Indian Chinese cuisine has a relatively long history as far as Chinesse fusion cuisine goes. Ever since the 18th century, Chinese merchants from Fuzhian would come to Calcutta and open restaurants, and that's where dishes like Chilli Chicken, Fried Rice, Chop Suey (different from the American kind), and Hakka noodles come from. One of my favorite misnomers is the Indian Chinese dish "Manchurian," which got its name from the Manchus who ruled Qing China, even though the people making the dish were ethnically Hokkien, not Manchu.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

that is very interesting!

[@RKNancy]

To us Himalyans, we are more familiar with indo Chinese cuisine than we are with cuisine from... say... the South of India. I personally prefer Tibeto Nepalese cuisine specifically because of my obvious Himalayan bias but the food from South West of China like Sichuan also looks great and because of the heat, I feel like it would suit my taste.

[@harkiratsingh2872]

Hi chef!!! A tip regarding the garnishing- here in Calcutta, the home of Indo Chinese cuisine, we soak the chillies in vinegar, for some time... Depending on personal preference. It gives the chillies a tangy sharpness, in addition to the usual hotness, and goes well with darker fried rice recipes, especially vegetarian and egg varieties. Also, coriander isn't much used here for garnish, instead onion springs are the preferred greens for it.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

😉

[@maxineb9598]

I love chillis preserved in vinegar with any sort of rice or noodles. I use the larger chilli that have the flavour but not so much of the heat. But here in Thailand fish sauce with chopped chilli seems the preferred method. Only if you like fish sauce like that.

[@harkiratsingh2872]

@@maxineb9598 fish sauce is somewhat exotic here. It's not locally available. We do have a mustard sauce called Kasundi- it's waaay more hotter and tangy than what passes for mustard in the Western countries- which is used as a condiment with some Indo Chinese dishes.

Halva is an indo persian dessert where historically starch is cooked with fat and sugar. It homogenised and soft. In the subcontinent, there are variants of it with starchy or winter veggies. Pretty apparent on why fried rice shouldn't be a halva. 🤣

[@reemavishwanath1046]

interesting we have a dessert in india called halwa and its made with loads of ghee and sugar. My fav variation is gajar halwa which is just halwa with carrots.

[@GopGV]

Halwa/Halva can not be a mid east origin. There is no way they have 2 of the three ingredients back in the days. Sugar in particular and Ghee/Butter and wheat/rice? Any ways the same way "Sir Isaac Newton" is famous for translating Sanskrit to European languages and became the "inventor" of so many Laws copied from Indian scientist and philosopher Rishi Kanada who had given Vaisheshika Sutra in 600 BCE

[@neeleneeleambarpar2151]

@@GopGV bruh chill. Why exactly wouldn't they have sugar and ghee? Sugar has had a long premodern history out of India. And ghee is literally another stage of cooked butter. News flash : even potato is not of Indian origin, neither is chilli.

[@GopGV]

@@neeleneeleambarpar2151 You need to read my comment one more time. Stating it is an MID-EAST origin is wrong. Indian subcontinent has all those ingredients in abundance for sure, but almost none are produced in the Arabian peninsula.

[@neeleneeleambarpar2151]

@@GopGV some crops being produced in abundance in one part of the world doesn't mean that a dish necessarily originated there. Like India produces a lot of wheat; that doesn't mean Pizza is not Italian. That doesn't also mean that Indians cannot enjoy Makhani pizza/Tandoori pizza etc. Similarly how potatoes are a new world crop but Aloo parantha is a South Asian dish. Halva is West Asian in origin, and Indians adapted it. Sugar technology developed in India and was introduced/traded world over. Wheat was domesticated first in the fertile crescent, idk what you mean by the ingredients are not produced there. People take one thing from somewhere, adapt it change it to their tastes etc etc. That is how cuisine works. There is historical evidence to it that halva was/is a west asia dish originally. This conversation is pointless lol

Street/takeaway food has always been my preference over restaurant style as the flavours always seem to fit better. This looks like another to add to the recipe list for that. Then again, I have an uneducated palate and like it that way - it's much easier on my wallet! :P

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

😂

[@dinakaraghebbar6695]

In Karnataka state, India or consider south indian states itself we make multiple rice variants (Chitranna, Puliogare - Tamrind rice, BisiBeleBath - lentil / mix veg, etc). We add a little bit of oil n pinch of salt while cooking rice to ensure the rice grains doesn;t stick instead stay separate. It's an age old trick taught to us by our elders. CHITRANNA (Lemon Rice) is a popular rice dish in Karnataka which is also called (slang) as Yellow rice due to its colour as turmeric is used. Main ingredient of CHITRANNA is only finely chopped onions, garlic (some doesn't use both) and green chillies. Of course, a spoonful of lemon juice added while mixing the rice. Sometimes, during Mango season, we replace lemon juice with grated raw mango whic gives a tangy flavour and it becomes Mango Rice Bath.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Thank you for the explanation!

[@dinakaraghebbar6695]

@@ChefJamesMakinson A small addition to my earlier comment. Without adding onion & turmeric, and using only grated coconut & ground nuts it becomes a plain coconut rice bath. 😀😀

He is a good person...but at the same time he is one of the strict judge' in the master chef... He is very careful about the recipes and flavour profiling...and textures of the food.....and the reason is that he had a very humble beginning.. he used to work with old school chefs...and after the he worked in Italian restaurant in newyork for 4-5 years..during his childhood and post college , and maybe because of that he knows the value of food...

[@tanaypatel8412]

Same he looks very kind and wonderful man.

[@ryanodriscoll]

I think a lot of westerners do not know that Indo-Chinese cuisine is a thing. That it's not just a local interpretation of foreign food, like a Chinese takeaway might be in the UK, but is actually unique to it's own regions and culture. I didn't hear much of the music you spoke of, but what I did hear sounded like Greensleeves. Supposedly (according to legend) written by Henry VIII. But most likely not.

[@TitaniumAnjolras]

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

😉

[@rejuvenatingsoul3498]

You can get different types of soy sauce but the major producers make the darker kind of soy. Soy sauce isn't used in traditional Indian cooking, so people are likely to buy the most popular kind.

[@rahul7506]

You can it in Indian stores. The Ching's one is good.

[@justinoung6680]

Love your channel. I learned to cook in several Chinese restaurants from my father growing up, then got my degree in culinary learning French/American style, and worked as a cook/chef for several years following that in different types of cuisine, so I'm always amazed at how cultural differences impact the way we cook our food. For instance, how Middle Eastern people steam Basmati rice vs East Asians boiling jasmine, how Italian risotto is made from Arborio and cooked over an open flame in a pan, the way Spaniards make paella in carefully burning rice at the bottom of a pot, etc. It's interesting to see how Chef Ranveer makes Indian Chinese fried rice. Some of his techniques are pretty interesting and he gave me a refresher on the components of rice grain. Also, I appreciate your nod to Auguste Escoffier. Great work, man!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Thank you so much!

[@TitleDS]

Yeah you mentioned about fish sauce, chef. I love using fish sauce for almost every usual (thai and some chinese) dish and also for light pasta such as Aglio e olio. It adds another dimension of flavor like liquid MSG.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

yes it does! :)

[@keithdavies6771]

I use fish sauce in a pot of beans, too.

[@vasudhasharma5532]

Fish sauce and oyester sauce is usually avoided in India to cater to the high vegetarian population. We do have vegan versions… but it’s just not the same.

[@marley9904]

Yup, fish sauce is definitely a favorite of mine when cooking 🍳.

[@ninnusridhar]

The soy sauce trick is actually a good way to getting some wok hei style flavour into the dish. Your home burner is never going to be hot enough to burn the oil particulates and give that wok hei. But you can add a similar smokiness by almost burning soy sauce. If you do wanna get that authentic restaurant wok hei(not a thing in most households mind you), take a kitchen torch and toss the rice while torching the top. This comes courtesy of J Kenji Lopez Alt. But the point remains, that don't get hung up on that wok hei. You don't need it at home. Think of it like home made mayo. You absolutely expect it in a good restaurant. But it's basically unnecessary at home.

[@Kinduncle123]

I liked his idea of making fried rice more juicy so gravy is not required. Many times on street side outlets, they give soupy manchurian gravy with rice. Some outlets offer schezwan sauce as side dish.

[@asdfasdfasdf11122212]

The reason for adding oil while boiling rice is that it coats itself on rice and prevent them from sticking with each other. So when you want the rice grains to be more spread out then you can use oil.

[@vamsee6925]

i see!

[@VRBHZY]

I don't think that would work like that.

[@smileplease6658]

@@VRBHZY it does

[@baraths2]

There is another reason. If you made a mistake and left in starch without washing the rice properly, a bit of oil breaks up the surface tension and slows/lowers the chance of starchy water boiling over.

those long green beans are delicious in fried rice. they have great texture but blend in well unlike green peas. Adding vinegar is interesting but I think it is because of the balance, I would imagine the green chili sauce being very spicy and you really need that acidity to tone it down.

12:57 bro the correct translation is He is saying soy sause will burnt along with veggies in his resturant's kitchen becuz of high flames But it doesn't in home cuz of low flame comparatively.

[@vitzveer]

Spashing the soy sauce in circle around the rice, directly to the side of the wok is also a technic to help creating the wokhay when use the stove at home. Since the fire is not as strong, you will need to let the soy sauce touch the wok directly and dry out and burn a little bit to add the aroma to the rice.

Love that little anecdote about throwing tomatoes lol. Also what a coincidence, but I think I've been to one of the fairs in the video, the one with Ukrainian flags. We have a couple places here where they do it, mostly it's about Cossacks, and the place is built like a Cossack settlement too (called Sich)

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

really? they are a lot of fun to go too! I haven't been to one since I was 8 I think. :)

Indo Chinese is a completely different cooking style altogether. A great amalgamation of two distinct cooking systems

[@Tameinsight]

Soaking rice prior is done so that when it cooks it will not be a mush. Rice will keep its individual grains. Like day old rice.

Not only him but his wife is also trained with a highly accomplished Chinese chef in Indo Chinese dishes

really?? I didn't know that!

[@someshyv]

The translation doesnt do justice to how charming Ranveer is

[@sandeepansinha]

i don't even know why but your videos are very entertaining, i guess its because we learn watching your videos.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

I'm glad to hear that!

[@martinmahrhofer1634]

The song you enjoyed so much is "Greensleeves" and urban legend tells it was composed by Henry VIII I really enjoyed the video and look foreward to your fried rice.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Thank you for the info!

[@graceonfilmsnstuff]

adding oil in water works for one's needs. it will keep rice grains separate, especially cuz the fried rice needs it so. other dishes, maybe not necessary. however, indian households do all rices, including briyani with pressure cookers which doesnt need it, unless it's britani stage 2. now for pasta i imagine it will be the same principle (oil being hydrophobic is exactly why it would cling rather to pasta or rice) but may work differently than rice fpr the kind of pasta dish. idk. i have to try that. usually just salt and water works for me. i try minimizing oil in my recipes where possible unless i have a reason to add :)

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

interesting about pressure cookers people have them here too but they are not used as much as the oven or the stove

[@catherinelw9365]

I’d think it does the same thing as oil added to water cooking pasta. Hinders absorption of other flavors.

[@ritikshaw5868]

@@ChefJamesMakinson in India.. The most use a pressure cooker gets on a day to day basis is to soften the lentils to make daal.

[@graceonfilmsnstuff]

@Ritik Shaw is it a regional thing? cuz all southern indian households and friends who hosted us all had pressure cookers (yea plural) for rice as a default. plus anything else like daal.

[@NoxiousRob]

It looks delicious and I wouldn't change anything, got to trust Chef Ranveer. I'd definitely not skip the cilantro, or as we call it in the UK coriander, as for me it really ups the flavour profile when added fresh at the end of cooking Indian and other Asian dishes and it's probably my second favourite herb after basil. However, I know some people who don't like the flavour at all. It makes me wonder if cilantro is the herb equivalent to marmite, you either love it or hate it. For any non-Brits who don't know what marmite is, it's a savoury yeast based food spread with a very strong and distinctive flavour, very umami in taste. The Aussie version is called vegemite, not sure what's it called in other countries if it exists there.

The back ground song I believe is a Christmas song. The title is What Child is This?

In Thailand, many people put dark, thick soy saucd in the so-called Thai "old-style" fried rice. It makes the fried rice sweeter and also brown color. Usually we add coarsely chopped kailan, and probably sliced onion and diced tomatoes instead of peas.

[@omkarmavlankar6611]

Brar is fun with his quips n good with his cooking

[@SparkShredder]

10:06 Typical Chef Ranveer...if you are an Indian, you will understand why he said it that way. Its because everyone LOVESSSS the dirty, instant, unhygienic street food in India no matter where you are from, as opposed to eating it from a restaurant. Also, another chief ingredient in fried rice is the spring onion. Its sort of incomplete without it.

[@skrillex4u]

Ranveer is very fun to watch and learn cooking I love his content

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

me too!

[@vision-uh5dj]

Ranveer never disappoint!!!!!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

[@air9music]

One teensy little pointer in the translation - when he warns about letting rice cool he says if you don't, you'll end up making Chinese rice "halva" - you can google what halva is but we also use the word colloquially in Hindi to refer to a mess, esp in a culinary context. The caption says you'll end up making "Chinese style fried rice" which isn't what he meant.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Thank you! I'm sorry, I missed it

[@air9music]

@@ChefJamesMakinson 😅 you'd need to speak Hindi to spot it, honestly. I'm just being nitpicky with the translation of Ranveer's original video.

[@professoraviva4628]

Thanks so much for explaining that!

[@aloogobinder5028]

I am an Indian, some of us squeeze lemon while boiling rice, especially for Basmati rice, so it retains its structure and does not break. Try it. We use this method especially if we want to make Biryani or in this case fried rice.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Great video chef! That fried rice, looks delicious! 🦇

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Thank you!

[@sonal965]

@ChefJamesMakinson you should try reviewing Chef Brar's recipes which he has done for India in 21 recipes where he speaks in English and also explains basic masalas nicely. For a foreigner that would clarify a lot of doubts which you have about Indian cooking and yes, you will also see recipes from different parts of India, like a mini pan India experience. Try it. I wonder if you even read the comments.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

I just remained one of chef Ranveers recipes!

[@KajitaniEizan]

At 3:32, perhaps the subtitles didn't quite get across his joke... he was saying you'd end up with "Chinese rice halva" Perhaps a random aside, but this is of course an Indo-Chinese-style fried rice recipe... there are also Indian-style ones like fodni bhaat ("tempered rice") that use, for example, turmeric and no soy. One optional ingredient I can recommend is whole dry raw peanuts, shells off but skins still on. Very tasty when fried along with everything else, they make up for not having any egg or meat, and they add some texture also, not too hard but with a bit of bite

[@akashsingh7342]

Nice reaction. Chef Ranveer is probably my favourite chef. Please do react to his Egg fried rice too. It is not the traditional one. But it sure is delicious. I have tried it personally 😉

[@Shlovanzleeat]

Ranveer is showing what the average Indian household can do. The average Indian household won't buy a wok because let's face it, it won't fit our sink. It's cheap but it's cumbersome and many women have cut/burnt their hands by accidentally hitting the edges. But the average Indian household will make fried rice/noodles, come what may and that's what Chef Ranveer is trying to reach.

[@RKNancy]

Veggies are a given in any Indo-chinese dish, especially cabbage cause the migrated chinese back in the day did realise that more than half the country do no eat meat. And what do you do when your customer doesn't eat meat? You innovate with the local produce.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

yes!

[@rutwikgosavi8757]

Hey James, great review video, keep up the good work and hope we could see more such gentle reviews unlike uncle roger whose reviews are a bit spontaneous.

[@sandeshsingh8324]

There are so many cultures in India. With every few kilometres language and food changes.. even a simple fried rice is cooked in so many different ways , That no 2 local cooks have the same taste .

[@Mark-nh2hs]

I too add fish sauce lol I also add it to tomato based sauces when cooking down and some chicken dishes esp those cooked in a sauce. I find the fish sauce just intensifies the flavour without it tasting fishy.

[@1305sarthak]

The key thing to note in this video is this is a street side fried rice. In India you'll find a lot of carts or even food vans that give you quick and cheap Indo-Chinese fried rice, the ingredients they use especially sauces are of an inferior quality so the end product looks a little rough. It still tastes amazing but that is why Chef Ranveer said dark thick soy sauce and dirty green chilli sauce because that is what you get when you buy a fried from those carts
