One of my favorite things to do is teach others about Indian food, which I truly believe is severely underrated in most parts of the world. Whether it’s friends, followers, celebrities, or fellow content creators, I love it! Come with me as I eat North Indian food with Raina Huang in Los Angeles, California!
If you’re not familiar with Raina, she is a KZbin, Instagram, and TikTok sensation! She’s extremely popular competitive eater with a massive social media following. She can put down a ton of food without breaking a sweat-I don’t know how she does it! She also loves spicy food!
👕 DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH: teespring.com/stores/davids-b...
We’d be dining at Mahan Indian Restaurant, which specializes in North Indian cuisine, which is heavy on breads and rich, creamy gravies. In the kitchen, we watched them prepare onion pakoras, which we sampled. They were so crispy and full of onion flavor!
At our table, we had seven dishes: saag paneer, chicken tikka masala, goat curry, veg biryani, garlic naan, onion pakoras, and dal tadka. We started on the chicken tikka masala, which didn’t feel too spicy. The creamy gravy was unreal!
The saag paneer was almost like a spinach dip with cubed cottage cheese called paneer. Then, we jumped on the onion pakoras with tamarind chutney. They’re so crispy and tasty. The tangy mint-cilantro chutney also paired nicely with it!
Then, we jumped on the dish we were both waiting for: the goat curry. The graby was so thick and less creamy, but still very decadent. I loved the gamy taste and the tomato-rich gravy. The garlic naan takes it to the next level.
Next was the dal tadka, which we mixed with our rice. The dal was light and creamy but also a little spicy. Then, we jumped on the veg biryani, which also contained peas, cilantro, bell peppers, and edamame. I taught Raina how to eat it with her hands!
Then, we added raita to the biryani, which added a creaminess and glued the rice together. But adding the gravy from the chicken tikka masala made it even better. The goat curry was my favorite, but the biryani with the chicken tikka masala gravy was incredible as well!
We finished with kheer. It was thick and sweet, and very milky and creamy! I loved how decadent it was. It serves as a great palate cleanser after a heavy meal!

Next time u need to try north East Indian food indo-Chinese cuisine best of both worlds

[@manojkumarbr551]

Lovely 🌹

[@victordutta798]

She's an angel. She didn't do shit for camera, and enjoyed her meal like a simple person. That's so refreshing and good to see. And my goodness, her appetite though. 👏 she won my heart when she kept on scooping up spoons after spoon of Biryani.. What a girl. ❤

[@lifeinkorea333]

I love Indian food - it's my favourite cuisine. I love the mixture of spices and the subtle flavours. Indian food has so much layering of flavor, and the dishes go together so harmoniously. Love from Korea 🇰🇷💕

[@CoolManish1715]

Finally saw someone eating actually in Indian style, mixing all the gravy & curry with rice & that's what it is the actual way of eating a perfect Indian thali or different varieties of food. David you should do it often we here in India usually mix everything & eat often with hands.

[@SubhadipTalukdar]

Bhai aaj biriyani mil gaya with Mutton Rogan Josh 😍 P.s - I really appreciate your words ❤ so true

[@varunprasad914]

I can clearly see she is SUCH A FOODIE. Love her ❤. And, i'm so sure everybody is loving how she eats with her hand with no hesitation at all 😍. And also love how she ate sooo much of everything 😂😂.

[@snowqueen2324]

Okay ! I am not gonna lie he really loves Indian food cause the way he is describing the food , how to eat , mix all things and it tastes more better , he is now pro indian eater 🤭🤭🤭👍 good job

[@satyamadhuvarshini4427]

This man knows the authentic Indian names. These are not sauces and the fritters. So happy to see this man explain them as curry and chutney. He beautifully explains how Indian cuisine is much more than just the Samosas and the Chicken Tikka Masala ❤️

[@vk-s]

O yeaaa !!

Your love for Indian food is just totally to another level. Thank you. Loads of love from India🥰

So many haters who is saying David should stop doing Indian food or do different foods, why? Obviously you guys are not real fan of David. He did a clip on how Indian food is his passion, he's opening a restaurant soon, he wants to be Indian food "king" - he is actually introducing Indian food to Raina - she isn't too familiar. I guess if you think if this is the same content from David you guys can just not click on his video simple as that. David keep up the great content, I'm not Indian but I do love Indian food and I love how you introduce it to others and excited about it all the time. Shows you have real passion for sharing the cuisine.

[@basmah28]

too many similar videos same dishes

You can look at her face and say she is not acting.. she really did enjoy it

[@annmarieb987]

Okay David you are amazing, however you need to do different foods, because you do the same thing, explain the same thing, so it's repeating the same thing with different people. PS: I love Indian food and will be trying Curry leaves this weekend because of your recommendation.♥️

Great video as usual. Just a question: has any Indian, out of the thousands who have et with you, taken the trouble to explain that carbs and veggie/meat are combined? Have they explained how rices soak up gravy, and rotis are very convenient with dry-ish stuff? Only curious; nothing major.
