- Krish Ashok discusses his book "Masala Lab: The Science of Indian Cooking" and to tell us the nearly 3 billion-year-old story of one of India’s-and the world’s-most popular dishes, the chicken curry.
"Masala Lab" explores the science of Indian cooking with the aim of making the reader a better cook and turning the kitchen into a joyful, creative playground for culinary experimentation. It uses simple, first-principles, middle-school level science explanations and hand-drawn illustrations to break down what happens in the Indian kitchen. It also recommends algorithms and metamodels for common dish types and regional Indian sub-cuisines.
Krish Ashok is the Global Head - Digital Workplace for Tata Consultancy Services, helping Fortune 1000 companies reimagine the future of work, a role that is at the intersection of technology, design and culture. He is a trained Indian classical violinist who also plays the cello, electric guitar, composes and produces music, available on all major streaming platforms. A particularly popular playlist is Sanskrit Rock, where he translates and adapts popular heavy metal and classic rock songs into Sanskrit. Ashok is also a regular columnist on food, science, and culture for publications such as Mint, The Hindu, Scroll and BuzzFeed.

If Krish was a science teacher, I would have turned a biologist. Amazing stuff! Children would love reading stuff like this!
An out-of -box thinker who examines what humankind has been doing for centuries inside the box and why it works.
great talk, made a lot of bulbs light up in my mind
Wow this is amazing stuff, keep at it!
Also the haters in the comments are fuckin stupid, this man is producing amazing content.
Exactly! They're all jalous
all content aren't genuine to the core, so critisizing is democracy.
Very interesting, l learned lot of things. Thanks
We don’t put all things at once (only happens with novices who’ve never been taught by moms and grandmas). Lots of this already done over hundreds of years by people in all parts of India…
just imagine the kind of offsprings we are producing who are studying and working away from parents and the absolute reason why swiggy, zomato are fast replacing the gems fast making food homogenious all over the country and globe with the 'Indian Restaurants' branding India with Biriyani, Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken and so on.. That's the sole reason it makes me sad and mad at the same time..
Very interesting and informative 👌👌
Nyc sir
Looks interesting
25:47 convection...???
if dogs were smarter they would simply eat us
As they are wolves, who weren't smart enough.
thats pretty true, from the heard story of a woman been eaten after her death by her own cats.
Recipe for the best chicken curry:
1) start with one teaspoon of single celled organisms
2) leave at room temperature for 3 billion years
3) serve with rice
Cooking with chicken fat, “ the best fat in the world”? Is this even plausible? Or even healthy?
This is kind of fat is what India or the world ate for thousands of years. Agricultural is very very recent phenomenon.
People have been demonised with fats, especially meaty fats. Unfortunately. Our body needs, carbs, protiens, fats and fibers as macronutrients, plus all the micronutrients coming directly as close to the natural state as possible. This is where highly processed factory foods fail and damage the health, however even they will learn eventually and turn all foods like Mc Donalds, KFC, etc., technically taking out traditional cuisines that were been passed on to the next generation. There will be tremendous loss of flavours in the coming generations. It was just watching this th-cam.com/video/A5Y1Zc15_Eo/w-d-xo.html early today, and there everyone complains about the junky same food that was available for them to consume al throughout their journey of 5 days.
Actually, duck fat is the best fat in the world. And both duck and chicken fat are healthy.
42:08 eat local is good, even if avocados are grown locally. And you don't advocate on how avocado is grown, which you have the beautiful lie that 'it needs tremendous of water'. Avocados plants/trees will wither out if too much water is provided. Eating local food doesn't mean only on these imported food producing being localised, but what was orginally local. Even if localised, it would have adapted to the locality and yield as appropriate. BS is BS, these kind of faults you say will stop the real ones being accepted questioning the authenticity. If you have not done enough research or have gained substantial knowledge, you (or anyone for that matter) should stop from becoming an advocate of it.
Krish Ashok has given 2.1 billion stories to simply show off his science knowledge. Period.
It has nothing to do with 99.99999 percent of people who cook day in and day out.
Sorry, this 74 year old chef is not impressed.
you sir, are showing off your ignorance.
@commonid4323
Really my dear ?
some people just love limelight, at the expense of other's ingenuinity and lifetime knowledge. That is the power the book borne knowledge is nowadays.
2.7 billion years ?
Earth was new and there were not even any air breathing creatures on the planet back then. Even land plants would not evolve for another 2 billion plus years.
So no curry plants !
I am just at the beginning of the video so maybe this is a joke or tongue in cheek. I am watching out of curiosity.
I am not even a huge fan of chicken curry. It's ok sometimes.
Aha ! He is going all the way back to the first eukaryotic cells ! Why start the story from there ? They evolved from other cells.
You could just as well start at the formation of the Earth itself....or further to the big bang.
Without the big bang there would certainly be no chicken curry !
Your method and theory in cooking and explaining nutrition are wacko, far strayed from Human Hygiene and Human Biology
Garbage. There is no such thing in Indian food called curry. Curry comes from Scotland. There is also no such thing as an "Indian Classical Violin" (mentioned in the description). I can only presume they mean a Sarangi - an ancient instrument that predates the European Dark Ages.
If you are going to present for Google, at least make an effort and there's no need to apologise for your history or culture "Krish".
The word "curry" is a Tamil word for "meat gravy". Yes, colonial Britain may have co-oped that term to describe the homogenous red and yellow mush they call Indian food, but as a native speaker of Tamil, I can tell you that the word pre-dates its colonial misuse.
The violin was introduced by the British to South India around the 1800s and it went on to become an integral part of South Indian classical music (called Carnatic Classical). It has been a part of the concert setup for over a 150 years now. I should know since I've actually studied it and performed for decades. The term "Indian classical violin" is used to distinguish it from "Western classical violin" because 1. it is tuned differently - Western violins are tuned in fifths, while Indian classical styles tune the violin in alternating 4ths and 5ths. 2. The posture for playing is entirely different. Western classical violin is played standing up while Indian classical violin is played sitting down with the violin resting on one's foot. This is to make the playing of sliding notes easier
If you are going to preface a comment with "garbage", at least make an effort to use Google to read up about the things you are commenting on
You could not be more wrong about there being no such thing as Indian classical violin. Not only has it found an integral place in Carnatic music, but it is also widely used in Hindustani music. I couldn't imagine telling someone who is proficient at a certain instrument that such an instrument doesn't even exist, the ignorance is palpable.
he comes from the group of western compliant people.. Do not expect great things from such.
