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 5x 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

Chef, you are totally underappreciated. 😢
Let this fact not deter you from making contents for those of us who love you. Stay strong. ✊
Wow, thank you
What an amazing host; he knew exactly where to take you. Lalbaug is famous for its spices in Mumbai. Every Maharashtrian, and even people from other states, come here to have spices especially tailored and custom made for them.
Ishan is a good friend of mine and truly someone who understands the city. It was incredible
There is custom in Indian families to make pickles and fresh masala for an entire year worth of supplies around months of May and June before rains start. People of Mumbai flock in huge numbers in Lalbaug wholesale spice market during that time as we get good prices as compared to other places around the city.
I know Ishan and he's like a friggin' encyclopedia of food with arms and legs.
@@AbbasBagasrawala1987 wow. How do you know him.
@@chefKeithSarasinplease🙏🙏🙏 visit kokan in Maharashtra you will get lots of variety and taste and style in food... And nature is also so beautiful....... Try to visit... You will shocked
This chef needs more views just because he loves his profession and enjoys the flavours around like a kid.
♥️🙏🏻
Didn't realize you were doing long form content on TH-cam! Great stuff man, genuinely felt like I was there with you in parts!
Haha yup! Thanks my friend so good to see you.
India is very chaotic and loud and a little scary. But what an amazing place full of culture, people, and food!!
It is. It’s almost one of my favorite places ever and it’s beautiful
You don't get rare things without difficulties
The British occupied it for 186 years. There must be a reason
@@hnmsolutions1 Their occupation was 100% negative
Only metro cities
Welcome to India...love and respect from the heart to you and America
And to you my friend
I stumbled across your videos in recommendation and I was surprised and happy to see Eeshan taking care and guiding you guys.
You are in safe hands ,Godspeed 😌
Haha do you know him?
Your so lucky to reach to this place just to taste the authentic spices around the world
I am so lucky. I don’t take that lightly
I am happy for you dear Keith to see you enjoying this journey of exploring food. But believe me, if you explore in sub urban areas of India, you will see, there are many more spice blends and speciality every district has in every state of India.
Hi chef Keith I came across this TH-cam channel randomly while travelling to office. I recognised your T-shirt pattern I guess the brand you’re wearing is psycho bunny. I worked for them as a developer for quite sometime. I wish you best of your food exploration journey please do visit South Indian states like Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Telugana, Karnataka, Andra Pradesh. I bet you’ll come across more amazing food. Only in India you’ll come across different way of making food for every 50 kms. #you_guys_made_day❤
So glad you are here. Ty so much for this comment
Great to see you go spice and अचार shopping. I am from north india but I like to do my spice shopping in south india especially in kochi
Keith , you will need to plan out your india visits for the next decade .
Indian listen from their heart ❤ #proud to be indian...thanks for visiting 🇮🇳
Welcome to India both 💖🎉🎉🎉😊 while you are here do try the authentic Indian somosa which you will find almost everywhere....Ishaan you are doing an awesome job👍 of Athithi Devo bhava 🙏
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
In Kerala another variety of tasty vegetable samosa available, also will get it the same in the UAE .
Kerala (south India) is the home of spices. Visit Kochi city to see the enormous freshly produced spices. You can also see spice gardens where all the spices of Indian cuisine are cultivated.
Yes but all states also have their many local spice mixes. So tasting everything is equally important. Example: Mustard Base in Bengal, Coconut base in MH, onion base in North etc.
“Calculated chaos “. No I disagree. It’s “controlled chaos” and I love it .
I did too :)
Not just chaos but organised chaos😂…
I was surprised no one approached you for a selfie… remember once you pose for 1 person the whole crowd will follow😂
haha. My Sous Chef was approached once. We had a camera crew with us for a lot of stuff since I am working on a documentary so I am sure that kept people away unfortunately!
Brothers, I am enjoying your video from Kolkata. You are eating everything and are appreciating wow great. It is a symbol of broad and open mind. You are great and your heart is more big. God bless you at all time.
Thank you so much 😀
You have been given correct advice to ho uo Lalbaug. Every 5 years i go home to mumbai anc bring my sgare of spice, even after 5 years it tastes the same. Keep in glass bottle and store in pantry not fridge. If u have a pantry in basement u coulc jeeo there. Buy goda masala, kanda lasoon masala. Go to khamkar masala shop. U can customize to your taste and he can educate you too. Authentic pounding.
Well said. Ty my friend
Coconut water taste like heaven . True beauty of India is its culture , warm people and divine food !! Best Wishes chef
Yes, true
You guys are doing great , you have managed to inspire me (MUMBAI ITE) to try our street food and shopping ..now a days we mostly rely online groceries 😂
Thank you so much 😀
It's very good to see that u r able to speak hindi as well. To be honest became a fan of you after watching and hearing ur hindi.. thank you so much for respecting our language and country ... waiting to see more of your contents in future....
Thanks a ton!

Happy to see you guys... Enjoy your every sec in india... lots of love from a INDIAN FAN...❤❤❤
Thank you so much 😀
Awesome Video. I live in Jersey City, and I miss these! I wish I have money to open an Indian restaurant with you in New York here
Maybe one day!
Try kothimbir vadi, aalu vadi, puranpoli, masale bhat, misal, bhakarvadi , Bombay sandwitch, kokani Fish fry , Fry bombay duck (bombil)in Mumbai
I Love Those Random Shots When You Both Wander In The Market Like Everyday Us W Cameraguy😅
You should visit Jodhpur Rajasthan wholesale masala market ... you'll be surprised more
Will do soon
Your videos are really fun to watch
Especially when spice is there
I can say your videos are "Spicy" 😉👌🚩🕉️🇮🇳
Haha Ty
Atithi devo bhava, you are most welcome in india.
When you come, you come like a foreigner. But whenever you, you goes like our friend or family members ❤❤❤
Sooo true. Ty my dear friend
Go himalya ,ladhakh,north east India and explore beauty ❤
Underrated channel must need some boost .
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Ty my friend
When the spices come in to the hands on chef Keith he was like a child who's desperate for the toys.
And chef believe me your hindi make me think is your teacher a bihari? I can feel that bihari slang in your Hindi.
Haha thank you for your kindness. I have a lot of work to do with my Hindi but I’m trying
You went to the best place of Mumbai to buy spices. They make instant garam masala over there, you have to provide home spice recipe/list. You missed famous malvani seafood restaurant Dutta Boarding, 2 minutes walk from lalbaug market and Maharashtrian snacks centre Ladu Samrat. I hope you try seafood in Mumbai, as it is coastal city don't miss fried Bombay duck and parwns koliwada.
Thanks for the tips!
Sir thank you for visiting India. 🙏 You happy I happy 🙏
So nice of you
Some how india feels alive 🎉🎉🎉
It is soooo alive and amazing
@@chefKeithSarasin it is
Seeing you appreciate the Spices! And the Video is so unfiltered. ( Subscribedl)
Thanks for the sub it means so much!
You can visit nearby Elephanta caves which is UNESCO site known for great cultural importance.
Yessss keith ur the best❤❤❤
Edit: I wanted voice over during coconut part telling how it was.
Next video I’m switching it up a bit and doing some voice overs to explain more
Wow Keith! Welcome to my home state & good luck for your amazing food journey of India!
I exactly know that smell @6:33!! :) Has been the yearly summer ritual of me & every other family around me to make our own Masala / Spice mix!
I & my wife brought 2lbs from India last year.. We spend it more carefully than $$ !! :D
I do make my own here but it's not the same! Since you are there in Maharashtra do try authentic sub-regional cuisines.. Kokan (Coastal) area fish & crabs & shrimps' varieties.. Food of western Maharashtra mainly Misal, Mutton (Goat) Rassa with Millet roti.. If you travel to Kolhapur Tambda (Red) & Pandhara (White) rassa is a must! Pohe & Puran Poli (Sweet Roti) is consumed all across the state! Again All The Best & may you fall in Love with Indian food all over again!
❤ from Canada!
Wow. This is an incredible comment. Ty my friend. Please stay in touch. Would love to talk more!
@@chefKeithSarasin Sure!👍 Would love to meet you once you are back from India. I am just one hour's drive from Niagara Falls!😊
Love your content delhi is famous for food ❤visit delhi love from India 🇮🇳 ❤
Ty my friend
Don't buy achar from market, it contains vinegar and citrate as preservatives. Get homemade achar from acquaintance.
Do you think or know that is true for every market?
There are some wonderful home made brand names for aachar you will find in most super markets and stores also such as Mother's Recipe, Bedekar pickles, etc
....they come in bottles as well as tetra packs... enjoy!!🫶
These 2 names are brand names of pickles I've been having since I was a kid....😊
@@chefKeithSarasin Mostly, yes. Nowadays most pickles especially those sold commercially have preservatives. Best is homemade, no vinegar or citric acid.
Keith, isnt it like switching from black n white tv to 4k high def. Tv, the restaurant food in Usa vs. India.?
Absolutely true
I would like to Mr. Guide well disciplined and very much knowledgeable . Guys you are so much lucky to have him along with you..😊
India 🙏
India the spice King 😆
Rice, Curd and a small spoon of Pickle/Achaar is best combo to end a lunch or dinner 😄
Love from India
Ty my friend
Just randomly stumbled upon your video and I just loved it. ❤
Awesome! Thank you! Hope to see you around here!
@@chefKeithSarasin keep on doing great work 🙏🏼 ( subscribed you for more awesome videos about Indian food 😉 )
Wel come to incredible india🇮🇳njoy lots of thing...try vinay health home hotel,thakurwadi girgaon( mumbai)-states,food,chat,dress, languages,etc...... 0:11 1:27 2:06
Ty my friend. It’s such an incredible place. ♥️🇮🇳
You'd be surprised what spices you get here in the USA especially New Jersey. There is an isle just of Acchaars -- pickles in the Indian grocery store here.
In Bombay -- try seafood -- esp Pompfret, Rawas - Indian salmon, prawns and last but not least Bombay Duck -- it's a fish. With the seafood -- gulp down a glass of Sol Kadhi.
In fish try both -- fish fried in semolina -- Rawa and fish curry -- coconut based. Go for the traditional rice -- which is parboiled. They might try to offer Basmati. Refuse.
visit Mejwaani in newport
Kieth, Sri Lankan cinnamon is the best..
I see you are having a great time. 😀❤👍
It was incredible
Visit badeMiya while you are near gateway of India behind the Taj.
I’ve heard so much about that place!!
Welcome to the Spices Capital of world,,,,,Bharat(Indian),,,

मराठी शिकवा आपल्या पाहुण्यांना ❤🎉😮😊
1:41 Oooh gari, how I miss thee!
your guide is very knowledgeable
Sure is. He’s my friend Ishan
Come to Kerala (south of India)especially wayanad and Idukki you'll find the spice farms
That’s the plan for my next trip. I’m obsessed with South Indian food.
@@chefKeithSarasin thanks for the reply let us know if you'd need any recommendations.
@@Since-2001 I def will my friend.
Chef is too good
Visit Odisha for Dalma, dahi Vada aloo dum, pitha , pakhala , Odia thali etc
If you are into spices then Kerala is the spice capital of India. Even Gordon Ramsay have visited this place quite a few times mainly to find out the spices.
Not sure if you tried Delhi spice market at Kharibawli , you will find some rarest of spices from Himalayan
loved it !! you should have said 2-3 words in marathi instead of hindi. since they were all marathi, they would have probably loved it even more if you would have said khoop chaan instead of bahot badhiya. haha. btw my native village is the birthplace of alphonso mangoes and i honestly feel that maaza is one of the most overrated mango drink in india. you should try aamras at any local vendor and ask them for no sugar.
Thank you for all these tips. I’m obsessed with mangos so I can’t imagine how wonderful your village must be
@@chefKeithSarasin I have tried more than 10-12 different types of mangoes, including the Filipino Carabao mangoes which were definitely very sweet but flavor wise Alphonso Mangoes from Devgad are probably the best. Maybe I am biased but I literally don't think the Haapus as we call them has any match. 🤣
You only find them in the summer time though, we usually freeze the pulp for using it over the year. The 100% authentic pulp can only be found in konkani households. You can't find it in restaurants, at least I havent. But whatever you find at local restaurants is still much much better than maaza.
You have to visit in kochin (Kerala)
The land of spices
Just order online. Every service is available online in India
Keith please come to Pune.
Would you please try the spice "KababChini"? unusual types of material. Still, the addition of Kabab chini to Biryani enhances its flavour. It's known as a secret Ingredient by some.
I love it! I have it in my kitchen all the time
@@chefKeithSarasin that's great .
Hello sir
Please have a taste of dishes from Northeast part of India
You'll love it 😊
Will do soon
India represents all worlds , 1st, 3rd, 4th ect
Visit Kerela for spices and Old Delhi too. Not sure if Mumbai is the spice capital or for that matter the food capital. Any Indian food kickoff needs to start from Delhi!
This area in Mumbai (Lalbaug) is well known for spices.
Welcome to India
Ty my friend
Those things are the best buys from India, since the time of Greek Empire!
Thanks for your honest reaction. It is fugging chaos
It is but it’s absolutely beautiful too
@@chefKeithSarasin I live in Mumbai. The place has character but sometimes it’s a lot. Not for the faint of heart
@@chefKeithSarasin The point is when you leave -- you will want to go back.
Try misal from aswad Dadar, it's award winning
I had misal at a hill station that was great!
Hii..plz try vinay health home girgaon,thakurdwar-mumbai....pure veg..dish.unique potato wada,sabudana wada,mattar pattice, kothimbir wadi,Kanda poha,piyush soft mango drink
Wlcom to India sir
Your Indian accent is so real .
Haha yah?
Try kerela coconut, you ll be amazed
Sounds great!
@@chefKeithSarasin yeah, it's kind of orange in colour from outside, just an added information 👍
Enjoy as much as possible, buddies. You won't find this kind of world anywhere else in the whole world.
Fair
This is how Columbus felt when he reached to India first🤣
Hahah. Seriously though, it was all about the 💰for him
Chaos has beauty,
Absolutely does
Walk down the streets in Fort Kochi, Kerala...you get the aroma of spices on the street...
Thanks for the tip!
Honestly speaking, I find Times Square to be much more of a "chaos" than Gateway of India.
Chaos is everywhere in north India 😊
Kyu bhai northeast ko bhi bharde kya 😂
@@mohit1768 🥲😃
try large red chilli achar
Come to South india, Hyderabad Bangalore
Wonderful vlog keith👍👍👍👍
Ty
4:30 that’s how Europeans got to know Indian spices. That’s where it all began. 😂😂
😂😂
Bro if you still in India then plz come to indore
Come to Southern part of india
Next time that’s my goal
