Raita is north Indian. In south we have different names for it and make it differently in different areas and among different communities.

There is no proper raita and I disagree raita came from rai.... Raita is just flavoured curd and there are thousand ways to make it... Boondi, tamatar pyaz, bathua, pineapple, jeera dahi... Rai wala jo Yeh banaya of course.. Mint ka raita, dhaniya ka raita, mirch ka raita, tadke wala bina tadke wala, kheere ka raita, mooli ka raita, papeete ka raita, .... And probably 500 more...

[@70newlife]

@@ThePrashantpandey82 it's called raita only in North, south me equivalent of dahi ki chutney or kachumber.. mainly used by meat eaters. Vegetarians use plain curd and rice to finish a meal or curd with sugar to get a bit of Sweet taste. Else use butter milk. With meat dishes we use dahi chutney with onion ,chilli green mint, coriander , sometimes chopped tomatoes. In some cases all these are lightly coated with yoghurt and it's called kachumber in some areas. Boondi or red chilli powder etc is a pure north Indian thing.

Loved the chef's knowledge about indian cuisines. All checked: Curry powder not a thing (checked) turmeric seasoning (checked) rice measurements (checked) squeezed cucumbers (checked) For those trying it, some tips to make it better: 1. Rather than adding cinnamon after onion-ginger-garlic, put a red chilli, some cumin, 2-3 cardamom, cinnamon, 2-3 cloves in oil and light fry them before adding onions and fry them a bit before adding ginger-garlic paste (it will ensure curry is not bitter in taste). 2. try adding tomato puree before potato and chicken and sauté them until u see oil starting to appear on top of the puree. 3. Sauté till oil is lessened. 4. Semi-fry potatoes before putting it in this. 5. Then, add chicken then the rest of the process is correct.

[@SabyasachiPradhan]

This in probably the only video in KZbin where a western chef actually is on point about some very basic knowledge of Indian cuisine, cooking method/styles. India as a country has so much diversity that the person standing next to you will cook differently than you with the same ingredient. He seems to cook so effortlessly and without the fancy fanfare, uses simple ingredients we daily use, points out crucial technique as a mother does to her daughter before marriage and comes up with a very beautiful menu as if he does it everyday for living. All in all it shows that Indian food is was and never will be only Curry powder and done. Well done Chef, hats off. RESPECT. Aptly titled video also.

We ground our spices with a mortar and pestle, fried them in ghee, sauteed the onions and garlic with the spices and then added the protein and several tiny very hot whole chilis. I see nothing to criticize Ray, well done!

Finally someone spoke the truth about Kari! It’s not Curry! Kari - Tamil word - Can be any stir fry or gravy using vegetables or meat. Even the curry leave’s etymology is from Kariveppilai leaves which is the true name in Tamil. 👏🏼👏🏼 Thamizhin perumai ulaga medaiyil ❤️

[@realtalk6195]

The British had a strong presence in Bengal. In the Bengali language, _Torkari_ means any dish with gravy; it can also mean a stir-fry dish but that's less common. _Korai_ or _Karai_ in Bengali means the wok or pan that food is cooked in. Anyways, the British usage of "curry" was also influenced by the Middle English word _cury_ (pronounced "coory") which came from the French _cuyre_ which means 'to cook'.

I'm amazed the chef has heard of Tamil... a vast, vast majority of the speakers are in Tamil Nadu. I have a number of South Asian friends here in the US that have never heard of it. On that note, a majority of Indian immigrants to the US are North Indian, thus foods like naan and butter chicken are what's popular here, not idlis or dosas.

First things first:- There's an order of things to be done while doing Indian Cuisine. 1)Put in the oil in the pan. 2)Wet roast all the whole spices. 3)Add Ginger-Garlic Paste. 4)Then Add Onions 5)Add Desired Spices. 6)Chicken/Veggies Its the Basic Follow up you should be following during cooking Indian Food for Maximum Taste and Aroma.
