I agree with her dosas are one of the tastiest things ever. I had my first dosa in Bengaluru years ago and fell in love with them. I was so stoked when I started to see them really pick up in popularity around the US in the past decade, they deserve to be well known because they're too good not to share with the world ha ha. Great video.
Hi, Yeah.. we Bangalorians love dosa..I can eat dosa everyday..! Either morning plain ghee dosa with green Chetni at home. Or in Evening butter masala dosa with lentils chetni & sambar at cafe nearer to my office. awesome. Same routine from 25years... no regret..😂
Nyesha is such a perfect host, she's so respectful and excited, and so knowledgeable too, it's really amazing to see. And this chef is incredible, you can just tell how everyone was having a legitimately good time in the video!
What I love about Nyesha so much is the quality of the questions she asks! Then she nails the techniques. Fresh spices are so key to good cooking, whatever continent you are on!
She’s a stellar chef even though she’s probably a master in her own right in terms of cooking she approaches these things as someone who wants to learn and never tries to outshine KEEP THIS WOMAN ON THIS SHOW!
I worked as a bodyguard and past through India often and absolutely love the street food. What a great vid and loved both of their passion for what they were doing.
@@treesaregreen3009 lol 😂😂😂😂. Thats a new type of fetish I have ever seen. Maybe u thought every bodyguard is same as Salman Khan's character in the film Bodyguard.
Well the potatoes I'm sure were originally something else like a tuber of some plant native to India, since potatoes were introduces to India by the Portuguese in the 17th century.
You can tell how she genuinely wants to learn from the quality of the questions and ask someone who’s naturally curious and asks a lot of questions, i really appreciate that as a viewer. I’ve learned so much about the process from this one video. Really quality stuff. I love cheffe Nyesha, such a smart and authentic, beautiful, woman. Thank you to this chef for sharing such a special recipe and process. Honestly I love this, it’s about the food, and their personalities naturally shine. I love it.
i really loved this combo!!!! chef nyesha had such good energy -- so much positivity and enthusiasm and loved the connection she brought to other ethnic cultures; would love to see her in a video with other cuisines as well :) and chef vijay was such a sweetie! great duo, and personally really enjoyed two poc learning together
After 23 1/2 years in the bar and restaurant business, I’ve owned a handyman company for the past 3 years. The blade they’re using is the same one I use to do drywall. Of course Nyesha is great; this chef’s energy and positivity SHINES! He makes me want to try something I haven’t had before bc he’s so supportive and knowledgeable. Knowledge is learned, passion is inherent. Love love love
The taste comes from making and eating with bare hands unlike gloves. The love and positive energy you put in the food results into a masterpiece. The chef is so nice and kind and the host is also very spiritual. Loved the show
@@Swapna9 lol yes, my mother makes the batter for idlis and dosas herself with a wet grinder and back at my grandmas place they make the batter with stone grinder,both requires the usage of barehands,unless ofcourse u use gloves.
She's an incredible student/teacher/interviewer/host. She asks great questions and really engages with those she works with. She's always so happy and fun to watch. I wish she had her own show.
A north Indian Restaurant we go to here in the UK does what they call a family Dosa to share, its about three feet long, sometimes a bit bigger, but they role it up, it not only looks good and is cooked to perfection, it also tastes great, its perfect everytime with the masala patatoe... And now I now how those guys in the kitchen do it.
@@ephemeral.793 Have some brain before making a statement.. Not every Indians are poor and mostly everyone can reply to a english conversation and most of the Indians can speak english very well. FYI India is one of the highly english speaking country
As an Englishman I love Indian food. As an English guy that moved to America I learned to love all things like BBQ, random TexMex and a million other cultural variances that came from living in the SF Bay Area. As a lover of food, I love what different cultures can come together and make. Nyesha showing that she can nail cooking a stuffed Dosas is awesome. Food should be a celebration of life for the family and the more variation we have can only be a good thing. Taste different foods. If you like either enjoy them and eat them again or use them to create something that is your own.
This is the masala dosa video i've been waiting to see for so long, the chef remarkably breaks down each and every element of my most favorite dish from the batter to the chutneys and the way you're supposed to eat it. Perfect.
Masala Dosa is one of my favorite dishes! I try and have it as often as I can here in Pakistan, especially from the street vendors who make it extremely well. I loved the two chef's interaction and Nyesha's personality and attitude is so endearing. Loved this!
asafetida, also known as hing, is a widely used spice in Indian cuisine. Interestingly, this spice originated in Rome, and the Mediterranean. It was used as a substitute for silphium, once silphium went extinct around 300-280 BCE.
As a south Indian I can say, that Dosa is easily one of the best!! It’s all in the batter!! And he’s got that batter right!! Probably Vijay is from Tamil Nadu
Finally a video that exactly to the T represents my home aka a Tamil household. I’m proud. I’m so happy that Chef Nyesha gets to experience this first hand exactly the way its done at home. Much appreciation to everyone’s effort involved in this video!
OMG THE WAY SHE DID IT FOR HER FIRST TIME She ask such good questions clearly showing she understands what information is important She definitely has the hands of a talented craftswoman!
@@BlackMamba-lt8oe Yes we have one, but not the one that he has. In all households we use steel spatulas that have longer handles, and ends that are less wider than the one he used
A great video that inspires me to try new foods and learn from different cultures. Please have more videos with this host in the future. Nyesha had poise, grace, humility, and charisma. She was a great host and interviewer.
These 2 need a cooking show together. His food looks amazing and her knowledge helped explain the process. They could even switch where she cooks and he assists. Great vibe. Great combo!
South India's breakfast is good enough to wait for supper leaving out lunch. Idli, Dosa, Vada are main items of our breakfast almost in every household daily.
I love her and I love seeing this interaction. This is a perfect example of why hiring diverse voices and covering diverse stories makes such a difference. Such observations, relatability, a different worldview, intelligence, unique expertise, cultural exposure, subtle insights only possible by people of color. more of this, please!
i'm from the same part of india as Vijay, the chef and I pretty much make this at least twice a week. BTW, maybe his sambar has 45-50 ingredients and takes 3 hours, but I and most households I know make it with 20 ingredients and an hour or a hour and a half at most.
Chef Nyesha is amazing, I'd never heard of her before this video but what an infectious smile and enthusiasm she has! Amazing chemistry with Chef Kumar as well, the food looked amazing.
If there's one thing I take immense pride in being an Indian is in our food. Massively diverse and delicious. The flavors are complex, overwhelming and appetizing. It's largely due to diverse population with diverse culture and languages. That influence food too.
Dosa is sooooo good ! Proud to be indian ! He is genuinely the most down to earth person I have ever met , that too being a Michelin star chef . We indians do love their food and prepare it with lots of love and flavors and spices
Nyesha is amazing and that chef did make authentic dosas. Here, we preheat the oven, turn it off, then let the dosa mix rise. We use a double fermentation method where you let the dosa mix rise completely the first time. Then you stir it and pop the bubbles, then add water and let it rise a second time. Once you make a large batch of dosa mix, it can keep in the fridge for some time. The consistency of the dosa mix is very important, as is the hand that makes it. Everyone's hand carries some bacteria so each person's dosa will taste slightly different. Dosa in different countries also taste different... There is something in the air. [ There is no yeast in traditional dosa, just your hand and the air]. You can also use a bit of fenugreek in the dosa mix. When I'm flattening the dosa for cooking, I create a little spiral shape with the ladle. So there are some crispy bits and some slightly thicker doughy bits. In this video, the dosa is completely level. When eating, I really mush my dosa with the curries, really mix it well with my fingers. Instead of here, where it's dipped in the chutney like chips into guacamole. So there you go, some differences but it's just each person's preference.
I think the salt should be added post fermentation. I have observed that salt slows fermentation. After 12 hours of fermentation you can add salt, it will slow down your fermentation process and kind of perfects your batter and give it more sour flavor. If anybody has more results please guide me.
They both are awesome people! I love how Nyesha gets everything about the dosa instantly and relishes the whole process and how Vijay turned it into a beautiful experience and yet imparting the details of the dish to her. Great video.
As an South indian I really appreciate the way chef Vijay made the dishes by using traditional method with the correct ingredients...but I do feel kind off disappointed , that he didn't use red onions for the potato masala.😅😅😅
Shallots probably have a much drastic difference in the taste profile. Are the big white ones in the US sweet ? I guess it's just more economical for him to use the white ones. Given onions are used a lot in our food.
I think it's probably due the preference of white onions over red ones in most of the western countries. And I do believe the taste white onions are rather on the sweet side !!@vimal kumar
@@BCM_SNEHAJ Red onions are pricier than white in the UK. It might be the same situation in the US as well. And yes, it is sweeter too. The taste isn’t the same, but its a decent compromise.
Chef Ninja is like a kid in a candy store. So cute. Love how open she is to learn and her reactions are so vibrant. She definitely loves what she does. Gimme more.
The texture of the grind varies a lot if a wet grinder is used rather than mixer used like the one in the video. In most of Indian hotels, they use wet grinders which have actual stone rollers that give the batter different texture & flavour. And also the rice & lentil quantity is huge so using a wet grinder makes more sense.
This is the most amount of love for food that I have seen over the preparation of 1 of my favorite dishes. Thank you Chef Vijay for sharing this recipe and thank you Eater team and Chef Nyesha for making this video possible!
Dosa is a very authentic breakfast dish of South India.His tutorials were spot on. The lady with him most definitely has a passion for cooking.Both the chefs gave a perfect presentation.
Fab, I love indian food and I hope to visit his restaurant!! Love how you enjoyed it and used a beautiful vocabulary to describe his greatness! So envious and subscribed!
I mean Rava Dosa is like a last option dosa in most South Indian household. If you don't have batter or anything else prepared you make Rava Dosa. It's the simplest and no prep dosa of all the dosas
This is brilliant. He's literally cooked it traditional way and he has communicated the recipes and preparation so well. As a South Indian I can vouch for the authenticity.
@sanjith subramanian 😂😂😂😂 he used custom made tools
@sanjith subramanian in india they do it on a 50 rs spatula and a 500 rs grill 😂😂😂😂 and that too triangle shaped

After 12 hours of fermentation you can add salt, it will slow down your fermentation process and kind of perfects your batter and give it more sour flavor.
If anybody has more results please guide me.

Such humility and grace in this video. We have soo much to learn from different cultures, yet we fight over borders.
Omg this one of my childhood favorites. Nice to see restaurants featuring this!
Got me smiling from ear to eye and missing mom's food and my favorite restaurants.
They both are awesome people! I love how Nyesha gets everything about the dosa instantly and relishes the whole process and how Vijay turned it into a beautiful experience and yet imparting the details of the dish to her. Great video.
As an South indian I really appreciate the way chef Vijay made the dishes by using traditional method with the correct ingredients...but I do feel kind off disappointed , that he didn't use red onions for the potato masala.😅😅😅
Shallots probably have a much drastic difference in the taste profile. Are the big white ones in the US sweet ?
I guess it's just more economical for him to use the white ones. Given onions are used a lot in our food.
I believe they're hard to get in US, they mostly cultivate white ones only
I think it's probably due the preference of white onions over red ones in most of the western countries.
And I do believe the taste white onions are rather on the sweet side !!@vimal kumar
@@tsv60 That can be one of the reasons maybe!
@@BCM_SNEHAJ Red onions are pricier than white in the UK. It might be the same situation in the US as well. And yes, it is sweeter too. The taste isn’t the same, but its a decent compromise.
it was so sweet watching chef vijay clapping and cheering he's so humble
Chef Ninja is like a kid in a candy store. So cute. Love how open she is to learn and her reactions are so vibrant. She definitely loves what she does. Gimme more.
They both are so sweet and they are giving such a positive vibes ♥️♥️biggest secret of cooking good food, is making food with good heart
The texture of the grind varies a lot if a wet grinder is used rather than mixer used like the one in the video. In most of Indian hotels, they use wet grinders which have actual stone rollers that give the batter different texture & flavour. And also the rice & lentil quantity is huge so using a wet grinder makes more sense.
Watching them interact really brightened me up. Thank you for such a wonderful video !
Love love love their energy together! I need dosas in my life
Hiring Nyesha was the best decision y'all have ever made. Good job, Eater!
Loved seeing her in Next level Chef Congrats to Pyet for winning 👏
This is the most amount of love for food that I have seen over the preparation of 1 of my favorite dishes. Thank you Chef Vijay for sharing this recipe and thank you Eater team and Chef Nyesha for making this video possible!
Quality dosas are amazing, and leaving you wanting more. Like a Vietnamese crepe but different.
Both of them have a very genuine interest in food making process. Nice to see them collaborate.
Indian food is too much diverse and so exciting.
Masala Dosa! One of the greatest dishes in the world! Awesome to see it featured here.
Chef Nyesha and Chef Vijay made it so interesting and easy. So much positive energy.
Yall got me smiling alone in public with this one. They are so adorable
Dosa is a very authentic breakfast dish of South India.His tutorials were spot on. The lady with him most definitely has a passion for cooking.Both the chefs gave a perfect presentation.
Love the energy from Nyesha, cant wait to see more
omg this was such a wholesome video!! Nyesha was so sweet positive and respectful 😭😭♥️♥️ love honoring other people
Fab, I love indian food and I hope to visit his restaurant!! Love how you enjoyed it and used a beautiful vocabulary to describe his greatness! So envious and subscribed!
Chef Nyesha is so gracefull. And she is really enjoying the tastes.
I love how they just radiate energy. This was a nice video to watch :)
Wow, so cute Chef Nyesha, she is so attentive and full of positive vibes... Both chef are super... Very nice presentation
I love Rava Dosa… with chopped onions, green chili, spices .. not so easy to get even in Asia
I mean Rava Dosa is like a last option dosa in most South Indian household. If you don't have batter or anything else prepared you make Rava Dosa. It's the simplest and no prep dosa of all the dosas
It’s the easiest to prepare at home though.. instant.. no fermentation required
These two seem like genuinely lovely people!
So good to see Chef Nyesha back!!
from fermentation, consistency of batter, getting temperature right, texture, tempering aromatics ... dosa is one heck of a dish for any MasterChef
I never get tired of the masala dosa.. In fact I eat something called 'Paper Masala Dosa', which is bigger and even more crispier, just like paper.
If you loved paper masala dosa, you should try ghee roast, it's sublime
