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/...
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!

Wow. You really enjoyed that. I can see it all over your face. Love your simple and humble attitude.

[@iancooper2338]

Great to see you on David’s channel Raina.. Watching two of my favourite foodies at the same time! Plus Indian food is the bomb!! Thanks guys, 🙌 ❤️

Use butter on naan to make it soft and butter increase your taste😋😋

[@pjfooddiaries705]

Awesome food vlog... Indian food the best.... Thanks for sharing

[@debolinamisra7136]

even before watching ur video I undoubtedly like ur videos, I guess u r a some before life an Indian skinned this life with white one

[@2075vj]

I wish I could give you my zip code and you advise me where to try North Indian food near me. My birthday is this week so I will treat myself.

[@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

[@siddhanshtated8951]

Just wanna say David these ain't mugal painting they are Rajputi paintings. It's form the era when mugals didn't invaded India. They were the greatest rulers of all time 🙏🏻

[@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 !!

[@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

[@Ishkevinc]

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]

[@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.♥️

[@basmah28]

agree

[@NatashaGraves555]

She is a professional eater. Give her more food than that lol

[@varunprasad914]

What are you talking about? Hyderabad is southern & the last stronghold of the Nizam who was the last of the Mughal rulers. Stop acting overconfident & actually KNOW what you are talking about. Kerala= care uh lah also it’s pronounced vah-duh not vadaaaaaaa. C’mon dude. You are an influencer. If you want to represent our culture,BE BETTER ALREADY.

Why are you doing videos with Raina #hidethenapkins wang? She is a known cheater and terrible person. Joel Hanson even ended it with her. He put integrity before views.

[@sankalpsitu]

Whenever I see a notification from David, I just think that am I Indian or David is! He has tasted more Indian food than any native Indian.

[@north_eastgamer8549]

Its so nice to see u collaborating with Raina finally 👍🏼

You were good as always. But the girl killed it today.

[@prachiiipatil3111]

Would love more videos with Paulina !!! ❤️

[@praveenakajane]

Raina is eating better than David 👍 keep it up😅 tough competition

[@pinkmileylove]

Not to be mean but like 90% of Punjabi's don't even eat naan with one hand... like that's not really a thing. And you just look uncomfortable doing it sometimes.

[@reshmathad8552]

That's right! You can use multiple hands. There are no restrictions.

Fyi butter chicken is not the national dish of Britain. " Chicken tikka masala" is the national dish of England.. go do your research!

Heyy David just finished watching your video it was great and im hungry noww 😂 and I just wanted to tell you the thing your calling as bread its actually called Roti in INDIA and RAINA was awesome 👍💯

[@tenzing2090]

He knows breads are called rotis. Seen him use the word multiple times in his videos. It's crazy how much he knows about Indian food.

[@debraj-kayal]

Sacrilegious! Biryani that too veg that too not even cooked like a Biriyani. That's not even biriyani at all. That is fried rice.

[@vk-s]

Exactly

[@peterthermocline]

Bo can you try and talk a bit more about your guests, so WE THE VIEWER CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT THEM, spice it up a lilttle....

[@varmamehul172]

You have always good food... I am Waiting for new videos

[@tesla3176]

I think we need another RIGHT counter on this video Right?! 😆

[@direwolf7491]

There is no such thing as vegetable biriyani. You are very correct David.😊 She liked 'veg biriyani' so much wonder how would she react with mutton/goat biriyani.

[@mangomini1587]

So I came here after seeing the Mimi collab, this guy is adorable. But I'm noticing alot of repetitive stuff. The passion for Indian food is great, but he's too much. I'm out

[@sambado]

The Chef does all the dishes at the same time, with so much efficacy and speed that blows my mind. Almost like dJ-ing . Chapeau!

[@kiranpandith]

North and South main contrast aside from bread and rice is North loves garam masala and South loves coconut!

[@kyakaruvlogs2784]

She has been eating Indian food since before Covid happened and Boy does she have an appetite.

[@BYatharth]

That Indian food looked as generic AF! Not even a bit authentic. I doubt it tasted really good.

GUYS, please break the chicken first before you eat it with the naan instead of popping a whole piece of chicken with the naan. PLEASE 🙏🏽.

Pulao is prepared on the pan or wok and Biriyani in the Biriyani dum....You will not get Biriyani in the US...only pulao....both dishes are almost similar...The way of preparation differs

[@dishanttibrewal4254]

They arent celebrating mughal empire, they celebrating Hindu Indian culture.

[@sourayanbiswas4591]

Raina is awesome. But strange thing I noticed being an asian she does not know the right-left hand thing during eating. Even in Cambodia, Phillipines and Vietnam people follow this.

[@Jeevan.Canada]

you can use both hands to break the naan or bread. When you eating with your hand, the pointing finger should"t point toward you. and the palm should be clean too. That's the way i grown up in Sri Lanka.

[@BiPolarBear128]

Love seeing all that delicious food but man ..I wish David didnt say " right " every 2 seconds .. so annoying after the 500th time in one short video

[@innerpeace9655]

Indian food is not like that , you get it in resturent......original form you can get from traditional home

[@Davidq2]

Thank you for promoting Indian food you are very kind person 😇🙏🙏
