  • My first day in India, and it started off wonderfully! There was food at every street corner selling street food, snacks, fruits, and you'll never find yourself going hungry.
    I haven't heard of the many dishes I tried in this video, and I'm so excited to share my experience in India with you guys!

      @@cricketknowall I don't think so because Mike has often made it clear he loves his meat. Also the guy was knowledgeable with the ingredients and really gives depth to helping us understand what's in that local dish. Also Mike wouldn't go around telling people who he is so for the guy to know him, the guy's definitely a fan. At least he's not bringing him around 'tourist trap' restaurants and to the 'cool' local places. If it were me I'd be honoured to bring Mike around for a tour. You just sound like a salty vegetarian from the way you commented.

      The biggest issue with Indian food is the excessive use of oil and butter. Paneer is pretty much cheese so obviously it's not the best thing to eat everyday. When I cook Indian food at home I barely use any oil and it still tastes really good. My point is that you can't use this video as an example of Indian food.

      You might want to choose your geography of visit before planning a trip. There are on an average 5-10,000 dishes per state and each of them has a world of variation in them. So, for example, if you want to go to southern India, make a flexible plan because if you want to take the experience in, you'll need a lot of time in each state.

    Unfortunately, when immigrant Chefs bring their native cuisine to other countries, they have to 'water down' the recipes to appeal to a wider audience that isn't comfortable with powerful flavor or spices. Travel does spoil your palate. The same foods at home now seem bland. Make friends with the Chef and staff and you might get something more 'authentic' that they make for themselves...

      Yeah, and watch CZcams videos of cooking recepies by native cooks with lots of followers! I watch Indian cookery videos all the time and make my own. There is a large local Indian population so getting authentic ingredients is not a problem. Also go to the restaurant that is filled with people looking for a taste of home. If an indian restaurant is full of Indians etc (or any ethnic cuisine) order what they are having!

      Also another factor is ingredients. Both quality and age. Not all ingredients are added/available outside of India.
      Indian food is also about timing and freshness. Just baked roti out of tava(within 2 min) tastes totally different. All ingredients have to be strictly fresh, no frozen vegetables, frozen preparations.
      This changes flavor a lot.

      I once had the chef make special butter chicken for me from scratch because that's the way he would make it in India and it was on par with the best I've had in India. I complimented the dish to the owners who added it to the menu as "Delhi style butter chicken" and it's their best seller now. The only reason he offered was that I was having lunch at 4:30 and there was only one other table that was occupied.

      I agree! To see what foreigners do to the sacred Swedish meatball is borderline sacreligious! The same goes for indian food here in Europe. Thankfully more and more restaurants are starting to cook more authentic food since people are getting more and more well travelled, at least here in Sweden!

      @Qaasim Hussain Year 10 biryanis frum Iran genius. It was brought to the Indian Subcontinent (which Pak was a part of that time) by the Mongols. The Mongols created the Mughal Empire and then Biryani spread throughout the subcontinent. Try to get the facts right. Also Hyderabad is a place where mainly muslims reside so in India def OG biryani is found there. Im sure in pak all over the place you'd find great Biryani as well. My own obs is Muslims create the best Biryani ever :3 (I am an ex hindu and an ex budddhist)

And that is not to put any country's food down, there are tons of great dishes out there i love, more then indian food, but when it comes down to spice, Indian food it has a range thats so amazingly wide that makes it unique in there own way.

      California would be a good place to start. Due to Silicon Valley, there are a large number of Indians and as expected Indian restaurants popped up eventually (techies side jobs). They're very close to authentic Indian food so you can try it out there if you want. Next best place would be New Jersey for the same reasons. After that London has many authentic Indian restaurants.
