Discovering the Best Indian Food in San Francisco 🇮🇳 | Hidden Gems in America

[@chefKeithSarasin]

Please note: Coimbatore is in Tamil Nadu. I miss spoke in one part of this video because I learned of many dishes from a Kerela perspective/teacher. I wanted to make sure to correct this here.

[@Wiseenoughtobefoolish]

Keith if you visit India again visit the south and you will discover whole diff Indis and each of the 5 states have their own cousins and each region within them too… you will be pleasantly surprised about the diversity

[@Saravanan1720-i2q]

Mistake do happen don't mind it sir .I'm happy you're enjoying our delicacy❤❤❤

Congrats. The youtube algorithm is pushing 'foreigners react to indian' stuff. I usually never watch videos like this, but this was nice. It seems you know indian food well.

[@chefKeithSarasin]

I’m glad you liked it. Thanks for your kindness my friend

South indian recipe is a whole new dimension in the multiverse of Indian cuisine!! Hope you come to Chennai and Kerala someday

[@chefKeithSarasin]

We will!

[@abhineet1984]

Each part of India has a lot of depth in its cuisine!!

[@dhirajshetty6385]

I love your reaction to Indian food, being from Karnataka, Idli , Medu wada, Rava Dosa , appam's, Sambar, chutney are all part of our breakfast mostly, Though most of southern India eats the same , their taste and texture are not quite the same across all states in the south, Thanks' for sharing !🙏

[@saisankar.m2580]

Yes you are correct now we are missing udipi samber in most of the places of chennai

[@vijayswamy1250]

Kovai is a good place to try one part of Tamil Nadu cuisine. If you are still in the San Francisco Bay Area, try mylapore express especially their benne masala dosa. It’s really tasty.

[@chefKeithSarasin]

Thanks for the tips!

[@karthick_michigooner7431]

Roadside kalaan is a modern street food variation that originated in Coimbatore (kovai) around the mid 90s when I was growing up... the paani puri and bhel puri vendors suddenly started this culture and recipe... That's why you have the onion, cilantro, curry leaf garnish along with the crushed pani-puri puris!.... They then added dishes like odacha poori (chat with crushed puris), masala puri that has the puris with the pea gravy etc.... Coimbatore is an entrepreneurial town and the pani puri vendors are no different!

[@chefKeithSarasin]

Thank you for sharing this. I learned so much

[@rainbow9343]

Coimbatore (Kovai) is in Tamil Nadu not in Kerala. Your knowledge and passion for Indian food is very genuine. Your understanding of any kind of food is commendable. Have fun.

[@mahalakshmisubramanian6796]

Pongal is good for the stomach. So nice to see you enjoying the dishes. I am from chennai, every state has its special dishes. Try all

[@manojbajaj8356]

You must come to Bengaluru and try the masala dosa at Vidyarthi Bhavan and Bengaluru Cafe. Their crispy on the outside soft on the inside dosa is light years ahead of other dosas

[@narendrareddy833]

Vidyarthi Bhavan overrated. MTR is much better.

14:37 ok now you've stirred up my kaalan cravings gonna have one for this rainy weather. It's perfect (ps: they're sold at roadside that's why roadside ' but mostly it's made with either a mix of mushroom and cabbage or only cabbage even though it's kaalan aka mushroom.

Keith, whenever you are in DFW - the Dallas Fort-Worth area, please check out "Simply South" restaurant in Irving TX. Arguably the best South Indian food that I have tasted in North America. I will try out your places in SFO from this video.

chef that Garee( doughnut) is best eaten with traditional mutton or chicken curry, try sometime.

[@vyasakaveendra7510]

Coimbatore is in Tamil Nadu where Tamil and Telugu are spoken. Some Malayalam too.

[@kiney0713]

North indians DO add yogurt/dahi in their green chutneys. It is MUCH MORE common in the north than in the south.. The colour/color of the mint chutney maybe because of yogurt. Or maybe it is just a mix of mint (pudina), coriander (cilantro) and a bit of coconut for the colour/color.

[@jagdambap4281]

You gotta go to Fremont, Santa Clara, San Jose for way better food

[@rrrao52]

Kovai is the vernacular name for Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu which is not in Kerala as you mentioned a neighbouring state one among the 5 southern states of India

Thank you my friend

[@hotice31]

I wish I could get you to try the food I make at home. My parents are from absolutely opposite ends of the country and that has resulted in a unique combination of North and South cuisine in my home. Next time you are in India, can I have the opportunity to get you to taste something absolutely evolved on its own.

[@chefKeithSarasin]

I would love that!

[@hotice31]

@ hey Chef, I will hold you to your word. And will on the look out for your next India trip. Despite the abundance of food devotees on social media, I am intrigued and excited by your genuine curiosity for Indian food. I have been experimenting with our food for years too as a private obsession. But I am curious as hell about your reaction to the absolute real Indian food that I feel you haven’t yet sampled along with the mish mash my mixed upbringing has led to. Plus there are so many cultures and sub cultures of cuisine in India which most westerners haven’t even touched. It’s gonna be a blast. Look forward to seeing you.
