He is lovely and so informative! Very glad to see these professional judges who are obviously there to promote their businesses, but also there to educate.
For a non like UA-camr, Karan had some really good screen presence. Didn't stammer on his words a lot and never felt awkward in a conversation. Definitely one of the better guests you guys have had.
I'll bet he's taught a fair few "class style" lessons through the years, that's generally how I see teachers act, they let you go and only stop you if you're going to really mess up.
Haha, I don't know if that "blooper" at the end was staged or not but Barry's face & tone of voice was a peach. Karan has good screen presence, very relaxed in front of the camera, would be good to see him back as a guest again. Was great to see him build the curry the way he did.
I'd wager it's not staged, but that Ebbers has deliberately gone for the OTT innuendo and then Baz has played up to it because they know how to please their audience!
They're definitely thinking: Does Ebbers want to wrestle us greco-roman style right now? And which olive oil is the best to rub yourself in for this type of activity?
Got to say guys - this format is a winner. So much theory & practical info in one video. - You help us by summarising the 3 main mistakes people make with a dish - normals cooking on their own with no interruptions from chefs (to show real life) - then pro chef doing & explaining it step-by-step, with each normal helping - then a recap re the mistakes & tips - then a leftovers recipe Just LOVE this approach in addition to the other video concepts. It’s like Ben’s ‘like a chef’ short fri videos, but with you all. Can’t wait for the next one...
Wow, Karan broke it down so well. I am Sri Lankan but learnt to cook mostly on my own. The step of "cook till the oil seperates"? That took me several years to understand. In the beginning I used to stop the process too early and later on ended up using too little oil. I am a little envious that this "hard earned" knowledge was dropped in within two sentences,😆 So very well done.
Just watched this with my 6 year old daughter, she then wanted to watch more so we've just ended up in a pass it on marathon. It becomes Barry's turn and She's just announced "Opps Barry again" in the most deadpan voice I've ever heard and all I could do was laugh.
She’s a comedic genius in the making XD I recommend making some of the recipes with her, if you ever get the time. Cooking is an excellent way to bond with your kids
Karan feels like hes been doing UA-cam video for as long as you guys. What a great and genuine Person he is in front of the Cam. This was a pleasure to watch!
This man is a professional, I dont just mean his culinary skills. What an amazing presence on camera! Would make for an excellent reoccurring guest / judge
Looking through the comments, Karan racked up a following quick lol. If you bring him and James back in the same episode, you'll probably break the internet.
I eat curry twice a day (being bangali) but I'm really excited to see this version of a curry. Love the representation of South asian culture and food. Would love to see even more of Sri Lanka and other places from South asia shown❤
Brother it's not South Asian to be specific, more like South Indian-Sri Lankan (food is almost the same here), I've lived in Pondicherry for last three years and this year just moved to Chennai and I can assure you he made Kothu paratha and Kerala Chicken Curry (that's how similar the culture is).
@@sudippaul2876 I understand what you're saying! Different regions in South asia have their own specialties. That is why I said I would want to see even more shown of the different regions. But its cool to know that the food is similar in South India and Sri Lanka. What else do they have in common?
@@saiquatabassum6321 Culturally a lot similar I assume, even Srilankan people can speak Tamil I guess. Whatever, but the difference of food and culture between Bangalis and South Indians (Tamil, Telegu, Malayali all are significantly different than each other though) is very huge.
@@sudippaul2876 it truly is. They are all wonderful in their own ways but unfortunately westerners lump it all together into one cuisine and end up missing out on a whole lot we all have to offer
Can we get a pass it on where you all go in alphabetical order but you roll a dice to find out how long you cook for. It just keeps repeating up to a certain time limit
As a Sri Lankan that's been watching Sorted for years (still remember the Kotthu roti big night in which I loved!), this was an awesome video to see! Would love to see Karan judge a battle as well, he seems like a really good guy! Big love from Sri Lanka! 💛
Everyone in the comments section is being so respectful. I'm going there. Karan is a fox and his accent is 🔥🔥🔥 Also, he imparted so much valuable advice 👏👏👏
Yes! I didn't like to feel like I was objectifying him, but he's definitely 🔥 That said, some of that 🔥 probably also came from his presence, knowledge, and general likability (and his accent!) :)
How about having one of those cooking battles, but hear me out: with ben and an external chef. Let Ebbers show off a bit and have two fantastic dishes. Maybe make it a themed cook off, give the external chef a budget, or give Ebbers one. Who knows, i just would love to see Ben get challanged a bit from time to time.
I didn't. Prefer James or just them 4 - they should just hire another dude. The fact that he let the curry beside him get burnt for so long is a slight on his character, he is just unaware of it and not tactful. The problem with the 'guest' chefs and what I hate about daytime viewing is that nobody actually criticizes the dishes to make them better, it's shit and boring, at least Barry tried. Fair play, Baz. It's my opinion folks, no need to send me to oblivion.
@@dizzydazed8055 The whole premise of this episode was showing the boys how they could have done better though? Is that not the perfect constructive criticism? Karan was also great in front of the camera, super informative, and his humour meshed well with the usual cast. I'm aware that it's just your opinion, but I'm baffled as to how you came to such a strangely vacuous opinion.
@@jolliv @Jordan Ollivier it's not vacuous. When you watch someone sit about and kiss roses over their own technique whilst watching a pan burn and then see the boys lick sweet his lassi juices without ribbing or acknowledging the actual advantages and disadvantages between the two dishes. It sucks. Proper cooking is lost on these 'guest' chefs and just a glorified ad for their persona. You could see Mike grimace when Barry was talking when tasting the two dishes side by side and then he was like 'THAT'S FANTASTIC'. It's boring. I'm just commenting on these guests chefs after that disastrous Mr. Roger. These guys were supposed to be honest, not a daytime tv suck off.
I really enjoyed this format where you showed the "home cook" way and then the "correct" way. Really interesting to see those little differences in technique making such a big effect on the dish. (Also I agree with everyone else--I think you should bring Karan back.)
I assume the main mistake is just using that one old curry powder in your cupboard for every curry instead of roasting and grinding different mixes of spices yourself?
Or you can buy the pre mixed spice blends. If you like using the same powder each time, then that's fine, but if you want to experiment a bit, then pre blended or mixing your own is a great way to do so.
Its not a mistake per se. As someone who eats curry multiple times a day and has cooked it multiple times... I can tell you that you can do both. My mother makes a paste of ginger, onion and garlic and puts it in the freezer, using different amounts of it in different curries. If you have the basic blended spices.. red chilli, turmeric, cardamom, coriander etc. You can just use different amounts of it and have good results. Yes, if you blend it yourself it will affect the taste and it'll taste really good too but it takes quite a bit of effort. My mother blends cardamom and cinnamon into a powder rather than buying the powder versions because she prefers the taste of that. Tldr, you can do both and be fine
Indian here. You just need one good mix of spices. My mom does one load of spice paste to be used for a week at one time. It has garlic, turmeric, red chili, cumin and coriander with a little water and keeps it in the fridge. She uses this mix for most things she makes during the week. Occasionally she will add some ginger but everything tastes different. I would recommend buy several packets of kitchen king spice mix and keep it.
This is by far one of my favourite Collab videos you guys have done. As someone who's marrying into a Sri Lankan family is great to see some more content and also tips and tricks, definitely going to be used in my kitchen.
As a Tamil Sri Lankan that's very passionate about curry I absolutely loved this video! Would love to see an updated curry battle with what they've learnt, maybe all vegetarian curries since a lot of Sri Lankan curries are usually vegetarian/vegan.
The discussion over the word curry brings back a good memory. I invited some Indian friends over for American biscuits and gravy. When I finally brought out the food they were relieved because they were imagining curry on cookies. I had no idea they saw curry as just a sort of gravy at home! 🤣
Curry is such a beautiful in-depth meal that I, much like most people, don’t really appreciate. The Tikka Masala was created in the UK, but the stereotype is that curry is Indian, but what I think we can all agree on is that india have developed curry as a dish and it’s great seeing an expert like Karan provide an insight into his expertise of such a beautiful dish cooked from scratch. Curry is a great midweek meal after work with the sauce out of a jar, mushrooms and chicken cooked off while rice bubbles away and there’s a lovely dinner in 20 minutes with a lovely garlic naan, but curry is such a fine art that is unappreciated to all us normals, going to an Indian restaurant is great for experimenting but knowing how recipes differ so that the same dish will differ between restaurants doesn’t allow us to truly appreciate the depth of curry. Such a fantastic and intriguing dish, and it’s no surprise that yet again the uk has created something and the idea has been improved drastically elsewhere, and we’ve stolen that work and enjoy it for ourself 😂😂 we’re good as a nation at engineering, but most of us drive foreign cars with Ford being the only notable English car company, most technology coming from China and Malaysia, with the innovation coming from the us, we steal everything and benefit from everyone else’s work 😂😂 we are the literal definition of a free rider in economic terms, we don’t put anything towards the end product but enjoy the full benefit of the end product, the uk are the bad guys of the world we’re just lucky we pretend to be the police of the world, it’s like spurs pretending to be a big club, its an ongoing facade that most of us aren’t really sure how we managed to make it happen but everyone has been bamboozled by it for long enough, but we’ll be found out soon enough I can see the headlines already, Japan recalls all vehicles and refuses to export others to uk because of controversial prime minister, no more Kia, no more Toyota 😂😂 roads would be empty, would be warfare between the crazy Audi drivers and the insane bmw motorists 😂😂
Really enjoyed this! Karan is a natural in front of the camera and while teaching and I love the dynamic between him and the guys. Hope you can have him on again!
This was great, I found it much more enjoyable than the last roasting video- karan is so encouraging and down to earth that the whole thing feels more fun- get him back!
Karan's tips on all the different elements were so helpful - why the tomato skin doesn't break down, the separation of the oil and veg, the onion and garlic tips, etc. Great info for home cooks!
Love your channel! You always make me laugh. What a great blessing you all are, especially at this time. I'm 83 and never too old to learn new techniques, and I really like this explanation for making good curry. BTW, just curious, why is Ebbers the only one you call by his last name?! It does seem appropriate somehow, lol.... I hope you all stay such good mates, it's something precious. Love to all from Canada
I love the fact that Sorted have been able to grow and begin to form relationships with other special guests who can provide expertise and new knowledge, and it’s always a bonus when they’re not camerashy and instead energetic and entertaining. It’s nice seeing people like Karan appearing in multiple videos with different themes as a guest, benefits both parties and it’s nice seeing the guys grow and expand and form relationships with local chefs as well!
This was super cool to see the small differences between just techniques between a couple items like the spices and the veg can make in an end result. I'm definitely going to use some of these techniques for some curries. I always love the Friday episodes because they are usually so much more informative with cooking techniques and concepts.
Really enjoyed this. Got married in Sri Lanka nearly 3 decades ago. Did a tour of as much of the island as we could (Tamil Tigers were a big issue in the North East). I ate the local food relentlessly when it was offered - sadly some of our co-tourists resorted to the 'egg and chips' lack of adventure. I loved the food and I'd be keen to hear Karans perspective on what is uniquely Sri Lankan vs. the multitude of different Indian (and Pakistani) food regionally variants.
I really appriciate that he talks about curry from the different regions being different...vastly... That's one of the generalisation everyone makes when they peg Sri Lankan food.
I like how Karan doesn’t insult other curries or show how their way of cooking is wrong but shows how to make curries better with the same ingredients. I would love to see a chef skills battle of them making curry
The most common mistake I see people make with curry is following a recipe from India when what they really want to make is British Indian curry. They are completely different cuisines. Chicken tikka masala doesn't exist in India, and even the dishes which do share the same name use different spices and textures and levels of sweetness.
I love this so much. Have tried to make it a couple of times now and the video was pretty clear on all the steps. One thing i am a bit confused by is the whole spices and sprigs of lemongrass. Are you supposed to remove them, and if so, is there any easy way to do so?
I've never tried to make a curry because I've always been afraid of mucking it up, but after this I'll be giving it a try for sure, and Kothu Roti too! Some really good tips here, and I loved this episode. Karan is also so charismatic on video, hopefully there will be more collaborations with him :)
Karan was really cool! Not only knowledgeable, but also excellent at sharing that knowledge! Great cook, great teacher, great personality... Learned a lot today, very grateful!
Finally- this is exactly the kind of thing I search for from a food channel. The expert comparison is so helpful thank you! Also Karan is brilliant in front of the camera would of binge watched a full series if they were made- more please :)
Kottu Roti is what introduced me to Sri Lankan food. Such a great dish for a number of reasons and great to see it getting some airtime on your channel! Karan was charismatic and awesome on camera too. Definitely want to see him again.
At first I started watching sorted videos because i found Ben so cute 😁 later learned lots of new things, today I'm happy to see a SriLankan dish in your show. Lots of love from Sri Lanka ❤️❤️❤️
My grandmother was from Kerala, and the spice blends she would make were never measured and are a family secret :3 but I'm so glad he said that about "curry powder"
Hey Karan, will be sure to check out Hoppers as soon as this COVID situation allows it. My brother has an amazing Sri Lankan curry recipe which he refuses to share with me, so I hope I'll return with something equally amazing at the end of my journeys.
Been looking forward to this episode since you all teased it. Great to see the tips shared, very similar to what my aunties and grandmother taught me growing up, and the technique with the roti and paratha brought back memories of learning how to do that as a child. Can't wait to see what the boys highlight in their chef skills battle!
Oh yay! My favorite restaurant of all time was a (sadly now closed) Sri Lankan place in Toronto. String hoppers was my go-to dish there. I'd love to know how to make them.
Loved the side by side of the normals versus a professional chef. It is sort of like when they try to taste a dish with regular and expensive ingredients, but this version is all about technique. I could see some badges awarded or revoked here. ❤
I'm so happy that learning to make curry from Ansley and the Red Dwarf crew wasn't listed as a mistake... my family's favorite way to eat leftover curry is to make it into pizza. It was my niece's idea and it was a keeper. I know we are weird 🤣
Karan is absolutely amazing on camera, so so charismatic. Gotta bring him back for a chef skills battle
We're so glad you like him.... and his food is 👌👌👌
He seemed a good fit with the guys. Similar sense of humour too.
Completely agree.
He is lovely and so informative! Very glad to see these professional judges who are obviously there to promote their businesses, but also there to educate.
yeah, he was awesome. Very informative, natural teacher
For a non like UA-camr, Karan had some really good screen presence. Didn't stammer on his words a lot and never felt awkward in a conversation. Definitely one of the better guests you guys have had.
And he didn't comment while they were making their dish, he kept that for after they were done
I'll bet he's taught a fair few "class style" lessons through the years, that's generally how I see teachers act, they let you go and only stop you if you're going to really mess up.
What's wrong with a stammer? For some of us it's something we can't avoid
@@borandiUK Nervousness isn't a medical condition bro. If you're stammering it's because you lack the confidence or charisma.
@@Toastybees stammering isn't caused by nervousness, lack of charisma or confidence
Haha, I don't know if that "blooper" at the end was staged or not but Barry's face & tone of voice was a peach.
Karan has good screen presence, very relaxed in front of the camera, would be good to see him back as a guest again. Was great to see him build the curry the way he did.
Despite Baz's efforts to "Help".
I'd wager it's not staged, but that Ebbers has deliberately gone for the OTT innuendo and then Baz has played up to it because they know how to please their audience!
Barry’s face during the blooper off cut thing has got to be one of my favourite parts of the entire video.
Haha, his face was classic.
He was horrified and I felt it... 😳
@@janmay3901 "He shouldn't have said that. He should NOT have said that."
"We're rolling..." as if it mattered to Ebbers in the slightest.
Karan seems like such a lovely guy. Also, this video genuinely was very helpful!
We're glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching!
Barry’s look of pure horror when Ben says “same thing as when you wrestle - you oil up so you don’t stick”😆 Epic moment
😂😂😂😂 we are rolling……. 🙄
The things Ebbers can say with a perfectly straight face...
They're definitely thinking: Does Ebbers want to wrestle us greco-roman style right now?
And which olive oil is the best to rub yourself in for this type of activity?
thats very random
Barry looks so disturbed by that comment loll
I love that Ben and Karan refrained from saying ANYTHING while the (un)Holy Trio made their meal first ^*^
Got to say guys - this format is a winner. So much theory & practical info in one video.
- You help us by summarising the 3 main mistakes people make with a dish
- normals cooking on their own with no interruptions from chefs (to show real life)
- then pro chef doing & explaining it step-by-step, with each normal helping
- then a recap re the mistakes & tips
- then a leftovers recipe
Just LOVE this approach in addition to the other video concepts. It’s like Ben’s ‘like a chef’ short fri videos, but with you all. Can’t wait for the next one...
Yeah this could be a new video concept
What a laid back and kind expert! I liked him :)
Karan is amazing.... fantastic chef too!
The “Holy hell, what have they done?” look in Karan’s eyes at 5:01 is the only time you can see behind his cool demeanor.
Wow, Karan broke it down so well. I am Sri Lankan but learnt to cook mostly on my own. The step of "cook till the oil seperates"? That took me several years to understand. In the beginning I used to stop the process too early and later on ended up using too little oil. I am a little envious that this "hard earned" knowledge was dropped in within two sentences,😆 So very well done.

I'm 83 and never too old to learn new techniques, and I really like this explanation for making good curry. BTW, just curious, why is Ebbers the only one you call by his last name?! It does seem appropriate somehow, lol.... I hope you all stay such good mates, it's something precious. Love to all from Canada
More of this, please. I feel like I really learned a lot here.
Just had to cook this. Couldn't get a hold of pandan and curry leaves, still tasted amazing. The method just makes such a difference.
I love the fact that Sorted have been able to grow and begin to form relationships with other special guests who can provide expertise and new knowledge, and it’s always a bonus when they’re not camerashy and instead energetic and entertaining. It’s nice seeing people like Karan appearing in multiple videos with different themes as a guest, benefits both parties and it’s nice seeing the guys grow and expand and form relationships with local chefs as well!
This was super cool to see the small differences between just techniques between a couple items like the spices and the veg can make in an end result. I'm definitely going to use some of these techniques for some curries. I always love the Friday episodes because they are usually so much more informative with cooking techniques and concepts.
Can sorted please post a video on Fridays again,they just lift the mood up because sorted videos are great
Really enjoyed this. Got married in Sri Lanka nearly 3 decades ago. Did a tour of as much of the island as we could (Tamil Tigers were a big issue in the North East). I ate the local food relentlessly when it was offered - sadly some of our co-tourists resorted to the 'egg and chips' lack of adventure. I loved the food and I'd be keen to hear Karans perspective on what is uniquely Sri Lankan vs. the multitude of different Indian (and Pakistani) food regionally variants.
not at all to take away from everyone else, but Karan is purrrty
Karan's technique with the roti dough is magical.
That last bit at the end.. Perfect.. Absolutely perfect.
Loved this! Bring him Back! He’s charming and a joy to watch!
I really appriciate that he talks about curry from the different regions being different...vastly... That's one of the generalisation everyone makes when they peg Sri Lankan food.
Oh my gosh Karan!!! What a delightful addition and he clearly gets on brilliantly with the others. More please!!!
You sound like you're smitten :)
I like how Karan doesn’t insult other curries or show how their way of cooking is wrong but shows how to make curries better with the same ingredients. I would love to see a chef skills battle of them making curry
Love this. If I am allergic to coconut, what other oil and milk can I use to get the same results?
You should do allergy replacement episode.
The most common mistake I see people make with curry is following a recipe from India when what they really want to make is British Indian curry. They are completely different cuisines. Chicken tikka masala doesn't exist in India, and even the dishes which do share the same name use different spices and textures and levels of sweetness.
Actually chicken tikka masala is on the menu of most restaurants in India... It's a very common dish..
@@xxxrazorsharpxxx yes but the actual dish is way different in taste and spices as the original comment said.
Yep. Anglo curries, I call them.
Just sat down and this popped up! What a great way to start the weekend! Thank you Sorted!
Happy Friday 😎
@@SortedFood The same! I shall enjoy trying out the curry tips on Sunday!
The MOST COMMON Mistakes when Making a James Currie
(sorry not sorry)
Letting him leave is the most common mistake. :(
Number one: Not having the last name Currie
Not making a James Currie.
Barry's face in that blooper 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love this format, please do it again!
Loved this video. The tips that Karan gave reminded me so much of what my mother, aunts and grandmother taught me.
I love this so much. Have tried to make it a couple of times now and the video was pretty clear on all the steps. One thing i am a bit confused by is the whole spices and sprigs of lemongrass. Are you supposed to remove them, and if so, is there any easy way to do so?
This guy is a natural on camera. Relaxed, confident, and he makes sure to look at the CAMERA frequently, not whoever he's talking to.
I love this format. I've learned a lot. Gonna try make my mom's curry recipe but using the tips from this video.
Loved this video! Love from Sri Lanka!
I love having a third episode during the week from you guys! Please keep doing it 😊
I've never tried to make a curry because I've always been afraid of mucking it up, but after this I'll be giving it a try for sure, and Kothu Roti too! Some really good tips here, and I loved this episode. Karan is also so charismatic on video, hopefully there will be more collaborations with him :)
Karan was really cool! Not only knowledgeable, but also excellent at sharing that knowledge! Great cook, great teacher, great personality... Learned a lot today, very grateful!
I really like this format. More please!
Finally- this is exactly the kind of thing I search for from a food channel. The expert comparison is so helpful thank you! Also Karan is brilliant in front of the camera would of binge watched a full series if they were made- more please :)
Great format!! I’d love to see more like this!!
That was fabulous. Loved it.
I really liked seeing same ingredients/same amount differences. As a home cook, it's interesting to see how different techniques can vary a dish.
Kottu Roti is what introduced me to Sri Lankan food. Such a great dish for a number of reasons and great to see it getting some airtime on your channel! Karan was charismatic and awesome on camera too. Definitely want to see him again.
At first I started watching sorted videos because i found Ben so cute 😁 later learned lots of new things, today I'm happy to see a SriLankan dish in your show. Lots of love from Sri Lanka ❤️❤️❤️
I made the curry yesterday and it was amazing!
Would really like more 'Common mistakes' videos!
What a guy he is! Can tell he’s a genuinely lovely dude. Next time I’m in London I’ll try get there.
My grandmother was from Kerala, and the spice blends she would make were never measured and are a family secret :3 but I'm so glad he said that about "curry powder"
Fantastic episode guys. Even if I dont take away an actual recipe I learn techniques and flavor combinations.
If this becomes a new show/episodic series, I would LOVE it. It's really cool to see and learn so many touch ups to what everyone THINKS is correct!
The curry I had in Jaffna was the hottest curry I encountered in Sri Lanka. Really wakes you up in the morning.
Yum! I guess I know what I’m having for dinner this weekend ❤️
You won't regret it 😉
Karan is brilliant. More of him please!!!
loved this so much and Karan being a fan of the channel was so genuine and lovely to see. That curry looked so delicious!
Hey Karan, will be sure to check out Hoppers as soon as this COVID situation allows it. My brother has an amazing Sri Lankan curry recipe which he refuses to share with me, so I hope I'll return with something equally amazing at the end of my journeys.
Loved the video guys, so much so I'm cooking the curry with my Dad tomorrow.
Great video! Love the idea of having a professional in a particular cuisine come in and give tips to improve what we are doing at home 😊
That was lovely, I love learning about new foods from different countries especially different ways to make curry ❤️
Been looking forward to this episode since you all teased it. Great to see the tips shared, very similar to what my aunties and grandmother taught me growing up, and the technique with the roti and paratha brought back memories of learning how to do that as a child. Can't wait to see what the boys highlight in their chef skills battle!
Oh yay! My favorite restaurant of all time was a (sadly now closed) Sri Lankan place in Toronto. String hoppers was my go-to dish there. I'd love to know how to make them.
Loved the side by side of the normals versus a professional chef. It is sort of like when they try to taste a dish with regular and expensive ingredients, but this version is all about technique. I could see some badges awarded or revoked here. ❤
I'm so happy that learning to make curry from Ansley and the Red Dwarf crew wasn't listed as a mistake... my family's favorite way to eat leftover curry is to make it into pizza. It was my niece's idea and it was a keeper. I know we are weird 🤣
Always a nice surprise on a friday, guys!
A TGIF treat! An extra video. Yay
