I like when he describes the food for the visually impaired because im actually blind and it paints a really clear picture for me

[@BlueVanMan]

Thanks for that. My blind uncle and aunt say exactly the same thing.

[@gurney2400]

He spills his dip and blames the bird at the Indian, "She's overfilled it". This Van Man is a legend and should be in the New Years honours list. For my visially impaired followers..............

I actually find myself enjoying your stories and explanations e.c.t in a way it's like a podcast. anyway interesting video mate

[@BlueVanMan]

Just being myself.

[@yourwellwisher9646]

The sweet orange spiral thing are called "jalebis". Jalebi is a spiral shaped traditional Indian sweet made with flour basically mixed with little chickpea flour and yogurt (even though adding yogurt is not absolutely essential). The batter is fermented and then deep fried and dipped in sugar syrup.

[@electrojones]

Each video is better than the last! Legend!

You should try this stuff then mate, they would love the sweets.

[@nigel8499]

The starter was 'onion bhaji' the brown dip was 'Tamarind' based.

[@mattmayes9552]

This man knows!

[@ItssKhaosss]

This is infact NOT an onion bhaji, its vegetable pakora, and the sauce is pakora sauce.

[@louisbeerreviews8964]

ItssKhaosss is a onion bhaji you are wrong

[@archiebrown6407]

I started following 4 days ago lol. And I swear u were on 2k subs. Fair play man. Not many people do this sort of thing where theres nothing hectic going on. Love ut

Must admit it's gone mad. 19th of Jan I had 920 odd subs and now it's daft. I had 1000 just last night.

Proud of u being on true Geordie again you’d be great on his podcast

[@anotherrandomer]

The first dish was an onion pakoda, the second one was an aloo bonda (I lived in the bangalore-chennai region for sometime so pardon if it's biased towards south India), the third one is a spicy papadom. The first two dishes are the fish and chips of the southern part of India, the bonda is soggy because it has cooled down, else it's crispy. Best to be eaten hot on a depressingly gray day. The sauce is made out of tamarind extract and mango extract and yes it is amazing . Am poor with the sweets names because I'd usually get an ensemble box. I would love for you to review American food in America though.

[@BlueVanMan]

Cheers for that. So it wasn't an onion bhaji like so many have been telling me. I'm going to review more Indian food like this.

[@louisbeerreviews8964]

fowlerfreak is a oinon bhaji you are wrong

[@swingingmonk]

@@BlueVanMan I thought it was an onion bhaji at first, but on looking I think it depends what region of India you're from: onion pakoda, onion pakora, eerulli bajji, kanda bhaji, onion bhaji: it's basically the same dish with slight variations. Only pretending I know though! :p

[@zuba786]

yeah mate pakistanis make tea diffrent and generally it doesnt have water just pure milk, although i make it the english way cuz its just quicker

[@ap3572]

Nice Video mate , i'm orginally from Derby and agree with you we have a place called normenton full of great food and people

[@joetudor655]

Check out Milan's on East Park Road if you liked this place mate. By far the best place in Leicester, and get the chilli paneer its brilliant. Found you from the True Geordie and knew you were from leicester straight away with that accent!

Shop name is pronounced like " foolnath ". Thats not chilli sauce, its sweet & sour tamarind & date sauce. Potato ball thing is spicy Potato mash in chick pea flour batter, deep fried. That alieny looking thing is deep fried onion bhaji. The long yellow crispy thing is called in local language " pata gathiya" made from spiced up gram / chickpea flour deep fried in oil.

[@davidssshhhssshhh]

Proud to say I've been here when you had about 200 subs.. it's mad how you have blown up. 👍

[@adamali1976]

The tea you had was an asian tea. You put milk, teabags and sugar in a pot and heat it up. You also add some cardamom pods. No water though. It does taste really different to normal tea, don't know why they didn't just make a proper cuppa!

The first one is called a pakora it's a fried onion in batter and sometimes other vegetables the second one is a aloo tikki aloo means potatoes the third one is poppadoms as you know then the sweet dishes are called Matthai which is normally give at celebrations and that orange sgwilly thing is called jalebi which is sugar and other stuff fried in oil and how come you didn't have any currys or rice like biryani I just thought you guys should know the names

[@propanawty9091]

This is Gujarati food you are eating, and the name of the shop is pronounced 'foolnath'. The first thing is an onion bhaji, I think the chutney/dip you had with it is tamarind along with a few other ingredients. The second item is a 'bateta vada, a round ball with a potato filling n spices in the mixture. Crisp kinda thing is called 'fafra' and yes they are long lol Sweets include : barfi (pink) available in different flavours and colours, Penda/pendo (yellow) also available in other colours n flav (due to being made with different ingredients) Brown round ball may be a ladwa/ladwo but I am not sure, could be something else but the names are not coming to me at this moment! The orange spiral kinda one is a jalebi. The powder throwing stuff is a festival called 'holi'. And to the twats that take the piss saying spending the next day on the bog, you guys eat shit curries from dodgy places that use colouring and fake masalas hence why u don't know any better. The proper stuff that is homemade won't give u problems. Big up Bvm

[@BlueVanMan]

Thanks for that. I have used these places before and bloody love them.

[@propanawty9091]

Bvm deffo check out Diwali in leicester, it is the biggest celebration outside of India. You'll love it, I think you'll enjoy a day on the golden mile trying lots of dif foods. I really enjoyed this review, please do more of your other fav dishes from different parts of the world 👍🏽

[@chucky2316]

Kay cee you know about Indian food, I wish we had authentic Indian food, we have fake Indian food places where I am and the food is shocking and places are filthy a couple have been done and fined recently, they are bangledeshi owned not Indian. Shame because proper Indian food looks nice

[@propanawty9091]

K_JS chucky a lot of the time what happens is a business will just reappear as 'under new management' when it is still the old owners. Try finding a few recipes and experiment for yourself and you'll get the hang of it bud, and get some cheeky cold beers in go with it 😉

[@ohmrfrq5258]

Hi BMV, love your videos! Absolutely hilarious and most of all straight up, keep em coming.... the way i make tea is boil the water then add the tea bags with 2 cardamoms then let it boil for abit then add blue milk and sugar and stir it, let it come to the boil then put it on a low heat for abit then its ready to serve.

[@BlueVanMan]

That's it, That's how they did it.
