- During the making of my documentary film "End of the Raaj", I asked the participants to list their favourite Anglo-indian food. This short film is about anglo-indian cuisine.

Thanks for this video. It made me nostalgic with memories going back to my childhood. I am an Anglo Indian but have not been able to keep much of my heritage. Now in Canada, but my childhood was in Chunar, a small city near Allahabad, my grandpa was a railway man who like many other Anglo Indian's from the railways, settled in Chunar. Sarah
My naanis father was also In the railways. They were the heritage thaT has made the Indian Railways such a success today! But the food I really miss I'd the dak bunglawroast etc
Hey glad too meet up another anglo indian... would love to share our recipes with you.. wanna try some salt beef or salt pork this Christmas? Take care
Just watched this again after a long time. My mum's family are Anglo-Indian. Tracing them back 300 years, all surnames are English. Mumma came to the UK on her marriage in the 1930s. I grew up in London and this was our regular food. So many memories here. I had forgotten pish pash. Thank you so much!
My Naani was Anglo. She married a Lahori Brahmin in Bareilly back in the 50s. She passed away 3 days back and I am shattered. 🙏🙏🙏pls pray for our Family! I was very close to her. I used to go to stay with her in Shimla and Amballa whenever I had vacations from my Mumbai school days. On one occasion in the village they stuck a wild boar in the fields! And then they gave my Naani the choicest back leg of the boar. She then made a dish called Wild Boar Pickcle! It was the tastiest stuff I have ever eaten in my life! I must have finished that entire jar of wild boar pickle in 3 days! I ate it all day. Just yum! 😛😛
Omg! I HAVE to show this to my Dad, Clayton Beale. In the early 70's he and my Mum Patsy (Patricia) opened up the first Indian spice shop and health food store in our area of western Sydney. I think mostly everyone in the Indian, Anglo-Indian, Pakistani, Anglo-Burmese communities as well as many others have and still know him or have at least bought stuff from him at one time. And one of his suppliers was a Jewish guy, Eze Moses. Later when I really acquired a taste for hotter food, my eyes were really opened up to his knowledge of the whole of Indian cooking, as everyone knows he's a walking encyclopaedia of that stuff. Charmaine Solomon he knew as well. If only I knew you were making this film a while ago I would have got him to speak to you too!

Do you know a Mr. John Beale who used to teach at St. Paul’s High School in Rangoon, Burma? He had red hair and wore glasses. He was my teacher and I was quite fond of him then and still think about him. If you or anyone know him and if he is still around, then I’d love to communicate with him. Back in the day, I was known as Peter Madha and like him, I also had red hair and I also wore glasses. Now, I go by my birth name Usman Madha. Thanks in advance
Wow this made me go back to a time in my life when everything was good . Not a worry in the world . The anglo Indian food LOVE ANGLO INDIAN PEOPLE N CULTURE. one day I'll go back to India 🙏🙏🙏

It is soo nostalgic to see vids on The Anglo Indian community.... Miss my dad.... 'doll' and rice... My friends never understood what that was and I didn't understand why they were not aware of the dal hehehe... We used to have this person come in every Sunday from whom dad would, With utmost care buy smoked cheese, bakharkhani.... Ohhh this has just opened the flood gates to beautiful memories..
Hats of to you Paul for putting this together wish you all the best.
God bless.

I enjoyed reading all the information given by the Anglo Indian from various parts of India. It made me very home sick. I also learnt alot about the early years and the birth of the Anglo Indian community. It was very informative. Thanks for giving us the update.
It's wasn't Christmas without Kal Kals
Community of best teachers
Ah...my lovely Nana made the best kofta curry, 'doll' & rice and of course Pish Pash too. Loved seeing my Cousin Br. Beddoe again! Great video @GoMoreFilms!:)
Great video. Fascinating to hear and watch the food traditions and names.
Hope all these angloindians will come back to india and all settle in one place and preserve their unique mixed culture
How many will be willing to give up the comforts of the West & go to India & start life all over? !st of all, the Hindu's in India should accept that there are other religions in India that can co-exist with them.
I doubt that will ever happen. Too much division within.
I am a 3rd generation Indian descended from indentured labourers brought to Trinidad, West Indies, from India, to work on the sugar cane plantations after the abolishment of African Slavery. Our "Indian" foods here obviously are an adaptation of what my ancestors ate in India, and are quite nice, enjoyed by non-indian-descendants also. While the video was playing, I could have identified lots of similarities with the Anglo-Indian foods. Dhal, made with yellow split-peas imported from the USA is still popular here !
I recently ate some Carribean Indian food and it was delicious. Some great cuisine in your part of the world!
Grew up in Shillong with Anglos and studied in a convent so we used to lead a typical Anglo Indian kind of lifestyle. Yellow rice with meatballs at my neighbors, panthras-both made with mince or coconut and pishpash were my favourites.Jhalfrezi with simple 'dol'and rice,vindaloo with a dash of sweet mango chutney on a cold day are simple pleasures I can recall!
Pragya Deb Burman , I am an A.I from Calcutta and attended St. Mary’s College, Laitumkrah, Shillong, albeit many many years ago. 1947 to 1949. I was doing my Intermediate Science course although I used to go to St. Edmunds College for my science classes. The only other convent I remember was Loreto. Shillong at that time was idyllic. So peaceful, beautiful and tranquil. I am 87 now and living in London but will always cherish the time I spent in Assam. I am glad to hear you enjoy A.I. Cuisine.
Growing up in Kolkata was the best thing that happened to me !
Thank man for making my day
aw dam
now I wanna eat kati rolls and biryani from nizams
My heart just melted. My dad wouldve been so proud as he was of the lineage! Ball curry and yellow rice it is! ♥️
Yum!
Great to get refreshed in the Anglo way of cooking and eating
cutlet, chops, rolls, kofta balls. all kolkata favorites.
Very well made!
Proud be a Anglo Indian
My Grandma used to make the best Kati Rolls...Not to mention, 'doll, rice and meat-fry'! I'll miss her and her cooking :) Thanks for the upload
I once enjoyed some of the Anglo Indian food; was fabulous.
Went back to my childhood in Calcutta
I grew up in Calcutta! 😊😇
great food , great memories of old calcutta . the sunday lunch by the poolside of the dalhousie institute, calcutta was legendary : ball curry, yellow rice or palao, paparam, green salad, pantharas ,and a caramel custard pud for the kids. and of course, lots of beer and lots of good cheer.
"Mother in law's chutney", this I got to try. Bet it beats the other horse in the race, namely "Devil's chutney". . LoL
Fascinating nostalgia. Would have loved to see the food preparations with recipes .. maybe a follow on?
Go to Anglo Indian recipes in Face Book. A lovely group , where many post with great recipes.
Wow... My mouth just filled with saliva... 🤤
The last man made me laugh my lungs out....Anyways, glad to have had most of those dishes😍
Madras Anglos says matcurry manjachor... means Beef curry & yellow rice.
My family always called Meat Ball Curry as Bad Word Curry! Never by it’s land colloquial term. Also sponge cake and beef devil fry, mince,peas and potatoes. Now that’s bringing back some good memories.
Great vedio. How about bringing all the anglo indian dishes on record and creating a college to spread the culture
Absolutely proud of our Anglo Indian Heritage & Culture. Wouldn’t change it for all the tea in China.😁
Thanks for the Vedio, Brown stew,potato chops stuffed with flattened meat and spices,Coconut rice ball curry and devil or green chillie chutney,
Pepper fry,Dumpling stew,Brinjal bake,Rabbit stew, Doll rice and red fry,Duck or Turkey roast.Kutty pie,Tripe,Salted tongue and beef,Ding Ding are some of the Anglo indian ♥ delicacies that I know of Cheers 🍻 👍 👌
Wow
I love my kofta curry and yellow rice.
specially eat it in the Sundays
Yes, I can just taste those Kati rolls from Nizams in Cal. Unfortunately, I don't know how to make them, every time I went to my uncles place in Cal, he would order them and we as kids would just be so excited.
Oh god Glassy and Vindalu, my absolute favorites.
No mention of roast beef or even ox tongue roast? Bread pudding, plum cake for Christmas, Easter eggs, Kal -kals, ginger biscuits, caramel custard or chutney sandwiches? and is there a bit of Anglo in kichadi? Wow. Even papads got a variation in poppadums! Guys hang on. Mashed potato and cutlets seemed so rare now. Forgotten? Okay, okay, I'll settle for even yellow rice and ball curry.
Please make a video of recipes too
Oh and what about the Anglo style Fish Moloo (moili), with coconut rice and a hot bowl of Mulligatawny soup,topped with rice, lemon and shredded chicken?!
Kofta or ball curry and yellow rice is must at Anglo Indian homes.
I’m technically Anglo Indian by way of America, (Indian father, mother of mixed Indian and English/German/Welsh Americans. Not culturally the same, but we share the same blood!
There are thousands of Anglo Indians in my hometown Kharagpur.
What about the pork bhuni, prawn malli Tampradoo, 🦀crab curry, turtle cury, hilsa fish postoo curry, masala beef steak curry, beef Hossaney curry., madras curry with beef, coconut and curry leaves. Then for dinner it was mince mold, crochet beef, potatoe chops, fish cutlets, baked brinjal and tomato fillings with minced meat stuffings. With all the boiled vegetables, sweet chill tomato sauce, fresh bakers German loaf fish shape bread with blue margarine. Gone are those day's were my grandmother and mom loved looking. And it's an art. I brought beef for Re 1.25p a kilo. Those were the days every young and elderly woman would enter the church with a scarf on their heads. Such was the reverence and respect we had for God. And all in their best sunday dress. Men in tie or bow tie.
Stew is also there. My favs are sausages, vindealoo, Aloo bharta, dul 😋
kulkul,rose cooky my fav.
Berry O Brien Sir.. You're an awesome person.. Love from Guwahati!! I've seen your brain jam show & I loved it.
omggg this vid made me want some kaati rools from nizaam (calcutta)...lool i loved hearing thaackkk angloo
Wow..also to add pork roast and cuttipai and pachoni ...and also plum cakes.
@sierraleonne111 OMG YOU TOO?!?!?!?! I love katti rolls...especially from Nizams!
Is "Jalfreizy" of Anglo-Indian origin? I hope I have spelt it correctly; can't spell but can surely eat and enjoy.
I love vindaloo and jalfrejy and sausages and practical all the AI food,after all I'm an AI
My mom makes the most amazing kofta curry for sure
❤🎉
The Anglo indian food prepared differed from different states in India.
Multi-cuisine restaurants can add these varieties of cusine in their menu.... The more the merrier... Kashyap
Great memories.
Many , many thanks!
Whatever i make comes nowhere to these ..Green Kofta Curry & Coconut Rice comes to mind.(amazing taste)..i recall Bandel Cheese also. (smoked cheese)
We had curry for lunch but English food for dinner.
I thought Anglo food is fry and pepper water
Come to think of it "Devil's chutney" sounds a good name for a race horse.
In families that have Christian heritage you can see a lot of these dishes. I see that in my family. I am not Anglo-Indian, but in a Christian family for about 5 generations. I see many of theses items in our food.
kofta curry....? but my family always said ball curry nd yellow rice all these years... :D
Over-cooked, mushy rice is also called pish-pash
My grandmom would make hell's flame. Is it the same as devil's chutney?
Being anglo but vegan since babyhood
Anglo indian rdcipes
I love my mums “pish pash”
the best Anglo dish is “phudi vindaloo”. make sure the phudi is hot wet and ready!
I'm sorry but this bloke doesn't know what a vindaloo is. It was not vegetables etc.
You're correct. Vindaloo is derived from vin d'alhos which means that the pork is stewed in wine and garlic.
When we were small I remember having veg stew and bread in uncle white,s house it was very nice I remember the lady still lingering in my mouth
Angloindian were the best cooks
How many Anglo Indians left in India 100k?
300k actually
Aviatoraccounts Videos still not even 0.1% of India
I'm a north Indian Brahmin and some Anglo Indians are my father's friend so I can relate with this.
who says that AIs don't like English food? What about Roast, Steak, Grill, Irish Stew etc. .. and for heaven's sake stop calling it 'ball curry' .. it's kofta curry/yellow rice.
Proud to be an Anglo Indian.Only one thing, If I may say so, Anglos always said "ball curry"
they all look indian tho
Not all anglos get help.
Who are these anglo Indians? They aresad people hanging on to something.
Dorothy to answer your question without being too legal, Anglo Indians are children of mixed parents where the male was English & the female was indian.They came into being as a community during the British rule in India & were defined in various legislations. It would not be correct to call us sad people hanging onto something. We are a happy community that represents a casual attitude to life with dance & music. But we are not without outstanding success as a talented community in Sport, industry, armed forces, the arts, education & so on. Many of us have emigrated abroad & have become global citizens. We have progressed as much as any other community, but like all humans we remember our childhood & in this instance we remember with nostalgia the delicious food of our community. We do not hang onto anything, we simply remember with nostalgia & joy the happy days of our childhood. Amidst our progress & success, we are not embarrassed about our past,we are in truth proud to be angloindian.
Agree with you Mr. Adrian Kennedy.
Before commenting make a proper study and gather your facts.
We are far from sad people. We too come like any other human being with our sets of skills, talents and abilities which have helped us wherever we are settled now, whether in India or abroad.
The unfavorable mindset and generalized views of the community do injustice to what we've contributed in the past and continue to contribute.
It seems that they intentionally buthered all those popular Indian names for those dishes and just weirdly anglosized them with fake accent and nonsensical names.....👍
But fine....nice🙏
