These are so interesting to watch. I wish we had classy informative shows like these in America! I would much rather watch this vs. some of the shows on food network. I like the diversity in this program.
@violetshadez Tandoor is originally from the Punjab region,which is presently spread over India and Pakistan. Therefore it can definitely be termed as Indian, similarly the Bengal region is spread over India and Bangladesh , therefore Rasmalai can be termed as Indian too Thats understandable as a few decades back they were part of the same nation Its not that these dishes were discovered after India got divided.They were always a part of Indian cuisine, which is extremely diverse
@thendino1 Thank you for the info, I actually didn't know about the tandoor oven in the Indus Valley. However, we can still conclude that many of the dishes in NW Indian/Pakistan food (Mughlai etc) and later popularization were influenced by Central Asian (Persian) spices/flavours and afterwards adapted to fit the Subcontinental palette right? Also do we have evidence of the type of food used in the Indus Valley and how they used it?
@Sergionewyork Im an Indian and Love Mexican food. You will be surprised to know..here in India..many of the even pure vegetarian restaurants have Mexican Menu...:))
@descentfromhistory Tandoor means Oven in Persia but the oldest examples of a tandoor were found in the Harappa and Mohenjo Daro settlements of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization. In India, it is also known as Bhatti and Tandoori chicken is a roasted chicken delicacy that originated in North Western India. It was made popular during the Muslim ruling dynasties in India.
@redsbleeding2003 Actually no its not, the Tandoor actually originated in Persia, and traveled eastward into the Indian Subcontinent through various ruling Muslim dynasties (most famously the Mughals). Its as popular in various parts of North India as it is in Pakistan and other Central/Western Asian countries like Afghanistan, Turkey, Armenia, Caucusus, etc. Barbecue (or BBQ as you noted) originated in the American South.
When you cook always use good quality products. A good thick greek yoghurt is great. I got that hint from a chef & believe it makes the difference...:)
Its Peshawari Naan not Peshwari Naan and since Peshawar is neither in Afghanistan nor India, but the capital city of Khyber Pukhtunkhwa province of Pakistan, it is an iconic Pakistani dish of the North West. Yes, the subcontinent was one and the countries share a lot of the culture but let's state the origins of the stuff. My Pakistani Pathan friends have more in common with their Afghan neighbours than the Sindhis of Thar dessert in Pakistan but they never own the achievements of Afghans and always own and celebrate the achievements of Sindhis because of the bond of their shared country.
@324582782 Just because Food Safari says so doesn't make it true. They are not the authority on Medieval and ancient history. It did not originate in Pakistan because such a country did not exist before 1947. Modern tandoor influence on the subcontinent stems from the arrival of Islamic Persianized peoples such as the Turks and Mughals. If you watch the Iranian episode of Food Safari they also have tandoors.
@324582782 Where is the evidence saying tandoors originated in Sindh? We have historical evidence showing that the Archaemenid Empire (Persian) from about 500 BC have used tandoors. Either way modern Pakistani use of tandoors only goes back to the early Middle Ages way after the arrival of Islam.
I am from Mexico, and Indian food is one of my favorite cuisines of the world.

In India there are uncounted delicious and unique recipes with delicious taste...
But this host doesn't get a good guide.
I think the tandoor came from iran and not afghanistan....
This the most third grade Dal preparation I have ever seen.
