Actually the equivalent of MSG which brings out Umami is Asafoetida. Garam Masala is a mixture of whole spices that varies from home to home. There are recipes available online but it’s a combination of coriander seeds, cloves, green cardamom, cinnamon, star anise, mace, nutmeg, cumin, fennel seeds, etc. In South India we use the spices whole at the start as a base flavouring, whereas in the north we tend to use it as a fresh ground powder at the end as an aromatic. Try using Garam Masala in the mixture when making meatballs. It will take them to a different level.
Plenty of non-hindus and people in northeast and southern India consume beef dishes. So it's not super strange. But a Guga video with garam masala was not on my 2023 bingo card for sure lol
I've been using Garam Masala with my steak since a few years now, I almost can't imagine my steak without it anymore. Glad you guys also liked it as much as I do.
@@prady7180 Its ok....ish for sabjis like Aloo or even Bhindi....but why would you want something worse made as a substitute when the original Garam Masala is available to you as an Indian already

So to use just Garam Masala on Steak just didnt feel like it would work. But I see few other people validating it. So i guess it worked
Hi Guga, India is like 32+ countries rolled into one. Each state has its unique set of cuisines. Each state different levels of delicacies and decadence... Come to Delhi, we can start from there and then travel to a few more states in the North, South and Northeast of India. Also there are many versions of Garam Masala and many other unique blends of different spices. I usually prepare custom masala blends for each recipe - freshly ground from whole spices for extra freshness. Also introduce you to a few well known and seasoned chefs and food connoisseurs with a lot of experience.
@@maniacrammore like 50. Ive seen neighbouring villages in india that have more differences than the greatest differences I can find across my whole country. You are looking at a country native to 700+ language of which only 23 official. Even if you were extremely lax, you'd end up with at the VERY LEAST 7 'countries'.
Not impressed with the sear at all, I would just stick to searing on muh cast iron griddle. But, aside from that, really interesting machine, talk about taking the mess & hassle out of sous vide. I'm just afraid to look up the price lol.
As you are trying Indian seasoning Guga, you can try a Bangali fish fry seasonings, which is popular in Bangladesh and Bengali regions of India. It is simply salt, paprika, turmaric powder, and some lemon juice. Also try to sear it with mustard oil as traditionally Bengali fish fry use mustard oil for frying.
Guga! You should do a video at the end of the year where your put your International MSG seasonings in a bracket to see which one is the best of them all! Same for your side-dishes, because I swear sometimes they steal the show!
Since Guga has now tried the famous Garam masala, I think he should definitely try chaat masala (it has a a sour funky flavour) and asafoetida (prominently used in south Indian foods) as well..
love it, a way to level up the compound butter would to be to sub garam masala with chaat masala (a sour and funky finishing spice)! Garam masala is typically used as a warming spice (added to a dish towards the end of cooking!) great video!
Yeah probably sprinkle some Chaat Masala in the end on the compound butter sample. Nevertheless, they already loved it. And I love how we can play around our spices as per one's palette and mood. Love our Desi food. 🙂
Always doors are open for you Guga in India.. There is a lot of diversity in our country. So, every place you visit will be a treat. But i would love if you start your journey from Kolkata. Love from India🇮🇳
So right. That was one of the things I loved about India. Much like the USA, India's states can vary greatly when it comes to food, culture, and language. Highly recommend people put India on their bucket list as a travel destination. You won't regret it. I lived there for more than 5 years and it was the best time of my life.

The spices in garam masala require some temperature and time to develop, so if you making a compound butter don't just mix and cool, cook it with masala for some time, let it rest and then cool it and use it.

I tried it with steak and it definitely isn’t the spice to use for a Crust. It’s easy to burn the spice so I understand why this worked for you. No super Hot sear. Looks perfect. GARAM MASALA is perfect with 3-4 min fried in oil or roasted dry with fire or pan for 45 seconds to a 1min. It’s the same as most seasonings. Guga’s pepper doesn’t burn because it’s really course then grounded fine. Master at work. Edit: Grounded par-roasted spices get the best Flavour/fragrancy when quickly roasted or fried in a fat.
@@friedsugar2701 obvious not so obvious. Reason why Guga puts course ground black pepper before he sears is because it doesn’t burn as fast as fine ground black pepper. Some spices can handle a sear while some can’t.

I'm glad yall are honest about the sear on those steaks. 410 does not seem hot enough to properly sear a steak. Looks good otherwise. I am definitely going to try the garam masala.
Garam masala is one of the many spice mixes we use however it is never used for marinating meat. It's mostly used for finishing dal and gravies(sauces)
I would love to see a head to head contest with this new style sous vide machine versus your traditional techniques. Especially on a few different cuts of meat.
In India, we make different masala mixes for different meats , fish and prawns . You should visit Hyderabad ( Telangana, India ) which is the Biryani capital of the world and find out. We are 98 % meat eaters in our state. 🍗 🐐🐟✌️😊
You can get amazing Indian food all throughout India. I would recommend Amritsar or Delhi for various Chicken dishes especially the grilled/tikka dishes. Kolkata, Mumbai or Goa for sea food. Do visit South Indian states like Kerala or Tamil Nadu and try the Beef Parota or Vindaloo as beef is not available in most of the country. Looking forward to your video. Love from India.
in norway we have kinda something similar "piffkrydder" or sometimes just called "pomfritkrydder" but i don't feel it counts as an MSG substitute, as it's second ingredient is usally MSG. but it's really good on everything! i have it with ramen, stews, i've had it on fish, and i bet it tastes amazing on steak! i don't know the exact ingredients but it contains stuff like garlic powder, sometimes chillipowder, paprika, corriander, leek, that sort of thing. it's however probably more expensive than wagyu per kg...
A dream come true for us too . Waiting for guga to visit India and try the best foods here in India . ❤ P.s visit Mumbai, Hyderabad,Delhi ,chennai ,Kerala South Indian dishes are chef kiss 😙 must try it guga . Angel might hate the Indian dishes since it includes varities of veggies 😅
Love it! Kudos!! In India, you'd eventually end up making a buffalo or mutton steak. Beef is illegal in most states other than the Northeastern and extreme Southern part of the country, and you could get by with a pork but it is still extremely hard to find one. So better get yourself acquainted with a buffalo/goat/sheep steak beforehand.
He's making things easier for people to understand keep in mind most people don't even know what msg stands for seriously if you live in a country that doesn't add msg to their home cooked food on a regular basis ask anyone what monosodium glutamate is and thay are likely to look at you completely lost. say msg and everyone knows what you're talking about that magic white powder that makes people's over cooked food slightly better
Hi Guga, I love your videos and have been watching for the longest time I can remember - to be honest I only watch your videos on YT these days. If you visit India, skip the bigger cities like Delhi and try to go to smaller towns for better service, friendlier people, better food etc. I would recommend smaller cities or towns in Punjab or Himachal in the North but I would definitely recommend visiting South India as their cuisine is amazing and very different from what is considered "Indian" abroad.
If you go to India, please take a chance to travel around. India is such a beautiful country with many unique and diverse cultures throughout. The food you will taste in Goa is completely different than the food you will taste in Mumbai, and it is worth it to experience the difference.
Come to Kerala,Where you can try variety of beef dishes. You will definitely like Porotta(Flakybread)&Beef(Curry or Roast).You Should Also try Malabar Beef Biryani. It's yummy😋
Hi Guga, I'm Jay from UK, but my family is from Kolkata in India. You need to go Kolkata, my hometown man if you want to experience proper Indian food. I'm going back in Feb for Holiday, so maybe you can come over then. Love your episodes bro. ❤
Only a pinch of Garam masala is used at the end of cooking as a finishing spice.. coz it’s a very warming spice & should be used sparingly.. base spices are usually ground coriander and cumin along with a pinch of turmeric & chilli powder.
Every state in India has its own combo of main spices they use. Paanch Phoron is used in Eastern India heavily on the Bengal Side, Southern India heavily uses a Mustard, Coconut and Peanut paste.
Nice that you liked Garam Masala on the steaks! A few pointers on garam masala would be to: -Try not cooking it too much as the flavours and aromas are mild and cooking it for longer periods/harder destroys some of those aroma and flavour compounds, -It's a bit tedious but try grinding your own Garam Masala mix, rather than buying it pre-made(Or at the very least try to buy a Pakistani/Indian branded one). Making your own garam masala from scratch results in overall better flavour and aroma. You can also controll how much you add of what, so you could goo slighlty sweeter, spicier etc. -I think the best application for a steak would be to season the steak with just salt and red chili powder, then making a compound ghee (ghee instead of butter) with garam masala like you did in the video, using a homemade garam masala mix. An extra plus would be to slightly toast the spices before grinding them into the garam masala powder, and maybe not going too fine with the powder.
@@khakchangdebbarma6231they don’t lol mostly it’s buffalo meat but some states like in northeast of india that has a tribal culture uses beef and in the state of Kerala due to foreign influences and degradation of culture they eat beef. Rest all of India doesn’t eat beef.
If you're visiting India, you should definitely come to Kolkata. It is one of the few cities in India where beef is legal. So, you'll be not missing out on your favorite thing. You should try out the local restaurants here.
The issue I have is that none of these are anything related to msg or a version of it. These are spice mixes and in a totally different category. He done this with a few different spices now lol. This would moreso be the equivalent of Chinese 5 spice not their msg. The equivalent of msg for India doesn't actually exist.
The use of "This is the ________ MSG" when referring to something other than actual MSG is a stylistic device. In the English language, this is known as a *metaphor* You are welcome.
@@BatCaveOz hmmmm. It's a fair point but there's no reason it can't be taken as this is the ___ version of msg. Which is how I understood it. In which case it wouldn't be a metaphor. Tbh even if it is a metaphor, it's a failed one because the point stands. This an MSG have nothing in common. It's like me pointing toward a kangaroo and saying "this is the Australian pigeon". It's a flawwed metaphor. Pigeons and kangaroos are nothing alike. I'm nit making an argument against the English anyways I'm making An argument at the flawwed comparison. And if you wanna call it a metaphor then flawwed metaphor.
If you go to India you've got to visit the mountains to get that clean fresh air! Come out to Dehradun and I promise you won't be disappointed in the food or the views!
India is everything you can possibly get. North, south, northeastern ….. any state will have enough and more to keep you salivating. I live in south India and you will not be able to understand how we cook till you actually come. Hope to see you all visit my country soon !!
FInallyyy Finallyyy It is hereeee...... been waiting for this video for a while now. India I would recommend to go couple of places. 1. Delhi Chandni Chowk Best street food ever 2. lucknow to try all the best Non-veg dishes ever Tunde kabab Kabab paratha Biryani Nhiari nd what not. 3. Hydrabad only for its biryani its very famous and huge huge disclaimer U wont find any beef in India Either goat or chicken. but you will have blast. I promise you that much.
The biggest difference with Guga's preferred sear method with the flame thrower is that mild grey band. Looks like this new tool was starting to introduce it.
Next up try the thing that we all have on our steaks here: montreal steak spice, which is basically the same rub that goes on montreal smoked meat, our version of Pastrami... come to think of it, maybe also look into Montreal Smoked Meat too. Could even be worh a visit at some point.
Suggestion. Hyderabad: Biryani Kerala: Porota with choice of meat. Mumbai: (Vegan)Vada Pav, Pav Bhaji & Tawa Pulav, Jini Dosa. (NonVeg) Bade Miya popular items. Kolhapur: Chicken Thali & Street snacks. Delhi: Paratha varities, Chole & Bhature. Punjab: Dhaba foods. Kashmir: Try NonVeg. One more thing, if you find a weeding going on anywhere in India, be a weeding crasher & try weeding food all items including sweets.👍
If you are coming to India..plan for a month or two...every region has its own food and recipes..and they are quite different. As someone living in West Bengal , I would highly recommend to come to Kolkata for authentic Bengali cuisine.
Guga here in India you can taste whole lot variations in food., For example in Eastern part of India is known for fishes., Southern part is known for Spices , In west (especially Gujarat) try out sweets and veggies
Considering that you like beef, I'd recommend going to southern India for local beef dishes other than that there are places like Hyderabad, Lucknow also known for their Biryanis. Ofc also try some stuff in Mumbai and Delhi, there is a huge variety of cuisine in these cities.
Hi Guga. Let me just give you a small suggestion. India is a vast and diverse country and so India’s culinary experience is also vast and diverse. It is said that every 50 Km, the language and food changes Every STATE will have their own unique flavours, cooking styles and ingredients. So for a start, I suggest visiting at least 6 states for your trip 1. Delhi - for the most variety of North Indian food (which is more familiar to the West) 2. Mumbai - melting pot of flavours, international and Maharashtrian 3. Goa - Konkani mixed with Portuguese 4. Kerala / Chennai - Best of South Indian curry styles with primarily coconut flavourings 5. Kolkata - Bengali food is a treat with heavy use of mustard seeds, oil and shallow fried techniques 6. Gujarat & Rajasthan - Vegetarian paradise. I can guarantee you can spend a week in each place here and not miss meat at all.
I tried this with a flat-iron cut a few years back trying to make a Japanese chocolate curry, it was the only way I seasoned my steaks for a few months.
We welcome you in India with warm heart you can visit Rajasthan Haidrabad Meghalaya Kashmir Arunachal Kerala these all places have their own unique cooking culture and foods❤
Vacuum is not required for Sous vide. Sous vide, also known as low-temperature, long-time cooking, is a method of cooking invented by the French chef Georges Pralus in 1974, in which food is placed in a plastic pouch or a glass jar and cooked in a water bath for longer than usual cooking times at a precisely regulated temperature
I never thought of using it on steak, I'll have to try that soon. I generally use it for chicken, or with chickpeas, tomato paste, and some kind of spicy chili pepper as a side dish.
I am a huge fan of you Mr. Guga. Loved it this video very much. If you want to eat beef in India, go to the state of Kerala which is also a very beautiful place. Try Malabar porota with beef roast. Indian food is so diverse and you will be amazed at the variety. (Beware of spice. 🙂) Not all parts of India eat beef. Mostly you will get is buffalo meet. Cow is considered as a sacred animal.
Okay, this is good. I have a big bottle of Garam Masala that I bought some time ago that I haven't been able to use at all. I will use it on my next sous vide steak.
better use a marination of strained thick yoghurt, a 2 to 3 spoons of red chili, turmeric, coriander seed, 1 tablespoon black pepper powder and with a dash of fresh lime juice and generous ginger and garlic paste. Let the meats rest for minimum of 6 hours and then try grilling or roasting it. Sprinkle the Garam masala in the end of cooking, latent heat for a few seconds would release the flavor.
if you love spices visit kerela where most of the spices are grown you will be able to shop for best quality spices and for the food visit north india Delhi has some excellent places to try real indian foods and every indian city has some special foods
Actually to unlock its full potential take a pan heat some oil and put it on low flame put the garam masala and maintain low flame. Cook the masala properly in oil and use it however you want.
I wonder if some spices like this would work best with a quick hot sear first, then season with garam masala, and finish an oven/etc. This way you could get a nice sear without needing to worry about burning the spice. No matter how you do it, it's going to be a compromise of course, but this could possibly improve it. Maybe even add the clarified butter instead of just the spice itself, letting that melt all over the steak while it's coming up to temp. Guess I have some experimenting today - thanks Guga! lol
yoo guga, you have to come to india and try our authentic dishes. we dont have limited dishes as every state has their own special dishes. Even many indians still have'nt tried half of the dishes of india. thats a lot of food ladies and gentlemen. You are hearty welcome to our country.
Guga you should visit every where in india.(I know its practically impossible but still).From east to west and from north to south. Every part of the nation has to offer something delicious which will make you fall in love. ❤❤❤ .love your videos very much

Who said? As a Bengali we use Garamond masala for cooking chicken and mutton
@@rishiganguly3569..i am also bengali but my mother use garam masala..amra to gorom mosla i kheye asechi Kolkata te
Are you even Indian....????
We cook meat with garam masala.
oh nice to know in my part we always add it at the end when the gravy or dal is boiling
You've no idea... I'm from Kerala.. and we cook chicken, beef with it
For making dry fry only we used this much spice, for just oil fry use chilly powder, salt, turmeric powder, ginger garlic paste, its enough for beef
I want you try garum next. The archetypical flavouring in ancient Roman cuisine. It's essentially a version of fish sauce
modern garum is just Worcestershire sauce and that works with meat really well
*Max Miller intensifies*
@@becausetrains hard tack aged steak!
Yes!!!! You made my video!!!! Love this stuff! Told ya that was some good spice for a steak.
I would love to see a head to head contest with this new style sous vide machine versus your traditional techniques. Especially on a few different cuts of meat.
Didn't look like it seared too well
Wouldn't please all sponsors, but surely one out there would dare it being done.
Big grey band and much less crust, I don't think it works anywhere near as well as his usual technique
@@cpmc5400 Gotta weigh that vs the convenience factor though, sure would be nice to not have to screw with a big tub of water and vacuum bags
@@RyTrapp0 This looks worse than just a normal reverse sear method though, and just takes up space otherwise.
please visit India, but please be cautious before you ask for a steak. unless it's chicken :D
Lots of love from india.
Guys you didn't have to taunt me so much with that yolk running slowly cut scene like that over and over 🤤
What do you call that side dish ??
Please let me I'll try once
In India, we make different masala mixes for different meats , fish and prawns . You should visit Hyderabad ( Telangana, India ) which is the Biryani capital of the world and find out. We are 98 % meat eaters in our state. 🍗 🐐🐟✌️😊
Well done guga... anything you cook with Garam Masala WILL taste good..
Come to kerela try idiyappam (rice noodle ) with beef curry
And malabar parotta (its like flaky bread) with that curry
You can get amazing Indian food all throughout India. I would recommend Amritsar or Delhi for various Chicken dishes especially the grilled/tikka dishes. Kolkata, Mumbai or Goa for sea food. Do visit South Indian states like Kerala or Tamil Nadu and try the Beef Parota or Vindaloo as beef is not available in most of the country. Looking forward to your video. Love from India.
omg can indians not come out as so desperate for attention in every video that has anything to do with indian food
in norway we have kinda something similar "piffkrydder" or sometimes just called "pomfritkrydder" but i don't feel it counts as an MSG substitute, as it's second ingredient is usally MSG. but it's really good on everything! i have it with ramen, stews, i've had it on fish, and i bet it tastes amazing on steak! i don't know the exact ingredients but it contains stuff like garlic powder, sometimes chillipowder, paprika, corriander, leek, that sort of thing. it's however probably more expensive than wagyu per kg...
Oh damn I haven’t had pomfrit krydder since I moved to the uk
A dream come true for us too . Waiting for guga to visit India and try the best foods here in India . ❤
P.s visit Mumbai, Hyderabad,Delhi ,chennai ,Kerala
South Indian dishes are chef kiss 😙 must try it guga . Angel might hate the Indian dishes since it includes varities of veggies 😅
Love it! Kudos!! In India, you'd eventually end up making a buffalo or mutton steak. Beef is illegal in most states other than the Northeastern and extreme Southern part of the country, and you could get by with a pork but it is still extremely hard to find one. So better get yourself acquainted with a buffalo/goat/sheep steak beforehand.
I wouldn't call this MSG. If you see Joshua Weissman's video, you would see garam masala actually makes EVERYTHING better!
yea doesn't make sense to call it MSG, it's a spice mix you can use on anything, can still add MSG to it to make it even better lol
He just calls everything MSG. It’s no big deal.
So it Makes Shit Good. Sounds like MSG to me
uncle roger@@phantomblack94
He's making things easier for people to understand keep in mind most people don't even know what msg stands for seriously if you live in a country that doesn't add msg to their home cooked food on a regular basis ask anyone what monosodium glutamate is and thay are likely to look at you completely lost. say msg and everyone knows what you're talking about that magic white powder that makes people's over cooked food slightly better
Hi Guga, I love your videos and have been watching for the longest time I can remember - to be honest I only watch your videos on YT these days. If you visit India, skip the bigger cities like Delhi and try to go to smaller towns for better service, friendlier people, better food etc. I would recommend smaller cities or towns in Punjab or Himachal in the North but I would definitely recommend visiting South India as their cuisine is amazing and very different from what is considered "Indian" abroad.
If you go to India, please take a chance to travel around. India is such a beautiful country with many unique and diverse cultures throughout. The food you will taste in Goa is completely different than the food you will taste in Mumbai, and it is worth it to experience the difference.
That looks delicious! You may want to visit Kerala in Southern India.
huge gray band from that piss poor searing. they must have paid Guga a ton to keep promoting that crapping gadget
Come to Kerala,Where you can try variety of beef dishes. You will definitely like Porotta(Flakybread)&Beef(Curry or Roast).You Should Also try Malabar Beef Biryani. It's yummy😋
Hi Guga, I'm Jay from UK, but my family is from Kolkata in India. You need to go Kolkata, my hometown man if you want to experience proper Indian food. I'm going back in Feb for Holiday, so maybe you can come over then. Love your episodes bro. ❤
Only a pinch of Garam masala is used at the end of cooking as a finishing spice.. coz it’s a very warming spice & should be used sparingly.. base spices are usually ground coriander and cumin along with a pinch of turmeric & chilli powder.
Stop calling everything MSG 🤦🏻♂️ HAIYAAA!
Every state in India has its own combo of main spices they use.
Paanch Phoron is used in Eastern India heavily on the Bengal Side, Southern India heavily uses a Mustard, Coconut and Peanut paste.
Visit to Tamilnadu , here the foods are incredible but if u want to eat different types of non veg u have to visit Delhi or Kerala and punjab❤❤❤
Vanakkam Bro love the simplicity of south Indian food. Sending love from Maharashtra.
@@tejasgangarde thank you brother
Hyderabad is a heaven for non vegetarian food. I like Kerala cuisine too.
U should come to Kolkata city, in the state of West Bengal, India. Food here angle would love it.
Nice that you liked Garam Masala on the steaks!
A few pointers on garam masala would be to:
-Try not cooking it too much as the flavours and aromas are mild and cooking it for longer periods/harder destroys some of those aroma and flavour compounds,
-It's a bit tedious but try grinding your own Garam Masala mix, rather than buying it pre-made(Or at the very least try to buy a Pakistani/Indian branded one). Making your own garam masala from scratch results in overall better flavour and aroma. You can also controll how much you add of what, so you could goo slighlty sweeter, spicier etc.
-I think the best application for a steak would be to season the steak with just salt and red chili powder, then making a compound ghee (ghee instead of butter) with garam masala like you did in the video, using a homemade garam masala mix. An extra plus would be to slightly toast the spices before grinding them into the garam masala powder, and maybe not going too fine with the powder.
Guga, please come to Delhi, Kolkata and Lucknow. These three cities are food heavens.
Ain’t no way he put Indian spices on a STEAK 😂😂
It’ll make the bland steak taste even better. You folks have no idea what flavor is.
@@TacticalEarProductionsfu
Calm down chutia. It's not that serious.@@mrgk1735
How do you think Indian Muslims and Christians cook beef??
@@khakchangdebbarma6231they don’t lol mostly it’s buffalo meat but some states like in northeast of india that has a tribal culture uses beef and in the state of Kerala due to foreign influences and degradation of culture they eat beef. Rest all of India doesn’t eat beef.
If you're visiting India, you should definitely come to Kolkata. It is one of the few cities in India where beef is legal. So, you'll be not missing out on your favorite thing. You should try out the local restaurants here.
The issue I have is that none of these are anything related to msg or a version of it. These are spice mixes and in a totally different category. He done this with a few different spices now lol.
This would moreso be the equivalent of Chinese 5 spice not their msg. The equivalent of msg for India doesn't actually exist.
The use of "This is the ________ MSG" when referring to something other than actual MSG is a stylistic device.
In the English language, this is known as a *metaphor*
You are welcome.
@@BatCaveOz hmmmm.
It's a fair point but there's no reason it can't be taken as this is the ___ version of msg. Which is how I understood it. In which case it wouldn't be a metaphor.
Tbh even if it is a metaphor, it's a failed one because the point stands. This an MSG have nothing in common. It's like me pointing toward a kangaroo and saying "this is the Australian pigeon".
It's a flawwed metaphor. Pigeons and kangaroos are nothing alike. I'm nit making an argument against the English anyways I'm making An argument at the flawwed comparison. And if you wanna call it a metaphor then flawwed metaphor.
You should Visit Kerala in India and have the Beef Dry Roast (Beef Fry). Its a flavour bomb!!
You should try oyster sauce on a steak... it's used a lot in Thai food
If you go to India you've got to visit the mountains to get that clean fresh air! Come out to Dehradun and I promise you won't be disappointed in the food or the views!
India is everything you can possibly get. North, south, northeastern ….. any state will have enough and more to keep you salivating. I live in south India and you will not be able to understand how we cook till you actually come. Hope to see you all visit my country soon !!
FInallyyy Finallyyy It is hereeee...... been waiting for this video for a while now. India I would recommend to go couple of places.
1. Delhi Chandni Chowk Best street food ever
2. lucknow to try all the best Non-veg dishes ever Tunde kabab Kabab paratha Biryani Nhiari nd what not.
3. Hydrabad only for its biryani its very famous
and huge huge disclaimer U wont find any beef in India Either goat or chicken. but you will have blast. I promise you that much.
Guga .. you HAVE to dehydrate a several different kinds of greens, grind it into a powder, use it as a spice rub and see if angle loves or hates it !
The biggest difference with Guga's preferred sear method with the flame thrower is that mild grey band. Looks like this new tool was starting to introduce it.
Next up try the thing that we all have on our steaks here: montreal steak spice, which is basically the same rub that goes on montreal smoked meat, our version of Pastrami... come to think of it, maybe also look into Montreal Smoked Meat too. Could even be worh a visit at some point.
Searing the steaks in that nonstick crap really brooke my heart Guga!
Its not MSG
Two other ingredients you should try: Asafetida (hing) and kala namak black salt.
I hear asafoetida can be really strong if you aren't used to the flavor
@@LaurentIpsum It's like a very pungent garlic-like taste. Very umami, slightly sulphuric.
Battle of the Control Steaks!!! Bag normal Sous Vide vs The Space Sous Vide vs Bag in a pot on the stove Sous Vide
Guga-san, please try Kurose no supaisu (JP: 黒瀬のスパイス), it's local spice from Kitakyushu of Japan. You can buy it online or visit Tanga market
4:15 was the time of classic Guga searing music
They didn’t lie about “mild sear”
Suggestion.
Hyderabad: Biryani
Kerala: Porota with choice of meat.
Mumbai: (Vegan)Vada Pav, Pav Bhaji & Tawa Pulav, Jini Dosa.
(NonVeg) Bade Miya popular items.
Kolhapur: Chicken Thali & Street snacks.
Delhi: Paratha varities, Chole & Bhature.
Punjab: Dhaba foods.
Kashmir: Try NonVeg.
One more thing, if you find a weeding going on anywhere in India, be a weeding crasher & try weeding food all items including sweets.👍
Guga, come to Goa and Kerala as its only place you will find and have beef in India
If you are coming to India..plan for a month or two...every region has its own food and recipes..and they are quite different. As someone living in West Bengal , I would highly recommend to come to Kolkata for authentic Bengali cuisine.
I really wish he tried a traditional indian marinade using yoghurt instead of compound butter. Its basically how you make tandoori chicken.
Guga here in India you can taste whole lot variations in food.,
For example in Eastern part of India is known for fishes., Southern part is known for Spices , In west (especially Gujarat) try out sweets and veggies
Australian MSG....Chicken salt.
Calcutta, Punjab, Kerala, Amritsar, Lucknow- should definitely be in your list of Indian cities to visit
omg the Oaxaca cheese egg tortilla creation - just get in my belly
The kid on the left really knows his food and has an amazing taste palette.
Considering that you like beef, I'd recommend going to southern India for local beef dishes other than that there are places like Hyderabad, Lucknow also known for their Biryanis. Ofc also try some stuff in Mumbai and Delhi, there is a huge variety of cuisine in these cities.
Hi Guga. Let me just give you a small suggestion. India is a vast and diverse country and so India’s culinary experience is also vast and diverse. It is said that every 50 Km, the language and food changes
Every STATE will have their own unique flavours, cooking styles and ingredients. So for a start, I suggest visiting at least 6 states for your trip
1. Delhi - for the most variety of North Indian food (which is more familiar to the West)
2. Mumbai - melting pot of flavours, international and Maharashtrian
3. Goa - Konkani mixed with Portuguese
4. Kerala / Chennai - Best of South Indian curry styles with primarily coconut flavourings
5. Kolkata - Bengali food is a treat with heavy use of mustard seeds, oil and shallow fried techniques
6. Gujarat & Rajasthan - Vegetarian paradise. I can guarantee you can spend a week in each place here and not miss meat at all.
I tried this with a flat-iron cut a few years back trying to make a Japanese chocolate curry, it was the only way I seasoned my steaks for a few months.
i was waiting for this over 3 years
Problem is that garam masala can vary by region in India. It literally means spice mix.
True but that is with all cultures and foods.
Try what you have or can get.
Thats very true ,north Indian side it becomes balanced and little sweet because of cumin ,South it is little spicy with extra chillies ,for
We welcome you in India with warm heart you can visit Rajasthan Haidrabad Meghalaya Kashmir Arunachal Kerala these all places have their own unique cooking culture and foods❤
Vacuum is not required for Sous vide.
Sous vide, also known as low-temperature, long-time cooking, is a method of cooking invented by the French chef Georges Pralus in 1974, in which food is placed in a plastic pouch or a glass jar and cooked in a water bath for longer than usual cooking times at a precisely regulated temperature
I never thought of using it on steak, I'll have to try that soon. I generally use it for chicken, or with chickpeas, tomato paste, and some kind of spicy chili pepper as a side dish.
I am a huge fan of you Mr. Guga. Loved it this video very much.
If you want to eat beef in India, go to the state of Kerala which is also a very beautiful place. Try Malabar porota with beef roast.
Indian food is so diverse and you will be amazed at the variety. (Beware of spice. 🙂)
Not all parts of India eat beef. Mostly you will get is buffalo meet. Cow is considered as a sacred animal.
Okay, this is good. I have a big bottle of Garam Masala that I bought some time ago that I haven't been able to use at all. I will use it on my next sous vide steak.
better use a marination of strained thick yoghurt, a 2 to 3 spoons of red chili, turmeric, coriander seed, 1 tablespoon black pepper powder and with a dash of fresh lime juice and generous ginger and garlic paste.
Let the meats rest for minimum of 6 hours and then try grilling or roasting it.
Sprinkle the Garam masala in the end of cooking, latent heat for a few seconds would release the flavor.
That looks amazing, Guga! Wow!
Leo is the man watching his intelligence on steaks grow on this channel has been an absolute pleasure the dynamic trio right here !
if you love spices visit kerela where most of the spices are grown you will be able to shop for best quality spices and for the food visit north india Delhi has some excellent places to try real indian foods and every indian city has some special foods
Actually to unlock its full potential take a pan heat some oil and put it on low flame put the garam masala and maintain low flame. Cook the masala properly in oil and use it however you want.
I wonder if some spices like this would work best with a quick hot sear first, then season with garam masala, and finish an oven/etc. This way you could get a nice sear without needing to worry about burning the spice. No matter how you do it, it's going to be a compromise of course, but this could possibly improve it. Maybe even add the clarified butter instead of just the spice itself, letting that melt all over the steak while it's coming up to temp. Guess I have some experimenting today - thanks Guga! lol
yoo guga, you have to come to india and try our authentic dishes. we dont have limited dishes as every state has their own special dishes. Even many indians still have'nt tried half of the dishes of india. thats a lot of food ladies and gentlemen. You are hearty welcome to our country.
Guga you should visit every where in india.(I know its practically impossible but still).From east to west and from north to south.
Every part of the nation has to offer something delicious which will make you fall in love.
❤❤❤ .love your videos very much
Guga, you should cook different types of stake with biryani spices as an experiment
You should try Merkén from Chile 🇨🇱
The machine said mild sear but I think they meant to say mid sear. Its a neat idea, but traditional water bath immersion circulators are more convenient for my workflow.
