About Me:
Chef Keith’s exciting take on Indian cuisine uses his passion for the spices and flavors of the Indian subcontinent with fresh, seasonal ingredients from New England farms to create a dining experience like no other.
Years ago, he dipped a charred piece of bread into a rich gravy that soaked each crumb like a sponge. He raised it to his mouth and closed his eyes, and that is where his journey began.
Chef Keith is a three-time author, restauranteur, and public speaker who grew up in a small city in New Hampshire in the United States. Growing up in kitchens, he learned how to cook from many amazing western chefs. Each chef would impart the knowledge passed down to them by their mentors. It wasn’t until much later in life that he would try his first bite of Indian food. He began learning under an Indian home cook and went on to study with food archeologists and historians from across India.
Keith is the co-host of the More Than Masala Podcast as well as the chef owner of Aatma Restaurant & The Farmers Dinner. He is also the author of 4 best selling cookbooks

It really is!
Chef you are very humble and accepting in nature.. in todays world when everyone is up each others dash you are very refreshing and heartwarming to watch you.. Dont change, Stay like that... 🙌❤️
Ty my friend. Means so much to me
This indian gentlemen is truly a knowledgeable foodie, he has taken u to the best of Mumbai Street food corners possible ❤
He is amazing
You absolutely have to, have to try these in Mumbai (if you can spare some time from your busy schedule):
1. Chicken Lollypop - Cafe Shalimar
2. Rumali roti and Chicken Bhuna - Bademiyan
3. Kheer - Crystal
4. Butter chicken and roti - Gokul
5. A1 Gajraj chai - Gajrat Tea Stall, Near Haji Ali.
6. Chicken Nargis and Rumali Roti - Cafe Noorani, Tardeo, Haji Ali
7. Chicken Kolhapuri, Roti, and Sol Kadi - Aatmashanti, Saat Rasta
8. Chicken/Mutton Curry + Plain rice - Taste of Kolkata, Kandivali West. (Before going there, call them beforehand and ask them which one they made fresh, they make either chicken or mutton fresh on a given day). Taste to die for.
9. Sitaphal Icecream - Naturals (Its a chain, you will find it anywhere, just Google the nearest one).
Thank me later. From someone who lived in Mumbai once, now missing it after watching your videos in Birmingham, AL.
What an amazing list. Thank you my friend
Keep exploring will hit 1 million subs soon
I hope to inspire people. If subscribers come, it will help me do that. Ty my friend
Those dishes were unreal and this video format is the best.
Glad you like them!
Great video again Keith! Thank you for being our culinary ambassador!
So kind my friend but just a student with a passion
Kolkata is where you need to go to eat aurhentic pan indian food. Theres a reason why- kolkata was the first capital of india , before delhi. So the public migrated with their local cooks to kolkata back when trade was done via ships. When those people migrated elsewhere, their cooks stayed behind and started food businesses there. You will find really good pan indian food in kolkata.
I can’t wait to go.
Keith, watching your videos about exploring new cuisines across the world is a phenomenal experience. It's like storytelling about food culture. Your dedication to your journey of exploration is commendable.
Thank you so much. I’m really enjoying sharing it all with everyone
Wow. The amount of passion you have for India is truly incredible ❤. Wish you all the success for your endeavors
Thank you so much 😀
Now that's a proper exploration of a city 😄 going into some deep and very local areas and finding various gems especially in foods is a worth atrip to any new place. And it just gets bigger when you are a chef !!! Kudos to you Keith 🤘👌
PS: Loved how you are just soaking all in like a sponge 🤘
Indian food is like an ocean, or a rainforest! Endless varieties
We have different food for different occasions, conditions, climate, weather seasons, for fasting, for treatment... One can never say that he/she had tried it all 😅
The place is "Bohri Mohalla" Keith, and I was there just day before buying food , I stay close by and I am there almost every day, had I known about your visit would've definitely caught up..the Malai Khaja you should have tried there at "Shabbirs Tawakkals" better than Noor's as per my preference but to each his own I guess...
Thank you. Kurush told us all about the Bohri community. It was amazing to learn
Which street are they eating on?
Unfortunately, malpua is only available during Ramzan. Right?
@sanjayvaidya4925 the street is called Bohri Mohalla , it's at Bhendi Bazaar Mumbai 400003
Indian is truly food heaven
5.48 The area you were eating is known as Kumbharwada near the Mohamad Ali Road. That whole area is Feast heaven for Non Veg food,Specially during the month of Ramdhan.Welcome to Aamchi Mumbai.😊

Places to eat at in Mumbai:

Hahah. Ty my friend
@@chefKeithSarasin , thanks for pinning my comment in one of your videos. 🙏
Love your passion for Indian food. I like how you continue to take inspiration and elevate Indian dishes. Your appreciation for the food can be felt through the screen. Hoping to eat at one of your restaurants one day.
So nice of you! Thank you so much! It would be an honor to serve you.
Good job Keith!
I just saw your last video Keith. I live in Pune so I'm about an hour away from Lonavala😅. Wish I could meet you.
I have been a subscriber since you had around 300 subs , its great to see how far you've come.
Hope you are having a great time here and I wish you all the best for your journey ahead❤❤❤

Randomly came to see your video and started loving your channel as well as your voice.
Welcome aboard!
I m really jealous of u having such a awesome food trip...
My mouth was water all throughout the video
I'm a longtime fan of yours. Always love your content and YOU!!
I'm so happy your channel is growing and getting views. As Indians we all love when westerners taste the authentic flavours of India. Hence we watch these kind of videos.
But I really want Westerners to watch and learn from these videos and am sure they can learn more than sufficient about India through your channel about our food, culture etc.
I appreciate your passion towards our food and culture.
Greetings from HYDERABAD🙏 (hope you try our authentic Hyderabad biryani soon which you tried from Chef Mak!!)
Hey bhai!! Thank you so much. I cannot tell you how much messages like this mean to me. I am just one person here who edits, and tries hard to use this platform to showcase not only my love for desi cuisine but also the great amount of respect I have for it.
Thank you sir for having Indian food
Two Thumbs up 👍👍. Keep exploring there's lot more to discover. Good luck.
Thank you, I will
Thank u Keith
Always!! ♥️♥️♥️
if you love mumbai ...what will happen once you visit Kerala / Hyderabad / Lucknow / Varanasi / Kolkata ( to name a few ! ) for ITS OWN UNIQUE FOOD CULTURES & TASTES .....Please spend atleast 6 months .....to really get 'SATISFIED' with what India has to offer .....:) or come 5 times back and forth for these specific places ...but you will need somebody like Dr. Kurush Dalal in each of these places ..and the BEAUTY IS THERE ARE PEOPLE like him in each City if you cast a wide net through your contacts : ) Best of luck for your culinary adventures .....Great Video !
The country of India is actually a continent itself.
Seriously, India alongwith its neighbours are known as Indian subcontinent specially because of the diversity which exists in India and its neighbours.
Great effort 👌 ❤❤
This is muhammod Ali road bhendi bazar South Mumbai and this neighbourhood is of Afghani and Irani people they came to India before partition of India
Ty my friend. I really enjoyed this road trip
whoaaa!!!!!! the voice is so smooth...like rasgulaasss!!!!😁🤩🙃
Haha Ty
Wait till you try the “Kalu’s Dori Kebab” in old Delhi. The thread literally holds the meat on the skewers and melts in your mouth.
If you do happen to visit Delhi, please don’t go to Karims and Jawahar for food. But, do check with Mr Sapra of Delhi Food Walks. He knows the nooks and crannies of old Delhi food joints.
Wowwwww
This is bohri mauhla, Mohd. Ali Road, Mumbai
If u are still in Mumbai than try local maharashtrian food.. From north konkan i.e. Panchkalashi, choukalshi, prabhu, agri, and Koli..
Very few Indians also unknown about their unique dishes which are fish with different types of vegetables..
Hey Keith.. Your videos made me so home sick.. I am really flying to Mumbai next week. I just want to eat the real deal at home... My home is Mumbai. Thanks.... Your videos cost me a pretty penny as I now am coming home... but its all worth it!! If you come to the Bay Area, California.. please come home... You will enjoy the real deal 'desi' food at my home
Ty my friend. I hope to take you up on this offer
@@chefKeithSarasin you're very welcome. My wife and I both are from Mumbai. We've been living in California for 30 odd years. We will prepare Mumbai Maharashtrian food ... Both Veg and Non Veg. You've never tasted Sukka Mutton (dry Mutton) which is from Satara and Kolhapur region of Maharashtra state. Do drop in for a series of meals...
The best butter chicken I had tasted in Bombay was at Grand Central restaurant in Chembur, which was unique. 😮I have not been there recently, but for many years people used to generally agree that used to be a unique and best butter chicken ever. Hopefully I get to try it again soon and it has not lost its Standard
Oh wow!
Wonderful!❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi ,I am not sure how I landed in this space🥳Your channel has such a positive vibe☺️☺️☺️I have lived in Multiple cities in India and would urge you to make a couple more culinary trips ..North-East,Delhi and then the South.Love from Melbourne Aus☺️Happy Holidays!
Keith @05:51 the area I think it's Bohri Mohalla.. Cluster of the Bohri Muslim community, famous for Legendary food stalls...
Yes!!! Ty so much
For Indo-Chinese and Indian rolls, the place to be is Kolkata in Eastern India. That's where it originated and where you can find authentic chinese food too made by actual chinese origin people. India's only Chinatown is in the same city.
The place where U were eating - Bara Handi is - Bohri Mohalla, Kumbharwada, Mumbai
Ty
wow, they way you describe food taste and aroma fantastic, one thing i want to you tell that every 50km food taste will change across india
Yes, you are right
Ah you took me back home for a few minutes. Try the Malvani Seafood too.
u make us droll. not every Indian r capable of exploring food like u do. just enjoy n be safe
Wonderful!!! Next time also do Pancham Pooriwala at VT station
@10:41 "he prepares indian food in US and we are trying to teach him indian food is not only just about butter chicken and masala dosa there are countless food items. So there (in US) he mainly prepares meat items like nihari ; so he is here for the first time, we are showing him as many places as possible in mumbai which are best of the best places known to me, so i told him you prepare the best of the best jalebi here, if he eats from here he will never be able to enjoy jalebi from any other place(its so good) so its heartbreaking you are not making jalebi.."
Thank you!!! My Hindi is ok so I understood some of it.
3:10 observe how the lady customer takes over to stir the chai as the chaiwalah was busy serving other clients.
Hahaha I noticed that when I was there. I was so confused.
@@chefKeithSarasinShe is trying to make sure the tea doesn't get burnt while he is filling her cup. Such camaraderie is only in India 😅
Keith was nice to watch you enjoy Mumbai with Kurush. Hope you got to try some Parsi cuisine too.
So much amazing g Parsi cuisine!!
dude i cant watch your videos anymore, i keep on salavating😋😋
haha noooo. You are stuck here now!! Family my friend, you are now part of the family!
you need to visit APMC in Vashi, Navi Mumbai. Try Sea food too in Mumbai Keith.
I tried all these when i was growing up in mumbai ( bombay ) india
That is awesome! Such a treat!
You should go to east.
Start with kolkata then Assam and rest.
You will see a different 🇮🇳
THums Up ultimate and Kebabs Raw red Chillis.. He has all the red chillies from SOUTH Too...
Keith, are you planning on still opening your restaurant in the States? I am from the Canadian Prairies but I will make a trip out East for eating food prepared by you brother. Following your journey for some time and I know you are putting soul in your cooking. Cheers bud!
Hey there! First, thank you. Seriously, from the bottom of my heart, I cannot say how much this means to me.
Secondly, yes, still working on funding but hopefully by the end of next year.
biryani and masala dosa top two most popular food in India. best places for biryani are in India- Hyderabad, Kolkata, Lucknow, Kerala. for masala dosa best places -Bengaluru, Mysuru, Chennai, Udupi. in India same food tastes different in different places with different species so try as much you can.
You should try 'The Maratha Kitchen' in goregaon, Mumbai. One of the best restaurant for authentic maharshtrian dishes. Feied fish, Checken, Zunka Bhakar, Soulkadhi etcc....
I miss mumbai and our street food 😢
I already miss it!
Wonderful Chef Keith..The more you meet people you know more the history behind food. Most food in subcontinent has a history behind it for its making..It's made because of the need of the time and availability too. You would be astonished to know if Kurush Dalal has told you about..For eg Pav Bhaji and Vada pav history.
Absolutely has. The history behind these dishes are the fuel for my passion. I hope to share so much more
@@chefKeithSarasin Pav bhaji was made for the textile workers an affordable meal during lunch time when they couldn't afford going home for lunch (due to lunch hr being small).. all veggies mixed together to create something healthy.
With vada pav..some snack for the workers of textile which is fulfilling. Did you know some did actually eat vada pav as lunch/dinner as it was affordable too at times..
Loving to see you enjoying the food with history.. what was the experience of your sous chef on the food and experience would love to hear his experience considering its his first exposure..
Amazing missing food from India
Me too!
@@chefKeithSarasin Please do some more videos on food experiences all over India like Bangalore, New Delhi, Kerala , Lucknow, Punjab etc
Chef I would love to see you go around India, I do not know if it is possible with your schedule but I believe many of us will eagerly anticipate you trying and breaking down food of Kerala, West Bengal and hopefully North East too.
So this is the big goal of the channel. To share history, dishes and lost recipes. Right now I don’t have the ability to do it but hopefully through working hard here and my jobs, I will have the opportunity to share it all with you.
I've been following through your tiktok posting lows, I can see you as another Anthony Bourdain with your genuine passion, intellect, and charm. I'm serious! Being a boots-on-ground documentarian of niche Indian cuisine is a really cool idea, especially in the changing world and kinda capturing a snapshot of culture and food in this time.
I can even see it growing into a celebrity career in India/worldwide as a historian if you do the rigor and research on the production side as well bec you've already got the heart for it. You're doing really unique stuff!
A channel with similar goals I see who's depth and interdisciplinary nature would be a great frame to adopt who's doing something similar is miniminutemen who is taking the travel documentary style to ancient ruins but intermixes geology, anthropology, sociology, history, geography, ethics, etc into the videos. sorry for the info dump haha I just got excited by your comment :D @@chefKeithSarasin
Plz make long videos,at least 45 minutes...njoy variety food in mumbai coz many people came here to earn money frmeach every states of india.... that's why u can explore food lots...njoy ur journey in India..luv ur expression whn u both test food...luv ur vlog❤❤❤
Extraordinary food from Bora Mohalla, Mumbai
I agree. Incredible place
You must visit remote village. That is the real indian food hidden indian gem farm fresh meals
❤
yaaassszzz 😋 Bro's just getting started for Indian Cuisine.. awaiting the epic journey ahead.
Wanna see each region. I can only speak on behalf of the south, but yah, soo many things to try.
Very soon!
I am a Surti and believe me , that method of cooking should be a geographical indication tag !!
There is a lot of famous vegeterian food palces in mumbai .for example Sardar pavbhaji and Pancham Puri wala u should try u .😊
Will try
the area is called Bhindi Bazaar near Mohammed Ali Road
Hey Keith :
I guess you have had an opportunity to try out some very rare, wild and delicate food stuff. Such an experience of rare gems can only be made available by food coonesiuers.
Am very happy to the lovely Indian couple taking you to such inique places with delectable items to taste.
Enjoy and have a good time my friend. Am sure you will carry back memories of such a life time experience that you learnt in your journey to India.
You are a flag bearer who can popularize some of the dishes back in the US, as-is or with a twist.
All the very best !!!
Paddy, Gurgaon India
Ty my dear friend. I appreciate you
I think you are a good gye.❤❤ And i have respect for you in my heart.
Try misal pav.... You will definitely love it
Had it. It’s soooooo good
Do check out Kerala, India's sea food capital and meat lover's paradise. And you can find all kinds of meat dishes over there, including beef.
You were in Mohammad Ali Road - pydhonie
Keith, how was your " Thumps up" cold drinks experience? 😊
My favorite drink haha
Keith, while in Mumbai do locate a restaurant which serves Karnataka coastal food - veg and non veg. The menu is endless. My favourites - prawn ghee roast, Kundapuri chicken, neer dosa........etc
Yummmmm
I feel in india every daay is new day in westren countries is same in all the year
"The French are doing it wrong". Never thought I'd hear those words from a chef trained in classical French cuisine.
I missed Indian food in Berlin. Even Indian restaurants do not use required spices, naturally to meet the local customers.
That’s a shame
❤❤
Brother if you got time visit surat , Gujarat you will be surprised by how many varieties of eggs dishes we have . You can just eggs dishes every day and never get bored of it
Sounds great!
Your Parsi friends are well known to endow and rejoice a lot of Mumbai food spots 👍
Yes, true
Keith.. If you want a little different taste then try Sardar Pao Bhaji in Tardeo. Ask your local guide to take you there. You have never tasted anything like that...
I’ve heard a lot about that place. Ty.
If you plan to come to Uttarpradesh (an north Indian State) ... I'll be happy to host you !
Ty my friend
@@chefKeithSarasin ❤️
I trust you have experienced the flavors of Maharashtrian cuisine, such as Kalhapuri Sukka Mutton (dry), Tambada Rassa (red stew), and Pandhara Rassa (white stew). Additionally, dishes like Malvani Fish Curry, Malvani Fish Fry, and Fish Koliwada are noteworthy. I recommend exploring these authentic dishes. The ones featured in your recent video aren't traditional Mumbai dishes, as the individuals preparing them have migrated from North India, specifically Delhi to Uttar Pradesh, and resettled in Mumbai. If you are still in India, I encourage you to revisit Mumbai-Maharashtra or consider featuring Maharashtrian cuisine in your future travels. Thank you for your content, and I appreciate the engaging background commentary. 🎉
Many of these yes but also SO much more to discover!
Indian food are best
I watched this whilst eating a chickpea ans spinach curry, total coincidence but completely appropriate. At Least I was not drooling at this one.
Hahaha. You get it!
Mumbai has best food from across India... And i stayed in north for 2 years and yes I say that proudly... Not all over maharashtra... But specifically Mumbai you will get mouth watering food which no where in India you will get. 😊
I really enjoyed the food of Mumbai. I’m hoping I get the change to explore more regions too
Kurush is very nice human
He’s amazing
Indian food is king of worlds food😋😋😋😋😋😋😋
Agree
kudos....even a mumbaite will have a tough time navigating streets of masjid bunder...ur brave😀
You must visit few other places in india for cuisines you have never tasted.Explore North East,Himachal,kerala,Goa along with Kolkata,Delhi and jaipur,This is minimum that i can say about.Infact entire India is full of surprises in terms of culture and food.
TRY Malabari cuisine, Syro Catholic cuisine, Tribal cuisine in Kerala, Chettinad cuisine, Vegetarian cuisine from Tamil nadu
Hi Keith I have subscribed u since you used to tell the stories of the gujrati lady
