time and I absolutely love it. Thank you ❤
This was a great idea for a video! I hope you do more different cuisines, especially Vietnamese. Lots of people know about pho and banh mi, but there are so many more dishes that need to be shared with the world! Thanks for always giving us the knowledge along with the entertainment, Beryl!
I've had a plethora of dishes from various regions, but I've yet to explore more African dishes and some traditional Jamaican cuisine. If you did that for the next episode, it'd give some of us a starting point for exploring those cuisines (plus, I don't really know Jamaican dishes other than jerk chicken, so I could use a palette expansion).
Also, your channel is the most wholesome channels out there, thank you for everything that you do for and with us fans!
Kudos to all the people who chose these dishes. A real great job done guys!!!
love all the dishes you mentioned... they are amazing but would love to see you try south Indian dishes. i remember you and another youtuber went to saravana bhavan... would love to see you try chettinad chicken dishes, the flavours are wow. the andra dishes are spicy.... kerala's puttu and channa is yumm... there too much more i haven't tried. but would love for you to check it out...
Seconded! Most people who've had South Indian food think of dosas, but I'd love to see you try some of the less common dishes, like upma, oothappam, malabar paratha, and filter coffee!
Yes!!! I was thinking the same... It's depressing to see South Indian dishes remain unexplored☹️
There was no South Indian food on the menu guys! Would have loved to order some for her :)
yesss malabar paratha, ootapam are yummm. no upma bro... lol... also she tried filtercoffee in one of her coffee episodes...@@WiseFamin
@@shrutii2089 yes it was a dabha.. it was a suggestion for a future video...
I loved this! I also wanted to say that you came up with an amazing way to do a sponsored post. It showed the sponsor well but was also interesting and very useful.
Wow what a fun video! I wish I could do this bc I live in a small town and we don’t have a broad choice of restaurants so whenever I have the opportunity to travel to another city I often try as many new kitchen as I can. If someone told me what to order in those moments my life would be amazing 😭
I grew up eating Indian food. I’m so pleased to see so many of my favorites. I hope you do another Indian take out episode that is even more adventurous…In Washington State we have a few places in the Seattle area that are doing Indian food pizzas?! Have you tried these?
rasmali is one of those things i could eat a boatload of :D I'd like to see you try Filipino food- try pancit canton, pancit bihon, and pancit palabok to see the differences i these three noodle dishes. There is also 3 kinds or spring rolls-fresh- lumpiya na sariwa, fried- with meat-lumpia shanghai, and lumpia pritang - fried but served
with a vinegar
This is an incredible idea! So creative, so fun, and I super enjoyed watching it. Never seen any content like this and that is exciting! I order Indian food fairly often and definitely get overwhelmed. Thank you for always making such fun, educational, creative things!
HEY BERYL!! We want "My Subscribers Order Indian Food For Me part 2 "( south indian food edition) .. pls do that as well..
I love this! I always want to try new plates when I go to restaurants. And this gives me a little information and encourage enough to do so.
Thank you Beryl!
As an indian I have never tasted *kurkuri bhindi* 😂 but what she says is that ( deep fry anything and it's going to taste awesome ) it's actually true 💯 🥰 thank you so much for trying all these Indian dishes 🙏 & your reaction was awesome 😍
I have, it’s pretty common in coastal zone of Maharashtra
I feel indian food is incomplete with biryani ....
1. Ambur biryani
2. hyderabadi
3. Bombay
4. Lucknowi
It will be good to see the comparison between them by Beryl
Sponsorship aside, this is a phenomenal idea for a video. Especially with you living in NYC, having access to everything the world has to offer.
I watched this while browsing the menu of my favorite local Indian place! Turns out they have most of these dishes, and I will definitely be trying some soon (with lamb korma because it's my favorite though!) I loved this episode, please do more and also other cuisines!
I ate once in indian restaurant in Kraków. and it was so delicious!
This was amazing! Such a creative idea. I hope you do this kind of thing often.
Beryl i want clarify that chickpea and bengal grams are different and pakoras are made of 'besan' which is Bengal gram flour not chick pea
In hindi chickpea is kabuli 'chana' and bengal gram is only 'chana'. So, i don't understand why foreigners used chickpea instead of gram. Although gram comes under chickpea family but gram flour would be more appropriate.
Chickpea is so close to gram to the point where it's interchangeable. Also, chickpeas are way more accessible.
@@Bllue understand but i van change the traditional recipe.
Besan isn't roasted bengal gram.. It's just plain bengal gram flour. If the bengal gram is roasted before it's powdered,it's called sattu.
@@pujap5483 My bad !
@@vuuugle . It's ok.. Let's keep learning new things..
Thank you for letting your Indian subscribers introduce you to new Indian dishes. Bhindi is one of my favourites but lots of people in the UK don't like it because they have never eaten it Indian style! Love from the UK. 🇬🇧
I never knew India also had pão from Portuguese tradition. This is so cool. Learned something today!
Yep all the Indian Chaats have pav which is nothing but bread Pao in Portugese...India is a potpourri of cultures and its cuisine reflects its diversity...Every 10 kms in India offers something slightly different in culinary delight...
This is a really fun video format, and a great way to do a product placement that is not annoying! Please make more videos like this :)
The soft cheeseball part of rasmalai is called rasgulla or roshogolla, which is a dessert on it's own right. Probably the precursor dessert, bases on which a plethora of cheese or chenna based desserts are made, particularly in eastern india. Very different than your condensed milk or khowa based desserts, popular in North India.
This is such a cool concept!! I just love your content, Beryl!
My favourite Indian curry sauce is 'Dansak' which is a kind of sweet and sour dal. i think I prefer lamb Dansak to Chicken Dansak, but tbh the lentils are the star of the dish. I like paratha as a bread, but it is very rich, so if you have a lot of creamy/buttery sauces, a plainer bread can be more appropriate.
As a Floridian I actually suprised India has monsoons seasons. Reminds me of Hurricane season for us. It's from June to November.
We have 6 Seasons in India. Some of the Heaviest Rainfall Destinations on Planet Earth exist in India-Mawsynram and Cherrapunji in Meghalaya State. Western and Eastern Ghats Mountain Ranges has got plenty of Rainy Hill Stations, worth exploring during monsoon seasons.
Please consider other parts of Indian cuisines, like when we say "India" it includes south, east and western parts not only (the northern part) thank you....
It was based off the menu 💜
Most restaurants have similar menu, this in fact looked better menu
This made me miss my favorite Indian restaurant when I traveled to VA for work! They had such a great variety. I really need to work more on finding a good place near me, but most of the places we’ve tried have had very limited menus. And most have recently dropped pakora, gobi, & roti … if they even had them to begin with.
This is such a great idea! We had someone ask if they could buy us lunch earlier in the year, from a place we had never tried before. They chose things we never would have tried, and it was great!
I LOVE THIS IDEA SO MUCH!!! I definitely order the same things at any ethnic restaurant all the time, and I love seeing new things to understand what I’m ordering.
Same literally made this series out of a personal problem and the other episodes I filmed have opened my world I’m so excited to release them
This is a brilliant idea! Choose all the ethnic restaurants for us!
Love your channel Beryl!
You should do Chinese food!! You’d have to find a place where they make more traditional dishes though! No general Tao chicken for that episode 😂
Yes! When I went to mainland China, I realised how underrated and (diverse!) Chinese food really is. Even upon my return to Australia, I learned that I was ordering it all wrong, there is so much more on the menu you know what to look for. Possibly my favourite cuisine when done right!
You should really do more parts of Indian cuisine as well! I feel like this JUST barely scratched the surface of actual Indian cuisine, only the typical North Indian or Mumbai cuisine. There is SO much more you can order and eat which includes street food type dishes, south indian, maharashtrian dishes like puran poli and misal and just so much more! I would really love for you to try these!
yes of course but its not always easy to find those outside of India!
@@BerylShereshewsky thats true too! Anyway cannot wait for the other parts! Amazing idea of a series!
This is such a great idea! Love it. Thanks for sharing, I hope your travels in India are going well. 💕
Also please can we address your Yoda welcome mat 😂😂
Really super!!! Rasmalai is also one of my favourite sweet dish. I am from Mumbai, it's raining in Mumbai, the Vada Pav and Kanda bhaji the perfect snack for the season. Ur Kanda bhajji looked like it had lots of batter, the perfect way to make kanda bhajji is not to add water, u should make the sliced onions sweat, mix in all the required spices and then add the chickpea flour slowly (basically dust over the onion mixture) and combine well and fry to get perfect crispy bhajji. The secret is no water, use the moisture from the onion to make ur batter, this is not ur typical batter.
Loads of love from India
this is such a fun idea for a video series! I'm very curious to see what cuisines you try next:)
First off, love the video and the idea of spreading your pallet into the unknown, second off, we have to acknowledge the amazing 'welcome you are' door mat you own! Love it! 😂👏
Your face is so wonderfully expressive, it's so fun to watch you!
Kolkata is the birthplace of Indo-chinese cuisine ❤️
😋😋😋 Seen several channels recently make Manchurian Gobi and it was already on my list. Your channel has opened up so many new things - love it! I'd love to see videos on Vietnamese and Thai. We always hit the pumpkin curry at our Thai place and should probably be more adventurous. 😊
When your having stressful day there is nothing better than getting a bowl of cereal and watching Beryl.
Beryl out here with the unique videos and community engagement
Oh my god, I need to search my city's Indian restaurants for the achari, you had me at pickles!
I love the violet fabindia bowl Beryl❣
Ok but no shame in orders the basics! Saag panner, garlic naan, and golab jam (kalo jam in bengali) are popular because they're good!
Actually kalojam and gulaabjamun are different dishes. Cheers!
Thank you for the amazing video Beryl, I learned a lot about the Indian Cuisine. Love to try these dishes in the future ❤️
I'm so glad to see malai kofta included in this lineup! That's my favorite curry dish and very few of my friends have every heard of it or tried it!
I feel like malai kofta is a great recommendation for people who want to branch out but are also a little hesitant. It's a dish that hits a lot of the same notes as a tikka masala or saag paneer, since it's creamy and has the warm spices we're familiar with, but is also a new experience of dumplings in gravy. It's one of my favorites! 😋
Oh, and I would love to see a south India version of this! South Indian food is so different and not nearly as familiar to people in the US.
You should do Mediterranean/Lebanese/whatever cuisine of that general area!
Yes! She should!!!
Yes!! My favourite flavour too🌞 mmmm💖
I don't know how you manage to create such incredible content! I think this is going to be my next favorite series.
Some recommendations for the next country: Filipino, Vietnamese
Great video, and I really love this idea. How about Turkish. Romanian, or Greek for the next food.
Lovely video. These are really popular North Indian dishes. Wish someone had recommended dishes from other parts of India. But then again, India is so vast that you could run your channel on this alone for years and still miss out on stuff :)
