I've traveled in India for over 7 months.... from Nagaland to Rajasthan.... Varanasi ..Hampi...and a hundred towns in between. Very rarely ate in a proper restaurant. Ate street food everyday and never got sick once. I love India !
@@StarPulse737 Barefoot is more hygienic than wearing shoes with outside dust particles stuck beneath it, in india its common practice to take out your shoes before entering places which you shouldn't dirty, be it others house, temples, etc One more thing, Japan also does the same , but why no one cries about it? Maybe because of skin color and racism stereotypes??
@@SantyandCo thank you . But just fyi every Hindu temple or Sikh gurudwara gives free food anywhere in the world and anyone irrespective of religion can come and eat there even in the west . It’s prolly better to donate near where you live by searching for temples or gurudwara near me and donate there . Cos in India there is no shortage of donation from corporations and they are able to easily fund it. But thanks nevertheless
only two cents and than you have America just getting pricier and pricier for corporate greed/inflation. This was really heartwarming. I love getting to see Sonny just have fun and be able to shine light on stuff like this.
@@Ryosuke-12 don't act as if trump isn't bad himself. Genuinely as an outsider I am scared for the global well being of our planet due to his want for oil. Drilling Alaska and pulling out of the Paris climate agreement means he is up to no good. I don't support Biden, Kamala and all but that doesn't mean Trump is great. Trump is horrible turning the US into a capitalist farm, going behind oil at the expense of our already dreaded earth.
This is how you make the world a better place! One act of kindness at a time. His humility is what strikes me, he didnt need to line up for the food, but he did anyway.
Brought me to tears, such a beautiful thing and after helene here in Asheville and all the suffer in the US even with cost of food right now here...this is just such a beautiful thing. Thanks Sonny!
It's shocking they can feed hundreds of people for the same price I pay for a basic sandwich at the supermarket here in the USA... and their food looks a lot better too.
Here in India temples and gurudwaras serve food to people without taking single penny. In USA Steve Job's during his struggling days used to eat in ISKON temple with free of cost because here in Hindu and sikh religion it is said that If you have some food then share it with the one who don't have.

Sonny, good morning 🌅 to you from Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR. Samosa is also very popular in hawker centres in Singapore 🇸🇬 and Malaysia as a part of the Indian 🇮🇳 cultural cuisine.
Only two cents, and meanwhile everything is getting more expensive in America due to corporate greed and inflation. It was really touching. I love watching Sonny just enjoy the moment and cover things like this.
2 cents because its a NGO, it usually costs around 1.50-2 dollars for that meal there, considering average monthly pay there is around 250-300 usd its not that cheap for them if u buy it from a regular restaurant or a street vendor
the meals are subsidized 50:50 by the state government and donations to the NGO organizing it. The actual cost is more around 20 cents. The 2 cent are just a symbolic fee, which even the poorest can afford. Of course with the median income being much lower in India it couldn`t be quite as cheap ever in the US, but it would indeed be possible to give free meals to the poor in the US too if tax payers would vote for parties willing to invest their tax money in such things rather than the war industry. However, as currently politicians in the US are discussing about school kids(!!!) receiving free school lunches being "free loaders" who should just "get a job to earn their food" I don`t see this happening any time soon
I'm from Mumbai and hadn't heard of City Samosa before this. Same goes with Akshaya Chaitanya. I was only aware of the work done by the Akshaya Patra Foundation (ISKCON).
That food factory is stupendous. I feel ashamed. In the 70s my expensive English public school (for non-Brits, Public schools are really private and cost a fortune🤦🏻♂️) would bring a handful of us to London to work the Soup Run. Once a month we were allowed to stay up all night bringing hot soup and rolls to homeless people. Some of these folk would be sleeping over the kitchen grills of top tier, central London hotels to get the warmth. A humbling experience for us kids but in no way comparable to what India is doing today. Respect🙏🏽🙏🏽👍

I’m confident you’ll achieve even bigger heights, and I’ll be here to witness your journey. Thank you for being authentic and spreading positivity!
This is the Sonny Side style I fell in love with some years ago! This is raw, talented journalism, amazing editing and storytelling, and most of all, traveling the whole wide world to tell a powerful food story ... Keep up the amazing work, Sonny! 👍🙏🏻🤷
The second factory is amazing. I’ve seen factories like that in videos about India before. They should have a few of them in the USA. Some people have a hard time buying food. 🍱
Now imagine that we have to buy 2 Samosas (frozen fried) for $4 CAD here in Canada.. and that will never taste like even close to what we eat in India.
Yes, in Tamil they're called "Moringa". I swear I've seen Sonny eat them before; you peel them open and use your teeth to scrape up the seeds and pulp. It soaks up whatever spices it's been stewed in; I agree, so good!
@@nahor88Moringa is English, Sahjan is the Hindi , this drumstick tree leaves are the ultimate super food. Even the Drumstick/ Moringa / Sehjantree flower is eaten. Google please 🙏
@PiyushKiChannel moringa is tamil name which they took it to English as this vegetable is native to India and the foriegn people recognized it in Tamil Nadu. Apparently Castro took seeds to Cuba and introduced moringa to his people with ailments. Iam not tamil, I read an article about moringa in Hindu when I was school kid back in 90s
@PiyushKiChannel Epic fail; Moringa IS the Tamil name, English borrowed it. Get your facts straight before clapping, jeez. 🙄 You're clearly not Tamil, and I find it hilarious you tried to go at someone that clearly is.
@@nahor88 Moringa is also known by many other names, including: Nebedaye: An African name that means "the one that never dies" The Miracle Tree: A name given to the plant by Indian traditional doctors Shiferaw: An Ethiopian name for the plant Drumstick: A name given to the plant in India Cabbage tree: An English name for the African Moringa Shobhanjana, Sahijna, Sainjna, Munaga: Indian names for the plant Moringa is a tropical tree that is native to India and other Asian countries. It is also grown in Ethiopia, Florida, the Philippines, South Africa, and Latin America
Even in india many such kind of things becoming corporate, like when i am living in village i never needed to buy anything related to food. Its slowly urbanizing losing the quality of food and the work is so stressful. When I am in village there is less work more time for family and used to do physical work now. Now office work and no time.
Well, DoD can always have a billion $ less & it be okay! But more importantly, what is needed is such organizations & people who run them. Otherwise it will after sometime become another giant corporate scheme to loot people & the country.
Thank you for showing the real India and not just random street vendors. This is just one. Such organizations exist in nook and corner of the subcontinent. The govt may not do its job effectively, but you can always rely on the people of India to watch your back. They can make anything on earth possible.
These charity kitchens are doing incredible work, and I'd love to travel to India one day to assist with one of them. Cooking is a passion, and I enjoy giving back.
They are indeed feeding many, but I have a problem with extortion. On the donations page provided it says that $1000 US will serve 13 nutritious meals. (Check it out yourself) 2 Cents x 13 meals = 26 Cents. My question is, who takes all those precious, warm hearted donors' remaining $999.74?
Great work Sonny!. This is incredible work their doing in India. Feeding millions of people who otherwise maybe wouldn't have anything to eat. More countries should be doing this.
I've been to many countries only in SOME countries that too in Asia Ive seen people feeding others free food on roads & streets. Then I say no place do what India does at that large scale. And its literally everywhere in India.
In India, All Government hospital (state level) food free for patients and their relatives. (Morning:- Patient:-2eggs and food Relatives:- only food Night:- Patient:- milk and food Relatives:- food) Central Government level hospitals for critical patient and NGO's provide free food I love my country ❤
The hospital in this video is KEM Hospital in Mumbai, where I did my residency from. N I still live behind KEM Hospital. I wonder, how did i miss a chance to meet sonny..
America is the richest Country in the world. Why can’t we do something like this on a larger scale? We spend Billions on a war that has nothing to do with us but, we can’t spend Billions on free food for all Americans!
I would like to travel to India one day, inspired by my friend Jacintha and her mum who ignited my confidence that all Indians are not like others that I have “worked” with. Looking after real people….
@@deusexmachina9217 Judging by your contact details, I assume that you may be aware of but avoidant of the term "misogynist".....and I hate that this has been my predominant experience.
God, I love this so much. Cooking is one of my favorite things, especially if it serves others. I worked multiple fast food services, and at each one, I cultivated a following of people who would only come in if I was working. I took my service role as an opportunity to try changing the vibes at most fast-food stores. I knew if I ever were to run my own restaurant, I would help those in need with food. This stuff they do in India is fucking awesome. That's real unity there.
I live in Australia, in a rural town, with a population of around 26,000 people. We have a rapidly growing homeless situation, people who rented homes before the pandemic. Once the rental moratorium ended, landlords hiked the rent up, which people couldn't afford, and there was a housing shortage (there still is), so there was nowhere to go. I wanted to batch cook, to give to those who needed it, but our council bylaws forbid it. You can't even get a license for it. It's ridiculous.
They didn't include Jammu And Kashmir in Indian Map 0:58 ,while they are also intimate part of India and rich in food culture. Please mind the issue 🙏❤
@D3epak-i3d yes exactly but when he said all over the country, he didn't hilights the Jammu and Kashmir part in the given map, While Jammu and Kashmir is also a part of India.
@@dancooper-z I care! Jammu & Kashmir is part of India And it will part of India forever. He should post correct map of India Which includes Jammu, Kashmir, laddakh, Arunachal Pradesh.
Yes if you respect India You have to acknowledge the fact that your editorial team should take responsibility for using a wrong map of India. This is disrespectful to the country which welcomes you and give you a lot of business. I like what you do with your videos, trying to show an honest side of the county and its food through your experiences and it's great its amazing to watch but you cannot use that to spread misinformation
For reals. You can tell who has worked in a restaurant and who hasn't. The glove thing is hilarious especially when half of these places only deal with veggies. Gloves are a bigger risk than bare hand. Since most people don't change their gloves after touching something else(and you have no clue if they did prior to you watching them plus gloves can't be washed(well you can but probably defeats the purpose).
these charity kitchens are doing amazing work id honestly love to one day travel to india just to help with one of these places. cooking is a passion and i love giving back
This is beautiful. I was very surprised to see how hygienic they work in the big factory. They came a long way. Thank you for taking us with you, Sonny🙏🏻💜
Food factory recap . Fresh, clean and wholesome ingredients processed no- nonsence , well-used machinery , to produce well cared for charity meals on an industrial scale , the purchase of ingredients planned by specialized software and feedback at the end of it with the aim of improvement . Best of both worlds !! India never ceases to amaze me !
Lots of good profit driven places are good in India depends which part of or area you are even in same area you will see hygienic and unhygienic restaurants front of each other, but thing is in my 25 years in India, (specifically Gujarat and Maharashtra) depends on area 95-99% restaurants are hygienic only 1-5% are bad but thing is if you ever visit here sheer volume of restaurants and street vendors are so much that 1% could be millions of restaurants/street vendors For example in my area within 1km walking distance we have at least 30-50 places you can eat food and I don't even live in a dense area in the city
I am actually cherished by seeing how you are reviewing it and literally I can see the respect for your work that you are doing. Somebody else respecting it is a compliment that they can see the efforts and they felt good, which I also have, but it's in you eyes that you yourself loved it and felt blessed and respect for your own passion of making food vlogs.
@@nikkiseashores82 i'd be worried about cholera and if they wash their hands after going for a toilet break India has the highest numbers of population suffering food poisoning related illnesses
If you're going to india you want it to be authentic which means food must be served and cooked with bare hands, cooked on the ground, and flies flying over it

@BrainwaveBlend Thanks. Have another 20 Milli in the bank. Will buy land and plant trees all over my country and give fruits to vegetables and animals.
Thanks for raising awareness about the good work being done by Akshaya Chaitanya. Impressed by the scale and impact of their operations. You did a great job in this video, Sonny! Loved how well connected you were to the topic at hand.
@DeathCultSlayer Yeah, I know the English term for it, but amongst Desi cooks we all just say "hing". Heat a little ghee, add a pinch of hing, then a spoonful of mustard seeds... when they crackle, throw in the leaves from a sprig of karipatta and immediately cover and turn off the flame; when the crackling stops, remove the cover. This flavored oil is South Indian Brahmin tempering for many dishes - hundreds of years old!

This guy is such a good presenter. Always respectful.
While many UA-camrs focus only on showing the negative aspects of India for views and likes, you’ve chosen to highlight the good and represent the country’s true beauty and spirit. We need more genuine creators like you. I’ve been following your channel since its early days and always respected your work, but this video has taken that respect to a whole new level. I’m confident you’ll achieve even bigger heights, and I’ll be here to witness your journey. Thank you for being authentic and spreading positivity!
This is the Sonny Side style I fell in love with some years ago! This is raw, talented journalism, amazing editing and storytelling, and most of all, traveling the whole wide world to tell a powerful food story ... Keep up the amazing work, Sonny! 👍🙏🏻🤷
He works hard.
Everytime Sonny says "seasoning " an angel gets its wings .
@@Daisy-f6f so hard !
@@Ben_fromAustraliafrom an NT nutter….

The second factory is amazing. I’ve seen factories like that in videos about India before. They should have a few of them in the USA. Some people have a hard time buying food. 🍱
If only DoD & US govt & MIC, can get themselves out of world policing & super expensive budget!
Now imagine that we have to buy 2 Samosas (frozen fried) for $4 CAD here in Canada.. and that will never taste like even close to what we eat in India.
Close??? I will be hard pressed to call it a samosa! Its more akin to patties than samosa!
India celebrates all kinds of vegetables like no other, so complex flavoured dishes yet not a single ounce of meat 👏.
Yeah but there's ghee everywhere in large quantities. Also you saw the samosas Friday and oil right?
But meat and vegetables is the best combination
@Osamabeenchilling yes, but all vegs is also good combination.
@@mohitram6922 you can't judge people by their food habits
indian people deserve meat and eggs like normal humans but casteism forced them to eat grass
One thing about Indian food to note…. It’s always well seasoned
ok
Well seasoned with hand, feet, sweat, insects flying over it, and anything to make it more unhygenic.
It has to be to cover the smell of poop.
@@RobertTostik😂bro get some friends, if you spend enough money that you spend in your country for a meal you will get good hygiene and products.
Yeah, if you like eating turmeric in everything... 🤢
India is special the most special place in the world.
Drumsticks are very nutrient-rich. Very delicious too!
Yes, in Tamil they're called "Moringa". I swear I've seen Sonny eat them before; you peel them open and use your teeth to scrape up the seeds and pulp. It soaks up whatever spices it's been stewed in; I agree, so good!
@@nahor88Moringa is English, Sahjan is the Hindi , this drumstick tree leaves are the ultimate super food. Even the Drumstick/ Moringa / Sehjantree flower is eaten. Google please 🙏
@PiyushKiChannel moringa is tamil name which they took it to English as this vegetable is native to India and the foriegn people recognized it in Tamil Nadu. Apparently Castro took seeds to Cuba and introduced moringa to his people with ailments. Iam not tamil, I read an article about moringa in Hindu when I was school kid back in 90s
@PiyushKiChannel Epic fail; Moringa IS the Tamil name, English borrowed it. Get your facts straight before clapping, jeez. 🙄
You're clearly not Tamil, and I find it hilarious you tried to go at someone that clearly is.
@@nahor88 Moringa is also known by many other names, including:
Nebedaye: An African name that means "the one that never dies"
The Miracle Tree: A name given to the plant by Indian traditional doctors
Shiferaw: An Ethiopian name for the plant
Drumstick: A name given to the plant in India
Cabbage tree: An English name for the African Moringa
Shobhanjana, Sahijna, Sainjna, Munaga: Indian names for the plant
Moringa is a tropical tree that is native to India and other Asian countries. It is also grown in Ethiopia, Florida, the Philippines, South Africa, and Latin America
That was one of my favorite videos by you. Heartwarming.
Thank you for showing kind and higienice side of India unlike others!
We need that food factory in America for those on fixed income.
Corporations would try to make it illegal
@@toddburgess5056 trump would make it illegal.
Even in india many such kind of things becoming corporate, like when i am living in village i never needed to buy anything related to food. Its slowly urbanizing losing the quality of food and the work is so stressful. When I am in village there is less work more time for family and used to do physical work now. Now office work and no time.
Well, DoD can always have a billion $ less & it be okay! But more importantly, what is needed is such organizations & people who run them. Otherwise it will after sometime become another giant corporate scheme to loot people & the country.
Everyone in the first restaurant looks so lost. I love it.😂😂
I resonated with that too lmao
They didn't understand what he was saying and why he's recording them 😅
😂
😂😂😂😂😂 @@martin96991
Thank you for showing the real India and not just random street vendors. This is just one. Such organizations exist in nook and corner of the subcontinent. The govt may not do its job effectively, but you can always rely on the people of India to watch your back. They can make anything on earth possible.
Wish all countries have this kind of organization that prioritize food for people in need.
These charity kitchens are doing incredible work, and I'd love to travel to India one day to assist with one of them. Cooking is a passion, and I enjoy giving back.
What kind of copy paste bot nonsense is this?
Hey bot.... you're one of those nasty one
They are indeed feeding many, but I have a problem with extortion. On the donations page provided it says that $1000 US will serve 13 nutritious meals. (Check it out yourself) 2 Cents x 13 meals = 26 Cents. My question is, who takes all those precious, warm hearted donors' remaining $999.74?
Id love you to give me some back
@@Brother-Louis Probably some greasy Indian dude in a call center.
19:31 BRO HELL NAW YOU ATE THE WHOLE PIECE OF PICKLE 😭😭.
🤣
Great work Sonny!. This is incredible work their doing in India. Feeding millions of people who otherwise maybe wouldn't have anything to eat. More countries should be doing this.
India seems like an amazing place to experience.
Yes it is but many ppl came under the influence of the propaganda i mean every country has some cons so does india
@Shreyash6160 Every place has pros and cons. I wouldn't want to live in India but it does seem like a neat place to visit.
@@kenneybis1097 yes you are most welcome 🙏
What you think might be the reason why all europe wanted a slice of it?
@oblivion_007 Thought they was just going for the turmeric.
I've been to many countries only in SOME countries that too in Asia Ive seen people feeding others free food on roads & streets.
Then I say no place do what India does at that large scale. And its literally everywhere in India.
Here's $2 to feed $160k thanks Sonny
That's very nice we need more people to feed Foreigners while your own people are starving
@@Liefvikerson and I help everyone. Wow how butt hurt are you turning goodwill into a negative. I'm a soldier dude, go take your rubbish to the bin
@@LiefvikersonSo what if they are foreigners, we are all humans at the end of the day
@@Liefvikersontake your rubbish to the bin
@@Liefvikerson well there are indian sikhs who run free kitchens even for you 'foreigners' you might wanna look it up
What they do is amazing. I hope to see more videos like this charity work and factories.
From Italy?
In India, All Government hospital (state level) food free for patients and their relatives. (Morning:-
Patient:-2eggs and food
Relatives:- only food
Night:-
Patient:- milk and food
Relatives:- food)
Central Government level hospitals for critical patient and NGO's provide free food
I love my country ❤
Egg is optional .
As we are always surplus in food 😊

@@Alpha-89 What are you laughing at
yup, good observation.
pointing out the obvious ahh comment
Wow , brilliant coverage.
I love the fact that you join the que.
The hospital in this video is KEM Hospital in Mumbai, where I did my residency from.
N I still live behind KEM Hospital. I wonder, how did i miss a chance to meet sonny..
The intro video of him in the street was in my neighbourhood in Thane. I literally missed him as well. 😭
America is the richest Country in the world. Why can’t we do something like this on a larger scale? We spend Billions on a war that has nothing to do with us but, we can’t spend Billions on free food for all Americans!
Because your people crazily think the poor should NOT be helped. Should not be fed or given free health care.
It takes compassion. Fortunately for us here in India, it exists.
Homeless people in America are very picky and entitled. Although not all, but most Homeless people don't even want food with no meat in them
Sad isn’t it
Cuz USA is a capitalistic country.
Refreshing to see the positive side of India for a change 👍
I would like to travel to India one day, inspired by my friend Jacintha and her mum who ignited my confidence that all Indians are not like others that I have “worked” with.
Looking after real people….
What was wrong with the ones you worked with?
@@deusexmachina9217 Judging by your contact details, I assume that you may be aware of but avoidant of the term "misogynist".....and I hate that this has been my predominant experience.
Hope you get to know good indian people too. ♥️ from india.
what was your experience with the people you worked with though.. let us know so we can improve
God, I love this so much. Cooking is one of my favorite things, especially if it serves others. I worked multiple fast food services, and at each one, I cultivated a following of people who would only come in if I was working. I took my service role as an opportunity to try changing the vibes at most fast-food stores. I knew if I ever were to run my own restaurant, I would help those in need with food. This stuff they do in India is fucking awesome. That's real unity there.
I live in Australia, in a rural town, with a population of around 26,000 people. We have a rapidly growing homeless situation, people who rented homes before the pandemic. Once the rental moratorium ended, landlords hiked the rent up, which people couldn't afford, and there was a housing shortage (there still is), so there was nowhere to go. I wanted to batch cook, to give to those who needed it, but our council bylaws forbid it. You can't even get a license for it. It's ridiculous.
@@deathbycheese850 capitalism
They didn't include Jammu And Kashmir in Indian Map 0:58 ,while they are also intimate part of India and rich in food culture. Please mind the issue 🙏❤
He say all over country
@D3epak-i3d yes exactly but when he said all over the country, he didn't hilights the Jammu and Kashmir part in the given map, While Jammu and Kashmir is also a part of India.
@@CreatureForCraze yes he put worng map in video!!!
It's a Charity that's Ingrid in the Culture of Service to the People 🙏 like The Gods intended.
2:12 Love the door marked "Exit Door", completely blocked by equipment.
Zombie containment ^^ (also like how the top has emergency exit arrow to that sealed door)
They've another door to exit which we can see in clip 1:20
1:00 Jammu and Kashmir🇮🇳 is an Integral part of India Correct this Map else we will file legal complaint against you
Bro, you serious? I'm sure it's a mistake, and if it's not who cares 😂
@@dancooper-z I care! Jammu & Kashmir is part of India And it will part of India forever. He should post correct map of India Which includes Jammu, Kashmir, laddakh, Arunachal Pradesh.
Yes if you respect India You have to acknowledge the fact that your editorial team should take responsibility for using a wrong map of India. This is disrespectful to the country which welcomes you and give you a lot of business. I like what you do with your videos, trying to show an honest side of the county and its food through your experiences and it's great its amazing to watch but you cannot use that to spread misinformation
In your heart, you know they're forever Pakistan
relax, even the Indian govt doesn't care
all the poeple complaining about hygiene , you may want to take a walk around your own countries cos your in for a real surprise trust me
For reals. You can tell who has worked in a restaurant and who hasn't. The glove thing is hilarious especially when half of these places only deal with veggies. Gloves are a bigger risk than bare hand.
Since most people don't change their gloves after touching something else(and you have no clue if they did prior to you watching them plus gloves can't be washed(well you can but probably defeats the purpose).
these charity kitchens are doing amazing work id honestly love to one day travel to india just to help with one of these places. cooking is a passion and i love giving back
You are always welcome❤

This is beautiful. I was very surprised to see how hygienic they work in the big factory. They came a long way. Thank you for taking us with you, Sonny🙏🏻💜
very surprising!
@trucidio especially for a charity kitchen. I've been to Mumbai (Bombay was still the name back then) and hygiene was not common 😁
And they all eat with their fingers. Ironic.
@@DanthecigarMan nothing wrong with eating with your fingers. The right hand is the only hand they use to eat from. The right hand is the clean one.
@@jurriaanvanderlinden3605🤮 just wash your hands after going to the bathroom
Food factory recap . Fresh, clean and wholesome ingredients processed no- nonsence , well-used machinery , to produce well cared for charity meals on an industrial scale , the purchase of ingredients planned by specialized software and feedback at the end of it with the aim of improvement . Best of both worlds !! India never ceases to amaze me !
Says a lot about the world when the profit driven place is absolutely filthy but the charity organisation is top notch.
It really was nit absolutely filthy. It was not the cleanest but absolutely filthy? No. I’ve seen worst looking restaurants here in the USA.
Absolute filthy?!!!
Talking about your country bruh 😊
Lots of good profit driven places are good in India depends which part of or area you are even in same area you will see hygienic and unhygienic restaurants front of each other, but thing is in my 25 years in India, (specifically Gujarat and Maharashtra) depends on area 95-99% restaurants are hygienic only 1-5% are bad but thing is if you ever visit here sheer volume of restaurants and street vendors are so much that 1% could be millions of restaurants/street vendors
For example in my area within 1km walking distance we have at least 30-50 places you can eat food and I don't even live in a dense area in the city
I have never been this early for anything, which might explain why I keep getting fired.
Lol

Job is temporary, this show for a lifetime😂
Nice one Seinfeld lets focus on the video

I love this channel. No exaggerated reaction for views or no racist comment. Showing honest reaction about food from entire world ❤❤
Love from India sonny! Really appreciate that you've covered this in your video and glad that you honestly enjoyed the food. You are the best!!!
I am actually cherished by seeing how you are reviewing it and literally I can see the respect for your work that you are doing. Somebody else respecting it is a compliment that they can see the efforts and they felt good, which I also have, but it's in you eyes that you yourself loved it and felt blessed and respect for your own passion of making food vlogs.
The hygiene standards of the first place and the food factory are night and day.
They were barefoot in the first place 😂
@@nikkiseashores82 i'd be worried about cholera and if they wash their hands after going for a toilet break India has the highest numbers of population suffering food poisoning related illnesses
@@nathangerrard9792 ya im not surprised. They swim and bathe in water with feces, garbage and dead animals.
If you're going to india you want it to be authentic which means food must be served and cooked with bare hands, cooked on the ground, and flies flying over it
@@newch1-x8mwhat? Stop the BS racist stuff, too boring now. If you don't wanna come, don't. But stop spreading BS stuff about india.
great video! love the ending
Moved to Pune 2 years back and I've been saying the same exact thing about Samosa Pav. It's Carb on carb on carb.
10:13 For those who doesn't get that it's "Asafoetida".

Samosa filling guy is so amazing!!! He's a "WRAP-MAN!!!". TBF the whole team there is amazing.
Putting light on the charitable foundation is super dope!! One of the best episodes thus far!
Just donated a million dollars to the charity. They are doing an amazing work.
Thats incredible. Hats off to you.
@BrainwaveBlend Thanks. Have another 20 Milli in the bank. Will buy land and plant trees all over my country and give fruits to vegetables and animals.
Thanks for raising awareness about the good work being done by Akshaya Chaitanya. Impressed by the scale and impact of their operations. You did a great job in this video, Sonny! Loved how well connected you were to the topic at hand.
It's hing, darling - hing!😊 Helps with digestion of legumes and cruciferous veggies and provides a pleasant garlic-celery-like flavor and aroma.
Asafoetida
@DeathCultSlayer Yeah, I know the English term for it, but amongst Desi cooks we all just say "hing". Heat a little ghee, add a pinch of hing, then a spoonful of mustard seeds... when they crackle, throw in the leaves from a sprig of karipatta and immediately cover and turn off the flame; when the crackling stops, remove the cover. This flavored oil is South Indian Brahmin tempering for many dishes - hundreds of years old!
I'm extremely amazed how you have eaten more types of foods than anyone on earth, literally and still maintain your same size over all these years💪
He actually hasn't maintained his size. He used to be fat.
I love the way you look at positivity and yes as an Indian who serves USA everyday and been there multiple times, I understand what you mean and I’m glad to see you are such a positive person. Thank you for sharing this story.
I remembered I eat some Samosa in indie restaurant and that tasted really good
I was shocked that Sonny didn't know about 'bottle gourd' or 'water gourd' and pronounced it as water guard. 😱
I haven't seen it much in the western world
Absolutely, there's something truly special about helping others, especially when it's done with pure selflessness. It’s the kind of positive energy that comes back in the best ways. 😊
Hello sir,
