How Indian Food Is Shaping Southern Culture | Spice Road

[@rupakginn4048]

Had a blast exploring my connection to Indian, Black, and Southern culture - all through the lens of yummy food!

[@Damera00]

From Roanoke and enjoy PBS. 😊

[@Weenpuncher]

Great video!

[@MsJustme1001]

It is such a blessing to see the loving and warm relationship between you and your mother in love.

[@jaharify]

Loved this episode! Great theme - two world class cultures coming together. The food is incredibly tempting.

[@CBD7069..]

My heart is full after watching this, very touching episode!

[@rupakginn4048]

I’m so glad to hear that! Thank you!

[@skittles1624]

As a mexican woman, learning more about my husbands food and culture this episode was particularly cool! I cant wait to pass down an interesting mixture of recipes, from Pozole to Dosas to my children. Swasti!

[@arvindhmani06]

Such a beautiful episode, Rupak! I was moved by the things your MIL said, about learning so much about a new culture. It's always a treasure to spend time with the elders in your family and I love that you showed your story during this series. I also absolutely loved that both you and Nancy ate your food with your hands! The right way to eat Indian food - and not just the finger food! Can't wait for the next one! - and absolutely do Texas soon!! 😀

[@rupakginn4048]

Thank you so much! I'll have to let my MIL know her words moved you - she is an incredible person. And Texas is definitely on the wish list for future episodes!

[@TheMughes]

This is wonderful and everyone in this is so beautiful! I don't have access to PBS, so it's amazing to be able to watch this.

[@artistlovepeace]

Oh man Indian food is so wonderful. Gobi Manchurian. Yummy.

[@sayimjustadreamer]

I'm addicted to this show. How many more episodes?

[@SamiKhan-bw4ej]

Two more coming at you in the next few weeks to hit your addiction!

[@rupakginn4048]

So pleased to hear you like it! Two more eps coming on July 20 and then Aug 3!

[@HerAeolianHarp]

Wonderful story, lovely family, and delectable-looking food!

[@rachelcreagan4647]

Another mouth watering episode! I loved the family stories as well. Well done!

[@rupakginn4048]

Thank you 🙏🏾 I find food is always more fun with family!

[@nicki_006]

4 mins. This already my fav video ❤

[@soniap.8113]

What a beautiful story. Beautiful family. Food looks bomb too!

[@rupakginn4048]

Thank you! The food was indeed bomb. :)

[@oliviamarcum3569]

It was a very great documentary and great food. Me personally being around the Indian community myself and being surrounded by the food my only suggestion would be can we please only focus on the great taste of India and stop making racial slurs. The main reason being is that there is too much of a divide as it is already in our nation and honestly, not all white people are privileged……. Thanks…

[@globalcitizenn]

Love to see couples be able to have intelligent conversations.. both couples are warm, joyful and lovely

[@annasahlstrom6109]

I love this whole series! All the food looks delicious!

[@IgorEngelen1974]

Loved the lady from the restaurant. so open, so joyful

[@u8myshorts]

You are an amazing human being !!

[@jadakiss228]

Heart warming 💜💜 and mouth watering 😋😋

[@rupakginn4048]

Thank you! Hope you were able to grab some Indian food after watching. :)

[@SandhyaTayshetye]

See why kids look cute🎉🎉

[@Reddylion]

Yummy....

[@SandhyaTayshetye]

Southern belle she is 😂😂😂

[@whaddoiknow6519]

Pani puri is an awful term for gol-gappa. It would be like saying tomato onion water for gazpacho or avocado puree for guacamole. The gol captures its roundness, and gappa tells you how you are supposed to have it in a single gulp. The hard and plosive g's evoke the way in which the gol-gappa explodes in your mouth with the burst of spice and flavor. The other term (I can't even say it) is flavorless, tasteless, odorless.

Preach

[@masstwitter4748]

Did I miss the southern fried chicken tikka masala - seems like an interesting combination

[@zorabright7646]

brown Indian people acting all white.

[@cornishpasty4344]

Do we consider Virginia, the south? I don't and I live here.

[@sayimjustadreamer]

Virginia was capital of the Confederacy. It’s definitely the South!

[@georgiasmith7615]

Depends on what part of Virginia. Northern Virginia around DC is Mid Atlantic. But I would say Roanoke is definitely part of the South.

[@georgiasmith7615]

@@sayimjustadreamerRichmond was the capitol of the Confederacy, but where I live in Alexandria there were Union forts so depends on what part of Virginia.

[@AshleyVayal]

Ummm absolutely it is the South. NoVa doesn’t count, culturally speaking.

[@milhouse14]

Indian Food has never really taken off in North America or Europe regardless of how much it is promoted. Westerners don’t like that stuff.

[@JanetBrown-px2jn]

That is not true,there are Indian restaurants in all the big cities,and more opening everyday.After English food,Indian is the most popular in the UK.Westerners most certainly like Indian food. Have you tried it?

[@vedicchant9981]

who cares anyway ?

[@AshleyVayal]

Wrong

[@rochelle2555]

It's popular in DFW Texas.

[@SurajGupta_3D]

Dude England, France is filled with Indian street food and 5 star restaurants, I mean chicken Tikka masala is officially the national dish of English instead of Fish and Chips....I smell something....is that average western wisdom?

[@Fister-kw5un]

Is the south deeply racist OR is Indian food shaping the south? You can’t have it both ways.

[@seethoj12]

literally read a book

[@amritapuntambekar386]

Beautifully shot. Wonderful narration, Rupak!!!❤️😊

[@nantahalacryptid8279]

Golly, it’s almost like it’s a nuanced region with a variety of cultural experiences both negative and positive😮

[@sushanthdk]

Confused whether this is a food program or a Christianity promotion program
