Cant blame them, remember how when you give neat peg of whisky to some beginner and they fail to identify different flavors inside the whisky or difference between different types of whisky because they are getting overwhelmed by the heat and burn of alcohol? Thats what indian spices do to the pallates of goras. All the difference spices taste same for them.
@CHRISTIAN KNIGHT Indians don't eat only hard food, we also eat Kadhi, kari, Rasam, Sambar, Pandhra rassa, Tambda rassa... list goes on. and best thing is every dish tastes different. And these recipes are in kitchen from centuries ...
The fact that he took the time to name every spice in the masala box in it's proper Hindi name both surprised and impressed me. I was so happy he took the time to learn those. He's really knowledgeable about Indian cuisine!
Indian Moms would be proud after seeing the chef measure water for rice the Indian way. btw this was just like an everyday non-veg meal for an Indian household.
@@ramanathkamat and the way he cooks the curry without putting the turmeric and spices to cook in the oil first makes me wonder. we never cook curry this way, we always cook the spices with the turmeric first then add the meat. this way the flavors meld together and the turmeric does not taste bitter.
Pretty sure that's just a general technique, my very North western European mum does the exact same. Don't think she picked that one up from her one Indonesian great grandma xD.
This is perhaps the best masterchef from another country (other than India) he just speaks facts and accurate information and isnt dumb like other chefs who think anything Indian is a curry... this guy speaks knowledge, look at his confidence and voice tone mates, he seems so badass as well, extremely classy
This in probably the only video in TH-cam where a western chef actually is on point about some very basic knowledge of Indian cuisine, cooking method/styles. India as a country has so much diversity that the person standing next to you will cook differently than you with the same ingredient. He seems to cook so effortlessly and without the fancy fanfare, uses simple ingredients we daily use, points out crucial technique as a mother does to her daughter before marriage and comes up with a very beautiful menu as if he does it everyday for living. All in all it shows that Indian food is was and never will be only Curry powder and done. Well done Chef, hats off. RESPECT. Aptly titled video also.
And then imagine how much larger and therefore more varied India is compared to France, so in a way French powder for French food makes even more sense.
This is the best explanation of Indian cuisine by a foreigner I've ever seen. Otherwise mostly people think just adding curry powder makes the dish Indian.

Loved the chef's knowledge about indian cuisines. All checked: Curry powder not a thing (checked) turmeric seasoning (checked) rice measurements (checked) squeezed cucumbers (checked) For those trying it, some tips to make it better: 1. Rather than adding cinnamon after onion-ginger-garlic, put a red chilli, some cumin, 2-3 cardamom, cinnamon, 2-3 cloves in oil and light fry them before adding onions and fry them a bit before adding ginger-garlic paste (it will ensure curry is not bitter in taste). 2. try adding tomato puree before potato and chicken and sauté them until u see oil starting to appear on top of the puree. 3. Sauté till oil is lessened. 4. Semi-fry potatoes before putting it in this. 5. Then, add chicken then the rest of the process is correct.
Peeling ginger with a spoon is like the simplest & basic knowledge for a chef & it's amusing to see the some of the contestants getting suprised by it.
Traditionally we put cunim seeds (which is not dry roasted) in the oil first let it crackle then we add ginger garlic paste, then onion and then tomatoes.
He did it right. Cumin dry cracking if good for chicken dishes as he didn't add any sort of cumin powder later. Onion goes first and then ginger garlic as onion taken more time to caramelize than ginger. Ginger before onion will lose its scent. Tomato should be last even after chicken as onion has the most water and will not let the chicken protein bursts out as it fries in oil.
@@erabhikdasgupta we simply do not add roasted cumin or in the powder form in curries, when you cook cumin powder furthermore it tends to give was bitter taste because it starts to get burnt, roasted cumin powder (bhuna jeera powder) is used mostly to in preparing raita.
Chef Ray has a profound knowledge of Indian Cuisine. It was so fascinating to watch him measure rice the 'right Indian way'. Hoping for more such content on MasterChef World. You have every Indian's approval here!
@@ginabindari5184 Gordon Ramsay when by himself teaches us a lot about Indian Cuisine and it is very enlightening, I agree. But his knowledge on Masterchef USA is heavily undermined because of the emphasis on the drama between the contestants, how ‘tough’ the challenges are, with how much flair the chefs can cook and so on. That is why I don’t prefer Masterchef USA much. I can’t learn a lot from there(although I know the show ain’t really for teaching me either).
It's also because they have shot it well, many times when the chef's actually teach the contestants, they truncate the whole thing for tv and audience feel as if they showed nothing. Either way, he is one of the best instructors on tv.
I was very critical of Ray's Italian tomato sauce and of course he is a Chef and his knowledge and skills are on display here! So far by 6 minutes I'm fine with his interpretation of chicken curry. I learned curries from my Indian roommates in college 40 years ago. We ground our spices with a mortar and pestle, fried them in ghee, sauteed the onions and garlic with the spices and then added the protein and several tiny very hot whole chilis. I see nothing to criticize Ray, well done! I do more/mostly Thai curries and cooking now and I make my own fresh Thai curry pastes with galangal, shallots, lemon grass, chilis, and my freshly picked kafir lime leaves Bai Magrood, garlic, shrimp paste, fish sauce etc.
Finally someone spoke the truth about Kari! It’s not Curry! Kari - Tamil word - Can be any stir fry or gravy using vegetables or meat. Even the curry leave’s etymology is from Kariveppilai leaves which is the true name in Tamil. 👏🏼👏🏼 Thamizhin perumai ulaga medaiyil ❤️
The British had a strong presence in Bengal. In the Bengali language, _Torkari_ means any dish with gravy; it can also mean a stir-fry dish but that's less common. _Korai_ or _Karai_ in Bengali means the wok or pan that food is cooked in. Anyways, the British usage of "curry" was also influenced by the Middle English word _cury_ (pronounced "coory") which came from the French _cuyre_ which means 'to cook'.
His knowledge regarding Indian Cuisine & the reasons of doing what 'we' do, such as using turmeric (health benefits) or other things & it's really commendable!
He could actually cook it Indian style .. amazing. He wasn’t trying to make it modern, just simple basic Indian cooking techniques and spices... Loved it
Wow ... He actually knows Indian cuisine and his definition of curry is absolutely right. 'Curry' is not a name what we use here he knows that too and 'kari' also means 'meat' here in Tamilnadu.
Yeeees!!! Someone finally explained the concept of CURRY!! There’s no such thing in Indian cuisine. They all have their unique names. But in English, every Indian dish is curry. Also the curry powder! Thank you for explaining! Again there’s no such thing in India.
First things first:- There's an order of things to be done while doing Indian Cuisine. 1)Put in the oil in the pan. 2)Wet roast all the whole spices. 3)Add Ginger-Garlic Paste. 4)Then Add Onions 5)Add Desired Spices. 6)Chicken/Veggies Its the Basic Follow up you should be following during cooking Indian Food for Maximum Taste and Aroma.
Nope. That just done in your house maybe. Every indian household has thr own way and order of adding ingredients. I like to put my veggie or chiken in oil frst thing first and thn any spice .
Based on how he talks about the ingredients and their treatment, we can see how he respects the Indian food culture and the dishes themselves. Any chef that goes to such lengths to respect culture and understand recipes so delicately is a true masterchef.
indian's who watch this video will be shocked because this chef is wonderful, he followed every single step that indian mother prepare food for there family. iam suprised that the way he cooked, the rice, measuring water, chicken curry and don't miss the masala box.. absolutely truly in indian style, A big thump up👍👍👍👍👍👍 to this chef..... Eat indian food stay healthy. jai hind.
I love this chef.. he has put in some real effort in learning about indian cuisine and not just generically call everything “curry”.. i love how he treats food with respect and not act like an entitled white man.. 🙏🏻 love from india..
Yup and fry the chicken and potato seperately perhaps before adding into the caramelized tomato gravy? I guess, that would add a whole world of flavours to this amazing dish.
Kari -tamil word 👌💥I'm amazed that this chef knows exactly, where this word derives and what it means and also the way he pronounced all the hindi names of the spices.
I'm amazed the chef has heard of Tamil... a vast, vast majority of the speakers are in Tamil Nadu. I have a number of South Asian friends here in the US that have never heard of it. On that note, a majority of Indian immigrants to the US are North Indian, thus foods like naan and butter chicken are what's popular here, not idlis or dosas.
Chef Ray McVinnie gave the perfect explanation for the word Curry. It is a Tamil word "KARI". I'm so excited to see the chef has lots of knowledge on Indian cuisine. 💖💖
This guy is amazing... He knew how to cook rice where there were no measurements and that's Indian granny's cooking... My granny taught me that.. How cool..
@@hydacanal by the way British pronounced it it changed to kari See this comment section i am like Whatt??

The chef explained how to cook rice and measure water for perfectly cooked rice ...is the same way my mother taught me whn i was 10 years old ...i loved chef's knowledge abt indian home cooking way
If I'm eating any non Indian made Indian food, it'd be him or Gordon (assuming I can afford that) and I'd know it's authentic. He knows what he's doing...
@@hellolastname9556 Suppose we have one recipe. That recipe will have a hundred different ways of preparing it depending on the region and family you grew up with.

10:01 I like this man's exchange with the onlookers. As much as he knows more than them, he doesn't treat them like they're inferior or something. Just because they know more about one field, I've seen pro chefs treat home cooks like they're children as if they aren't all adults in that room
That chef has definitely spent some time, cooking inside an Indian household with an Indian Mom. And you can tell, he is passionate about food and his work. He is the first one who knows and spells the spices correctly and in hindi that I have seen so far. The bummer was he knows the household rule for most Indian homes for cooking rice. We actually do use it daily.
Not only spices, he is having deep knowledge, how to cook the Indian recipe I was thinking my mom only use finger to measure the water level 😅 Respect & Love from India❤️
The exact contents must be cumin,fennel,pepper,fenugreek,mustard the box1.cardamam,chinnamon,bringeleave,clove,,the other curry spices box2. Turmeric powder, chilli powder, curry powder, coriander powder,...box3 Perfect indian kitchen
Spot on ennunciation of spices in Hindi..and thnkgod! Finally a chef who pointed out that just putting a curry powder in a dish doesnt make it Indian..🤣🤣
The way he cooked the meal and knew all the names of spices, he must have learnt in a indian household. After a long time seen a non indian chef cooking such simple dish with no unnecessary cream or milk or "curry" powder 😂👌👍
Finally a chef from the WEST who actually knows what indian food is all about, the highlight of this video was how he knew what curry (subji) is and how he made that raita without using the mixer grinder.
Paprika is red chilli flakes and the ground red powder is red chillies put in a mixer and ground . Traditional homes use coarsely ground chillies, normally Modern Indian homes use it as chilli powder. We also have chillies to flavour and colour the curries
The spice box is missing an essential ingredient Dhania powder (Coriander powder). Also, they used vegetable oil (refined) which is not typically Indian. We usually make Chicken in mustard oil or ground nut or coconut oil..
@@PrakashSharma-ez1ce it's has always been like that... European and American health agency consider mustard oil to be harmful to heart after a long term use... That is why you will never see them cooking with mustard oil
Omg ...he definitely got the knowledge ..I approve him ! Good job sir!! And thank you so much for proper representation of our culture and our food !! Huge respect!!
well not all indians cook rice that way. In Bengal , we put extra water in the rice and when rice gets cooked , we drain the starchy extra water. Bam , done. That's how we / many people do.

@@erabhikdasgupta we simply do not add roasted cumin or in the powder form in curries, when you cook cumin powder furthermore it tends to give was bitter taste because it starts to get burnt, roasted cumin powder (bhuna jeera powder) is used mostly to in preparing raita.
Exactly!
0:28 Paprika is close to the 'Deeghi Mirch' among Indian chili powders.
Chef Ray has a profound knowledge of Indian Cuisine. It was so fascinating to watch him measure rice the 'right Indian way'. Hoping for more such content on MasterChef World.
You have every Indian's approval here!
Just listening to this man made me learn more about Indian spices and curry than all of Masterchef Canada, Ireland and USA combined
Might be indian mom in his last life
Don't forget Gordon Ramsay!
@@ginabindari5184 Gordon Ramsay when by himself teaches us a lot about Indian Cuisine and it is very enlightening, I agree. But his knowledge on Masterchef USA is heavily undermined because of the emphasis on the drama between the contestants, how ‘tough’ the challenges are, with how much flair the chefs can cook and so on. That is why I don’t prefer Masterchef USA much. I can’t learn a lot from there(although I know the show ain’t really for teaching me either).
Hey, fly down to india man if you may. You will find tons of different flavours not just "curry-ish" hot& spicy. 🙏❤️ Namastey
@@WheelOfThought I’m big on Indian food my man. I am currently in India enjoying delicacies from all four corners haha
Can we just appreciate the deep knowledge he has about Indian food
4:37 finally someone said it half the people on the internet sort of go generalizing curry powder, there's no such thing as curry powder.
I really like how this masterchef is more about teaching than showboating and just good camerawork.
On the other side is our version.....
It's also because they have shot it well, many times when the chef's actually teach the contestants, they truncate the whole thing for tv and audience feel as if they showed nothing. Either way, he is one of the best instructors on tv.
I was very critical of Ray's Italian tomato sauce and of course he is a Chef and his knowledge and skills are on display here! So far by 6 minutes I'm fine with his interpretation of chicken curry. I learned curries from my Indian roommates in college 40 years ago. We ground our spices with a mortar and pestle, fried them in ghee, sauteed the onions and garlic with the spices and then added the protein and several tiny very hot whole chilis. I see nothing to criticize Ray, well done! I do more/mostly Thai curries and cooking now and I make my own fresh Thai curry pastes with galangal, shallots, lemon grass, chilis, and my freshly picked kafir lime leaves Bai Magrood, garlic, shrimp paste, fish sauce etc.
Thank you for clearing the misconception of curry powder.
Curry powder (more of a British thing) and curry are two different things.
Finally someone spoke the truth about Kari! It’s not Curry! Kari - Tamil word - Can be any stir fry or gravy using vegetables or meat. Even the curry leave’s etymology is from Kariveppilai leaves which is the true name in Tamil. 👏🏼👏🏼 Thamizhin perumai ulaga medaiyil ❤️
The British had a strong presence in Bengal. In the Bengali language, _Torkari_ means any dish with gravy; it can also mean a stir-fry dish but that's less common. _Korai_ or _Karai_ in Bengali means the wok or pan that food is cooked in.
Anyways, the British usage of "curry" was also influenced by the Middle English word _cury_ (pronounced "coory") which came from the French _cuyre_ which means 'to cook'.
His knowledge regarding Indian Cuisine & the reasons of doing what 'we' do, such as using turmeric (health benefits) or other things & it's really commendable!
His hindi pronounciation is really good and doesn't have that weird accent most non hindi speakers have.
@Indian Streetshietters bruh u still think this old joke makes u look edgy.
@@pritamraghuvanshi450 don't reply to him bro, he's doing it for attention. Don't give him the satisfaction
@Indian Streetshietters how do you say that??!
He could actually cook it Indian style .. amazing. He wasn’t trying to make it modern, just simple basic Indian cooking techniques and spices... Loved it
True while indian chefs ruin dishes by trying to make them modern
Man,
This guy really understands these dishes by heart. I somehow feel really proud of him. Don't know why I just feel it.
Wow ... He actually knows Indian cuisine and his definition of curry is absolutely right. 'Curry' is not a name what we use here he knows that too and 'kari' also means 'meat' here in Tamilnadu.
" Kaai kari " for Vegetables and green leafy veg too
Kari actually means that which is fried a lot ie almost burnt
Yeeees!!! Someone finally explained the concept of CURRY!! There’s no such thing in Indian cuisine. They all have their unique names. But in English, every Indian dish is curry. Also the curry powder! Thank you for explaining! Again there’s no such thing in India.
As how every italian food is pizza and pasta for us
..the thing is people need to be more open about others culture ...
@@felixgeorge8768 I never think about italian food that way tho...
Actually there is, in Tamil and Keralite cooking but it is not what is commonly associated with the word.
Wow Chef Ray, overwhelmed by your knowledge and respect for Indian food. Everything looks so delicious!!!
First things first:-
There's an order of things to be done while doing Indian Cuisine.
1)Put in the oil in the pan.
2)Wet roast all the whole spices.
3)Add Ginger-Garlic Paste.
4)Then Add Onions
5)Add Desired Spices.
6)Chicken/Veggies
Its the Basic Follow up you should be following during cooking Indian Food for Maximum Taste and Aroma.
Nope. That just done in your house maybe. Every indian household has thr own way and order of adding ingredients. I like to put my veggie or chiken in oil frst thing first and thn any spice .
Not necessary bro....
you don't add ginger garlic paste before onions lol... he did it correct.
1:25
MasterChef: Traditionally the water level goes upto the first crease
The Asian contestant: yeah I see Indians are Asians too.
we are people of color, our food just tastes better coz we know how to..
@@NurashikinBinteARahim agreed
Based on how he talks about the ingredients and their treatment, we can see how he respects the Indian food culture and the dishes themselves.
Any chef that goes to such lengths to respect culture and understand recipes so delicately is a true masterchef.
He should've gotten a pressure cooker for the rice. I would have loved to see their expressions with each whistle lol.
😂😂
😅
😂😂😂
😂😂
But we usually don't use pressure cooker for Basmati rice
indian's who watch this video will be shocked because this chef is wonderful, he followed every single step that indian mother prepare food for there family. iam suprised that the way he cooked, the rice, measuring water, chicken curry and don't miss the masala box.. absolutely truly in indian style, A big thump up👍👍👍👍👍👍 to this chef.....
Eat indian food stay healthy.
jai hind.
0:45 the irony here
I love this chef.. he has put in some real effort in learning about indian cuisine and not just generically call everything “curry”.. i love how he treats food with respect and not act like an entitled white man.. 🙏🏻 love from india..
The chef rightly mentioned the Tamil word "Kari" which transformed into english word curry
Well done. The only criticism I have is that you'd normally caramelize the tomatoes with the onions and get more home style curry.
Yup and fry the chicken and potato seperately perhaps before adding into the caramelized tomato gravy? I guess, that would add a whole world of flavours to this amazing dish.
Kari -tamil word 👌💥I'm amazed that this chef knows exactly, where this word derives and what it means and also the way he pronounced all the hindi names of the spices.
I'm amazed the chef has heard of Tamil... a vast, vast majority of the speakers are in Tamil Nadu. I have a number of South Asian friends here in the US that have never heard of it. On that note, a majority of Indian immigrants to the US are North Indian, thus foods like naan and butter chicken are what's popular here, not idlis or dosas.
@@nahor88 not south Asian but Indian subcontinent.
@raj-ck7mv 4:39
Chef Ray McVinnie gave the perfect explanation for the word Curry. It is a Tamil word "KARI". I'm so excited to see the chef has lots of knowledge on Indian cuisine. 💖💖
Wasn't he trying to say the British created it ??
@@thendino1 No No! He clearly says it's from India
Yeah kari is a tamil word ...
In Bengali we call curry as Tarkari. Anything you cook in Tarka gravy.
@@RAIRADIO in kannada tarkari means vegetable.... Our Indian languages have similar words with different meaning
Can’t believe the chef knows every little thing about Tamil word kari, absolutely amazed ....he sure did his authentic homework
Curry is not tamil word🤣😬
This guy is amazing... He knew how to cook rice where there were no measurements and that's Indian granny's cooking... My granny taught me that.. How cool..
Kari = meat. It's a Tamil word. I am very humbled to see Indian cuisine being represented in an international show like MasterChef 😁😁👍👍.
Every word you see is a tamil word 😂
@@nithinr5452 actually that's true the British took that into their dictionary, also "Cash" that comes from kaasu
Oh so that's how word "curry" arrived. I'm from North India this is new to me
@@nithinr5452 the chef said it himself
@@hydacanal by the way British pronounced it it changed to kari
See this comment section i am like Whatt??
If a word comes from hindi to English then u people take the pride
But when its tamil which is actually a pride to india being the only oldest living language u people never take any pride but just question
Ignorant
The chef explained how to cook rice and measure water for perfectly cooked rice ...is the same way my mother taught me whn i was 10 years old ...i loved chef's knowledge abt indian home cooking way
If I'm eating any non Indian made Indian food, it'd be him or Gordon (assuming I can afford that) and I'd know it's authentic. He knows what he's doing...
I'm so glad, that the way he attacked that stereotypical image of curry...I just love that..
The chef speaks so cutely Thanks for showcasing indian food.... Love from india
This is the first I'm seeing a foreigner cooking a Indian food most accurately. Also he knows stuff.
Love this as an Indian. I vote we claim and rename him. Rahul Mahadev, the Chef formerly known as Ray McVinnie.
Why can't he be English and cook Indian food? This comment is stupid, saying it as an Indian
@@rajvishukla458 It was a joke. Chill.
@@rajvishukla458 it was a joke in reference to changing names of cities in India

@@rajvishukla458 🙄 it's just way of showering love. Chill buddy
I feel like , i am watching someone who cooks indian food daily chef , it can't get any more original , you good chef
The chef knows so much about indian cuisine because his wife is from Chennai
@@harinisenguttuvan1780 No 😂😂
Seriously? It doesn't seem to have influenced because he prepares it the north indian way
@@maheswarirajan2635 so indians argue among themselves over food also?
@@hellolastname9556 Suppose we have one recipe. That recipe will have a hundred different ways of preparing it depending on the region and family you grew up with.
@@ChimpBoi493 true, people improvise and try new things , everyone should respect others food , especially in 21st century
4:55 me explaining my mum what foreigners do on my day 1 of abroad study. I love how much detail he is getting into with my culture. He’s def earned my respect.
The way chef measure water dipping his finger is true indian way to do it 😂
10:01 I like this man's exchange with the onlookers. As much as he knows more than them, he doesn't treat them like they're inferior or something. Just because they know more about one field, I've seen pro chefs treat home cooks like they're children as if they aren't all adults in that room
This is the kind of master chef content I want. It's so calm , informative , everyone is really comfortable
It's New Zealand, they don't over dramatize things on tv, the people can't handle watching it.
We don't have spices boxes like that we usually have room specifically dedicated to spices
My indian brother we have been summoned once again rise from the depth of the shadows and make it bath with our views.
😂😂😂😂
Lol
Aggaye bhai... Kisko lynch I mean troll karna hai bata?…!!!😎
Yea 😂
True 🤪🤪🤪
We actually have different ways of preparing the same food from north to south. Incredible India
The measurement of water that he gave for rice is the same thing my maa taught me when i cooked rice for 1st time.
That chef has definitely spent some time, cooking inside an Indian household with an Indian Mom.
And you can tell, he is passionate about food and his work. He is the first one who knows and spells the spices correctly and in hindi that I have seen so far.
The bummer was he knows the household rule for most Indian homes for cooking rice.
We actually do use it daily.
Not only spices, he is having deep knowledge, how to cook the Indian recipe
I was thinking my mom only use finger to measure the water level 😅
Respect & Love from India❤️
The exact contents must be cumin,fennel,pepper,fenugreek,mustard the box1.cardamam,chinnamon,bringeleave,clove,,the other curry spices box2.
Turmeric powder, chilli powder, curry powder, coriander powder,...box3
Perfect indian kitchen
Spot on ennunciation of spices in Hindi..and thnkgod! Finally a chef who pointed out that just putting a curry powder in a dish doesnt make it Indian..🤣🤣
The way he cooked the meal and knew all the names of spices, he must have learnt in a indian household. After a long time seen a non indian chef cooking such simple dish with no unnecessary cream or milk or "curry" powder 😂👌👍
Finally a chef from the WEST who actually knows what indian food is all about, the highlight of this video was how he knew what curry (subji) is and how he made that raita without using the mixer grinder.
First Foreign Chef who knows everything is not curry...and who understands the word Curry 🙏🏻
Paprika is red chilli flakes and the ground red powder is red chillies put in a mixer and ground . Traditional homes use coarsely ground chillies, normally Modern Indian homes use it as chilli powder. We also have chillies to flavour and colour the curries
That finger thing us so true, works everytime no matter how much you were cooking.
I like how dedicated he was towards teaching them.. the knowledge about spices and what exactly he was cooking.
The spice box is missing an essential ingredient Dhania powder (Coriander powder). Also, they used vegetable oil (refined) which is not typically Indian. We usually make Chicken in mustard oil or ground nut or coconut oil..
Mustard oil my favourite, mostly used in my State Bihar
Mustard oil is banned in western countries so...
@@kunal25roy
Why banned ??
@@PrakashSharma-ez1ce it's has always been like that... European and American health agency consider mustard oil to be harmful to heart after a long term use... That is why you will never see them cooking with mustard oil
@@kunal25roy Whattttt!!!!!
Little bit of correction - there is a difference between Rai and Mustard (sarso)
Finally I've heard a western chef define curry perfectly.
Omg ...he definitely got the knowledge ..I approve him !
Good job sir!! And thank you so much for proper representation of our culture and our food !! Huge respect!!
I am a tamilian and I even don't know the meaning of curry. Thanks cheff
The way he is explaining how to cook rice seems like rocket science. Every indian would be thinking like hnnnn😂😂😂
well not all indians cook rice that way. In Bengal , we put extra water in the rice and when rice gets cooked , we drain the starchy extra water. Bam , done. That's how we / many people do.
I like how there is no disturbing music and that the chef is actually teaching how to cook and that's it's quite interactive.
I mean indian classical music is not bad it's just they happen to pick the bad ones that goes with a cooking show. 😂
Woooow, that's the way to appreciate/celebrate others country 's cuisine, not westernising it just telling/explaining it in the native way.much love❤️
Mom I found someone who knows that indian food is not only just curry
