Indian Street Food Crawl + CRAZY HOT Bangladeshi Chilis with Sohla & Priya | Heat Eaters

[@FirstWeFeast]

*"I was really scared because this is the channel that does Hot Ones!"* - Sohla

[@patricklinkous]

Those words were echoing in her head when the million scoville chiles came out 😂

[@mon6745]

😂

[@Nungutn]

Leaving your own top comment is cringe. The Indian queens are here let them live Mang.

[@pandorius]

That's SO Sohla!

[@manimanibooboo]

I think you need to make shirts with that---at at least one for Sohla

[@artbertomedia]

Sohla and Priya in the same video is nostalgic for me. An instant view/thumbs up.

[@axeavier]

they also worked together in a couples competition for NYT cooking channel

[@Justin-jy6vm]

Back when BA had EVERYONE. Brad, Molly, Claire, Chris, Carla, Andy, Sohla, Priya... I could go on. The collapse of that channel was monumental.

[@Metalfacejoel]

​@@Justin-jy6vmand it's all Sohlas fault. She's not personable and doesn't make interesting food I don't understand how she still has fans after sabotaging BA

[@mateostenberg]

​@@MetalfacejoelLMAO just read your comment about blocking Babish because you think he's not a good enough chef. You just talk so aggressively, seemingly constantly. Pretty sad that you're also well over 16, given your channel was made 16 years ago.

[@keegs5632]

@@Justin-jy6vm What a wild time that was.

[@rsa365]

Sohla casually dropping an insane amount of knowledge about hot food. We need her on hot ones.

[@nuzhuttabassum6219]

Really shocked and happy at the same time to see a genuine Bangladeshi restaurant in the States. Really difficult to see Bangladeshi food outside Bangladesh and oftentimes, this amazing cuisine gets mixed up with Indian food. So, it was refreshing to see this. Thank you Heat Eaters for showing this to the world. Lots of love from Bangladesh.

[@teemstar7799]

In New York and New Jersey there are many authentic Bangladeshi restaurants. In New York City we have a neighborhood called Jackson Heights in Queens that has Bangali street food and restaurants for every store!

[@devoidcolors]

​@@teemstar7799 Yes, there's some but there is sort of a lack of truly authentic Bangladeshi places (when compared to how many Bangladeshis in NY per captia) because most are run as typical North Indian cuisine (tikka masla, etc.) so this was a good showcase of some truly authentic dishes

[@prodigalfraudaddy]

The naga chillies look out of place when its not a northeast indian restaurant

[@nuzhuttabassum6219]

@@prodigalfraudaddy Because these naga chillies are from Bangladesh. They will only be found during winter season in Bangladesh. You can find them all the time but winter ones are spicy and delicious. The restaurant is pure Bangladeshi so every item has Bangladeshi touch.

[@tiffanys358]

There are a couple here in LA. If you go to Little Bangladeshi there are some local restaurants that all Bangladeshis go to so the food is more authentic. In my opinion, the Bangladeshi grocery stores that have a joint kitchen usually have the best food.

[@christelaye]

Ohmy. I missed seeing Sohla and Priya on screen! Was a big fan of BA during its haydays. Glad to see them on screen again!

[@Deltaenthalpy]

They are both doing great content for NYT Cooking on their channel

[@lishun]

Oh you’ve got to watch their NYT Christmas specials! It’s together with their significant others: Ham and Seth. They’re also amazing!

[@blissfuldw]

Sohla has a regular show on the History Channel's KZbin channel called Ancient Recipes With Sohla. It's great!

[@cassiopeia1931]

This is such a good series. All of these looks at different spicy cuisines is great, and having it all anchored by Esther being likable and seeing her friendships makes it compelling. Good stuff.

[@FromNowheresville]

Love to see the Bangladeshi representation! We don't see much authentic Bangladeshi cuisine showcased on mainstream channels, so this made me really really happy.

[@CECEaf]

Same, the last resturant's foods are what we eat in our houses!

[@imraduin]

The chef at the second spot is legit, and she's very wholesome too. The food looks bomb.

Thank you for showcasing Bangladeshi spicy foods on the show. Its really good to see Bangladeshi foods are going global and our bengali brothers and sisters in the US are making this effort!! Thanks from Bangladesh!!

[@prodigalfraudaddy]

Thanks to naga chillies fromnagaland

[@arunramachandran5012]

One thing: Naga chilies are not "like" ghost peppers, they're literally ghost peppers. Ghost peppers originate in the Northeast part of the Indian subcontinent. Locally, they're called Naga Jolokia (named after the Naga people of Nagaland), and Bhut Jolokia (named after Bhutan). However "bhut" also means "ghost" in Hindi, and that's how "ghost pepper" got its name.

[@sasentaiko]

I had no idea Bhutan and Nagaland were where the names came from. Thanks.

[@NayanJB]

What r u talking abt dude? Ghost pepper literally comes from Assam where it's most widely cultivated, everyone who has knowledge abt that beautiful part of d world knows this basic fact. Bhut Jolokia (original name 4 Ghost Pepper in Assamese, not Hindi!) is one of d things Assam is globally renowned for (along with Tea & One Horned Rhino) & d first thing people talk abt while delicious Assamese cuisine! Assam & Nagaland r d neighboring states in d stunning/diverse NE India where d same Chili is known by different local names.

[@NayanJB]

​@@sasentaiko It actually comes from d state of Assam (Bhut means Ghost in Assamese) d big NE Indian state in between d small state of Nagaland (where it's known as King Chili) & d tiny Himalayan country of Bhutan 2 d north. In fact, Assam is renown 4 Bhut Jolokia (along with Tea, Wildlife specially One Horned Rhino & diverse culture) & d Ghost Pepper is widely cultivated there & wider NE India 💚 d beautiful/diverse tropical region that borders Bhutan, Tibet & Myanmar. Another fun fact: Lemon also comes from Assam. There're many other tropical fruits/vegetables that're native 2 d stunning region of NE India that receives d highest rainfall in d world.

[@arunramachandran5012]

@@NayanJB Please try reading something fully before getting triggered. I said ghost peppers originate from Northeast India. And you're saying "no way, it comes from Assam". Last i checked, Assam IS in Northeast India. Everything else I wrote was about the origins of the name. And are you saying that bhut/bhoot does not mean ghost in Hindi? Please read more carefully next time before attacking someone.

@@arunsar7893 Muslim Bangladeshi food uses a lot of onion and garlic in veg and fish dishes, Hindu Bengali/Bangladeshi cuisine does not. Its more subtle flavours, mild and lighter. Though wedding type dishes can be more rich, but not everyday ones.

[@asiandvarma1603]

​@@nandanbhardwaj8464aren't they are the same people ? Just divided into two parts

[@tiacho2893]

A lot of Koreans opened sushi places and the local Korean BBQ has a Chinese owner. Most pizza franchises around me are owned by immigrants from south Asian and the middle east. There are a lot of overlap and similarities between the cuisines and it is a stepping stone for new immigrants. And besides, like most North American Chinese restaurants, the diners are largely North Americans that have built in expectations of the "ethnic" cuisine and are unfamiliar with what Bangladeshi food means.

[@joelbrown3479]

Do there's room to grow the taste pallet for ALL

I see more and more Latinos barring up rolls and throwing down on the wok at Asian restaurants too here in CA it's dope af.

[@tiacho2893]

@@damienlee1165 Every one of Roy Choi's workers at Kogi is probably Latina and there are a lot of similarities between Mexican and Korean food (flavours, ingredients, and cooking techniques).

YUM! Bengali/ Bangladeshi food is THE BEST! The food has soooo much flavor, but it's also very delicate. &... lord, it's been way too long since I've had illsh! It has the natural richness of sardines, but without the strong fishy smell. The only things that meal was missing are goat meat, fish head dhal, tea & Bengali sweets!

[@gargeedas3918]

This video made me so so happy!!!!!!!!! I've always watched butter chicken, naan, chicken tikka being served as Indian food or mostly just food from north India. So being an Indian and a Bengali from Kolkata, it fills me with so much joy that they tried Bangladeshi/Bengali food. Bengali food doesn't get enough recognition , so thank you so much for trying it out 🥰

[@benjaminbouyant2675]

As a Bengali, seeing homestyle food, is wholesome

[@me0wKat]

I canNOT believe Esther didn't try the naga morich; I was salivating just looking at them. Naga moriches are beautifully fragrant yet deadly on the tum-tum. When you're at a place were you can burn holes into your belly, defs give this spot a second try. Also, reeeaally wanted to see your reaction to eating the dim bhuna and the goru mangsher bhuna. Those two are like gangsta BD dishes. Obvs shorshe ilish is KING; but those two are everyday, or in the least, weekly staples. One's basically comfort in a bowl with some piping hot rice and the other is mad lush with it's thicc and sticky gravy. To think you don't need to add cream/nut paste to every single dish to have it turn into edible goodness is proof that Bangladeshi food is where it's at. Like it's healthy but delicious, fancy yet simple. Love it! Love the representation and would 100% love to see some more of it. Thank you and take care ❤

[@DeliaLee8]

oh, wow!! Great episode! I need a whole lot more of this amazing trio! I'd love a series with them. Maybe a series with them visiting women owned restaurants, etc? But any series with this 3 would be fabulous! 🤩

Me too. Kinda happy about the representation. But it couldve been better. If you actually have the dosas there , its not as great. Checkout Brooklyn Curry House or the Queens Hindu temple canteen for legit south indian food. Or Semma if you can afford it...

[@SeaWasp]

I'm in Canada, machaa, and not in Vancouver, anymore. Dad's side is Tamil from Malaysia. the South Indian cuisine is sorely lacking where I now am :( ​ @@arun_kumar0 when you get to the diaspora, the majority of Indian food is Butter Chicken, which I reckon you know is only 50 years old and Sikh/Punjab, which is no problem or the Tikka Masala. It's important for the people learning from the diaspora to know what foods come from different parts of India. I didn't see any karimeen in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, or in Goa. You know an interstate marriage is an interracial marriage. Why should food be different? India should nearly be treated like a continent and not a country when it comes to the diversity of its cultures, I think.

[@arun_kumar0]

@@SeaWasp i equally hate westerners eating only butter chicken or naan and all those few food which we never eat... i love eating and promoting dosa idli equally to naan and chicken tikka etc... my point was, being an Indian, if you are proud then just use Indian, rather using south Indian... we north or east or south never use those terms... we just use Indian... and no, we are not continent, we are states which forms India... that's how India gets represented and how it should be... i love south... and I stayed there for around 8 years... i just have one complain, they way we (north, east, west Indian) are treated over there... its like we came from Mars or something... south India is not a nation, its a part of nation... culture is a different thing... we can have cultural uniqueness, but we cant have racism amongst each other... i saw a video where a student came back from ukraine was asked, how many Indians came back, he said I don't know... but when he was asked how many south Indians came back, he had an answer... so was he trying to say, those south Indian arent Indians?

[@thomp9054]

[@dr.irfananwararnab1925]

Thanks for showcasing authentic Bangladeshi food, as a Bangladeshi living in the UK I keep craving for these deshi dishes.

[@Ozukovsky]

Naga chilli is basically the Ghost pepper. The ghost pepper name came from the assamese word bhut jolokia (bhut means ghost, jolokia means chilly or pepper). Its Indian and not Bangaldeshi. Assam shares its border with Bangladesh that's how it might have become popular in Bangladesh. Its indigenous to the North-eastern region of India along with some other vegetables that aren't found in rest of India. Our cuisine is also very different from rest of India. We use bamboo shoot in our food and there is lot of non-vegetarian options. Pork is one of the most popular meat here. Also we have Kaji nemu (long elongated lime very different)which looks like the Bengali gondhoraj but is a completely different variety. It's found only in Assam.

Watching shows like this makes me wish I lived closer to places with a larger variety of foods. Sometimes it’s hard to find places that don’t serve the standard American, Chinese takeout, or meximerican food that’s so common. And the few that are different aren’t always guaranteed to be good or authentic. I would love to try more authentic foods from different regions/cultures.
