I am an Old person and seen a lot. What an eye opener this was for me! Humanity at its best, No pretence, playing for gain, just doing the right thing for others. We should all learn a lesson..
i had to pause and wipe away a few tears during the segment about the Indian school lunches. it is often difficult to feel positive for the future, especially in an environment of weaponized selfishness and spite. it means a whole lot to be reminded that such selflessness and benevolence still exists in the world.
Thanks. That's the best thing I've seen all day. I was feeling down on the human race, until I saw this. People helping people. Awsome thank you. Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿
One of the things that stands out about almost all of these massive kitchens and batches is that the cooks are enjoying what they're doing. They may not have a smile on their face 24/7, but you can tell from the effort they put in that they love what they do. The last chef for the Korean dish said it best: "The best part is watching people eat and enjoy your food."
You don't have to! You can take that call any day! You can easily switch to something as basic as Indian cooking or heck even Greek cuisine which are plenty vegetarian!
think this is an experience that we are sorely missing in the western world. everyone needs to eat, so it just makes sense for everyone to help out in a community kitchen and feed everyone at the same time. we need strong community values like this.
In the western world people work to buy things such as toilet paper. In india and whatever else they showed,that is not a priority so yeah...more time for bs less time to bathe. Nothing like a bowl of mush sprinkled with chest hair and sweat for overweight pos
@@BLUEGENE13poverty rate is higher than you’d think. In the US, poverty rate is about 11% (2021). Around 20% in the UK (2020). And food insecurity is a major issue. US does have a high obesity rate and is very rich, but there are extreme wealth gaps.
@@BLUEGENE13 a lot more people are going hungry than you think. I volunteer for an organization that feeds struggling families at schools in a very affluent area. We have accrued hundreds of kids and families that need help. Please go out and volunteer in your area!

That is so good to hear. I am of Indian descent and loved Cuba. Stayed in Varadero and Havana. It was so easy to connect with people. So glad you are feeling connected to the Indian culture. I loved the rice and beans and plantain. And ofcourse the awesome rum and cigars 🎉
Most world prepares that massive quantities of food for world record or for show. Meanwhile in India the huge batches are cooked almost everyday for people consumption. When I see food prepared for awards, most of it goes to waste as charities don't take it and even people aren't able to eat it. The process of food preparation takes days to just assemble or at one place, in some cases it is different. But in India it's mostly cooked for single purpose of eating. Most langar, temple and akshay patra kitchen had been feeding upwards of thousands of people almost everyday without publicity. That's the beauty of Indian food kitchens. I have massive respect for each and everyone who does that to feed the hungry.
I've seen some of these methods in various ways over time, but it is really, really cool to see all of it combined here in a video. I would really love to see this video resonate among people and their idea of eating. One thing that stands out to me is the community. Not just feeding a community, but eating as a community. Offer a plate of what you've made to a neighbor, invite those same neighbors over to eat next time, take some extra leftovers and make a hot meal and pass it out to those who need it. There are so many ways to involve community. I love taking my lady out for a dinner, don't get me wrong, but I love more-so when her and I share what we've made with others.
I'm not surprised that most of the video is from India.... That's why India is a diverse country... In India their many places who makes a huge huge amount of food.. thanks for such a great video...🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳💗💗
Many people wonder how India is able to feed and support its 1.3 billion plus population (more than that of entire Africa). The reason being Indian's eat a lot of plant food and vegetables. Even those who are non vegetarian, eat a lot of vegetables. India has a very low average meat consumption per capita. What this means is that a lot of vegetables and plant food is not wasted. This also means a lot of water, land and vegetation is not wasted to raise meat like in many countries. India will never depend on any other nation but itself to feed its population because of this uniqueness
There are so many other factors that play into that than just eating vegetables. It has so much more to do with the population density around areas that are productive agriculturally which means less food is wasted in transport as well as a culture that doesn’t live in excess like other countries. The cities are built around rivers or are in areas that get enough rainfall to support crops. India is 1/3 the size of the us and is over 3 times the population of the us. India is a mix of third world and first world country but the first world citizens and areas don’t live in excess to the degree that us Americans do. They make meals that they need to survive rather than meals to make them so full that they stretch their stomach. The reason India is so successful is because they have so many rivers, are in a region that gets more rainfall than anywhere in the world, they are extremely densely populated, and their culture has a mindset of survival, not excess and waste.
Another important factor is that despite India not being the country with the largest surface area. It does have the largest amount of Arable land in the world. Slightly over 50% of all land in India is used in agriculture. The only country with a comparable amount of land suitable for agriculture is the US. But in the US only about 1/3 of the land suitable for agriculture is actually used in agriculture. In India that percentage is very nearly 100%. Then there is other factors such as the prevalence of rice. Rice is enormously efficient in terms of calories produced per km2 of land used. Of course the diet with smaller amounts of meat certainly does play a role. But it's certainly not the only factor on how India can sustain such a large population.
Well in India the culture of hospitality is of a different kind. The saying goes "The Guest is God" and as such, you'd be invited to participate in many of those festivals as a guest easily. If you'd wanna volunteer then depending on the festival and the state you're visiting you'd easily win some serious respect as well!!
It's actually free and India is very hospitable the best place a foreigner can visit in the golden temple it's basically easy to navigate since people go there to visit rest of them are like services.
I can certainly appreciate how all of these people are working together. It's a beautiful thing that noone is stabbing each other in the back to become the number 1 cook. Blessings!
36:55 Akshaya Patra does really great work and underrated (thanks to social media and internet many people are knowing about it), you guys captured their work soo well that i'm getting tears watching it
@@SuB-ym6do Partially funded majority is the donations they collect. government gives 5.46 Rs per meal I am sure you will not be able to get couple of tomatoes and a potato in local market for that.
35:40 horsemeat has actually seen a resurgence in Norway, after a scandal where some pre-made food had traces of horsemeat in it. That scandal made thousands of people curious, so they tried horsemeat from local butchers who had horsemeat and since then demand has been steadily going up because it turns out, horsemeat is delicious. Some salami sausages already had horsemeat in them, but now horse steak is not uncommon to see in butcher shops.
Indians live the most sustainable lifestyle on the planet, lowest per capita carbon footprint and lowest plastic usage. I guess their cuisine being mainly vegetarian and using local ingredients has a lot contribution for their lifestyles being so sustainable. Truly a remarkable culture that world needs to learn a lot from

@@92_09 Now imagine that river if India consumed plastics like Australia or Singapore you wouldn't even see water.

The bread in the tandoor is beautiful! I really enjoy watching these videos, it gives me so much appreciation for different cultures! I bet all those wonderful vegetables and breads taste and smell amazing ❤️
I know for a absolute fact that everything we see being cooks taste amazing because of the love that people put in to prepare and cook it. They are wonderful humans. 😊
1. Everything I ever tried of the Indian cuisine was absolute delight of flavors. The food looks delicious! 2. It looks like these bread loafs design also allows them to be stacked on top of each other while cooling without getting soggy because steam escapes through holes. Genius! 3. The part about school lunches made me tear up a bit... They are some of the most noble people in the world. Amazing foundation. Not just people who serve the kids a so-so meal and boast about their so called kindness, but they actually take care to serve kids something nutritious and tasty.
Pay your local Gurudwara (Sikh temple) a visit during Langar (Community Meals). Acts of service without any religious influence. Plenty you can do without having to step outta Canada.
lmao ok in the first segment, I was thinking "that rice isn't enough, how are they going to get more?" and then BOOM unlimited rice 🎉 it's amazing that everything costs just $3. Also, that guy 12:24, I love watching people who absolutely love the food that they eat.
I feel like if Indian vegetable dishes like this were available and doable without all of the expense and hastle of obtaining the ingredients in the UK - I could go veggie, not all the time, I wouldn't say "I'm a vegetarian" I would still eat meat, but all of that looks amazing, I could have that as my daily driver, no problem.
That's what most Indians are most Indians who claim to be non vegetarian do not eat meat nor more than two times a week .Cuisines of India(India Cuisine is an inappropriate word for a country as big as Europe) is a lot more than butter chicken .
@@praveenjujjavarapu9420 yup that me. Majority of us are 70-80% in regular meals and only 20-30% in non-veg. I haved lived in a few countries around the world for 12+ years (majority in UK) and I have always cook my meals at home...no matter how much time it took. Take outs / Junk food deliveries are less than 5% for me.
I was fortunate to visit Golden Temple last year and ate in the public kitchen...it was one of the tastiest food I even had...things were very organized and done in proper manner.
Its truly Amazing documentary. Those countries and people from everywhere come to gather very Happy & to share the most healthy delicious foods. It speaks out the World it can be more beautiful!!
What makes me proud to be an Indian is that all of the videos from India were daily cooking not just for special occasion… making 100,000 meals daily is crazy organisation and these guys have made it into a very systematic process
Everything is cool but the coconut part is not so good to watch. It will be good if they make some changes on that coconut drilling. Cause it's all over the body of those half naked chefs
I used to help my father cook three huge tureens of chili - mild, spicy, and vegetarian - for our Boxing Day house parties. Cooking large is quite different from regular cooking.
The volunteers are unlimited. They feel it their honor and duty to serve for the people. So, the moment someone feels worn, or wants to change their type of service, they can just leave, and someone else would be ready to replace them. Never been to Amritsar (golden temple), but there are multiple gurudwaras (sikh temple) around India, where they provide langar (free food). Had a privilege to attend one in Hyderabad. The atmosphere was amazing! You won't feel like coming out, everyone treats you like family. It's so happy atmosphere, you would forget your pains behind and come back a better person.
Why do you want to be the best country in the world though? Why does it matter? Why can’t you just be a great country? Why do you have to live in a country that’s “the best?”
no offence to people who are commenting but he is quite right about food and people, please go experience yourself and then you will have a second thought about LOL
I wish I could travel the world n see n taste good stuff. This looks so awesome, hardworking people warm peaceful communities. Nice to see this side of humanity once in a while, Bless 🙏🏾❤️
I have had the pleasure of volunteering at the Brahma Kumaris center kitchen when I was a kid with my Mum. The vibrations are amazing. Food is fantastic and people are really nice there.
Idea for vintage kitchen gadgets, do a full technical bake or three course meal using only antique/ vintage kitchen gadgets ie proper vintage weighing scales. Great episode guys thanks 👍
@@felixgeorge1----This set-up is top of the line, but it seems that in general, cleanliness is usually absent from the DNA of Indians. The street food is usually appealing, but the unsanitary condition of the containers, and area is appalling. Also they handle everything including cash, then grab the food with bare hands. They come in the mornings and you would think the first thing they would do is sweep the garbage from around their stalls, which create and harbor flies
Traditions through food, music and dance are my favorites to get to peek into! My spoiled American self did kinda gasp with the very visible lack of health code protocols I'm used to, working in kitchens. But look at it all! That's when you know the people are passionate about what they're doing ♥️
Oh don't gasp at those minor things, i'd much sooner do so at the horrible, sometimes literally carcinogenic or straight up poison the FDA allows in processed foods despite being banned pretty much anywhere else that's not a third world country. (Or worse, actually being banned even in third world countries...)
Gasp when your food companies sell junk food and even advertise directly to kids in other countries to sell their junk. Your food companies have killed entire generations in third world contries, killed their environment i.e. soil, water, air etc with their polluting manufacturing units just for profits. Gasp when your so called modern medicine treat just symptoms of diseases and kill people with their chemical medicines. For example, your body increases temperature to fight infection causing fever and your doctors reduce temperature by giving paracetamol and help the pathogens. Don't you guys have any brains?! On top of it you have such bad insurance system that your treatment cost are sky rocketing. Unfortunately other countries are following your path and soon will land themselves in trouble.
@@emirsehic1482 You are right,the average American has no clue how bad our food system is,and most countries including Europe has banned our food and the stuff in it. Its down right toxic and if you think the FDA/USDA protect you,think again. The people in India must have one heck of a immune system the way they cook and are likely better off for it.
nobody can compete with the sadya from kerala the aroma the taste is never compromised and no dishes in the world has these many flavours proud to be a Malayalee
What an incredible good documentary ✅ really enjoyed watching it this afternoon..it’s amazing how people come together to prepare such awesome cuisine ✅ so true that the love that people put in to make it is then passed onto the eaters, hence why it tastes so good 🙏🙏 cooking is definitely an art like making music..it’s such a spiritual experience for me to cook for others 🙏🙏 I love looking fresh healthy meals for my partner..👍so proud to be a vegetarian Indian myself ❤ it’s the best, most healthiest, balanced, nutritious and tastiest diet in the world ❤
This is absolutely amazing guys 🥰 I mean 🙄 it’s all done my hand!! Even the cutting 😳. I’m a vegan and this video is very heart warming and touching! I live in the states so I had no idea anyone anywhere still did manual labor anymore!! 😅
good grief, if I could smell any of those heavenly dishes it would be my undoing. 🤤🤤🤤 I'd love a serving of each of those glorious dishes, especially the first one on the banana leave and the pilaf/plov....and the halwa.....
one more thing for Indian religious cooking which is overlooked. There has to be a lot of focus on traditional practices and cleanliness as the food is served to the gods so there is a lot of discipline and routine constraints before they make anything tasty.
I am a great cook as long as I am cooking for 4 people lol.. Anything above that, goes down hill with an imbalances in form of salt, flavours or some type of error! Really look up to these chefs who create these huge portions of food and make it so tasty! It's an art.
I am really awe struck with how Sikhs who just form 2% of the entire population of India run the world's largest megakitchen and that too absolutely free. They are the most kind and generous people I have ever met.
The machinery at Baba Milan is remarkable, it expedites the process without losing any quality. Their kitchen also appears very sanitary, which is difficult to achieve at size. My favorite meal, personally, was the Barbacoa. The ovens are genius, the consommé looks delicious, the meat perfect, and those blue corn tacos, qué lindo!
Kudos to the journalist team :D The videos are so well filmed and edited, and the processes were explained in a comprehensive way. One small thing is maybe you can add some transition cue for each video because sometimes I'm confused if it's a new video or still the old one :)
India is an amazing country with diverse culture, but when I tried the Marathon dish, I was a bit shocked to see the cook preparing it without any protective gear or gloves. While the flavor was unique, watching him cook shirtless is definitely not for those with sensitive stomachs.
@@ParadoxicalSerenity That is good. All I am saying is that Indians shouldn't claim everything to be there's because most of the food in the Northern region of India is shared by other countries as well. And maybe the south as well, but I guess only with Sri Lanaka lol. That is my point.
i didn't intend to learn so much about different cultures and the kinds of food they eat within the last 2 or 3 months but i feel like ive become a lot more cultured or educated on foreign culture a lot with in that time, just from watching videos from this channel and other channels, i wish i had the resources to travel and see and taste these foods
This is AWESOME 😎 I like how you guys still keep traditions like what your wearing and how your cooking is hands in y, not machines. Also, I would sell all your coconut shells to the pet trade, they're used allot for hermit crabs and pet birds😊

Pay your local Gurudwara (Sikh temple) a visit during Langar (Community Meals). Acts of service without any religious influence. Plenty you can do without having to step outta Canada.
No child should go hungry no matter what part of the world they live . Blessings to you all that feed all the people
lmao ok in the first segment, I was thinking "that rice isn't enough, how are they going to get more?" and then BOOM unlimited rice 🎉 it's amazing that everything costs just $3. Also, that guy 12:24, I love watching people who absolutely love the food that they eat.
I feel like if Indian vegetable dishes like this were available and doable without all of the expense and hastle of obtaining the ingredients in the UK - I could go veggie, not all the time, I wouldn't say "I'm a vegetarian" I would still eat meat, but all of that looks amazing, I could have that as my daily driver, no problem.
That's what most Indians are most Indians who claim to be non vegetarian do not eat meat nor more than two times a week .Cuisines of India(India Cuisine is an inappropriate word for a country as big as Europe) is a lot more than butter chicken .
@@praveenjujjavarapu9420 yup that me. Majority of us are 70-80% in regular meals and only 20-30% in non-veg. I haved lived in a few countries around the world for 12+ years (majority in UK) and I have always cook my meals at home...no matter how much time it took. Take outs / Junk food deliveries are less than 5% for me.
I was fortunate to visit Golden Temple last year and ate in the public kitchen...it was one of the tastiest food I even had...things were very organized and done in proper manner.
Golden temple is truly paradise on Earth
Yo let me tap the pokie
Lol
ok
100%
12:25 that man is enjoying every morsel and he is so happy ❤
India is incredible no other country in universe offers so much ...
India is incredible, No other country in universe offers so much free food to people.
No other country has as many hungry ppl unfortunately. India has potential but I don’t have hope
@@chiragmehta8212 we are going strong. Don't loose hope man.
lol phone scammer and dirty men cooking just nasty
Good karma
@@leegoldr You are a rude person... there is no room in the heart for this
Its truly Amazing documentary. Those countries and people from everywhere come to gather very Happy & to share the most healthy delicious foods. It speaks out the World it can be more beautiful!!
Watching this makes me want to visit India soon. Thank you for sharing such beautiful cultural food.
The scale of the Golden temple kitchen is to be seen to be believed..
Every food cooked was amazing but for business. Whereas, every food kitchen shown in India is FREE and considered as service towards society. ❤️❤️🇮🇳🇮🇳
Ok raj calm down
Not all of them were free buddy
most of them, not all, but its very rare[almost impossible] in western world to see such a massive community kitchens
What makes me proud to be an Indian is that all of the videos from India were daily cooking not just for special occasion… making 100,000 meals daily is crazy organisation and these guys have made it into a very systematic process
It's truly impressive!
The care in which they prepare the children’s lunches is really impressive.
It's great they make it happen, but to be honest these meals do not look healthy and mostly packed with sugar.
Yup I liked it too❤️❤️
@@OBITOBO how come sugary? in the sweett dish? yes less than ur peanut butter and jelly sandwich. :)
Everything is cool but the coconut part is not so good to watch. It will be good if they make some changes on that coconut drilling. Cause it's all over the body of those half naked chefs
Amazing, such a rich culture they have in India 🙏
A culture the British couldn't toilet train!
@@jondurr Because Britishers don't care. What they really care about is Kohinoor and Gold treasures
I used to help my father cook three huge tureens of chili - mild, spicy, and vegetarian - for our Boxing Day house parties. Cooking large is quite different from regular cooking.
wow...some massive kitchens on here...big hands up too mall the organizations feeding the multitudes for free👌🏻💜🙏
These people deserve medals 🎖. Imagine peeling onions all day.
people power can scale any goal/activity
The volunteers are unlimited. They feel it their honor and duty to serve for the people. So, the moment someone feels worn, or wants to change their type of service, they can just leave, and someone else would be ready to replace them. Never been to Amritsar (golden temple), but there are multiple gurudwaras (sikh temple) around India, where they provide langar (free food). Had a privilege to attend one in Hyderabad. The atmosphere was amazing! You won't feel like coming out, everyone treats you like family. It's so happy atmosphere, you would forget your pains behind and come back a better person.
Kerala food is delicious.
Indian food is delicious.
Indians are great people.
That's why we are the best country in the world.
lol....
Why do you want to be the best country in the world though? Why does it matter? Why can’t you just be a great country? Why do you have to live in a country that’s “the best?”
no offence to people who are commenting but he is quite right about food and people, please go experience yourself and then you will have a second thought about LOL
I wish I could travel the world n see n taste good stuff. This looks so awesome, hardworking people warm peaceful communities. Nice to see this side of humanity once in a while, Bless 🙏🏾❤️
I love how she says "Big [Wait] Batches". It's honestly one of the reason why I watch this! 😅
Everything the Indian chefs made looked amazing
I have had the pleasure of volunteering at the Brahma Kumaris center kitchen when I was a kid with my Mum. The vibrations are amazing. Food is fantastic and people are really nice there.
Idea for vintage kitchen gadgets, do a full technical bake or three course meal using only antique/ vintage kitchen gadgets ie proper vintage weighing scales. Great episode guys thanks 👍
The care in which they prepare the children's lunches is really impressive..... Nice
The difference is between how south india makes food and north india makes food - the difference is in cleanliness
@@felixgeorge1----This set-up is top of the line, but it seems that in general, cleanliness is usually absent from the DNA of Indians. The street food is usually appealing, but the unsanitary condition of the containers, and area is appalling. Also they handle everything including cash, then grab the food with bare hands. They come in the mornings and you would think the first thing they would do is sweep the garbage from around their stalls, which create and harbor flies
I may not be Indian, but the food looks good! i can just taste it from the screen
Traditions through food, music and dance are my favorites to get to peek into! My spoiled American self did kinda gasp with the very visible lack of health code protocols I'm used to, working in kitchens. But look at it all! That's when you know the people are passionate about what they're doing ♥️
Oh don't gasp at those minor things, i'd much sooner do so at the horrible, sometimes literally carcinogenic or straight up poison the FDA allows in processed foods despite being banned pretty much anywhere else that's not a third world country. (Or worse, actually being banned even in third world countries...)
Gasp when your food companies sell junk food and even advertise directly to kids in other countries to sell their junk. Your food companies have killed entire generations in third world contries, killed their environment i.e. soil, water, air etc with their polluting manufacturing units just for profits.
Gasp when your so called modern medicine treat just symptoms of diseases and kill people with their chemical medicines. For example, your body increases temperature to fight infection causing fever and your doctors reduce temperature by giving paracetamol and help the pathogens. Don't you guys have any brains?! On top of it you have such bad insurance system that your treatment cost are sky rocketing. Unfortunately other countries are following your path and soon will land themselves in trouble.
@@emirsehic1482 🤡
@@emirsehic1482 You are right,the average American has no clue how bad our food system is,and most countries including Europe has banned our food and the stuff in it. Its down right toxic and if you think the FDA/USDA protect you,think again. The people in India must have one heck of a immune system the way they cook and are likely better off for it.
@@williamanstey6364 you should see how meat is produced lol
nobody can compete with the sadya from kerala
the aroma the taste is never compromised and no dishes in the world has these many flavours
proud to be a Malayalee
your food is good for you , ours is good for us , everybody loves their traditional food my dear. no comparison
I’m not even mallu but onam sadya>>> especially that avial and ada pradamam (I’m not sure how you spell it) like DAMNNN
Go and combust somewhere else
what about all the dirty underwear juice and the fact that indian restrooms dont have water for hand washing
@@joea6234
Reminds me of America
Great indian culture, this video shows how important is india for the world,
Crazy some of these kitchens are older than some countries and have been cooking longer than some cultures have been around.
Isn’t our planet is a wonderful place. This cultural diversity just breathtaking
then you sht yourself 12hrs later....
Imagine if the whole world cooperated like these amazing people. We could feed the world ten times over
India has so many community kitchens.
Food is meant to be a basic staple and not a luxury! As such healthy, non-processed, basic delicious filling meals are on offer for next to nothing!
@@justpreeth naked guys preparing it lol
We had famines earlier in which millions died of hunger. So feeding people is no.1 priority of Gov and temples.
this video made me so much more appreciation for Uzbekistan.
Same, all the nutrient dense foods. Yummy
Thank you for featuring my country Uzbekistan ❤
The food looks amazing!
Won't go hungry once there guaranteed
Love how they feed the kids so beautiful
What an incredible good documentary ✅ really enjoyed watching it this afternoon..it’s amazing how people come together to prepare such awesome cuisine ✅ so true that the love that people put in to make it is then passed onto the eaters, hence why it tastes so good 🙏🙏 cooking is definitely an art like making music..it’s such a spiritual experience for me to cook for others 🙏🙏 I love looking fresh healthy meals for my partner..👍so proud to be a vegetarian Indian myself ❤ it’s the best, most healthiest, balanced, nutritious and tastiest diet in the world ❤
This is absolutely amazing guys 🥰
I mean 🙄 it’s all done my hand!! Even the cutting 😳. I’m a vegan and this video is very heart warming and touching! I live in the states so I had no idea anyone anywhere still did manual labor anymore!! 😅
I agree with you and today I bought a vegetable called radish, it was a big chunk of the radish and I actually loved it!!! 😅
good grief, if I could smell any of those heavenly dishes it would be my undoing. 🤤🤤🤤 I'd love a serving of each of those glorious dishes, especially the first one on the banana leave and the pilaf/plov....and the halwa.....
My beloved India ... impressive the aspect of healthyness... in Western world we eat so much garbage by pre-processed convenience food products
I literally want to jump through the screen and eat this bread! Surely this bread is served in Heaven. 🥰😛
one more thing for Indian religious cooking which is overlooked.
There has to be a lot of focus on traditional practices and cleanliness as the food is served to the gods so there is a lot of discipline and routine constraints before they make anything tasty.
for those offering free foods, what they are doing is really amazing !! esp they are is vegetarian, this save lots of animals' life.
They all put so much compassion in their good food. And are so proud of their produce. This just made me smile. ☺️
I am a great cook as long as I am cooking for 4 people lol.. Anything above that, goes down hill with an imbalances in form of salt, flavours or some type of error! Really look up to these chefs who create these huge portions of food and make it so tasty! It's an art.
I am really awe struck with how Sikhs who just form 2% of the entire population of India run the world's largest megakitchen and that too absolutely free. They are the most kind and generous people I have ever met.
I usually visit Hindu temples in every city I visit in the states because they always make you feel like home
The machinery at Baba Milan is remarkable, it expedites the process without losing any quality. Their kitchen also appears very sanitary, which is difficult to achieve at size. My favorite meal, personally, was the Barbacoa. The ovens are genius, the consommé looks delicious, the meat perfect, and those blue corn tacos, qué lindo!
Kudos to the journalist team :D The videos are so well filmed and edited, and the processes were explained in a comprehensive way.
One small thing is maybe you can add some transition cue for each video because sometimes I'm confused if it's a new video or still the old one :)
India is an amazing country with diverse culture, but when I tried the Marathon dish, I was a bit shocked to see the cook preparing it without any protective gear or gloves. While the flavor was unique, watching him cook shirtless is definitely not for those with sensitive stomachs.
Totally agree! The hygiene standards really shocked me too.
Maybe next time, try a different dish that's prepared more hygienically!
I tried Indian street food once and ended up with a stomachache 🤢.
I get what you're saying, but the flavors are worth trying at least once.
@@JhamshinghJhamshingh-xx2gk what a terrible experience
So nice to them kids getting a nice clean safe meal
Okay, the Indian kitchen is pretty well done, with food tests and other smart features. hats off for that!
definitely need to visit Uzbekistan in the future their food looks so amazing
The man isn't lying when he says he really likes the food 12:24
5/12 belong to India. We are foodies and we eat together irrespective of cast, colour, creed, religion and region. I love my India.
Not everything belong SOLEY to india. There are countries that share the same dish so you can't just say they all belong to India.
@@moski9861there's way too many dishes that India has to offer. No other country can offer that
@@ParadoxicalSerenity That is good. All I am saying is that Indians shouldn't claim everything to be there's because most of the food in the Northern region of India is shared by other countries as well. And maybe the south as well, but I guess only with Sri Lanaka lol. That is my point.
@@ParadoxicalSerenityChina
@12:29 so happy. what a great responsibility to serve.
beautiful culture, people and food!
Indeed all those traditional dishes which was so amazed wid hygiene... Proud to b an Indian, cz indian dishes included in those culinary... 👌👍💐☺️
How many hairs they find in the food
@@mustlovedogs5569none
Such a amazing video! Thank you for sharing.
If only this was in America Indian food looks so fresh.
good way to get likes
That dough throw 👏🏼
India clearly dominates the free food distribution game!
What's covered here is not even the tip of the iceberg.....
Daaaaayum , love all these foods maan from every culture much love to everyone
The pots themselves are beautiful. I would love to try that food! Hello from Canada!
Such a beautiful video. Preparing with that dedication is amazing… great video
Love love Indian food
i didn't intend to learn so much about different cultures and the kinds of food they eat within the last 2 or 3 months but i feel like ive become a lot more cultured or educated on foreign culture a lot with in that time, just from watching videos from this channel and other channels, i wish i had the resources to travel and see and taste these foods
This is AWESOME 😎 I like how you guys still keep traditions like what your wearing and how your cooking is hands in y, not machines. Also, I would sell all your coconut shells to the pet trade, they're used allot for hermit crabs and pet birds😊
