I feel like most people say they love Indian cuisine but when asked , we realize all they eat is Samosa, Naan and chicken tikka/butter chicken. Thanks for showing the plethora of options and how to enjoy them 🧡. Also, Rumali roti is supposed to be eaten soft - it's thin, melts in the mouth and very much like a handkerchief, microwaving will harden it. Maybe next time you can try heating it in the microwave cover with a wet paper towel, it would help keep the softness to an extent 👐

yeahhh I dont have a micowave which is a real issue hahaha I tried to be gentle but its so thin it just got so crispy!!! The problem was we were filming yeah so the food sat longer than just normal delivery

[@rahulr1305]

@@BerylShereshewsky Reshma mentioned that this bread is "very much like a handkerchief" and I wanted to confirm that everyone knows that "Romaal" means handkerchief in Hindi and so Romaali Roti literally translates to Handkerchief bread.

[@chandoolal]

@@BerylShereshewsky It is transliterated as 'rumaali' and not 'roomali', the 'oo' is a short one (in Hindi/ Urdu, 'rumaal' means handkerchief, and by extension, 'rumaali' means 'like a handkerchief''). And yes, while five star rated hotels and some very old and elite eateries in India/ Pakistan do have phenomenally large rumaali rotis, the usual norm is more like the one you had. A rumaali is made on an inverted, 'convex' griddle; the more convex it is, the larger is the surface area, and the larger the bread - and the way the rumaali is made is no less exciting. It is not rolled with a pin like a flatbread, but tossed in the air like a *really wide* pizza base - till (a) it reaches a size that is slightly less than the surface area of that inverted griddle and (b) does not tear in the middle. This is a quick GIF of the process: giphy.com/gifs/roti-chapathi-2tXNo2TXL9kru - check out the fellow at the back. An old trick that restaurants in India use to keep rumaali roti soft and 'handkerchief like' is to use two wrappings of aluminum foil. This should keep the roti soft enough for a couple of hours.

Don’t know if someone has comment on this or not, but always steam “ Rumali Roti” to heat it. It’s already too thin to microwave or heat on a tawa, all the moisture just goes out and it becomes like papad just like in your case.

Gajar halwa is amazing because you can have it hot or cold! However, the king inn my opinion, is Soan Papdi. This yummy pistachioey sugar floss type of dessert that’s super flaky is just love. 😍 Yum yum yum! I think I’ll have to get some rasmalai when I get home. As a side note, I definitely appreciate the fact that Indian food isn’t the same throughout India. It’s usually regional based. I’ve grown up with Punjabi/Dehli style cooking since my parents are from those states.

video should be North Indian food because there is no South Indian food in this video please to South Indian food next time...

[@anushree1177]

Yes, I second this comment. Beryl, the cuisines vary all over India and what you tried is North Indian food. There is so much more while segregating according to cultures, states and different parts of India. I have a North-Eastern friend and I will encourage her to submit the dishes from her home state to you, they are unlike what India is known for.

I've had a plethora of dishes from various regions, but I've yet to explore more African dishes and some traditional Jamaican cuisine. If you did that for the next episode, it'd give some of us a starting point for exploring those cuisines (plus, I don't really know Jamaican dishes other than jerk chicken, so I could use a palette expansion). Also, your channel is the most wholesome channels out there, thank you for everything that you do for and with us fans!

Sponsorship aside, this is a phenomenal idea for a video. Especially with you living in NYC, having access to everything the world has to offer.

[@kalliste01]

This is such a great idea! We had someone ask if they could buy us lunch earlier in the year, from a place we had never tried before. They chose things we never would have tried, and it was great!

[@nanettedavidson8949]

This is a brilliant idea! Choose all the ethnic restaurants for us!

[@trusfratedbunny2215]

2:11 In bihar we use rice flour instead of chickpea Or mix of rice flour with chickpea flour or other lentils flour as using rice flour is stable in Bihari cuisine especially for savory fritters, veg pancakes, chilka, kachri & such..It's gives lil chewy, way more crunchy texture to it while still being soft from inside.

[@hollish196]

Great video, and I really love this idea. How about Turkish. Romanian, or Greek for the next food.

Whole Indian food delivery economy depends on biryani. *For people outside India the reason is biryani being very difficult to make*

[@TigerAceSullivan]

i appreciate you showing off food that you didnt make yourself-- not to diss your cooking (which is leagues better than most people i know) but in my experience its hard to tell if a homemade meal is anything like the 'authentic' version if you havent had the authentic version in the first place. plus, there are a lot of things that are just near impossible to make in a regular household kitchen, requiring specialized restaurant... stuff, like really hot cooktops. plus, you live in a place where its pretty easy to find food of just about every culture, so its really easy for you to show off stuff like this. aka: i like this idea and hope you continue to try it! i saw someone recommending japanese cuisine, which i think would be a fun idea

You usually slice the bun by 3/4th and put the content inside and then fold it. Maybe that's why it was askew. It is supposed to be askew.

That menu looked overwhelming. I would eat everything dairy vegetarian with every bread choice on that menu and truly enjoy it. But for you, I’d recommend date night to share there. Here’s what I’m thinking: Imbi baigan, mulligatawny, vegetable samosa, papad, mango chutney, bone-in chicken biryani, shrimp kadai curry, adrak ke panje tandoor, onion kuchlea rotiyans, kamasutra signature cocktails (or mango lassis) and poland springs waters. I liked the video. You’re cool 🌷💕

I would love for you to try this episode but with Portuguese food! Feel like Portugal gets missed a bit in international cuisine but the food is so great, and Portuguese people (like my partner) are feeling passionate and proud of their food 😁

Goa, India has a lot of Portuguese influence in its cuisine as it was colonized by the Portuguese... Pasteis de Natal, serradura, bebinca, arroz refogado, arroz com galinha, arroz de camarao, feijoada, vinho de alho (vindaloo), sorpotel, risoiles and more...

The soft cheeseball part of rasmalai is called rasgulla or roshogolla, which is a dessert on it's own right. Probably the precursor dessert, bases on which a plethora of cheese or chenna based desserts are made, particularly in eastern india. Very different than your condensed milk or khowa based desserts, popular in North India.

If you want to try something different. I eat jeera rice or plain rice mixed with mango pickle. And it tastes amazing. You should definitely try it. Since pickle is always available in my Indian house (credits to my grandmother) and rice is simple to make, its an amazing comfort food.

@@sarahwarner8431 Hey Sarah, so there is a slight difference between these two, Saag Paneer is mostly made with different types of greens like spinach, mustard leaves, etc and Palak Paneer is just strictly made with spinach. Although, some restaurants would still use the name "Saag Paneer" even if it's made with only spinach.

[@sarahwarner8431]

[@Anmolnegi-yw7hg]

Saag traditionally means Vegetables but in punjab or up area it usually means stew , u cook any leaves , like mustard ,nettle spinach ,carrot leaves ,amaranth,nettle,dil etc for hours in deep pot so that they become creamy and kind of pureed but in rustic way sometimes radish is also added and for thickening , rice or gramflour are added and at last it is tempered with mustard oil with chillies ginger ,garlic ,onions ( optional ,) and also topped with butter or ghee ,u can also add meat and vegetables for making different dishes like saag meat or saag paneer , saag don't need much spices mostly turmeric ,ginger , garlic chilly , and is smoky while in palak paneer , palak ie spinach is blanched and fine blended and cooked with Tomato paste onions and many spices also cream is added more of rich and creamy dish hope u understand but in overseas these names are interchangeably ised

[@rogerwitte]

My favourite Indian curry sauce is 'Dansak' which is a kind of sweet and sour dal. i think I prefer lamb Dansak to Chicken Dansak, but tbh the lentils are the star of the dish. I like paratha as a bread, but it is very rich, so if you have a lot of creamy/buttery sauces, a plainer bread can be more appropriate.
