Mumbai's Ancient East Indian Recipes | Kanji Curry, Rice Flour Pudding | Lost Recipes | Full Episode

Step into a culinary time capsule with Lost Recipes as we delve into the flavors of ancient Mumbai's East Indian community. These recipes, passed down through generations, blend the influences of Portuguese and British culinary traditions, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the city's rich history.
Among the treasures we uncover is Pudim La letria, a comforting rice flour pudding beloved for its velvety texture and timeless appeal. Then there's Kanji Curry, a delectable combination of shellfish and vegetables that transports us to the shores of old Bombay, where coastal flavors reigned supreme.
But perhaps the true star of our journey is Bhujlela Vaagti Ani Bhujlela Chimboda, featuring succulent roasted ribbon fish and crab. With each bite, we're transported back to the bustling kitchens of 19th-century Mumbai, where the aroma of spices filled the air and culinary creativity knew no bounds.
Join us as we rediscover these forgotten gems of Mumbai's culinary heritage, where every dish is a portal to the past and a celebration of the enduring spirit of East Indian cuisine.

[@elviradlima7484]

Hi Aditya, I bring you warm greetings from Australia. I have watched all your lost recipes episodes. I am proud to be an East Indian. My Mum comes from the same village of Gorai as aunty Moraes. I have spent all my childhood vacations there. Thank you for offering the world genuine recipes, now considered lost, though most of us have the East Indian cook books which we follow. Bless your commitment.

[@martinamisquitta7546]

Unty Moraes is not frm Gorai, she is frm VileParle

[@roshnimonteiro2229]

What unique and rustic recipes, thanks for sharing the east indian culture

[@rang....-._.-....0.]

She is so cute... I see 'cooking with grannies' show from Italy and something like that from Japan. At their age, they are still passionate and proud about their culinary heritage and with their bent backs slowly do what they still love... It makes a lovely heartening watch. Maybe it will be a good theme for a series in India too !

[@manisaxena1308]

[@jasmeeitrakesh8606]

The pudding has so much details n hard work

[@neilmisquitta4825]

@chefaadityabal3838 Thank you for delving into our East Indian Culture and Food. As the original Mumbai sons of the soil, our story often goes untold, and with many from our community (like myself) having moved away from Mumbai and its Gaothans, shows like yours are a sort of time capsule and showcase for all. Keep up the good work.

[@suminthraoojugir9041]

Thank you for sharing. We are third generation Indian in South Africa. History books also tell us about Dutch East India Company settling in South Africa. The knowledge, information and resources you are sharing is important and valuable to those who enjoy History without involving politics, simply humanity. Great job.

[@rang....-._.-....0.]

wonderful series 👏

[@patriciahowe2750]

Please, please add English subtitles to all your videos. Absolutely fascinating, I am an avid cook from Singapore and would LOVE to try to make some of these dishes!

[@sarahp1383]

Wonderful video tracing in detail, the history of the East Indians of Bombay, ( how they their community got to be known as East Indians)their culinary traditions so well explained by Mr. Swamy , the ancient clay pot which remains a precious cooking appliance in East Indian kitchens, as it doubles up as a rustic oven and is acknowledged as the predecessor to the modern ovens. The rice pudding , the bread made of rice and the fish and vegetable curry made in kanji water with a fiery green chilli masala ,are dishes which should remain the pride of East Indian cuisine. A big salute to Aditya for the sincere interest and considerable effort he has taken to track down housewives , who still make the flavourful East Indian dishes with such flair and pride like Mrs Henriques and her daughter Switsy. Also , this video gave us a glimpse of the fabulous heritage homes of the East Indian community Thank you.

[@AsiraL1792]

There is a catholic Vadval ethnic tribe from Vasai West near Mumbai with roots of Maharashtrian - Gujarati and lot of influence of Portuguese... Explore their cuisine someday

[@deepakghogle2993]

The very first recipe shown of Rice flour (Leteri) is also cooked in Kokan Region as Shewale or Ras shevaya which is severed with coconut milk and jaggery.

[@kirtikanojia9891]

She looks like my grandmother...after watching her it reminds me of her. Is she still there? I hope she lives long and healthy.

[@abbyiyer2011]

This is sevai of south india .

[@sandferns1039]

The East Indian aunties used to fill the masala into dark brown beer bottles to preserve the masalas.. nowadays they fill in different bottles and grind it in the masala chakkis as the traditional pounders are scarce

[@vidyakanthpechetti639]

Thanks bro.....how about an East Indian Restaurant in Mumbai....work on it...I believe you would suceed....Take your time but give it a thought. Kudos Amigos.

[@rosemariedsouza4652]

Kindly post bottle masala recipe.

[@nikolaimurzello5007]

This Recipe is wonderful and tasty, we have often made it at home. However this Recipe is still well scripted the Eastindian cookery book. Pudim de Letria

[@lovestar2727]

This is our traditional outfit.

[@user-zi8dl3mp2f]

Colaba ,versova ,bandra mahim Malad dahisar vasai virar nalasopara..you can find east Indians.

[@sunandasunanda99]

Fresh vermicelli from rice flour is very common in Karnataka. We call it Shavige. Almost all house have the Shavige hand machine which is much better than this. East Indies must have copied from south. With that vermicelli we prepare spicy and sweet recipe. This is one my favourites. May be you can video record when u visit Mysore area.

[@user-zi8dl3mp2f]

Bhujing is still prepared in every weddings in vasai virar ..

[@mohinitayade3147]

She is so cute

[@lovestar2727]

[@asuptinalobo3193]

I'm from konkan we have this I know how to do

[@lovestar2727]

Our community in this era. Our community is become less.she looks like my grandmother.

[@Sanjhim]

Agri and Koli communities are originally from Mumbai and theses Hindu communities which got converted to Catholicism became known as East Indian. They share the same ethnic origin and culture

[@AS-jo8qh]

Are they Konkani or Marathi speaker?

[@Sanjhim]

@@AS-jo8qh they are marathi speaking

[@jeevanshinde8490]

​@@AS-jo8qh they are Maharashtrian but during British era therefore forefathers were converted some by gun some willingly we didn't know what condition in that time we just imagine the point is they follow their culture still now some recipe came from Portuguese they have east indian touch also some people think they are goan but they are of Mumbai like we agri koli from my beloved grandmother some they are also buddy मराठीच आहेत भावा ते पण in our shipping boat you have a two symbol cross⛪ and 🚩 same boat that's unity are religion are different but United by fish 🐟 जय महाराष्ट्र भावा 🚩

[@sandferns1039]

East Indian because they worked for the East India Company Mainly from the island of Bombay.

[@lovestar2727]

It is not converted, Agri, koli, kulbi etc are east Indian and our forefathers are portugese.

[@NoName-re7rh]

Hi where the English auto translate?

[@user-sm1yt1yg2l]

Phir se dant padti jab garam matti ko hath lagaya.

[@okay9906]

*The dish's common English name, "kanji or Congee" is derived from the Tamil word "கஞ்சி" (kañci).* Congee (/ˈkɒndʒiː/, derived from Tamil கஞ்சி [kaɲdʑi]) is a form of savoury rice porridge made by boiling rice in a large amount of water until the rice softens.

[@rajhanssarjepatil5666]

Mr. Bal always say " Mumbai " and not Bombay.

[@stephenabhang4438]

East Indians speak good Hindi and Marathi. is this the Swami representation you could find. Please re baba do a good job

[@attractabundance2779]

[@Junaid-mw4hy]

The lady in the red saree is stunningly beautiful. Omg.!🤯😮 I suppose the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

[@behuman3801]

So they were traitors who wanted to be loyal to the Portuguese She sounds like old grandmas of Bombay and gujarat

[@sparijat]

I have put a dislike because in the initial conversation the interviewee says, “ye log Mumbai ke original inhabitants the..” as if only they were the original inhabitants….meaning those who did not convert aka…the rest were not original inhabitants 🥺 some people are kaing these Nazareth claims on Indian Land and plotting to take properties of Hindus away, claiming the first right as they did in Kashmir! So unfortunate how these religions can make humans into monsters! Cause hey they already made them into sinners….!

[@ss-ib8gm]

portuguese converted not before that trying to show upper and lower class

[@ananyavartak5549]

We call them kupari.....converted Christian during Portugal rule.

[@mohinitayade3147]

Yes true

[@antarabiswas7453]

I would love to watch Bengali food
