About Me:
Chef Keith’s exciting take on Indian cuisine uses his passion for the spices and flavors of the Indian subcontinent with fresh, seasonal ingredients from New England farms to create a dining experience like no other.
Years ago, he dipped a charred piece of bread into a rich gravy that soaked each crumb like a sponge. He raised it to his mouth and closed his eyes, and that is where his journey began.
Chef Keith is a 5x author, restauranteur, and public speaker who grew up in a small city in New Hampshire in the United States. Growing up in kitchens, he learned how to cook from many amazing western chefs. Each chef would impart the knowledge passed down to them by their mentors. It wasn’t until much later in life that he would try his first bite of Indian food. He began learning under an Indian home cook and went on to study with food archeologists and historians from across India.
Love your content and passion to learn about Indian cuisine.
Refreshing; Chef Keith you are definitely, and boldly plumbing hitherto undefined depths! 😁👌I applaud your courage!
Jugaad english equivalents - Jerry built, jury rigged ... what a clever improvisation! 😉
My friend!!! This comment made my whole day. Thank you so so so much
Entirely, my pleasure, Chef!
I have admired the Blue Earth River in Mankato with reverence in your back of the woods and tried a bottle of Kingfisher Beer many Moons ago! ❤🎉😂
Very interesting video. Earned a new sub! You are spot on when you say homemade indian food is wildly different from restaurant style indian food. I live in NJ and although there is some incredible indian food here that's quite authentic, it's nothing like homemade.
Thanks for the sub! Welcome to the community
Vindaloo at my place when you come to Goa 😊👍
Be there this year!!
Hello to my penpal from across the water. What a fantastic and interesting discussion. I could listen to you for hours as you are on my wavelength. What i would give to sit with you in a pub and just discuss Indian food and also talk about your life as a chef in general. Your channel is unique and has its own style which is refreshing. I am looking forward to your videos when you next visit India. Peace.
Andy, how are you my friend why don’t we make this happen? You’re just across the pond.
Thanks Kieth, I admire the fact, that you do your research for your videos.
That's great.
I used to be vegetarian, but due to some medical issues and underweight, I was advised to start having certain meats. Chicken is almost a weekly must in my home. I have eaten chicken tikka with peas and carrots chutney and it was delicious. Also I make butter chicken, with plain peas and a separate nut chutney and celery salad, which is my own recipe.
Thanks Kieth. You're a special humble GENTLEMAN. Blessings.
Don't bother about the negative comments.
❤❤
Ty my friend. I wish you all the health and love
@@chefKeithSarasin Take care and stay safe too. ❤🎩
please use the offical map of india not the distorted map.
Thank you chef even house to house taste of food in india changes mix of spices changes its complex😊
Absolutely agree! Thanks for watching!
This was absolutely brilliant
Ty so much for watching
@@chefKeithSarasin I watch you everywhere Sir. We talked about this on X aka Twitter. We exchange messages on Instagram
Keith unlike the west broiler chicken became available in India in most cities around late 1970 ties.
Local Indian chicken those days was very tasty but very tough even tougher to cook than goat.
Also till mid 80ties or early 1990 ties nobody in frugal India would think of discarding the chicken skin.
Infact the chicken skin and neck was considered the tastiest part of the chicken.
Remember this was India where in 1975 95+% of Indians did not even have B&W TV or Refrigerators.
I find it weird people claiming they were making chicken Biryani in 1970 ties. No I lived in Bangalore, Delhi, Hyderabad during that decade. I can assure you nobody was making chicken Biryani . Even goat/sheep biryani for that matter was very rare outside muslim localities in cities with heavy muslim population.
I know how much we struggled to find food those days. In Delhi in fact due to caste issues there were only a hand ful of restaurants mostly in muslim areas and few in Punjabi areas. Even now I Have friends and office colleagues in Delhi, Bangalore who have never eaten in a restaurant. They avoid even vegetarian restaurants.
So all this talk about people eating meat or in restaurants extensively is pure hogwash. I know because my father was a govt servant and he got transferred every 1.5-2.5 years as per his service requirements.
Hell we couldn't find normal decent tea in Bengaluru in early 1980 ties.
That is the reason why we have restaurants in South India labeled prominently as Pure Veg and waiters and cooks in traditional Brahmin gear to attract upper caste hindu customers.
In Northern India it was way worse. Even today large swaths of people look down upon eating outside the house they give excuse of hygiene though.
Indians have an habit of extreme emblishment of History. Also every area around the country was much more insulated than it is now. So dont take history of Mumbai or any other city/ region and apply it to rest of India.
I would really question wether chicken was cooked in tandoor in 1950 ties. Or even 1960 ties.
Someone needs to investigate these stories. It makes no culinary sense to claim that the tough chicken could be cooked in Tandoor in 1950 ties.
Even today trying to cook chicken the right way like Indians like it is a difficult task in either Oven, Barbecue or tandoor. I have tried it all dozens of times in all three of them. The number of hoops one needs to cook this 5 week old broiler chicken to get the thorough cooked level South Asians like compare that to the very tiugh 8 month old country chicken with skin in 1960ties.
Tandoor has specific requirements of age, fresh non frozen, marination, and two rounds of cooking in tandoor with a brief rest in between.
No you cant recreate the chicken of few decades back as even country chickens in India are now new hybrid breeds typically 3-4 month old quite different from the chicken of old times.
Thank you so much for sharing all these incredible stories. I really didn’t do agree with you on the premise of so many stories become fabricated. Obviously, I cannot speak to what was around the restaurant scene in that time but from all my research, it’s really hard to pinpoint origins of many things, when it comes to modern Indian food.
Masterly presentation to get home the facts in a delicate way without offending anyone.
I would have said CTM is British, BC is Punjabi and gotten swamped by online outrage.
Thank you for the kind words from everything. I’m reading chicken tikka masala is definitely a derivative of butter chicken and was probably made in Glasgow Scotland from a Pakistani born Chef
Keith is a real food lover. Every one who loves tasty food will go around the world and end up in India. No disrespect to the food everywhere in the world, it's all wonderful but Indian cuisine just hits different.
love it!! Can you do recipe videos??
Yes I can
Chicken tikka is the original dhaba style Kebab, now the road side dhabas used the leftover chicken tikka and tossed it in tomato and cream gravy,....its from the time of the partition....somehow down the line this particular dish travelled to England and won the palates of the Snobbish Brits.... both Chicken tikka masala and the authentic Butter chicken is Quintessential Indian creation..... Butter Chicken infact originated in Moti Mahal restaurant in Delhi.
There was no such thing in India in 1947
BRITS In INDIA created it during PARTITION..
CHICKEN TIKKA origin from PAKISTANIs in Britain...
Please visit Bengaluru and try the rendition of Butter Chicken in Nagarjuna, Bheema's etc. These serve Andhra Cuisines. Further, please try the vegetarian 'meals', they are simply mind blowing. I also strongly recommend the Nagrujuna Biryani (mutton). It is simply mind blowing. Please try the mutton / chicken stew as prepared in Kerala. There is so much more in Bharat.
Thanks for the tips!
North Indian in South India? 🤮
plz dont show wrong map of indiA
Note that the first syllable in the term "Punjab(i)" is pronounced like the English word "pun" and not as "poon".
I know. I did. I talk fast sometimes for sure
they both yummy LOL
Sadly thats the meal restaurants in the west sell in the name of Indian food..UA-cam is filled with westerners trying indian food for firsg time and voila you see either of two dishes with garlic naan
I definitely agree with you, but that’s why we must keep making the videos and helping inform people
@@chefKeithSarasin yes chef. TV shows or segments will also help the audience know the vast base of Indian cuisine..
In fact my mother and many of my elderly relatives have never eaten butter chicken in their life. Neither have they eaten paneer. And we are muslim meat eaters. 😂
I can say with 100% certainty that 95% of the elderly Muslims in Hyderabad and many other cities have never heard of Vindaloo or Chettinad Cuisine.
@@raregat1693 it’s amazing to see that these dishes are so relatively new.
@@chefKeithSarasin no those are not new dishes but people wouldn't travel much just 30-40 years back and if they did they would eat food either from home Or at places belonging to their own ethnic and/or religious community.
Yesterday there was a news in Hyderabad that a Muslim boy distributed Cadburys chocolates in his class. Most of the Marwari( trading community/caste originally from Rajasthan) refused to take the chocolates from him as they were labelled Halal.
Decades back my class mate in High School a state topper in Karnataka got accepted in IIT Delhi one of the Top engineering college in India. He refused to go there because he said he won't get his staple of sambar, rasam, rice and curd every day. But we all know it wasn't just because of that. He was loathe to eat food not cooked by Brahmins.
That apart indians of all castes ethnicities and religion tend to be insular about food. Also our home food is totally different and restaurant food is almost alien to our palates. It's more of eating what is not made at home. sort of like an adventure. You do it only occasionally. You can't stomach it every day Or for that matter more than a couple of days at a time. I can't get my parents to eat restaurant chicken 90% of the time. Because it's all dry inside. For them the right place for chicken is in a Khorma.
Once after living in a Hotel in Punjab for three weeks eating Rajma, chole, palak paneer, naan/ tandoori roti, badly made dosa and idly my wife stopped eating punjabi restaurant staple dishes for two years.
The only non Hyderabadi ( Muslim) foods my parents make and eat is Gujarati khandvi , Besan and South Indian idly , dosa ,marathi poha, punjabi aloo paratha. And we are a well travelled family having lived in 7 cities all over India.
My Delhi born and raised Tamil speaking mother in law who subsequently lived in Bengaluru for 55 years eats non tamil food probably once or twice a year that too as a supplement to her regular food.
She does eat aloo paratha Or paneer paratha once a week now that she lives with us.
