    What most people don't know that there are 29 Indian states and they all have different culture, traditions and food!!!! What most restaurants sell is food from the state of Punjab which is mostly spicy and delicious :d. These food are to be eaten occasionally because they are too heavy. I would recommend people to try some new recipes from the states of North-east India, West Bengal, Utter-Pradesh and Goa. You would be surprised with the variety and health benefits :)

    Love the Enthusiasm, the whole conversation on "traditional" was very well handled and I completely agree. By the way, while it is true that, in general we Indians eat with the right hand it is not as sensitive a topic as you might have been told. I am left handed and often eat with the left hand and I lived to tell the tale. Your knowledge of "Indianness" will be based on a limited set of people you interact with, who will probably color the knowledge they impart with their personal opinions. So I suggest you research well and take everything with a pinch of salt...and garam masala of course.

      This is exactly right! Indian food has a lot of fiber (lentils, beans, vegetables, whole grains) and that can make you regular (BM twice or thrice/day). Its funny how Americans are used to thinking less is normal. The truth is, Americans are fiber deprived.

    @polashadhikari5761 7 років тому +5

    What a great take on Indian food. You would think there would be some rules for a complex curry, but paradoxically you are right , "tradition" is what you make of it individually.
    Spice is magical. The combination used for the Garam Masala gives away a little about the region of India, but can be individual and unique as a fingerprint.
    Spice mixes bought at a store is often precooked and can be added at the beginning or towards the end of your curry cooking. Fresh spices crushed and processed at home should almost always go in early and be cooked thoroughly, otherwise the raw taste spoils the curry. Final two tips: tomato in Indian cooking has to be cooked down slowly, this is not Italian or Vietnamese cooking. Indian curry cooking needs low to medium heat from your gas stove top, not high like a stirfry. You will see that almost universally the cooks never tell you the heat setting.

    Hey. Just came across your channel a few days of ago and I have to say your cooking philosophy is something I have inculcated for years now. Nice to see couple of guys having fun while cooking and try out new recipes, something I do with my brother quite often.
    A tip for the tomato sauce (in case you don't already know it 😅) - The curry leaves that you added when you were almost done cooking it could be added while you were frying the spices and before you added the ginger, garlic and onion paste. They might wilt but their flavour will be enhanced but still subtle and more consistent in whatever dish you use the sauce for.

  • @FeliciaFollum
    @FeliciaFollum 7 років тому +86

    Thanks for this! These were all new for me. I make Aloo Gobi, Aloo Matar, Saag Aloo, Raas Mat, Briyani, Raita (which your herb chutney looks like it could be made into a Raita if you added yogurt and a bit of water instead of oil), Chilli Chutney, Pakoura and Samosa and a couple others where I have just played and don't know the names of.
    I often times substitute potatoes for paneer. Like Saag Paneer, Aloo Paneer is just as tasty (and I use lots of potatoes)
    lol yes!!! I was just thinking that you guys should be eating with your hands.
    I'm learning Hindi, so I usually watch cooking videos in Hindi which is an AMAZING way to practice a language but I will definitely be back to this video when I decide that I want to cook a bunch or something new.

      Felicia Follum -Hi. It's amazing that you can cook so many north Indian dishes. 👍😊 btw you can make your own panner at home too. Just boil full cream milk. Take it off heat and add lemon juice. After some time the protein in the milk and water seperates. Strain the water and squeeze out the extra water from the milk solids. And there you have it. Home made pander . Easy 😊
      Ps :- you can store that strained water and use it in your curry instead of plain water. It gives them a slightly tangy taste.
      Also home made panner is a bit crumbly. So you may not be able to cut it into proper blocks.

    Just a couple of tips :)
    A spice to add that specific flavour to Tikka Masala or Butter Chicken is fenugreek. It's the signature but hard-to-pinpoint flavour. Either with dried fenugreek leaf or a small amount of the ground seed.
    Rice and water ratio was a bit off. With basmati, I would only use up to 3:2 (1 1/2 cup water to 1 cup rice), or sometimes as low as 5:4 (i.e. 1 1/4 cup water, to 1 cup rice).

    Good effort by you guys. The food looks delicious. I totally agree with the tradition thing. Even we can't prepare burgers like you or eat flawlessly with fork and knife.
    But I really wonder who propagated the idea of Indian food being spicy? Some dishes, yes. Everything spicy, no!!! The people from the west need to come to India and taste home-cooked meals. They are the real deal. Most restaurants use lots of oil, spices, and heavy ingredients like cashews to prepare gravies. We don't and cannot eat that kind of food everyday. Coz if we did, we would have obesity problem like USA. The real Indian food happens at home. Nourishing and simple.

    • @BlueberryBumblebees
      @BlueberryBumblebees 7 років тому +31

      I think it comes from the fact that much of the west, especially in Europe, didn't have good spices until they started importing them from the east, India in particular is known for having the ability to grow many of them.

    • @ManjuModiyani
      @ManjuModiyani 7 років тому +33

    Pro tip for the boys, salt your sauces *after* you reduce them!! You keep tasting it when it's all watered down and then you add salt. Don't do that! When it simmers down the salt will be more concentrated and you can't take it out when it's too much!

    My friends, when we were in middle school (secondary), would bring lemon rice almost every day and they would hand it to me, and I found it delicious.
    There is also another dish I had which consisted of something similar to a Mexican tortilla, opening it up, and putting a pinch of brown sugar inside.
    Another time, for breakfast my friend’s mom made a spicy red gravy and a soft boiled egg with vegetables inside, and eaten with rice, it was amazing.
    Also, for any advice with handling spice, they told me dairy was the way to go. Be it milk, yogurt, etc., they will all help to cool your mouth. Also, they always had a buttery rice that would help. Surprisingly, butter also works well to tame the heat.
    And, hands down, curry is an amazing winter dish. A lot of Asian cultures have their own variations, but Indian curry has an exceptional control of the flavor and spices.

There are also a lot of Indian dentists & doctors in the area, so my city has quite a few Indian restaurants. Down the road is an Indian all-you-can-eat buffet, I go about once a month, I get a take-out container, fill it up, get it weighed & take it home. I rarely spend more than $7. Everything is delicious--especially the goat curry, which is more curry than goat, but still good.

    Just a little fun fact. When you add tomato, be it chopped or pureed, it basically stops cooking process because of the water content. So we actually need to roast the spices sufficiently before we add tomato. Also after adding tomato you need to keep stove on high flame for some time, not dim it down.

      @jesse_ghost 8 років тому

      +Palak Kapoor when u store ur paneer always do store it in a bowl with some water. refrigerators tend to evaporate all the moisture from the paneer and dont cook ur paneer for too long try adding it in the end....

    • @muchotaku1660
      @muchotaku1660 8 років тому

      +Palak Kapoor you probably have the oil too hot or have left it in there for too long , I'd recommend to leave it for around 2-3 minutes max and try flipping it , also go for bigger paneer Squares than you already do
      I hope that helps

    Heya you two,
    great idea. Here's my family's curry, for a try.
    Ingredients:
    1x big can of corn (ca. 200g)
    1x big can of peas ( ca 200g)
    8x carottes or more
    1x small package of sesame-seeds
    1x small package of pinenuts
    1x small package of cashewnuts
    1x small package of sunflowerseeds
    1x bundle fresh coriander
    1x bundle of fresh mint
    1x bundle of fresh chive
    1x half cup of limejuice
    1x glas of dryed tomatos
    500ml of sieved or blended tomatos
    10 cherry tomatos or 6 big ones
    Tomato paste
    150g or one steak per person of meat of your choice (you have to dice it up anyway)
    1-2 cups of Basmatirice
    2 bell peppers red AND yellow
    90g of black olives
    3x red onions
    herbbutter
    Honey
    Peanutoil
    Walnut- or Sesame- or Mustard- or Canolaoil or mixture of all
    250ml Joghurt
    1-2 packages parmesan
    4x Tablespoons of mustard
    8-10 chillis of your choice
    As powder (about 8-10 Tablespoons. I actually never measured it):
    Cinnamon
    Black Pepper
    Cayenne Pepper
    Red AND yellow Curry
    Curcuma
    Paprika
    Nutmeg (ONLY 5 Tablespoons max)
    optional:
    Cheese to make a casserole
    How to cook:
    1.Dice up meat, onions, 8 tomatos and the bell peppers. Cut the carottes into finger long stripes. Hack up the bundles of herbs. Prepare the spice powders in a bowl (mix it good). Put in the meat and coat every dice of meat with spices. Put the spiced meat into a bowl with prepared peanutoil and honey mix. Then coat all that with parmesan and sesame seeds. Put it into a fridge for an hour. Longer would be tastier.
    2.Grind up the cashews roughly. Melt some herbbutter in a pan and fry up the onions with a bit of honey on middle heat until onions are slightly brown. Turn down to little flame and fry the pinenuts, cashews and sunflower seeds until brown. Mix in half a bundle of fresh coriander, chive and mint into the pan and let it simer for five minutes. Take it out of the pan.
    3.Dice up the dryed tomatos, black olives and chillis. Heat up the oil that is not peanut oil in a pan and fry the meat with a bit of tomato paste. Remove meat but keep the juice in the pan and add mustard. Cook the bellpeppers, tomatos and chillis for ten minutes and add three table spoons of joghurt. Add the sieved and the dryed tomatos and cook it until it bubbles slightly, then put in the carottes, peas, corn and olives. You have to mix it constantly for 10-20 minutes on small flame (depends on how bity you want the carottes). Put in the meat. Turn off the stove and mix in the nutmix from step two into it. Let it stay for about five minutes. (If making it as a casserole DON'T put in the meat.)
    4.Cook the rice like you normally would. Remove the water and put the rice into a bowl. Add the second half of the mint, coriander and chive bundles and a bit of yellow currypowder to the rice. Mix it and drizzle limejuice over it.
    5.When doing the casserole. Put the casserole platethingy into a bath of warm water and let the herbbutter melt, so you can put it all around the casserole thingy. Meaning, there should be butter on the inside of the baking bowl (?) floor and edges. Put in the rice until it coats the floor. Drop the meat over the rice until the rice is covered. Add the sauce and drizzle grated cheese over it and bake it on a preheated oven (200°C, You maybe have to convert that) for twenty to thirty minutes or until cheese is sufficant brown.
    It is the curry on which six generations of my family has put in ingredients in it. So it is called the Subhani (My last name. Meaning gift of god, afaik) Curry. Enjoy making it.
