During my time in LA, I met up with actor and rapper Omar Gooding to teach him all about Indian food! Come with me as Omar Gooding tries Indian food for the first time in Los Angeles, California!

If you’re around my age, you probably grew up watching Omar Gooding, from his hosting gig on Nickelodeon’s “Wild & Crazy Kids,” to his role as Mo on “Smart Guy” and his breakout role as Sweetpea in the movie “Baby Boy.” It was an honor hanging out with him-he’s super down to earth and hilarious!
👕 DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH: teespring.com/stores/davids-b...
This would be Omar’s very first time eating Indian food, so I was pumped to show him the ropes. He’s not big into spice, so I’d go a little easy on him in terms of heat! Inside, we met Angat, whose wife is expecting!
We’d be eating a thali, which is a huge platter containing smaller bowls of different Indian dishes. It would include gobi manchurian, a samosa, chana masala, aloo “Kobe (for Kobe Bryant),” butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, dal, saag paneer, and more! We’d also have garlic naan, biryani, chapati, and raita. It smelled so good!
We started with the chicken tikka masala, which was so creamy and made with tender breast meat. Next was the butter chicken, followed by the dal makhani, which is made with black lentils. It’s earthy, tasty, and really healthy. The dal tadka is a mushier yellow dal and is also amazing!
The aloo gobi contains potatoes and cauliflower, and the shahi paneer comes in a rich, yellow gravy made with cream and tomatoes. It’s very creamy! Next was the saag paneer, which was like a creamy spinach dip! The chana masala had a slight kick and was also very tasty!
Then, we talked a bit about Omar’s movie “A.M. Radio,” which is available on Tubi! It touches on lots of important topics and is a beautifully told story!
Next, the tandoori chicken arrived! We tried the tangy and sour pickles, the aloo samosa, and then their amazing drink made with masala water. It was a little strong!
The tandoori chicken was smoky, tender, and juicy! We followed that with the gobi manchurian, which is an Indo-Chinese cauliflower dish that kind of reminds me of popcorn chicken. It’s unbelievable and is coated in an incredible sauce!
Finally, we jumped on the king of dishes, the lamb biryani! It’s insane on its own, and then we added some raita to make it creamy. You can also mix in the other curries as well! It’s so flavorful. Each dish was better than the last!
Then, Omar and I left out to go have some tacos at his taco spot!

[@KING-FU]

Nowhere near his level of knowledge, but I’ve been enjoying Indian food for 20+ years and introduced plenty of dates and friends to it myself. Mother’s Day 2010 I took my 78 YO (German / Irish), traditional, midwestern U.S. Mother and 6 other family members for their first curries, etc. The restaurant owner (Nimesh) was so honored that I entrusted him to serve my Mother and family on such and important day, that he and his wife treated us like their own relatives, serving us off menu items like a food tour of India. That one meal took us from being owner’s and a regular customer, to another level altogether and we are still friends to this day. They are two of the most kind and genuine human beings I’ve ever met. I only shared this story BC these vids stir up great memories. In my experience, one of the most meaningful gestures to learn about other cultures is to openly embrace their cuisine and break bread together. Much respect. ✌🏻

[@KaranBhatia]

Haha this one was entertaining, the most enthusiastic guest yet, he took David's samosa lol, no samosa for David.

[@QueensCurryKitchen]

I really enjoyed you guys digging indian food! I do have to point out that the North Indian cream laden heavy food that we see in North American restaurants is not really a good representation of Indian food-north India has many states and a lot of Punjabi, Himachali, kashmiri food is, believe it or not made with mustard oil n not loaded with cream, we don’t see too many homestyle food restaurants which is something I hope will change one day ! Curry on!

[@anon21qwerty17]

no, not in punjab. it is made with cream,ghee and butter in restaurants. and ghee at home.

[@slicedbread9391]

Cool episode man…

[@mbn6272]

Hey David, I enjoy seeing you eating Indian food. I like the advice you give to all your friends on how to eat Indian food - especially not using the left hand 😅. However you have to change the way you eat your biriyani. Biriyani by itself is very flavourful and should be eaten by itself without mixing the curries which should be eaten sparingly on the side. Also you should not turn the biriyani rice into a ball like you do. Rice and sambar is usually mixed and rounded into a ball before putting into your mouth. Adding curry to biriyani is like adding ketchup on a Pizza ! Please try it this way and enjoy the difference.

Much love david, amazing content for the past few years. But please don't say the British conquered India, it was more like a backstab, cuz they came in as traders, got the kings to trust them which allowed them to bring the troops and also bribed small kingdoms and boom all of a sudden they backstabbed everyone and started pillaging human beings(Indians) and also destroyed the technology, craft and trade structure of the once called Golden Bird of the world.😀✌ Conquering to me is an honourable word used when someone wins a battle and takes over a land fair and square. Edit: There's a lot of misinformation about this so thought I would throw in a summary about it here.

[@moakash7383]

A few corrections to the video. Chicken tikka masala was made by Bengalis coming from Bangladesh that started up restaurants in Britain. Later on it became the national dish of Britain. Also, Punjab is in BOTH India and Pakistan. Majority of Punjabis live in Pakistan such as in Lahore. It’s just like how Bengal is in both India and Bangladesh. Difference is religion and meat vs vegetarian dishes.

[@anon21qwerty17]

wrong. chicken tikka is punjabi evening snack. and masala is gravy used in many punjabi dishes. so combining two punjabi things does not make it british, bengali or bangladeshi.
