These are people who openly tell ingredients, recipe, and everything. Yet you can’t match them when it comes to taste and quality. Respect
Because we miss their secret ingredient - sweat
If you ever have the opportunity go on a tour in the US of the Jelly Bellies factory. They tell you all they do - no secrets at all, no lawyered tour. They know nobody else will take all the same steps so they show what they do. Fantastic, just like this video!
It is a very standard recipe, so maybe that is also why there is no point in hiding. The thing about cooking in general, and Indian cooking in specific is cooking out of instinct (thus is observed such a lack of organised recipes, ingredient measuring)- it is the knowledge of the principles of cooking, mastery of their skill over the years, and cooking with love/soul that defines the quality of the food. This is also why the exact same recipes may taste different across Indian households/kitchens.

you didnt add sweat to it.
the man who fed the little kids with all his leftovers at the end of the day - what a blessing.

Respect!

So right mr G found this the best bit to take away with me....."feed the hungry kids with the days left overs ....a righteous man

❤️
Could u explain what does it mean? Cause i don't get it.
@pambuti dotti - The humble seller meant that the quality of food that he is selling should be the same as the one he would eat at home.
Have u see the guy in the video making batter slither in sweat.

When my wife and I traveled to India, we didn't eat at the fancy hotels, we ate on the street, with the real people of India. Oh, it makes my mouth water every time I think about their food. Each person selling his food, was so proud of what he or she made, because they wanted you to come back. Food for Gods, made purely from love.

Always welcome
During my first trip to India, my friend and I lived in a horrible hotel as it turned out in not the best area in Calcutta. Lo and behold - it was an amazing experience. The staff in the hotel was great and I had no issue using a bucket for showering. Calcutta was an experience and India will be worth maaany more trips (so far three). And heck yes: street food for sure!!! Just be aware of old samosas in old oil…that was the only spoiler…♥️ PS: a "slum" is what? Small scale projects or council housing; it exists everywhere - just different colours and people 😉
When I heard "India" I can see colors, bright colors like red, orange, blue, green. India is land of colors.
Thanks buddy for acknowledging my country😊🇮🇳

One of the best made, most delightful videos I have ever seen about Dharavi and its industrious residents. Now when I see the idli wala, manchurian wala and other well patronised Dharavi origin food set ups so frequently seen near most railway stations and markets of Mumbai, I have an increased respect to the efforts put in by these entrepreneurs. Respect for the Dharavi spirit !
Love their hardworking spirits and over that …the kindness to feed the kids made me speechless. Despite of all the negativity and injustice around us this world is based because of few selfless people who are serving the humanity . God bless all the hard working people around the world Aameen
some people brand the place as slum, and see it with disgust.. but from the video, i see togetherness, ideas, and hardworking people who still care for each other.
Probably no plumbing. Thsts what makes it a slum possibly
Bro u don't believe but i have seen more of brand which is export from dharavi cuz i m one of them 😂
Togetherness he said 😂
And some sweat with bacteria 😂
@@blabakempus8401 yes bro the foreigner came here to buy them our leather products 😂
The tamil guy is a gem.
Not to mention his Tamil, hindi and a bit marathi is like a music for us.
Thank you !
Most of the time I saw only the bad side of the slum like how polluted it is. Never saw this part of slum, now I have different thoughts about slum. I wish people would show more good side of the slum. Huge respect of their hard work.
The only thing that gives slums negative impression is a lack of public planning and you can't even say that it's the government's fault, because the poorer migrant sections in any big cities will flock to the places that will be least expensive and they will be the least planned. By the time the government get to redeveloping the area, the areas would have been too densely populated and convincing the people to give up their only shelter and have faith in the government would have become a gigantic task.
"Everybody in Dharavi has a dream and a lot of them makes their dreams come true" this sentence makes me wanna move to Dharavi.
When the whole of Mumbai is Sleeping, such hardworking people start their day at 4am and work till 11pm
Mumbai never sleeps ❤️

@@omairibnhamzah8508 this statement is true only in books and 20-30% true on weekends
Mumbai never sleeps bro
Half the Mumbai wakes up before 4:00 am to fill their water tank. So unfortunate
😢😢😢
Yeah agree anywhere around the world salute to everyone who works so hard 💪
I love the kind man who shares his food with the poor children. What a wonderful act of kindness. I wish him many blessings!!!!!
His deed is admirable, but my only concern is food grade coloring in the sauce
Plus he had a orange cat in his house. He's aok in my eyes 😻😻
Exactly what I thought! He gives the leftovers to the poor children. What thoughtfulness and kind to do that. Much better than throwing it to the rubbish. I work in a top noch restaurant here in Belgium. I am aghast by the amount of leftovers going in to the trash everyday. The rich and the elite guests....order things and leave 1/4 of the food that goes into the trash! What a pity
@@Mrtribru69 Yes, way back in 1975, I was a young teenager and worked as a bus boy at my Uncle's Fish Restaurant. The amount of food that was throw away was heartbreaking. Many nights after we closed down, my Uncle would give me free cooked catfish that was not served, but rather sat under heat lamps for no more than an hour. I would collect the fish in a standard brown paper grocery bag and bring it home. I would eat and share this fish with my Parents over the next several days. There was nothing wrong with this food. Had I not taken it, the food would have been thrown in the trash. This just always seemed so wasteful, even for a young chap like me.
@@rockbay79 . We Indians have such a bad habit of wasting food ( the educated and the richer ones), going to a buffet counter, taking all food, almost half of it they dont eat! In many German restaurants, you have to pay more if food is left in your plate. Most of the Belgian people here do not waste food. They eat almost everything what is served on the plate. They are tourists who come here from different destinations who waste food. In an Indian restaurant in Antwerp city...they have firmly written, " Food is precious, please do not waste", " It is a shame to waste food, please take only what you consume"....it is all over the walls.
These people are happiest in the world. Their hard work is paying them back through God
God bless you all for stomach filling 🙏
im a licensed professional and im learning a lot about life from these humble people more than any other class. they have so much compassion and enthusiasm. they are also grateful and full of contentment which majority of us lack. also, nothing beats street food! they're made with love and hard work
"they are also grateful and full of contentment which majority of us lack" So true man Mad respect to these guys.
Feels so fulfilling to see he gives free food to the homeless kids or the poor kids in the area... The definition of humanity.
Over populated india
There is always an idiot who tries to spread negetivity.
I don't think the kids are homeless, but imagine their parents are relieved their kids get a good snack or meal for free
Its a good gesture of vendor, instead of throwing away that food he gives to these local kids, they are happy and he is happy as well.
Here we throw away tones of food every years bcz nobody wants to eat or there are other hygiene matters.
@@cesareroma7204 When I worked at a convenience store, they told us to throw food away after its "safe" holding time. I would offer it free to whom ever wanted it because I remember going to bed hungry. I never threw anything away. Worst case scenario, I once left some food out behind the dumpster for the wild animals and felt good about it.
Can we just take a moment for how beautiful those Tamil brothers are?! Seriously gorgeous and passionate about their work

The more you give the more you earn.. boomerang effect
So true if you ever have to be the richest Mukesh Ambani in India you have to potentially cause harm to Anil Ambani by snatching away what he deserved. Just think it’s between two brothers what had happened with the ones they weren’t related by blood. So many have had to be left behind.

I've never been disappointed eating from a proper south indian guy. These guys are wizards in their game. Each and every joint has their own taste and each taste incredibly awesome
I concur.
Yes. They leave their mark no Matter wherever they go. Nothing can beat their receipe.
Oh, man. South Indian food is just something else.
the mentality of south Indians is just completely different
It's because of their culture they are still grounded , while people in north have high level of attitude due to their money power .but the case in South is totally different .they are hard working not like a marvadi , sitting and continuing their fathers bussiness even if they are in capable. I think south indians also need to start doing business and get more educated. then this north indians will not able to look down on south Indians.
"I only sell to people what I'd ate at home."
now that's how a true cook should first learn.
👍
Very true. People in Dharavi have dreams and by sheer hard work make their dreams come true inspite of the dismal living conditions. Dharavi inspires and motivates people from all over the world to pursue their dreams and live in peace and harmony. it could become a tourist site if basic cleanliness improves and the inhabitants are involved in this movement to better living conditions.🙏
Very nice documentary.
Shows a side of Dharavi that we Indians don't know
I loved the hindi accet of Idli seller, a mix of Tamil and Marathi with a slight Telugu slang. A well directed documentary, good work.
It's not Telugu slang. I think South Tamil Nadu, may be Tirunelveli or Tanjore slang
I felt mallu accen
He said lot of words like "jyasthi" which means too much. The word is particularly used by muslim community in Hyderabad as per my observation.
As a foreigner, I don't really see the difference. 😅 But a beautiful language too. One of the root of most languages in Southeast Asia.
@@ishandiablo jaasti means more in Marathi as well
People were shocked when I told them that I ate on the street or in trains or by the road in villages but I was never once ill, the food is fresh and made the same day which is more than you can see in the west ! I ate oil fried onions in newspaper and cups of sugar cane juice and then a fresh mango from the tree, magic!

Absolutely true bro...

I just felt we don’t need privileged ‘experts’ giving us the low down on the food n people. One could research and be informed.....make this documentary without contribution from those two.
I love these kind of documentaries. No dedicated narrators. Subject of the documentary narrates the story. No overdose of bg music. Simple yet powerful cinematography. Very well made documentary.
Indian food is BY FAR my very favorite food !!! Nothing else even comes close !!!
These people deserve more love and appreciation than any big restro . ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
None of them, I repeat none of them were asking for pity! They are so happy 🙌!!! We need to learn the art of living from them!! 🙏❤️

@recycleBinLaden You are absolutely right. They found something they could work for the sake of working even money is the reward.
If anyone didn't get my point it's totally ok. I am not explaining nor judging🙏 I would rather take some life lessons myself than condemn others. Life is short, better learn to thrive and live with grace. 😊🌻🙏

This is the beauty of India, In every corner you can try new food.
I am originally from Sri Lanka but living in Canada. I always love to watch lots of Indian documentaries. Because they work very hard and very strong minded people. they never give up easily. I wish if I can make idlis and vada with that educated young idli man, living in Mumbai Dharavi and get some amazing experience with kind and hard working people, who don't give up that very hard life style.
Absolutely True.
I have had idli chutney/vada chutney or dal vada chutney (one of them each day) atleast for a year in Andheri (E) by these Tamilian Anna’s and not once had fallen sick due to food. I was in awe and had respect to this Anna who was immensely hardworking and diligently consistent with the chutney and sambhar taste. Hats off to these humble hardworking guys good to see a documentary on them. 👌❤️🤟👍🙌 They are the real street food connoisseurs.God bless them.

Best part is eating idli and seeing this one I’m from south India proud to be Tamilian and their our Tamilian serves many peoples daily with little wages that’s our Tamil culture serve the people in needy
Not just Tamil culture it's Indian culture
@Aditya D man don't generalise.
I call it Indian culture.... But for your information many South Indian dishes were taken from Maharashtra to South one of them is sambhar. Please research. Puranpoli is another
Ya bro tamil people never hesitate to do blue collar jobs, they give equal importance and respect to every jobs, im from kerala here know one want blue collar jobs, every one are ready to do low income job with tip top standard and look like a mall shop keeper roughly earn 600 and most of these people never do a jobs like construction worker, painter etc even they get more than 1000 and if u are doing some blue collar jobs its impossible for you got married, exception are there like love marriage or if the women family are much poor so they may accept the guy....
I hate this mentality of people 😬
I also love the fact that the people in their locality are quite encouraging. ❤️
These people are a real inspiration. Keep going irrespective of hardships you face.
Most happiest part in this video was😀" Dharavi has good literacy rate and kids are getting education ☺️🙏
At first I didn't care for the older man who was selling the Manchurian dishes because everyone else was making their food from scratch, with fresh ingredients, and this man was just opening already pre-made packaged food (cans/jars/bottles/etc.), cooking it up and selling it. But when he said "you don't have to have money to eat at my stall", and when he gave the leftovers to the less fortunate/children, that REALLY warmed my heart. This lifestyle/community is truly INCREDIBLE and an inspiration.
It is.. U won't belive but its a different world in its own.. A beautiful bonding among the neighbors.
That literally happens all over South Asia and I'm sure in South East Asia too and many other places too, nothing new, its just basic sense of caring for people of your community.
@@001Alvinar this slum also it's called dharavi
This slum is called dharavi i live here
This whole series is amazing. We need more documentaries like these which show real people and real life around the world. Much respect.
One thing I noticed in all Indian documentaries, the people although they a poor and struggling are always joyful and optimistic. It's a tough life but they enjoy what life gives them and are thankful. It's a great lesson to all peoples around the world.
These people are not as poor as you think, on an average they will be making around $500-1000 which is not actually but the cost property in Mumbai is one of the highest in the world moreover there is slum tourism, Westerners pay a lot for this so, in a way it's profitable for them to stay in slums
A slum has the highest literacy rate in the country, that's impressive.
EDIT: Apparently it's ONE OF THE HIGHEST, not THE HIGHEST in the country. I apologize for misleading viewers.
This was wrong fact shown india has avg. Literacy rate of 74.04 % . Kerela being the state with higesht literacy rate 93.91 %. Infact dharavi is having one of the lowest literacy rate in whole Maharastra .
@Kevin Troy Do the math you will know why
@Kevin Troy 74% is not a high literacy rate. It's a serious problem which we're trying to solve.
@Kevin Troy dude just respect their culture ok. they have been eating like this for centuries and adapted to live like that. sanitary hygiene is a basic procedure in ur and my country bcs its accessible and affordable. for them, its not affordable and it will increase their prices by alot if they buy alot of sanitary products, and how can common/ poor folks afford to pay? basic hygiene is a problem but pls, dont be rude.
for e.g. a surgical mask cost maybe 0.5-1.5 usd, thats the price of a single meal for them do u know that?
and not to mention, other sanitary gear,, be glad that ur country has proper hygiene but dont mock others for a culture u dont uds
@Kevin Troy I admit that this is an issue. This is directly related to education and literacy rates but there is huge difference in areas which have >85 , 90 % lit. rates . Those regions are much cleaner and beautiful eg- Backwaters Of Kerala. We are commited make strides in this area through a initiative called Clean India Mission .
I have never seen such a quality piece on India. Perfect!
Right
WOW!!! Fills me with immense gratitude and love for such souls. I'll surely visit Dharavi in the early morning, ONCE!
The only thing we should learn from this video is always be grateful of what you have 👍

That tamilian guy has charm in him very much humble... ..god bless him🤗🤗🤗
I respect hard work (effort) and integrity (not trying to cheat others). That is very respectable.
Heartfelt respect to them, sleepless nights and hard work are always paid off .
Humanity, togetherness, support, brotherhood, humbleness and inner happiness are what they proved to have which keep them going.
I literally have ate those street foods and its phenomenal and I really respect their efforts.
simple yet awesome documentary.
Much blessings and good wishes.. Keep going
This kind of incredible journey is life...in a nutshell...no shortcuts..simple hard work
Well said my friend
👍
Openly discussed about ingredients and this is beauty of innocent people who work hard.
Not much machine
Their hands are sufficient to make delicious food
Learnt many languages and
Served many people
Salute
Our Tamilian brother is earning 4500 rupees/day. Really, you can laugh on your neighbours face, who are criticizing you...😅😅
I have so much respect for those guys. They could easily chose a different, rather illicit route to make a lot of money but they chose to do what they are doing. God bless you brother. 🙏🏻
I love how he tried to speak Hindi. I was laughing when he first said "Thandheyi" for 'Dhandha'. But by the end of this video i felt guilty for Laughing at him :( Vera Level anna nee.
@Swag Hoeツ he told he felt guilty for laughing at him. Please read the sentence properly
Was he speaking Tamil or Telugu?

That idli wala earning twice the average salary of a software engineer with 8+yrs of experience in India.. that too zero tax payment to govt.. truly slumfood millionaire 🙏🙏
Govt doesn't care to collect taxes from these small scale businesses
@Airbus A380 everything we buy has tax included in it. Income tax is very small compared to what we pay to gov. On all those indirect taxes. And also looking at are governments they deserved to be cheated.
I think only government employees are paying tax regularly beacuse their used to cut from there salaries
Software Engineer with no brains like a dodo works for the Western companies, he is being paid very less in dollars just because the conversion happens it appears to be a lumpsum amount, the so called software Engineer has no innovation doesn't understand any business and keeps coding without knowing the overall picture of the business structure so he stays in the same place with 7% increment every year, nothing to be proud in it. As per your calculation the SE just makes 6700$ per year for doing the same work as an American sometimes even more, the idli wala can't be compared with an SE.
@@rajpradeep87 Bro chill.. I've not compared SE with this guy. i just said this guy is earning double the average salary of SE with brains or no brains.
I love how they take a simple dish and make it delicious
The pride and love from the people for their work and community is well-deserved. The food looks super delicious!
Loved this documentary, also loving this series overall. Thanks for showing respect to those who deserve it the most and for such ingenious work, CNA team.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Watched it and it seems we are not so different after all..
Coming from a pure Filipino.. Love the dude who gives the leftover food to the childrens...keep doing it please.. 😁😁
Tge amount of respect and love is unconditional.
All that food, looks so good! What wonderful documentary CNA!
For all the people saying about hygiene this food is much healthier than all the processed junk crap that you eat.
Doubt...
He didnt even wash the tomato wtf! so many pesticides sprayed on veg
Anirban, most of those commenting on hygiene know squat about food prep beyond seeing some snazzy food shows. Your defense on hygiene is lost om them. If you know Hindi then you will know, bandar kya jaane adrak ka swaad!

Those idlis and Chutneys can beat any Five star hotel Taste.
No
I can eat idli and sambar all the time....😍😍😍😍
No. Lmao, they're good at the public's taste but can't never beat Michelin Star restaurant.
True every time i have been to any 5 star restaurant their idli just dont have the taste that the street food idli and chutney has and i end up missing the idli and chutney from streets any given day i would choose the idli and chutney from the streets
@Airbus A380 Rich people.....
Loved to watch this short documentary❤️ would like to see more videos of such small businesses who are the real essence of the city
Respect for hardwork 🙌
I am amazed at the resilience of these people. With all their hardship they still smile. Frankly I would like to go to India and spend time educating their kids Wonderful Doco.
After covid, you can team up with NGO's and become a volunteer!!!
Please come to our India for sure you will experience everything.💓
You are most welcome brother 🙂
Thank you very much very interesting story
