    I feel like most people say they love Indian cuisine but when asked , we realize all they eat is Samosa, Naan and chicken tikka/butter chicken. Thanks for showing the plethora of options and how to enjoy them 🧡. Also, Rumali roti is supposed to be eaten soft - it's thin, melts in the mouth and very much like a handkerchief, microwaving will harden it. Maybe next time you can try heating it in the microwave cover with a wet paper towel, it would help keep the softness to an extent 👐

      @@BerylShereshewsky It is transliterated as 'rumaali' and not 'roomali', the 'oo' is a short one (in Hindi/ Urdu, 'rumaal' means handkerchief, and by extension, 'rumaali' means 'like a handkerchief''). And yes, while five star rated hotels and some very old and elite eateries in India/ Pakistan do have phenomenally large rumaali rotis, the usual norm is more like the one you had. A rumaali is made on an inverted, 'convex' griddle; the more convex it is, the larger is the surface area, and the larger the bread - and the way the rumaali is made is no less exciting. It is not rolled with a pin like a flatbread, but tossed in the air like a *really wide* pizza base - till (a) it reaches a size that is slightly less than the surface area of that inverted griddle and (b) does not tear in the middle. This is a quick GIF of the process: giphy.com/gifs/roti-chapathi-2tXNo2TXL9kru - check out the fellow at the back.
      An old trick that restaurants in India use to keep rumaali roti soft and 'handkerchief like' is to use two wrappings of aluminum foil. This should keep the roti soft enough for a couple of hours.

    Don’t know if someone has comment on this or not, but always steam “ Rumali Roti” to heat it. It’s already too thin to microwave or heat on a tawa, all the moisture just goes out and it becomes like papad just like in your case.
    A soft and moist rumali is literally like a handkerchief to wipe your plate clean of all the gravy.

    I actually laughed when you were trying the malai kofta, because I’m literally eating malai kofta for lunch with parathe. Rasmalai is definitely delicious, but I usually prefer eating jalebi, ladoo (besan is where it’s at, but boondi is good too), and gajar halwa (gajrela). Gajar halwa is amazing because you can have it hot or cold! However, the king inn my opinion, is Soan Papdi. This yummy pistachioey sugar floss type of dessert that’s super flaky is just love. 😍 Yum yum yum! I think I’ll have to get some rasmalai when I get home.
    As a side note, I definitely appreciate the fact that Indian food isn’t the same throughout India. It’s usually regional based. I’ve grown up with Punjabi/Dehli style cooking since my parents are from those states.

    Beryl i want clarify that chickpea and bengal grams are different and pakoras are made of 'besan' which is Bengal gram flour not chick pea
    In hindi chickpea is kabuli 'chana' and bengal gram is only 'chana'. So, i don't understand why foreigners used chickpea instead of gram. Although gram comes under chickpea family but gram flour would be more appropriate.

Gu louh yuhk was a big part of my childhood and we would always order it at restaurants and the bits of canned pineapple would be the highlight for me.

    This video was simply awesome, sweet and delicious and something very fresh .... Indian food like you said in the beginning is a lot more than some butter chicken ,paneer and naan . There is like a whole national and local variation of many sweet ,spicy crunchy and deliciousness of food which gives you the real authentic Genuine indian taste . Loved that you did enjoy something new and rather opened up to some totally random but insanely good food made with love from different parts of India also liked this creator and subs Collab .

    😋😋😋 Seen several channels recently make Manchurian Gobi and it was already on my list. Your channel has opened up so many new things - love it! I'd love to see videos on Vietnamese and Thai. We always hit the pumpkin curry at our Thai place and should probably be more adventurous. 😊
