OUR FIRST TIME TRYING INDIAN FOOD!! *Honest first impressions*

[@Shri]

It all depends on the restaurant you get it from. Samosas are fire if you get it from the right restaurant. Look for an Indian restaurant that has near 5 star ratings. You will be able to notice the significant difference in how it is prepared. Also, 5 star ratings are dependent on the location as well. If you have only 1 Indian restaurant in that place and it has near 5 star ratings it typically has bias involved in it (as there aren't any other restaurants to compare it to in that location). But nothing beats Indian food in India. That's one thing I love about being in India. The food rocks!

[@riturajsinghbais]

No such thing as a 5 star worthy indian restaurant in US.

[@Shri]

@riturajsinghbais 5 stars here is rating provided by users on an app. Not the typical hotel ratings (3/4/5/7 stars).

[@riturajsinghbais]

@Shri what did you think I mean? What else could a 5 star mean? the highest you can go on the michelin scale is 3 stars ..also, You think India doesn't have similar apps?? Are you trying to make me laugh on purpose?

[@riturajsinghbais]

@Shri and how do hotel ratings come into play for a restaurant? Please elucidate. I want to know now.

[@YouandMe6]

in India, the word curry refers to the gravy of the dish. which must be consumed with bread or rice.

India is basically a continent with many countries in one. Communities, cultures, cuisines change after every 100 mile. There are 28 states a handful of Union Territories and each state will offer you atleast 2-3 cuisines. So I hope you get the picture of how diverse India actually is. Also there is no such thing as an Indian cuisine but a list of cuisines from India. And there is no such thing as curry spice in India. Curry basically translates to a sauce or gravy cooked with different spices and which spices are cooked together, defines the curry. Barbequed and fried items are not curries unless a sauce or gravy is added to the dish. The north indian curries are dairy based whereas the south indian curries are coconut based. You will also find plenty of cuisines to try from various regions in India. When you order Indian food ask the restaurant folks which cuisine does the dish you ordered belong to or which state. Or you could just cook it yourself too. The more popular cuisines outside India are - Mughlai cuisine - (North Indian) dishes eg Mughlai chicken, Changezi, Nihari, Mughlai Paratha, Haleem, Keema, Pulao, Kadai, Pasanda, Rogan Gosh, Mughlai biryani,etc Punjabi cuisine - (North Indian) eg Tandoori Chicken, Butter Chicken, Tikka Masala, Sarson ka Saag, Rajma chawal, Palak Paneer, Amritsi Kulcha, Chole Bhature, Chana Masala, Dal Makhani, Naan, Bhatura etc Tamil cuisine - (South Indian) eg Dosa, Idli, Uttapam, Vada, Chettinad Chicken, Chicken 65, Sambar, Pongal, Payasam, Upma, Ambur Biryani etc Malyalee/Kerela cuisine - (South Indian) eg Prawns in coconut gravy, karimeen fish, Beef Masala fry, Puttu, Appam, Idiyappam, Fish Molee, Thalassery Biryani, Banana chips etc Awadhi cuisine - (North Indian) eg Musallam, do Pyaaza, Korma, Galouti Kebabs, Malai kofta, Rumali roti, Chaat, Aloo gobhi, Gulab Jamun, Badami Chicken, Lucknowi biryani etc Bengali cuisine- (East Indian) eg Fish in Mustard gravy, Mutton Kosha and Chaap, Mishti Doi, Prawn Malaikari, Bhapa Ilish, Muri Ghonto,Aloo Poshto, Luchi, sandesh, rasogulla, Jhal Muri, Kolkata Biryani etc Goanese cuisine- (West Indian) eg Vindaloo, Xacuti, Cafreal, Sorpotel, Bebinca, Dangar, etc Gujrati cuisine - (West Indian) eg Dhokla, Khandhvi, Khakra, Shrikhand, Kadhi, Thepla, etc Marathi cuisine - (West Indian) eg Pav Bhaji, Misal Pav, Vada Pav, Chicken Kolhapuri, Batata Vada, Modak, Bhakarvadi, etc Andhra cuisine (South Indian) - Pulihora, Pootharerkulu, Ulava Chaaru Indo-chinese - Chowmein, momos, manchurian chicken/pork, sweet & sour pork, chilly chicken/pork, springrolls, Szechwan, etc If you find any other cuisine other than these, then it's an added bonus. Dishes from my community are exotic and you won't find them in Indian cities, except places which are within 100miles from where I am. That is again how diverse India is. Indian food is definitely spicy, as in a whole gamut of spices are used as ingredients while preparing the dishes, hence it's very flavorful. But that does not mean every dish packs in heat. Only dishes which have a significant amount of chilly peppers will be hot. Infact some dishes are even on the sweeter side because of the use of dairy products and dried fruits. A typical Indian meal is eaten in a thali. A thali refers to the plate that a thali meal may be served on. The idea behind a thali is to offer all the 6 different flavours of sweet, salt, bitter, sour, astringent and spicy on one single plate. According to Indian food custom, a proper meal should be a perfect balance of all these six flavours. So a typical normal Indian thali would consist of the following- 1. Rice 2. Flat bread 3. Lentil soup (dal) 4. Appetizer ( papad/Papadum) 5. Fried vegetable 6. Vegetable cooked in a gravy sauce 7. Fresh salad vegetable 8. Choice of Meat (chicken/mutton/fish) 9. Curd 10. Pickles / chutneys 11. Sweet dish Dishes served in a thali vary from region to region and cuisine to cuisine in the Indian subcontinent and are usually served in small bowls, called katori in India. These katoris are placed along the edge of the round tray, the actual thali. Sometimes a steel tray with multiple compartments is also used. The number of dish items may increase if you are inviting a guest home. But in some restaurants, people go overboard with the thali concept, where, each thali consist of 40-50 dishes. You can search for- Dara Singh thali Bahubali thali Big Boss Thali Ravan Thali to get an idea of what I mean. Here are some Thalis from different states - food-ndtv-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/food.ndtv.com/food-drinks/13-grand-indian-thalis-you-need-to-try-at-least-once-in-your-life-1758079?amp_js_v=a6&amp_gsa=1&amp=1&akamai-rum=off#referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Ffood.ndtv.com%2Ffood-drinks%2F13-grand-indian-thalis-you-need-to-try-at-least-once-in-your-life-1758079 The most important thing about Thalis is their unlimited refills concept. Here are some tips on eating Indian food - 1. Start off with starters like a kebab or tandoori platter usually served with tamarind sauce, mint or yoghurt sauce. 2. Next we then have the flat bread (roti, chapati, naan, puri, paratha, kulcha, bhatura) www-indiafoodnetwork-in.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.indiafoodnetwork.in/amp/food-stories/the-ultimate-guide-to-the-breads-of-india/?amp_js_v=a6&amp_gsa=1 with some of the side dishes, either vegetarian or non vegetarian curry aka gravy aka sauce. You tear the bread and scoop out the meat along with sauce/gravy/curry. The warmer the bread the more the flavors and less chewy. 3. Then we take the rice into the plate and have it with the lentils or veg/meat sauce/gravy/curry and clean it all up. The hotter the rice, the more chance your mouth will get burnt. And If you having the biryani rice, you take it with a salan gravy and a raita based yoghurt dip. And it's a complete meal on its own. There are 20+ varieties of biryanis depending on which community is cooking it and the region from where it's from. And many will argue that vegetable Biryani is not a biryani. www.whatsuplife.in/different-variety-types-biryani-india 4. Finally finish off with a sweet desert either gulab jamun, rasogulla, kheer, payasam, barfi, sandesh etc We don't scoop out the bread and rice and the sauces/gravy/ curries together at the same time. Also many people eat samosas in their meals on KZbin but then Samosas are usually eaten as a snack during tea time. Also some people have just the bread or rice along with the side dishes as eating both bread and rice at the same time can be too heavy in a single meal. If I may suggest , perhaps if you do want to try out food from India, you can choose, if possible, one cuisine, say Punjabi or Mughlai, grab 3-4 items from that cuisines and have it. Then try another cuisine for the next round. If you are eating with your hands, especially rice, you pour the curry sauce on the rice then use your fingers (not the palm) to roll the rice to somthing like a ball, then take the thumb behind the rice ball, take your hand close to your mouth, and then push the rice into your mouth with your thumb. Would love to see you try out another Indian meal.

[@bobbyeapen6049]

Try just regular chicken curry and then make the judgement if you like it or not. Also try chicken tandoori, dahl, rorgan josh. Also, Gulab jamun needs to be warmed (like fresh), so it's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, but it's heated. Try the following, maybe at a restaurant (do the vid at the place) and order off the menu: North Indian: 1) Chicken Biryani 2) Chole bhature 3) Rojan josh 4) Palak Paneer 5) Mutton Korma 6) Tandori chicken 7) Dal Makhani / Dal Tadka 8) Bhindi masala 9) Kebabs 10) keema (lamb or beef) or keema matar 11) Aloo Gobi 12) Gobi Manchu 13) tikka (chicken or paneer) 14) Nihari 15) Burfi, gajar ka halwa, mango kulfi, milk cake, kaju katli Then check out South Indian: 1) Masala Dosa 2) Vindaloo (chicken, beef, lamb) 3) Chicken 65 4) Kerala Appam and Chicken Ishtu (euro-influenced) 5) Nadan chicken curry 6) Kerala Fish curry (spicy) 7) Chicken roast 8) beef fry and parotta 9) Hyderabadi Biryani 10) El Sadhya (large veg platter with many sides) 11) Madras Curry 12) Paper Dosa and Sambar 13) Andra Chicken 14) meat cutlets / rolls 15) Fish fry, Kerala Fish Curry 16) Shrimp Balcho from Goa 17) Mysore Pak, Payasam(different versions), halwa (orange or black w/ cashews)

9:50 What you guys ate in the video is curry though 😂 And if you liked this, then it is only upwards from here. Because there is no Indian food that you won't like. And as far as sweet/tangy/sour food goes, you have lots of those in Indian dishes too. Its an entire buffet from which you can pick and choose. Also "curry" was a name given by the Brits to Indian dishes. We rarely call them curry ourselves (as we only call it "curry" if it uses curry leaves). What it should actually be called is "Masala" (Hindi word for spices). So the thing you smelt is not curry. It is "Masala"/spices that was probably raw and still not cooked/roasted. It is like, if you have ever walked into to a market that is selling chillies, it stings your nose. Doesn't mean you don't use chilly anywhere (you probably use it everywhere). It is just that you walked in while it was raw/being cooked.
