I did forget, but now I'm subbed :D
@@broogul7335 😂 thank you!
As for dough, I like the taste of raised flour dough, but I am also diabetic, and am avoiding pizza until someone invents a really great tasting low carb crust.
As for toppings I would love for you to try ground pork (not sausage) and mushroom. The ground pork seems to elevate the flavor of the sauce, giving the sauce the spotlight.
I like the grated cheese, and I like what he said about not hiding the toppings if you can help it, so I will always reduce the cheese enough to let the sauce shine through, even when cooked. It's just my perspective.
@@williamschubert7063 It's not at all the same, but you can get a *lot* of the same toppings I crave from pizza with a cauliflower base. It doesn't have to be a 'processed' cauliflower base to look completely like a pizza - it can just be literally boiled and mashed cauliflower. We have that from time to time here, not because of any health reasons but because it's its own dish and kind of a cool way to make pizza-but-not-pizza.
@@ChefJamesMakinson Aware of how busy you are, could I still ask for some advice? Is there a good mid-range (price-wise) frying pan and/ or sautee pan you could recommend?
Reviews 'out there' are fairly inconsistent, and there are many reviews which are sponsored. And not everyone has £300-400 to spend on a Hestan.
Further details: I do a lot of meats in sauces (mainly chicken and beef), for which the deep sautee pan seems more appropriate. However. I 'dry-fry' the bits of meat as an early step (after they sit in a marinade for a few hours), so a good non-stick, flat-surface pan is what I need for that step. Alas, I am struggling to find one that could last, even though I try to be very careful in my maintenance routine. I tried the Circulon ones, and while good as sautee pans, they do start to stick after a while, especially if the meat is marinaded with spices and chilli flakes; they are not flat-surface, and thus difficult to de-glaze. I tried the Tefal, their so-called 'pro' line, and that worked reasonably well for a while, but again, didn't last.
While not the traditional method, he explained the reasonings why behind it, and he held great respect to the ingredients. He knew the history, respected the culture, but created it for a specific audience. From what I recall, ovens aren’t very common in many Indian households, so this is perfect.
Yes, you are right
Indian cuisine normally don't require a oven.
You would be amazed to know that he actually started off as an Italian chef too professionally. So it must be close to him when it comes to knowledge and respect for the cuisine. I'm the same in that regard I like to believe.
@@gautamdash193 the coal ovens which were traditionally part of Indian households were largely removed due to pollution concerns. Now they are largely replaced with gas stoves.
south asia has tandoor a version of oven ,its financially inaccessible to average south asian
As a chef from Naples.... this is very traditional Pizza... the dough is different and it's not baked... but the core of pizza is that it's a very humble and simple dish that's for everyone... This Pizza perfectly represents that
I will definitely try that pizza at home this weekend
Thank you for commenting!
as a pizza lover from India, that's really nice and sweet to hear! people usually gate quite mean about these things😂
JoJo
Did you try at home? how did it turn out please comment
Yeah, the dough is not baked but it doesn't have to be :) I have heard you have fried dough pizza in Napoli that i have not tried yet, but next year i am going on a food tour in Italy so i will definitely try it
I don't speak the language, but the chef's personality really shines through regardless and he seems like a super likable guy. I should check out his other stuff. Wouldn't be the first time I've watched a cooking show in a language I'm not fluent in, and at least this one has subtitles!
I try to put subtitles as it helps a lot!
This chef is one of the judges on Masterchef India.
Yes he is most lovable chef in india ❤
@@ChefJamesMakinsonhow do you put the subtitles tho?
@@rasmim231 I will give that title to Vikas Khanna though😊
The comments are absolutely beautiful! Its amazing how the italian chefs are also appreciating the recipe and the comments are filled with constructive ideas. No negativity and bad things.. really appreciate the good appreciation. Good work chef James and i have nothing to say for chef ranveer as he knows he's loved by everyone in India! Cheers ♥️
Thank you so much! :) I really like Chef Ranveer!
As an Italian I see nothing wrong with this recipe. Although nobody can reproduce a traditional pizzeria's pizza at home, we do make some sort of pizza at home. Some of us put the time to attempt to get as close as they can to the real thing, but others do cut corners to save time. It's fine, as long as it tastes good.
I agree
As an Indian, I can totally relate to the pan pizza as oven is quite uncommon in the Indian kitchens. I have tried this recipe, turned out to be a good one.
I always thought that those videos about Italians getting mad over how people from different cultures/ countries make their dishes are just funny comedy videos but some people are taking them seriously.
One additional piece of context
1. The video was released during the Covid lockdown, and Chef Ranveer was trying to teach a non-nuanced audience on how to make Indian styled dominos pizzas at home
2. The ingredients he used here were all local
- no san marzano (hence the tomato concasse was balanced with vinegar),
- wine is a no-no in Indian households (hence avoided),
- no meat (and yeast!!) for ~45% of Indian population that is vegetarian (not vegan)
- curd was to balance the savoriness provided by fermentation without yeast
Hope this recipe
Thank you!
You are right about most but i don't think wine is a no-no in every indian household
@@siddharthchoudhury2265 It is
@@RohitYadav-yd5lb okay so Indians don't drink according to you. Even in Gujarat people pay huge amounts for alcohol.
@@siddharthchoudhury2265 it is in a lot of houses. You would get kicked out for alcohol
I’m Italian, from Naples and I can tell you we do make pizza in pans occasionally. It comes decent… nothing to say. Also his toppings are perhaps not traditional, but they seem good: nothing revolting like pineapple or chicken… can’t say anything bad really, it’s a fast recipe and for its premises it’s good enough 😊
I agree :)
These ingredients themselves are more to suit the Indian Palette. Indians don't like when simple 3 ingredient recipes. It HAS to be loaded with vegetables and it has to be spicy. Not surprising that vegetable pizzas or other loaded pizzas are much more famous in India than simple margarita pizzas.
@@palaache India is paradise for vegetarians
vegetables on pizza are far more delicious than chicken. I love vegetable pizza more than chicken or any non-veg pizza
That's a sweet comment! and Yes, the toppings here are based on what you'll find in an Indian Kitchen usually / easily and adapted to an Indian palette, so yeah they'll naturally be a little different from Italian ones but i can assure you they taste AMAZING!
This indian chef is super legit. I still need to try his butter chicken recipe!
Do try! I also learn from him...
Just for context, 95% homes in India dont have ovens. So this is specifically targeted for those folks.
Really?! 😲
@@ChefJamesMakinson yes. We do have rice cookers though.
@@k14check Uncle Roger would say “Fuiyoh!” Rice cooker more important than oven 😂
95% is a stretch but yeah a large majority
@@ChefJamesMakinson indeed
I'm not usually a fan of reaction videos, but yours seems genuine without any fake reactions or trying to give unnecessary drama.
Thank you I try!
@@ChefJamesMakinson love your reaction and way you were explaining was very helpful.. Thank you chef
I like that chef James' videos are less of a react and more a of comment to others'. Civil and educational, so rare.
I really appreciate the welcoming attitude of Chef James, especially when he is supporting the Indian twist in the recipe, and when he is enjoying the insights of pizza history with in between mini laugh is sooo cute❤
Thank you!
This was the first recipe I ever made during the lockdown! That is how I fell in love with cooking ❤ I absolutely love Chef Ranveer's videos because 1) he's a great teacher, breaks down the steps and explains the 'why' behind every step making cooking less intimidating for beginners
2) he incorporates the history of the dish while cooking which is very interesting
3) I'm indian 😂 we adore this guy so much
Whilst not a traditional pizza, I think he did a magnificent job for his target audience given the constraints.
Agreed!
I agree, very nice work.😋
He is a Master Chef but the audience is not then why to complicate a recipe.
@@palash_mandal Yes chef always try to give simple recipes, he don't like to complicate them.
I think I've seen you somewhere before. On a video about Frozen Indian Food?
What an incredible guy, he keeps cooing simple and enjoyable without compromising quality. Incredible commentary and insights as usual too!
Glad you enjoyed it!
So glad to see Ranveer not getting bashed for making this recipe. I feel it kinda makes pizza accessible to all, as mostly anyone can follow the recipe and gather the ingredients quite easily around the globe.. and we love our chef Ranveer for making global cuisine accessible to us by respectfully simplifying them 😄
If u see from italian perspective this is not a pizza but basically a roti or a chapati topped up with vegetables and cheese which is slightly shallow fried or roasted u may say specifically we indians dnt know exactly what pizza is so we eat what suits our palate
You looking out the window to make sure there aren't any angry french while you talked about crème brûlée was very funny 😂
Hahaha 😂
There is actually an Indian owned pizza place in my town that puts more traditionally Indian toppings on the pizza. (The tikka paneer pizza is my favorite!) Tasty stuff.
name?
@@aneeshgore Pizzawala’s in Canton, Michigan USA
@@MorrigaMay cool thanks
I've also seen Indian pizzerias in the San Francisco bay area and in a town near Salt Lake City.
it is not traditional indian pizza. :D Indian pizza is one made with pre baked pita type bread and cooked on tawa with mixture of veggies and sauce. pizza with paneer tikka is fusion. normally paneer tikka pizza is not widely seen in india. i have only seen it in dominos.
I swear, I could listen to Chef Ranveer's voice all day. My favourite Pizza is made by "Pizzeria Brunda" in Brindisi in Italy. Very basic ingredients cooked simply but OMG! Nice video as always 🙂
I just looked them up, the pizzas look pretty good!
Ranveer Brar is India's top most chef.....he is extremely talented and worked on many famous TV reality shows....
Im from India and my old boss was from Italy..and he used to eat pizza everyday and i always wondered how does he eat pizza daily because i used to eat pizza from american outlets like pizza hut and it was always so heavy due to all that cheese and thick crust..then he took me to an authentic pizza spot and it was fantastic.. it was light and easy on the stomach..not too much cheese and the bread was so easy on your stomach.. it was beautiful..
There is a big difference!
@@ChefJamesMakinson yess
Can you please suggest some good authentic pizza spots in india..
@@madhurthakkar4440 Bangalore: Toscano and Brikoven.. for delivery see La Pinoz
Chef Ranveer is a gem 👌
We love his humbleness and knowledge.
Ranveer is by far my most favourite chef on the internet, primarily because I learnt cooking from his videos & generally the ingredients he uses are readily available at my locality, & till date none, and I repeat not a single time his recipes failed me (which has happened with others' recipes many times).
Good to know 😊
Same bruh
Chef we dont measure in India, plus he has many years of experience in the kitchen. Also, curd, baking powder and baking soda are used to make tandoori naan bread in India. We dont add yeast in it, hence an instant rise. And I love my pizza with meat.
Thank you for the info!
@@ChefJamesMakinson I was looking for a comment like this! Depending on where you are, and what you're making, I've seen curd, yogurt, sour cream, buttermilk...basically anything that has a slight acidity to it to make it a quick rise. For 30min dinner rolls I've even seen water with a 1/2 tsp of vinegar... Never seen it, but I'd bet if you make your own mozzarella you could even use a bit of the leftover whey!
we do measure ingredients, obviously not in indian food, but when it comes to baking, measuring becomes a necessity, or else, everything will go wrong. He did not do it cuz he has experience of more than 20 years so yeah.
I think this being a home cook thing is something even italians wouldn't be offended, Chef Ranveer is very respectful and cool
Honestly, even if it's not traditional, I much prefer his work to some of the monstrupcities people make at times. He captured the Mediterranean vibe imo
He is making this for many Indian homes who don't have oven and have to make special food instantly for guests when they come or kids after school. So if no time for 6 hrs yeast rise, no oven, and want a bit healthy so wheat flour a bit.. he made this pizza who all household in India can make with regular ingredients from Indian kitchen
Except for a few artisanal places, you don't get traditional Italian pizza in India. For Indians, pizza is American, primarily from chain restaurants such as pizza hut or dominos. The pizza showed by Chef Ranveer is similar to that style.
Very interesting! we have dominos here too but I don't think they are as busy as back home.
@@ChefJamesMakinson Dominos closed in Italy haha
@@GNMbg😂 I don't see how they could survive there!
@@ChefJamesMakinson In India, there are some pizzerias serving pizzas which are much better than Domino's. But there are way too many which are worse than Domino's. Which makes Domino's a reliable option.
no, you can get in expensive places like i am from tier 2 city still we have authentic pizza places but they cost alot so i make it my own i learned making everything from scratch just so i can have it comparably in less price lol
Hi Chef James. Thanks for the great video. My family is Italian though I was born in Australia. Chef Ranveer did an excellent job of making a quick and simple pizza that anyone can make at home. I believe getting bogged down in technicalities may be a big reason many people don't try this at home. Perhaps people think recipes are way more difficult than they need to be. I know there is a current trend to bag Jamie Oliver. However respect has to be paid to the fact that Jamie has done exactly this, he has simplified a lot of complicated dishes so that a lot of not-very-good home cooks will give the recipe a try. He is about getting the average home cook to try and expand their limited recipe base, and I think he has done very well. As has done Chef Ranveer in this video. Thank you Chef James. Please keep your great videos coming. I really enjoy watching your content.
Thank you very much!
I oh so absolutely agree with you man. If I am able to bring more people in the kitchen that is the more important thing here. Food is something that becomes more personal to you the more you cook it and especially if you're cooking for yourself and the people you love and care about. We shouldn't let methods and ingredients and tradition holding us back in what we make and how we make it. While yes the traditional and the original should always be there and respected, good food wether traditional or not is something to always be respected and loved.
While I don't really have anything against Jamie. Many of his 'make quick' recipes ( I have the butter chicken in mind) are not really good in taste after you make it.
Jamie didn't do exactly same he puts chilli jam mango jam in fried rice and butter chicken. That neither simplifying nor making easy. Infact it's messing with classic dishes
Your Analogy of the two chefs is understood but the dishes they created are poles apart.
I'm from India, and chef Ranveer is one of the most popular chefs here. He is supremely talented and passionate about the food he makes and the history and culture behind it. Do check out more of his Indian recipes, that is his speciality. I love that he gives so much importance to the history, evolution and cultural relevance behind, the simplest of dishes (like a dal or aloo subzi).
I like the "real" pizza as much as anyone else, but this type of pizza is something I ate most of my childhood. My mom would make it after coming back from work, and I loved it with all my heart. As for favourite toppings, I like a variety of pizzas, but I prefer the ones with fewer toppings to really let the flavour shine. And yes, tomato sauce, cheese, ham and pineapple make for a perfectly legitimate tasty pizza.
Pineapple?
Don't tell this preference to an Italian. It's abusive to their soul😅
nooooo pineapple 😭
🤢 🤮 Please get therapy at an Italian clinic
@@sumbajumba3037 Having pineapple or not is one's preference, infact it goes to any ingredient used in the dish. Not everyone likes Fish, Oysters or cheese for instance. Most find it stinky and avoid it at all cost because it makes them puke. Does that mean everyone should shame them for eating stinky food and call them names? Imagine calling someone animal for eating stinky cheese. Let people enjoy what their tongue craves for.
One more reason for using baking soda & powder is most indian households don't generally have instant yeast in the pantry(now a days we do).. but baking soda is readily available since we use it in many Indian dishes like Dhokla, dosa, bhajiya etc
I love how casual Chef Ranveer is about just throwing stuff together to make something so amazing; truly a master! While my Italian grandma would probably smack me with a wooden spoon if I ever made pizza without yeast (my great-grandparents were from Napoli and Monopoli), as a way to get it done in under a half hour from raw ingredients, Chef Ranveer did it right, in my opinion. I really like that he didn't just add baking powder, but also baking soda to get the right pH balance and maybe help along the browning of the bottom crust.
Personally, I've had so many kinds of pizza that I can see the charm of many (though I don't personally like pineapple on it...) It's a canvas you can paint with whatever flavors you want. When I make it myself, I tend to go relatively simple, with one or two vegetables (often onions and peppers) and some form of salted meat like pepperoni or ham (the salt goes well with the tomato sauce), and because I really like the yeasty olive oil flavor, I technically use a focaccia dough (which is similar to pizza dough, but not quite the same). I'm also a fan of proper margherita pizza, New York style pizza either cheese or pepperoni, and a lot of the specialty flavor combos you can get in the US, like buffalo chicken or broccoli and aioli. One of my favorites was actually a BLT pizza this one shop near an old job made, that was basically a salad with bacon bits on a pizza crust.
He added curd, baking soda etc to cook on pan coz most middle class Indian homes won't have oven..so he is teaching how to make on gas. And when in hurry eg, guest come etc u dnt have time for yeast to rise. He sed use this method and make instantly
Nice essay
to people outside india this is the closest to traditional pizza we eat, we eat some mad variations of pizza
Paneer makhani pizza 😂
@@Kathakathan11Indian pizza is the bomb.. we had a chain in Seattle that made those Indo-Italian pizzas

Mix veg pizza 😂😂 i goona try sag pizza some day😮
I just love Ranveer Brar cooking because he talks as he cooks and also gives lots of historical information and tips..which indeed makes cooking fun instead of boring stuff that we do daily as a routine
In India we dont use measuring cups or spoons, its all in the head. Also we dont like processed and canned food that is why he made the sauce. He is very funny, its punch lines with cooking will always make u laugh.
That is not true, In India measuring is standard in food recipes. Ranveer Brar put recipes in the description with measures. And there is lots of processed food in India.
@@revatiy when did i say we dont have processed food in India? Is it not obvious that recipes will have measurements? What is your point? Go read my comment again.
Chef Ranveer often simplifies the recipes for easier grasp and reduce variables. Chef Sanjot Keer from channel "Your Food Lab" tries to keep the recipe close to original/traditional and gives better perspective of measurements and timings.
Both do great cooking though.
Thanks for the tips!
@@ChefJamesMakinsonChef Sanjyot is awesome too. He is younger than me so whenever I watch him, I feel like I'm watching a beloved nephew who is a much better cook than me and is therefore my guru. Pls react to one of his vids Chef James
This style of pizza goes back to my childhood. This was before the big Pizza chains became popular (pre 1992). Also known as Udpi pizza as it was common in South Indian Udpi resturants. They used to use a readymade pizza base, it was processed cheese instead of Mozzarella, it was mainly vegetarian and the sauce was ketchup instead of marinara.
Are you mentioning udupi here 🤔
@@ajithkumar-tn9if yes he is! just a spelling mistake. maybe because that's how they pronounce in their language
I think this looked really good. Working within the constraints he set for himself, I think Chef Ranveer created a really beautiful dish, and I'm not Italian, but I would easily call it pizza.
As a person.... Ranvir Brar is very down to earth... He is inspiration for all indian.. love from india
Well I had the opportunity to try out many styles of pizza here in Vancouver. I’m not sure outside of Vancouver but Chef Ranveer made a what I like to call a Indian style pizza minus the oven portion as the tomato sauce is more spiced up. There are quite a few places like that here in Vancouver. Personally I like all kinds of pizza and it’s more of a mood what I feel like eating.
Tomato sauce based pizzas are the norm of course but in America it's quite popular to use other sauces for the base from pesto to barbecue and in my opinion Barbecue Chicken pizza is perhaps my all time favorite.
places do here too
tawa pizzas are fantastic, a hack that I did recently was to use a naan bread instead of dough
Its not naan bread.. Its just naan.. Naan literally means a type of bread in india... We hv naan roti kulcha paratha bhakri. All bread but made differently.. Naan and kulcha made frm all purpose flour whr as roti is made frm wheat/corn/millet.

Thank you!
I do love chef brar's videos (I am an avid watcher too) and I've tried making few of his recipes , I do feel everything he says and does coalesces together phenomenally to creat an amazing dish is just that I am not in the position to call my self a cook since i always screw up in salting or other grounded spices lol ..
And i always do love ur takes on all the dishes you review ... No biases, no derogatory comments and simple and uplifting instructions.
Thank you! His recipes do look very easy to follow and delicious!
@@ChefJamesMakinson He is a judge in MasterChef India.
I use to work at an tapas and pizza restaurant where im at in Australia for roughly 3/4 years, there's a pizza that is my absolute favourite although not traditional by any means has; spinach purée as the base, parmesan cheese (binder), boiled broccoli pieces, caramelised onion, anchovies, asiago cheese, pine nuts, and chilli. Oh and if you're feeling a little bit cheeky, I sometimes crush some fried kale ontop aswell :)
He is one of the best internet chef . Even if you don't understand the language you can easily match his vibe with just subtitles .
yes you can!
I am a Kashmiri and my favourite veg dish is Dum Aaloo which takes 2 hours to prepare. Chef Ranveer did a 30min hack recepie of it. My mom hates it but I love it. It does 95% of the job and saves so much time...
I wish we had him over here! we need more chefs like him! :)
I feel like I can appreciate the way he made his video, making it in a very unique way to try to encourage ppl they dont need any sort of ovens or get it extremely hot (in this economy?) and pretty easily.
I feel like a fiend, but buffalo chicken pizza is rly nice, since I don't get it very often
it is a good recipe if you don't have the means to use an oven and if you want to save some money!
Chef Ranveer Brar always explains why he's adding a particular ingredient and how it's nature changes when cooked or boiled or steamed etc. He's an underrated chef
Chef Ranveer Brar is among the most celebrated, amazing and loved chef in India. I don’t think there is even a single video on youtube posted by him that I haven’t watched. I have also watched every single masterchef’s episode in which he was one of the judge. This man can do no wrong and even if he does, it will be an invention rather than a mistake. He is very respectful towards all cultures and cuisine, always tells the backstory. Being an Indian, more than 70% of the knowledge I have about the importance of history, culture and tradition of Indian food is because of the efforts and persistence of this man who does not only respects the individual ingredients but food in its entirety. BEST CHEF EVER
Wow! How nicely you have reviewed the entire video. No offense, no drama. Simply understanding our favorite chef and explaining Politely to his audience! The best reaction video
Thank you so much 🙂
I like Chef Ranveer's style for a quick oven free pizza. If I make my own I like to keep it simple with not too much cheese, tomato, mushroom, and some red onion. I use my own napolitana sauce and homemade dough . (I'm not in Italy nor an Italian so have no doubt its not traditional but I enjoy it).
BTW - Pineapple on Pizza is evil.
This was interesting, I might give it a try. :) My favourite type is thick crust with either tomato base - ham/pepperoni - corn or sourcream - crispy bacon - red onion (not precooked) and I ususally use a modearte amount of trappista cheese.
In Catalonia we have also a "pizza" (coques, the sweet one is also very similar to the galette) the main differenece is that we don't use cheese. I make one with cod fish and garlic mousseline which is amazing :)
Chef Ranveer's pizza still looks good. Pizza has really evolved around the world for a long time. I love all kinds of flatbreads, and let's not forget focaccia. What do you think Chef James? 🙂
I agree! it has evolved!
Gotta be honest, I love when some of my pizza slices have the dough bubbles
Indian homes don't really have ovens, our cuisine doesn't need it. It's not like we can't buy it, although that's true for a large number of households, but we just don't need it. This sort of recipes are thus, quite exceptionally helpful, not traditional but still has the core.
it makes sense
Loved how you add your points with pics and videos in between it helps us to reach different places at once .
Glad it was helpful!
I most enjoy your knowledge of the history and culture of cuisine. Gracias!
Another great video. Your commentary adds so much to the original video!
You and Chef Ranvir taught me so much about pizza that I didn't know before
And I love all pizza equally (yes, even pineapple on pizza). Yes, I'll show myself out 😂😂😂😂
I'm glad to see that the channel is growing and that you are getting sponsors! You deserve all the recognition you are getting and then some! 🤗
Thank you!!
The long awaited video from Chef James reviewing Chef Ranveer’s making a western recipe is here!
I will make more! :)
I was reading the comments, and I have to say, you have got a good audience. They get who the targetted audience is because believe me, he knows what he is doing😊.
He recently made a fried rice recipe. Some things might trigger UNCLE, but it looks good😅.
I appreciate that! thank you!
I tried Italian pizza there, it was nice but I also tried Chicago pizza or new york style and while I like them it's so hard to forget your roots!. As an Argentinian I'm just used & love the ones we do here 😁
aaah, so German pizza it is.
My experience with pizza is that sauce and cheese often drown out subtle notes, so if you really want nice toppings on a pizza, you have to go bold - the salt of pepperoni, sausage spices, peppers, yes - pineapple, salmon, anything that really has a flavour that drags it out of meaty "comfort" food.
Amazing audience you have got Chef James, they're all so bright and cheery. I must say that is because of your simplicity, and also huge respect for respect this recipe. Your videos are amazing 🙌
That's very nice of you to say! Thank you! :)
I'll go for regina everyday, my dad and best friend prefer calzone which is close for ingredients. Very nice and heart-warming video with tons of small anecdotes and history, and also cooking facts as usual chef.
its not just about his recipes, but he is such a nice guy that he doesn't forget to add those small things, which other experinced person overlook to tell. I have been watching his videos for aome time, he always tell and explain little things about cooking, ingredients, etc which makes difference while cooking. when he cooks he teaches it like a really amazing teacher...
This is the kind of reaction I look for in the videos. It includes watching the video, but also providing your advices/explanation on the side so the audience is not lost in the recipe only !
I appreciate that! :)
I really admire Chef Ranveer and like his vegetarian recipes. Its fun watching him cook and haven’t seen many Indian chefs making fun filled cooking videos.
I really liked the concasse pun made by Ranveer.
For those who didn't understand - each time he said he said concasse he put a bit of gap Or stressed the word in a way that made it sound like two hindi words kaun (who) and kaise (how) . It was just a fun element that I really liked.
As someone has already pointed out, we don’t have convection ovens at home in India. Because majority of Indian dishes do not require an oven so we really don’t invest in one. When we want to eat something made in tandoor, we got out lol
Also please note that many vegetarians in India, especially in the part where Chef Ranveer lives (Mumbai), do not eat mushroom or yeast at home. Therefore we use yogurt and baking soda for the fermentation and rise. Also a pizza dough is very similar to a naan and we use yogurt to ferment the dough in naan.
I have tried out many dishes made by Chef Ranveer.
He is very humble and explains the history of dish/ingredients really well, that makes it even more interesting to cook!
Looks good to me, I definitely wouldn't turn that down :) I really enjoy the diavola style pizza, gives it a nice kick. Incidentally, I quite enjoy pineapple on a pizza as long as it's combined with some spice and saltiness so chilis and cured meat or chili beef I find to be good combos.
you easily could have roasted him for not making it a traditional type pizza but you carefully explained that its just a quick and easy type of pizza and not really meant to be a traditional type , i respect you for that
Thank you!
@@ChefJamesMakinson no problem sir , gotta respect fellow chefs
One kind human can bring thousands of foodies from across the globe together at one place, Thank you Chef James.
Ranvir is my fav chef after watching his videos i started taking cooking seriously and stated enjoying making the food for others
very nice!
I love black olives on pizza, and also pineapple can be okay but must be paired with either mushrooms or ham, IDK why but they do compliment each other.
We really appreciate and do our homework as Ranveer teaches...believe me he is brilliant and his recipes work successfully in normal Indian kitchens❤ love you chef Ranveer...❤
I appreciate when you point out production/editing aspects of the videos. Interesting to peak behind the curtain a bit =)
I just love how calm and entertaining both videos are. It was fun to watch. I am a big fan of vegetable pizza
Sometimes when I'm in rush I do enjoy a slice of pizza with pineapple and ham. It is not my go to pizza, but I do enjoy it once in a while. In general I prefer Neapolitan style pizza. The cheese itself is not the most important to me, I also like my pizza without it, with olives and anchovies for instance. Probably my favorite topping would be artichoke, but that's because I simply love artichokes
He is a person with passionate, respect to the ingredients
and
more respect for COOKING..
that make others to understand every thing in easy and simple with step by step..
Yes I can see that, this is why I like chef Ranveer so much!
this is more than what you get in most of the pizza stores in India .... this is perfectly done for Indian audience
One can watch Ranveer Brar's videos even when they have no intention to cook...his videos are a therapy. 😊
And the way he tells the whole story about the cuisine Or ingredients, shows his passion.
Chef Ranveer Brar is called as Food Scientist by all viewers if you see majority of the comments on his videos. He explains history of each and every ingredient of the recipe . Because of him, we get so much information about food from different parts of the world which we have not heard of . He is one of the best Indian chef who always inspires us to cook as well. Thanks Chef James Makinson for making a reaction video of Chef Ranveer Brar, Subscribed to your channel..Love from India
Chef Ranveer does a really good job and I enjoy his videos a lot! I wish he was over here! haha Thank you!! :)
I like the Indian style paneer tandoori pizza. And that was my first pizza I made using slow proofed dough. It was so delicious!
This actually turned out much better than I thought it would... It looked really good...
He was my younger days crush.. first time I saw him in tv and it was my first seeing a man cooking... His way of explaining n expression foods and cooking has made him known in every homes in North India..
My three favourite pizzas since I can't restrict myself to just one:
1: Spicy salami, potato (squashed chunky pieces or mandolin thin) and olive oil
2: Mushroom, white sauce, pine nuts and sesame/truffle oil
3: Pepperoni
He is very popular chef in India and even abroad. He had restaurants in US and Canada. He's one of the judges on Master Chef India right now. He's basically a Chef , Historian and offcourse a Storyteller in one package. 🫡
The more simple the better... A pizza in my humble opinion is about the dough and not the toppings. They are just there to compliment it.
I love a good thin crust (made in wood-burning oven) topped with pepperoni-but my favorite go-to is a simple cheese pizza topped with anchovies! ❤
My favorite Pizza is Sucuk-Pizza... I absolutely love the slight sourness of the sucuk together with arugula, onions and feta cheese. The ingredients compliment each other very well...
I have my Basics of IT exam tomorrow and I'm watching this review 😂
😂
What I liked about the two chefs, is the respect they had for each other, the respect for the dish, the respect for the culture and knowledge on history of the dishes ❤😂❤
Good on you for being appreciative and not judgmental, James. Subbed.
I appreciate that!
Ranveer is my fav, been watching him for years
And love the food facts he tells between his cooking....just a great Inspiration for any food lover
I can't quite pick a favorite, but a nice pizza margherita or something similar with prosciutto on top. I like the salty, slightly crispy prosciutto contrasted with the soft, chewy base. I think what I appreciate most about this recipe is the use of fresh ingredients, or at least minimally processed ingredients. Even if it isn't traditional, the fact the ingredients are quality, and make sense (mostly, I'm confused about the vinegar), makes me appreciate his style of cooking. Especially within the context of let's say college students without much time or space, where it would be fashionable to craft some "hack" recipe using extremely processed ingredients.
it can be difficult!
Looks good to me and I’m italian! I would change the dough slightly to make it less crunchy, but i’m sure it tastes good 😊
great to hear! :)
I like using different cheeses, mozzarella for the stringiness, cheddar or parmesan for taste.
My favourite toppings are salami of some kind, red Bell pepper and basil. This is what I mostly go for, but pizza allows for so many variations. Kebab meat with white sauce and fefferoni, beef filet with bearnaise and mushrooms or perhaps shrimp and garlic?
I had "pizza calabrese" in Switzerland few years ago that I couldn't find anywhere here in India. I practically lived on that pizza, it was so good! I don't remember if it had pepperoni or spicy salami or what, but god it was amazing.
