- Day four in Kerala, India continued in the beautiful Thekkady area, where I had the pleasure of witnessing a traditional cultural performance and made some delicious Indian food! Come along with me as I check out a traditional Kathakali eye dancing performance and make some Kerala beef roast and parottas in Thekkady, India!

After our 4.5-hour road trip from Alappuzha, I headed to a local theater to watch an authentic Kathakali performance and a martial arts performance called Kalaripayattu! Kathakali is a classical Indian dance that tells stories based in Hindu myths, legends, and folklore.
I had a reserved seat front and center in the first row with my boy Dennis from the Woodnote Resort. For the first ten minutes, they prepared the main performer’s clothing and put the jewelry on him. He wore vibrant green makeup and a really elaborate costume! The makeup takes about 30 minutes beforehand.
The show got started with some drumming and a different performer wearing yet another colorful and elaborate costume. One of the prominent elements of Kathakali is eye dancing, where the performers move their eyes and faces in an exaggerated way in time to the music. It takes years to be able to do it correctly and is really cool to watch!
Then, they bring audience members on stage, which is really funny! Then, the real performance, complete with arm movements and dancing while the drummer played and a singer sang in the background, began.
Afterwards, we ran to the martial arts performance! It was so cool. They did sword fighting with shields, stick fighting, flipping, and so much more. My favorite was when they jumped through a flaming ring!
Then, we headed back to the Woodnote Resort to have some Kerala parottas and beef roast at their on-site restaurant, Drizzle. Our buffet-style meal would include paneer, butter chicken, ghee rice, and more. My mouth was watering just looking at everything.
I headed to the kitchen to see how they make parottas and beef curry and even tried making some parottas myself, but they were way too hot to smash with my hands!
Back in the buffet area, I got some ghee rice, paneer, and butter chicken. It was so vibrant and colorful, I wanted to just lick it! Then, the beef roast and parottas arrived at our table.
The beef roast was probably the best beef I’ve ever had in my life. It contained lots of onion but wasn’t too spicy. I loved the tomatoes and curry leaves in it as well.
The parottas were so flaky and the beef roast was so good that I wanted it all to myself! And the combination of textures was unbelievable. The coconut milk flavor also really burst out of it!
Then, I tried the ghee rice with the paneer. The rice had absorbed all the curry, but it had way too much ghee in it. The curry was very similar to the butter chicken curry. The butter chicken was amazing! Then, I mixed the beef roast with the ghee rice. I loved the combination! It was really spicy, though. My tongue was basically dead at that point!
For dessert, we had gulab jamun, a northern Indian dessert. I loved the sweet syrup and mushy texture. What an amazing way to end my night! Huge thanks to my boy Ebbin for bringing me to Thekkady to experience the traditional Kathakali performance in Kerala, India! Be sure to follow him on CZcams and Instagram!

Again BEEF and POROTTA, we love you David Hoffman...
ONE THING I NOTICED, YOU DON'T LEAVE A STONE UNTURNED IN COVERING THE HISTORY, CULTURE & HERITAGE OF A REGION ALONG WITH THEIR FOOD, COSTUME & LIFESTYLE.
I would fly to India tomorrow if I could to eat at that restaurant. Oh my goodness, everything looks delectable. I will dream of that food tonight❗
The only channel where I let the ads play so that David can eat more spicy food
People who are watching this apart from India please ignore the comment's about beef since there are lot of idiots in my county I would recommend you to not read the comment's and spoil the mood. Please enjoy the video. Kind request to David please disable the comment section when beef is involved in Indian cuisine
Dude.......do u mean it in a positive sense or.........????
Love from Suriname keep it up
And be safe 💪
*O!! Yes, sir re- Bob. I want this & I want that_ Why can't I just get all of it than? & have some "Leftovers" for tomorrow. If you knows, what I mean? Anyways! Nice job & thanx, for playing Weekdays video.*
Kalaripayattu First Martial Art in the World
The beef roast and Kerala porotta was epic!! Now this is the beef roast with porotta that I wished to see you have from the beginning of your Kerala trip. The first time u had porotta and beef curry soon after your long travel was at a random street vendor serving up crude red hot beef curry. This one though was quality all along!!
Awesome performance and great costumes!
16:33 Tamil Nadu 🥺❤️🤙
Mallus N Tamils has a Very strong friendship bond compared to others
പൊറോട്ടയും ബീഫും കഴിച്ച കാലം മറന്നൂ..!

Love from India🇮🇳 😍🥰🥰
I enjoy ur episodes with ur beautiful dad... He is seriously beautiful... Great dad...❤️👌🤘🤘🤘👍😘
Kathakali is not the only eye dance... this is the only art form in the world( if I am correct), you can enjoy three differrent ways. First ,that even without seeing, by only hearing the song... you can enjoy, secondly you can enjoy the drum beatings, and the thrid... dance....
Who likes kerala 👍🏻👍🏻
David got the real experience of kerala
Wow amazing kerala lov uuu toooo that tradition and culture
Nice content you deserve more views
OMG....ID LOVE TO GO TO INDIA AND EAT THE FOOD THERE!!!!DAVID IM LIVING MY TRAVEL LIFE THREW U✌👍LOL
The cooks hands are used to dealing with the hot heat of the food,your hands got a heat treatment! Foods looks so good
Beef 🥩 and paratha delicious 😋 🤤🤤
David is gifting us some delicious torture during this lockdown......Thanks David.....Stay Safe bro
Love from India
Beef 🥺🥺 ..beef roast missing it
U should try cooking... U will definitely enjoy it a lot... U just have it in yourself.
The Intro sounds😌😅😂
Kathakali usually tells stories/tales from Ramayana, Mahabharata and other Hindu mythologies in the form of expressions
After this lockdown ends all I want is beef and porotta!!
Are the buffets expensive?
Uh oh. Some people not gonna be happy about beef.
its call diversity ::)
lol people so salty on youtube XD
@@Davidsbeenhere exactly
@Ashish Sawant Radical hindutva is also diversity
That beef was buffalo. Not cow. Just informing haters.
not necessarily it could be cow too. but buffalo is tasty
Even if it is cow who they fuck are they to get offended.
In Kerala both cow and water buffalo meats are available. I've tried both😇
sudhakaran nair not at all it’s very much easily available in Kerala but doesn’t have the market as much as the buffalo 🐃 meat 🥩 as it doesn’t taste good as much as buffalo meat 🍖
@sudhakaran nair just go to Erumeli and Mundakkayam side, you will get plenty of cow meat.
Amazing food man 👌👌
This is what we call commercialisation of culture....
Only way culture can survive it it wants to
Those people who do Kathakali and all need to eat and earn too right... Food doesn't come free
Welcome to keralam😃
What they do at kadathanathan is an insult to both the art forms.. It's only to cheat tourists... From Rs. 200 tickets for each show, 100 goes to your taxi / cab driver.Same goes for spice garden visit & elephant ride... All commission basis... Total ripoff... I was a wildlife guide in Thekkady, so I know

Porotta & Beef🔥🔥🔥
Are u hindu??
@@pappaguha2067 I don't identity with any religion or caste. And, why do you care? Are you gonno say "true hindus don't eat beef"? Well, fine by me.
@@gokul_nath_g have u ever seen any muslim to eat pork??
@@pappaguha2067 in fact, yes. Some of my friends do eat pork and my other muslim friends don't go after them or abuse them for eating pork meat. It's individuals preference and they understand that. Anything else?
@@pappaguha2067 are you dumb ???
👍
BEEF BEEF BEEF...
Don't say that word! I'm north Indian, I am shivering in anger! 😊
@@johneli495 that's our food stuff, we'll say and eat...

LOL! David says Hotel for Restaurant.
Hate comments for beef is gonna come in 3,2,..... 🤣

Well you seem proud about that..
@Ashish Sawant beef is testy a radical hindutva Fanatic like you should try it
@Ashish Sawant I hope you don't catch mad cow disease while drinking Gaomutr and eating Gobar
@Ashish Sawant haha beef is cooked but urine a body fluid is not so more chances of transmission from Gaomutr and Gobar which you eat
Close your eyes and listen first 5 seconds. Something is really awkward 😂
Dude you're nasty...😂

Kerala's people eating beef😓😓
So what?? You should try some
Yes Beef available in Kerala..... 😊😊
Wait you didn't know south indian people eat beef???
@@indepthenglish1231 hey moron not all South Indians.
@@indepthenglish1231 kerala people only
Kerala walo sharam karo beef kahana band kardo
Sharam aap logon ko karni chahiye, aise intolerant hone keliye
You are not anyone to tell keralite what to eat and what not to eat
Who are you to dictate about others food habits... shame on you for such a narrow minded thinking.
Guys lets stop why should we waist our enery on such a stupid comment keralites eat beef without any religious limits almost everyone enjoy beef and it is not banned in kerala and also there are people who only eat vegetarian food , beef is available in every restaurant in kerala because that just a normal thing for us ,our food habits and our culture is entirely different from northindia so please dont compare and we are not ashamed of what we are so stop judging us and look at yourself
