"It doesn't need to be 20 different spices, it doesn't need to be 30 different spices. It's about how you treat them." I know this is video is specifically about curry but that is a genuine lesson for when it comes to flavoring any dish. A wonderful tidbit of kitchen wisdom. May your soul find peace sir, and condolences to all you touched.

[@Daphoid]

100% True. I think this applies to any ingredient, not just spice. Take a simple soup that asks for onions. Raw vs Caramelized, different types of onions, can change the flavor of the soup.

[@sundarpichai940]

Does anyone know what spices were actually used in the mahkani in the video? From what I saw in the video (and from listening to the audio) it's tomatoes, ginger, garlic, turmeric, black peppercorn, cumin, chili powder, salt, then butter and cream. That's about 6-10 spices less than what a typical mahkani has. I'm really curious if anyone has tried this because if it works, the abbreviated ingredients list and steps would make this a weeknight-possible dish.

[@woodonfire7406]

Well it's amazing Japan had taken notes from India with that quote Not too much spices for them even tho they add jam which what makes Japanese curry unique, but still come out satisfying to eat with white rice (I eat Indian Currys with naan or other flatbreads, I eat Japanese curry with rice, it's how It is for me)

[@aidenaune7008]

so "curry" isnt an individual dish, or even a group of dishes, its a general term, like soup, or sandwich.

[@derschwartzadder]

I've always seen it more as a process or blend of spices. Usually implemented in a stew - like dish, but I'm not sure it's genetic enough to be like soup or cake or sandwich.

[@tim.n6283]

Just think of it as a stew with different mix of spices, different spices make different curry but the process is mostly the same

[@lordsergal8783]

Yep. Before british colonization, dishes were just callled by their names. The brits, not really caring enough to learn each name, just called everything curry.

[@rapipanmanoch6470]

In Thailand, curry’s direct translation is แกง (gang), which means the type of food that is a cross of the soup or the stew, where the fluid is thick from the spice paste. If the soup is thin or clear, it’s called ต้ม (tom = boiled) instead. And consider that Thai food shared a lot of characteristics with Indian food, I would say the meaning is probably similar.

[@ritojaSen]

Yes, exactly.

[@leticiax.6523]

he had such a calming presence. was probably delightful to have him around

[@jblyon2]

I just finished a hectic work week and hearing Floyd speak was incredibly calming, to the point that I physically felt more relaxed afterward. What a tragic loss. My thanks to his family for giving us a chance to see this.

[@HydroSnips]

What a heart-warming, respectful episode, and what a profound loss. Learnt more about making curry in this episode then I have from several years trying to make it. Thankyou

[@mellendegenerate]

This is a beautiful tribute and I'm really glad we get to see this episode. I'm half Indian but have never been there or experienced the food 'first hand' so this kind of thing really helps me to learn about my culinary heritage. Thank you for sharing this with us. RIP Floyd.

[@justinpedersen9174]

Sincerest condolences to Floyds loved ones. Such a wonderful sentiment that they want to continue his legacy through the things he loved.

[@sarahwatts7152]

I really liked how Floyd talked about making bread in the other video: it was clear how much he loved his family. RIP.

[@ethankickett318]

In my opinion, Indian food is the best in the world.

[@Mugen0445]

As a Penangite, I would say Indians have the best mastery of spice mixology.

[@Chargedolt]

yeah they're the spice champions

There’s a bunch of Indian restaurants in Queenstown, New Zealand and they are absolutely delicious to eat. Indian foods for me, taste the best in winters.

You're a great man. Thank you for bringing us this episode and creating an amazing memorial for your friend.

Traditional Italian chefs: "If you make one change to this recipe, you're a heretic!" Floyd Cardoz: "Every state and every family has their own unique curry."

[@karanshah5604]

True Indian food is extremely forgiving.

[@bibliophilecb]

This is why Indian food is superior. I love Italian food but the way Italians talk about it is exhausting.

[@vithursan.b]

Italians get offended easily over their food

[@pixiebomb28]

@@karanshah5604 yes! its very diverse and dependent on what is available regionally, i love that about their food

[@Lucas_S91]

Different regions of Italy also have their own unique dishes. Apparently they even have their own pasta shapes!

[@toby182]

I could meditate to his instructions, RIP Floyd

[@joshfrost3418]

I'm so glad you put this out. I love his bread naan and roti recipes, and I know that I will make these curries soon. It's so sad that he is gone, he seems like one of the most genuinely nice, and passionate people ever.

[@Project337]

This is going into my playlist of favorite culinary reference videos. Thank you for sharing this with everyone, I can't imagine how ponderous that decision was to make.

[@Chrischi3TutorialLPs]

India: *has thousands of different curry recipes* Germany: Currywurst, take it or leave it!

[@bpali2001]

I’ll take it.

[@xalat6277]

Imma take that, its so delicious

[@philippedesaulniers]

I'm Indian and I love the bastardization of Indian food abroad. Currywurst is not at all Indian but it's fantastic! Same with Japanese katsu curry- not at all Indian, but delish!

[@spwicks1980]

Dont forget Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh aswell. All different and all amazing. Britain's favourite food :D

[@olympic-gradelurker]

Love some currywurst!

This dude is such a beast, RIP to a chill homie

[@WholesomeOutrage]

A wonderful video, so much respect for this man, and his legacy. Thank you for honoring his memory so beautifully.

[@SamarYahia]

What a sweet tribute! Andrew's sincerity touched my heart. Floyd seems like he was such a kind and gentle soul. May he be at peace, and may his loved ones find solace in each other.
