Ya and if u r not Indian there's a hint of info for u . He kept calling her paalak. Not palak which in Hindi actually means spinach. I mean does this guy think about something else at all I was proud of his dosas tho
I know 😂 I make dosa 4-5 days out of 7 days in a week and I was like why is this fancy. Just goes to show food habits of different people/place. And also the ingredients for chutney etc gets used very less like one or two tablespoons so a lot of that would be left. The home cook did their best coz many people who eat dosa also can't make it properly.
Why is everyone shocked about the cost? The ingredients cost that much, not the final product. And generally you will reuse the ingredients later on. So one dosa will not really cost $100 or $17.
The $100 would most likely be made by people that make a lot of food from the region so would likely use the ingredients in future as opposed to the person making $17 dish so the unused ingredients would end up setting in spice cupboard
Sharif actually means noble or respectable, someone who's an ideal person and doesnt do anything bad or doesn't have any bad habits... in hindi. and Palak (if pronounced P-aa-lak) means Spinach.
Well, I never knew what a Dosa was until today. This is a fascinating way to show different ends of the scale - and what lovely lovely people, all smiles and happy and having fun. That educated me AND cheered me up. Thankyou all.
It's a possibility that the soaked ingredients are organic. Spices can get expensive (you may wanna pause the part where he guessed the price as they were tallied in detail) and they didn't look like the kind you get from Indian Store. Fresh, quality spices makes a difference.
Epicurious has discovered the gold mine that is Indian views haha. Love it. Fun fact: His pronunciation of 'Palak' is spinach in many Indian languages.
Shariff just made my day! He's so enthusiastic about the dish that he makes! And the fact that he doesn't want to mess up with expensive ingredients is totally how I would feel lol
🥰 Reminds me of when I was making dosas for shivaratri in Tamil Nadu...the circular movement with the spoon is surprisingly tricky, and I was using top notch dosa batter made by the ashram aunties so it was all on me 😂
The trick is to not add any ghee or oil to the pan before putting in any batter..... The pan should be dry of any fat so that the batter sticks to the pan..... After swirling the batter around the pan, then add the fat so that the dosa doesn't stick and comes off perfectly.
yeah greasing ot with ghee or oil before pouring the batter would increase the temperature of tawa much faster ! starting on medium heat would do good !
Damn I can get 2 for a dollar at a local street vendor & he'll be using all the same ingredients (almost😉)... Cant believe all this costs so much across the planet 😅

It is great to see Shariff struggling and asking for help. I have tried to make dosa a couple of times and struggled at the same stage. Great to see he got the help and success. I have tried both the box which you can get in the store as well as doing it from scratch. Normally would not have bothered, but pandemic has forced me to learn....

Great video! I love watching the home cook trying to ferment the batter as I've tried many times in a cold climate and have failed. But I will say Palaks ingredients aren't fancier, it's just how someone would make dosa from scratch and many Indian people and there parents/grandparents from South India make dosas at home with those ingredients. So rather than saying dosa that coasts $107 vs $17, it should be dosa from scratch vs instant dosa. Edit: watching Sharif reminds me of me when I was learning to cook. The Dosa batter clumping in the pan struggle is real!!
This is a dish I've never tried before, but it looks delicious! Loved the section where Shariff finally got it right, with a tiny bit of assistance :) Shows how some chef-y tricks can really bring a dish together if it didn't come out right in the first place!

Usually I prefer when the chefs have to be creative with only minor substitutions. But in this case I'm 100% behind the spice additions. Absolutely necessary.
it doesn't translate to spinach... but adding another 'a' after 'pa' would do it.. i mean paalak and Palak is too different ! Palak roughly translates to Eyes !
Palak really worked out that box dosa really well. As a regular dosa eater, I was shocked. I was also surprised Shariff did the dosa correctly in his probably 10th try. It took me 50 tried to learn how to swirl that. Hats off to you man. You did South Indians like me proud.

but some stuff was literally necessary... like how are you gonna have a chutney without any spice? and cumin and lime are like the basic tadka spice, it will taste terrible without these additions
What bothered me is that i don't think the prices listed for each recipe are accurate and consistent between the chef and home cook recipe lol. Since for the $100 chef recipe, they're including the whole prices of the spices and the other ingredients but not all of it is used for one dosa.

If you think about it, Mysore Masala Cheese dosa has more ingredients than the $104, and yet it cost not more than $3 - $6 in luxury restaurants and not more than $1.5 in local stalls... Might be coz it's a part of South Indian staple/common food. But the price really got me thinking :)
I really appreciate the homecook..you did awesome..making dosas is still difficult for many Indians and u did pretty well..one of the best episodes where the authenticity of the recipe is maintained
I know this is an old episode but they way they use the ingredients in newer ones is so much better, i wish palak only used the ingredients she was given, part of the magic of the new episodes is that the chef make something amazing with stuff thats so simple
For a moment, I was horrified by the idea of $100 dosas, and was about to blow my top about "gentrification" of Indian cuisine, but Palak's ingredients are actually pretty standard and I'm guessing its the amount they were bought in that made the price so high.
Palak's dosa was pretty much the same as the one a girlfriend from college would make when we'd have study sessions. I was in my 30s before I bothered to even ask her if something other than potato could be a filling. Why would I? My friend's dosas were the best ❤

I love how he kept trying. Kudos to both of you.
Indians in the chat section will be on fire😂🔥
Ps I'm saying this before watching the video 😂
If you think about it, Mysore Masala Cheese dosa has more ingredients than the $104, and yet it cost not more than $3 - $6 in luxury restaurants and not more than $1.5 in local stalls... Might be coz it's a part of South Indian staple/common food. But the price really got me thinking :)
Early here so now is my chance to let people to know that 100 people can’t be first
I was the true first person...
@@saiarjunallamaraju7403 no u r not done guy named Tim was first I saw on the filters

LoL that’s true
Thyda Cooking TV hi I luv ur vids
I really appreciate the homecook..you did awesome..making dosas is still difficult for many Indians and u did pretty well..one of the best episodes where the authenticity of the recipe is maintained
We want more Indian Dishes here on the show!! 🙌🏻
I know this is an old episode but they way they use the ingredients in newer ones is so much better, i wish palak only used the ingredients she was given, part of the magic of the new episodes is that the chef make something amazing with stuff thats so simple
For a moment, I was horrified by the idea of $100 dosas, and was about to blow my top about "gentrification" of Indian cuisine, but Palak's ingredients are actually pretty standard and I'm guessing its the amount they were bought in that made the price so high.
I can’t believe the pro chef dosa with all those exact ingredients i have been having my entire life could actually cost 104 dollars😮
Dear Americans,
Her name literally means Spinach
Focus on pronunciation
unless it's supposed to be eyelash, but pronounced in an anglicised manner
Her name is Palak not Pālak, the latter of which means spinach. Maybe learn some Hindi, macha XD
@@Astavyastataa people are likelier to name their kid eyelash in Hindi than spinach , macha.
He's just trying to be edgy guys because he's too cool
Watching 17$ and 104 $ dosa while eating my home made crispy dosa with sambhar and chutney.
SIMPLY PRICELESS.
None of these dosas and chutney will taste as good as moms dosas.
Well said
Amen
What is your mom's recipe
Palak's dosa was pretty much the same as the one a girlfriend from college would make when we'd have study sessions. I was in my 30s before I bothered to even ask her if something other than potato could be a filling.
Why would I? My friend's dosas were the best ❤
Frank is still making his box
I thought this was a challenge. She used 10+ items/ingredients from her own kitchen. That wasn't his recipe, let alone 17$.
Not fair on his behalf.
