The RAREST Indian Food You Never Heard Of

What is Ladakh food? I travelled to Zanskar valley in Northern India to find out and brought back a Ladakhi Chutegi (Skyu) recipe.

[@SohamBhattacharya3105]

I'm Indian and never got to see anything about food or life from Ladakh. Thank you for bringing me closer to my own people.

[@vivekmathur3514]

Agreed.

[@AshLordCurry]

Same

[@georginaanbarasi2522]

Same!

[@sohampendokhare5357]

Yess, Same here!

[@nemomukerji]

Same india is so big and populated yiu cant know everything btw I'm from delhi if anyone is wondering

[@AlexanderWarner-ir7gy]

Your cinematography is incredible. You make me want to travel to these amazing locations. Keep up the great work man!

[@TheRealEstateDad]

Dude, this is fantastic! Like I was watching Food Network, TLC, History Channel, etc. Nicely done man. Looks delicious as usual too!

[@Myfavquote]

Oh gosh, I had read about the salty tea in one of the Chapter Stories in my Literature class years ago. I had no idea, it was made like that. Sometimes, I feel little ashamed to not know this lot about my own country. But today I felt enlightened, thank you for sharing.

[@chirantanr]

Well done putting Skyu on the food map of youtube! This was a staple when I spent 4 months in Ladakh, brings me back to those golden days. Love the little sound effects of pouring the liquid or dropping the dough in the gravy. Nice touch!

[@everydayladakh158]

"WTF is Ladakhi Food" that's a clickbat title 😂 Love from Ladakh

[@ni3070]

Local food?

[@athreya__7255]

@MrBeast’s Fan I eat tandoori chicken as lunch

[@niveyoga3242]

Why you only have 5124?! Your shots are insane & high quality! You are really good at capturing the vibe of the different places in bright way (if this makes sense ^^)!

[@believer1465]

Thanks brother from ladakh... For showing our cuisine..

[@oivinf]

Great video, have been to Ladakh (Leh, Zanskar, Spiti) and while it was an amazing adventure I didn't have the best food all the time, unfortunately. But you have to live with that in order to be able to experience something amazing. Cool to see Ladakh being put on the map! BTW as a over-salter myself that """pinch""" of salt had me giggling 05:32

[@ejaaz7260]

Great stuff and if you're interested in more food that's not what is associated as being "typically" Indian then you might want to head over to the North Eastern states. Ladakh is near that starting of the Himalayan Mountains range and the NE states are at the very end of the range.

[@totoroben]

These people would benefit from canning preservation techniques so their gardens can feed them through the winter :)

[@garlicmuncher]

They do, how do you think they survived for thousands of years?

[@shrinkhh79]

Interesting. It's very similar to Thenthuk (a type of Thukpa or Tibetan noodle soup).

[@PatriciaJende]

Ich liebe, liebe, liebe deine Videos! Sie sind definitiv totaly underrated!!! Ich freue mich echt, dass ich durch das Naruto Ramen Video bei Malwanne auf deinen Kanal gestoßen bin! Man merkt wie viel Herzblut du in deine Videos und Schnitte legst. Danke!! Einfach nur Danke, für die ganze MÜHE und ZEIT die du offensichtlich investierst! Liebe Grüße!

[@PatriciaJende]

@@mynameisandong und das freut mich!!! Weiß genau wie es ist, wenn keine Rückmeldungen kommen... mal hast 800 Likes ... mal 20... das ist sooooo ein Downer.. aber ich meine es echt Ernst! Ich bin jetzt dein Fan😊☝️👏

[@salmonnoa5461]

i don't get it you deserve so many subs 🤦🏻‍♀️😍😍😍

[@chiudiamond7713]

Only Indians would be smiling at the word ‘Chutegi’

[@program4285]

Do not use" Chutegi " in remaing india.... You will again get rewarded very well 😄

[@fuko1620]

Ladakhi butter tea looks same as uyghur "etken chai" tea with salt, milk and milk cream.

[@priyankeebordoloi6676]

Indian's generally don't prefer Al Dante food.

[@shizurumorris7476]

This is so amazing! You made me start searching for the restaurants I never thought about around me in the city! Good job man!

[@DrBrunoRecipes]

Lovely 👌🏻

[@fedecomini87]

Wow this must be a wonderful location! :O

[@HeartLimits]

Amazing shots, amazing content!!! keep the vids comin bro!!! supporting yah all the way my fellow nosmallcreator!!!

[@DinoLinsao]

Man, your quality is top notch! And what an awesome opportunity to make such an amazing documentary! SUBSCRIBED!

[@sunishapamnani6162]

My God I can't believe you just said the word "masala" with the perfect accent. I almost forgot for a moment that you weren't Indian.

[@ushaganesh8085]

Tibet wholly belonged to India, before China cunningly occupied, so similarities between ladakhis and Tibetans is no surprise

[@plussum3255]

Since when did Tibet ever become a part of India? Tibet was an independent empire for a quite a some time, sure, and was under control of Mongolian Yuan and Manchu Qing dynasties at some point of its life, but I have never heard of India in Tibet. Perhaps when Sikhs had invaded the region and took ladakh in 1840~ ish but, I don't think India ever meddled with Tibet and vice versa otherwise.

[@plussum3255]

@Wolithung Kikon me thinks usha Ganesh big wrong.

[@plussum3255]

@S L Well if we go back 5000 years into the past, it doesn't really matter who owned what because borders and cultures would have changed drastically in 5000 years Could you send me a source to read about India and tibet? I don't really seem to find anything supporting your statement.

[@CarmelFan2024]

Beautiful people, geography, cuisine and endearing host! Bravo👏🏽

[@paulson2008]

Mein Andong I wish I could hang out and eat with you 😱 and I can't believe you came to India without doing a meet up

[@rubytoads]

This is an amazing video!!!

[@skstar1638]

Ladhak is nature gift to humans.

[@bowmanvmi]

I still come to this video just for "chef'y" and this delicious dish. Thank you, Andong! 🙏

[@XiaosChannel]

if you are going to thumb your dough nuggets you might as well make it 猫耳朵

[@clarithbezarius1524]

I come to rewatch this video frequently, it's very good. May I know what music was used in the intro?

[@LordOfReaping]

Your passion and you being a serious foodie really shows in each shot. Keep up the great quality. Please tell me the name of the music at the beginning. Beste Grüße aus Franken

[@Rocking.sa2805]

Randomly came across this and i never knew about this dish from my own country

[@gosztonnyino]

Oh, Zanskar! Did you visit Zangla? Cool video.

[@gosztonnyino]

Some people I know (not personally) helped restoring the Zangla palace and also built a solar school. Here's a link: csomasroom.org/en/

[@mahimalatkar3678]

U should try dal dhokli from gujrat region of india which is similar to this

[@SRianaComedy]

We call it 'Kawri' here in Sikkim.

[@indrinita]

Absolutely love the content you create! You're honestly one of my favourite KZbinrs, with amazing topics, presentation, production, talent and passion. Can't believe you haven't blown up yet! You deserve an audience at least ten times its current size.

[@ssettev9361]

Andong is like your best historian, chefy, fun friend.

[@Yang-chi-dug]

Juley

[@KaiFeng]

Awesome!!!

[@jeny619]

Come to Northeast India and try the different types of cuisine

[@namgyal4350]

Dont forget to add potatoes in your skyu and do it more like the traditional style ! 😉

[@tigeriussvarne177]

How I would love to see you colaborate with Bald and Bankrupt.

[@mynameisandong]

Me too :)

[@vida-zoe.itamarsantos270]

Love your creaticity!

[@Innovate22]

Just discovered your channel. High quality content all-around. May I recommend longer format videos for travel specific content.

[@kushagrakapoor372]

2:50 😂😂😂

[@ShanuNannan]

Thank for introducing this part of the world.

[@nombreapellido7223]

Chuptse sounds like korean japchae.

[@vidincrisis]

man Ladakhi food is something else! so glad you got to try it and I am so happy that people get to know more about how diverse India really is beyond elephants and mahrajas and t series lol. just wish you didn't use that typical 'Indian sounding music but actual Ladakhi music but otherwise well done!! Wish people would come to India and travel to places other than Delhi, Jaipur and Agra because this country is so much more than Taj Mahal, so much to see and so much to do and all the various kinds of foods you can eat! Ladakh is absolutely stunning

[@Ch0obyHD]

Yours looks nothing like the original...

[@waifuchanultimate7310]

Well in Maharashtra we call it 'Chakulya'

[@ALONExxSAVAGE]

WTF CHUTEGE OR chudge

[@glintknot5474]

,So India has its own version of pasta😉

[@ZakirAli-bw1fx]

every things are same as here in baltistan ..Pakistan love culture

[@abhinavbharadwaj13]

Baltistan and gilgit are extension of Ladakh, India. Thorey time ruk jao fr tum Indian ho jaoge.

[@yermah9809]

Where can i watch the documentary?

[@iahelcathartesaura3887]

What is rare about it? Nice video though. Just ditch the click bait title. That's very annoying. I would've gladly watched this anyway.

[@killers31337]

Tsampa sounds similar to Estonian kama. I've heard it was a staple food just a few decades ago, like something you'd give kids for breakfast. Not sure it is now. I kinda liked it, it has a nutty flavor due to roasting.

[@globalgovind]

You called is Ladakhi classic even when you tampered it to a very different shape altogether....

[@samaymehta]

My favourite new KZbinr. A pity I got to know about your channel only recently. Deserve a lot more subs. Brilliant content and the food looks amazing even though I’m a vegetarian skewing towards veganism.

[@sionadias7338]

You should go to Goa in India it is very beautiful and smallest state of India

[@CC-sl4to]

I visited back in 2019,and I never wanted to return Goa is awesome😄😄😄😄 I am from meghalaya

[@andrewrhodes9015]

You just got a new sub - really great content!

[@daringcow]

Its rare that this type of video actually tells me sthg i didnt know. Prolly because most just retell info served elswhere. You have 100% managed to teach me stgh new about food. I will be busy googling every bit of information about the culture and lives and food of these people. You had some fascinating hosts id live to sit with the grandma and just steal ahem discuss all her recipes and listen to her life story.

[@prateeknegi6307]

Thank you so much for bringing out this video. In the entire video, you were smiling and respectful to others.

[@Xaiando]

Very close to Xinjiang and very close to Kashmere. quite the squeeze in between complicated places

[@thegreedyone8551]

3:36 she's wearing a mask

[@none941]

That simple pasta shape would probably be called "orricette" (sp?) in Italy. They're delicious no matter what you call them. Cheers!

[@indrajeet_99]

You blended it😭😭😭

[@Toelpel161]

Aaah, the memories. I visited Ladakh three years ago and ate almost everything you mentioned. Totally love it there.

[@chickenboyy5122]

I’m surprised that you don’t have many subscribers??!?!?!!

[@andienantz]

Keep going back to wondering why she was wearing a mask? Flour dust?

[@ryebis]

Blend!!! Nooooooooooooooo

[@hollowed4306]

Well, isn't it just like the Khalmyk tea? From Russia with love, lol

[@MrVipulLal]

Great channel.

[@persianmafia111]

Cool and interesting video. Just a bit of whitewashed to blend everything. You loose all the textures

[@cosmoscooking7852]

Brilliant, thanks for going there and making this video ❤️

[@subhajitmitra5245]

It was awsm..Thank you Sir,nice presentation

[@laavanyasmagic4956]

[@heikesiegl2640]

[@moumitasathekobita2199]

[@a.kartalai8280]

Hey andong whats the song at 0:47 till 1:20 ? Thank you very much.

[@krishnasreenivasan8522]

Can you show us some of your documentaries, or tell us where to find them?

[@AzizAmri]

loving your channel so much!!! inspirational

[@thefunbot]

love your channel! keep up the good work...haven't tried the hand pulled noodles yet, but will soon!

[@sourdough1975]

tsampa is the original soylent (or Huel)

[@tylerdawsey6760]

Andong! Which blender are you using in this video??

[@kapachangos]

Sampa seems very similar to mexican atole.

[@cidmoosa2051]

2:53 Chu alos means vagina in hindi. That y the laugh.

[@StimParavane]

Great (travel) video. I feel culturally enriched.

[@0xxsapxx0]

Wtf did u just make lmao

[@devayani5012]

Who is here after tsering namgyal speech

[@olisenpaii2090]

Read the' last time i saw tibet' you would understand

[@TRACINGTHOUGHT]

UGHHH!! So glad I found your channel!! :) :)

[@uditaahmed3866]

Falls du gerne Mal was neues essen willst , probiere Bengalischen essen aus. In Frankfurt gibt es den einzigste bengali streetfood Style laden , falls du Mal hier bist. Schau Mal vorbei und vielleicht sieht man ja ein neues viedeo von dir in Bangladesch ;)

[@paulaking7007]

Wonderful looking soup You created!

[@user-ix7iu4wf8o]

Clicked for the tea on thumbnail .... got a bunchs of ranting. Boo ~

[@patavinity1262]

You could have made something actually good and authentic, instead you made a lame, westernized, boring pile of crap in a bowl. Why would you just decide to add paprika for example? That doesn't exist there.

[@joemontana8290]

The rarest Indian food is...Tibetan. Loool

[@sajadkhan-cf3nh]

Nice one sir lots of love from zanskar

[@phuntsokwangmo888]

wtf mad lap pata yoad da

[@rubytoads]

I'd love to have the same experience u had in a Himalayan household did u do it? 😁
