This reminds me of that Negrodomus sketch on Chappelle Show where Paul Mooney was talking about American movies portraying foreign cultures, like "The Last Samurai, featuring Tom Cruise." Here we have, "How to cook Biriyani, presented by white people."
Well, for every white chef doing "their biryani", there are countless non European/American chefs making crappy French or Italian food, or cheese burgers.
This guy obviously loves and has the utmost respect for indian food and through that you can tell he respects indian culture as well. But fuck him, hes white lol
@@peachmelba1000 Cultural appropriation and racism are not 2 way streets, they only work in one direction. Those with access to privilege and power benefit from privilege and exert that power (often without realizing, but ignorance is not a valid excuse, sorry!). When those with more access to privilege and power mock or look down on and often oppress the people with less access, along with their cultures, religions, food, art, clothing, etc... it hurts and further disadvantages those people. When those same qualities of marginalized people are taken up by the majority (power not numbers) or global north and treated as exotic, this is both cultural appropriation and orientalism. These are all facets of racism. Its time to wake up buddy. Being racist unintentionally, doesn't make it okay just because you didn't mean to. White people, denying cultural capital to BIPOC folks and then stealing it for their own use or to add to their own cultural capital is heinous and disgusting! "Cheap and boring", smelly, stinky, too spicy, ugly, gross, disgusting; these words and more are what we heard from you lot, growing up, referring to our food. Now that its cool, white people want to be part of it AND TAKE OWNERSHIP? That doesn't fly... Same thing with yoga- 'you pakis are weird, why do you donthat meditation and strange stretching stuff, ' but now that its cool... white people think they're enlightened because they've discovered our 1000 yr old traditions, which they tried to wipe out and call savage and uncivilized. If your colonization projects to civilize us savages were more effective, there would be no Biryani or yoga for you to exoticise, orientalize and monetize today!
@@zishansyed8905 Jesus dude, I implied the guy's biryani was crap, just as some other chefs of non European descents' lasagnes or paella might be as well. He has every right to prepare, cook, and sell it, but he should know better. Where I live there are no "ethnic" (a word I loathe btw) restaurants that are just run by a white person, well meaning or otherwise. In that sense, I'm lucky that I can get the real deal, whether it be Indian, Chinese (but you have to ask for traditional fare), Ethiopian, Greek, Lebanese, etc etc. You've made the mistake of assuming that all white people think and behave in the same manner, so think again if you thought I'm the kind of white person who pretends to play the didgeridoo with a mūsala, thus simultaneously mocking two cultures at once. _She's_ been around the world a few times likely, and she still acts a fool. I won't and don't think that every brown or Asian person is a victim, especially since there are such appalling class and caste issues in many of those societies, and I _know_ that not all white people are insensitive, power wielding dickheads. If I were a good enough chef, I'd be hopeful that I could make something representing my cultural heritage that people would love and crave enough to say, "Let's just leave the Acadian French fare to that guy, and btw his Fricot with dumplings and braised chicken is so good, let's go there now". That's exactly how I feel about Pho Huang Ming, and Taste of India, and Nami Sushi, and Korea Garden in my hometown, as well John's Lunch (an old school "white" diner) for medium rare burgers, fried seafood, milkshakes, and big greasy breakfasts (once in a while).
Ok this guy is crazy for biryani, I can see that. Although he got the preparation almost right, but few things are just not right: 1. The rice was overboiled already before putting to dum, and was soggy and broken when served. 2. Ghee is a must. Olive oil or even butter can't replace ghee. 3. He could have followed the traditional method of putting the handi (clay pot) in dum (slow cooking), rather than popping it in the oven. 4. Nobody uses a gold leaf like that, just to be thrown in the garbage.
@@thedetached6238 but tomato is added in many versions of biryani in South India, also corriander leaves and mint leaves. But Awadhi Biryani doesn't have any of these ingredients, you're right about that.
2. Exactly! olive oil has no place in any desi cuisine, whatsoever! Butter, ghee and maybe ground nut (peanut) oil or something flavourless for high temperature cooking.
I know right....if anything some people don't like it because they are scared of the spices or because it is so different from what they are used to eating.
I'd rather eat at that restaurant they kept saying was so good
Every Indian state have there unique way of cooking briyani. What's important is the rice should soak all the flavours like a sponge.
That rice was seriously over cooked before it went in the pot..
That gold leaf just looked out of place
the fuck with that gold leaf? HAHAHAHA

peachmelba1000 yes but atleast they address where it’s coming from and not get the country wrong

Is there any particular reason for overcooking the rice so much?
Another interesting take on an ubiquitous dish, turning it into an elegant show stopper. Thanks!
YOURE SITTING IN A PAKISTANI RESTARAUNT CALLING IT INDIAN FOOD YAAR.
exactly, what kind of blindness is this!
it seems to me that he overcooked the rice...
Maybe shouldnt put the stick on the ground if youre gonna pound spices with it
the stick has two ends
Carlos Fernandes but then the other side is touching dirty air! I always like to dip my food in bleach just to make sure.
Kinda want to fly over there and try some of this.
Wait till you try indian food from india or malaysia 😩😩💯
AWESOME

And they added tomato, biryani and tomato are world apart. Never never add tomato in any of the biryani
