brad trying to impress sohla with his giant bag of basmati rice but her not even noticing is easily the best part of the video.
then he hid it because he thought it was wrong! LOL our classic golden retriever who wants to please!
Emma Labbe I was cracking up on that so much 🤣🤣
Luciano L S huh? No, not at all. I think he just wanted Sohla to be proud of him for getting basmati rice, which he thought was the exact rice for the recipe since it’s also partly an Indian dish. But it wasn’t the exact dosa rice she had so I think he was disappointed and hid it when she didn’t directly acknowledge it.
Omg the number of people who liked this made me so happy i though no one else noticed how adorable that was😤😂🤧
Maria J could it be advertising?
Sohla is the cool valedictorian that explains the concepts to the rest of the class when the teacher doesn't explain them well enough.
this is so cute and true 😭❤
HamRib Art rappo is the teacher that everyone side eyes
15:31 "oh.."
She’s the RUclips tutorial you go to when your teacher can’t explain it
@@carlosgonzalez5089 she's all those indian videos that got me through high school 🙏
I humbly request Hunzi as a guest on back to back chef.
yessss
Needs more likes
this !!!
Yessssss
Love that idea!!
why is their dynamic so "excited 5-year-old tries to impress his kindergarten teacher"
Lmao hahaha 😂😂😂
Sohla has the calmest chaotic energy I've seen, it balances so well with literally everyone. Also, she needs her own show because I want to watch her calmly do something completely different to what she's meant to be doing
SOHLA
Chaotic good
Souls is a Triple OG!!! Love her
@@jennyleech8893 A classic Ranger type. My fave
Yes!! I was trying to figure out why I loved her so much and "calmest chaotic energy" is a perfect description. Super down-to-earth and fun but also a fantastic and knowledgeable teacher.
Claire balances out Brad’s chaos while Sohla feeds directly into it... love the Sohla cameos lately
brad feels a little directionless when his partner doesn't contradict him though, it's a little like watching a dog catch the car
You said it well
She was more than a cameo in this one. She was the co-star.
They are definitely a good balance on camera. Hope they do more of these. They're too funny put together.
@@tanyaizadora Agreed. Brad asked a lot of questions that people who don't cook might ask and Sohla always has the answer. It was refreshing to see it broken down.
Sohla is hands down one of the best addition to the BA test kitchen. She’s so kind, funny, and such a chill and cool person. She makes every video she’s in a million times better. And she’s an amazing chef too, and brings such fun twists and diversity in her recipes. I really hope they’ll give her her own show once they go back!
I couldn't agree more! I started watching Bon Appetit right before Sohla started showing up on the channel and it was super awesome watching her get comfortable and do her thing. She's so relatable and not only a great chef, but also a fantastic teacher.
ITS BECAUSE SHES SO TALENTED AND CAN DO LITERALLY EVERYTHING
I would love to have a friend like Sohla
Cristina
I think she’s also an advocate for racial equality which makes her even better.
yes I love sohla so much!!! she’s got great energy and great cooking instincts
Just realized why i liked sohla. It's like combining claire's knowledge and explaining what happens if you do this and that, with brad's going rogue nature to try new ideas
beautifully said
Yes this! The carbonara episode she shared with Carla and Chris where she went super experimental by making desert carbonara exemplifies this. Super technical like Claire combined with Brad's off the grid mentality.
except she knows more than claire lol
@@xxzhang well, they have diferent areas of expertise, that's why they need to include more people
@@kirosic1 yea except sohla knows everything about every cuisine lol
Priya is an excellent example of a by-the-book/traditional/mom's-way type of indian chef while most of the other chefs like Molly, Chris, Brad, Claire are more experienced in european/western foods and but I agree these chefs certainly have their areas of expertise.
Sohla on the otherhand can easily mix asian, south asian, middle eastern, and western flavors together so I'd say her skills are much more diverse(like her background is too lol). Most chefs don't have that type of range, so we should give credit to Sohla where its due. And of course she has the most experience(worked in 2 michelin star restaurant, started her own restaurant, 15 years of experience, etc etc) so it would make sense that she's such an all rounder compared to the other chefs.
"it's not better or worse, it's just different"
sohla giving us life lesson right there. just because it's different, doesn't mean it's bad
Or good!
Shes quickly becoming a fave of mine.
@@chunk2689 it's already happened! 😂
facts
that username, double thumbs up
If for whatever reason, Sohla can't have her own show, then having her be a guest on *every single one* is the next best thing.
but, you know ....Whatever
Why not both?
I want a show where sohla creates experimental versions of traditional dishes so badly
Y'all I think we've nailed it.
The show is called 'Whatever'
She needs to wear a lab coat
She does experimental versions of 'whatever' dish she wants.
Another BA chef makes the classic version.
Someone call Rappo, I'm ready to pitch this.
@@meloD30 yes, except the show is called
"but, you know ...Whatever with Sohla El-Waylly", it is the little sister show to "It's Alive with Brad the Golden Retreiver", Hunzi made the graphic, it has been written, it shall be so
It's such a surprise to find out that Sohla hasn't been paid for her appearances in videos considering how much info she adds to videos. She always gives amazing explanations and goes in depth with the science aspect of the food very often. She's SMART, KNOWLEDGEABLE, AND SKILLED. PAY HER
She's also the only one of the chefs there that owned her own restaurant.
A A she said it herself on instagram
AGREE this is so cringe knowing how she wasn't compensated for her input - ITS NOT TOO LATE BA PAY HER
The tiny hand receiving the dosa made my week
Sohla: I'm not a scientist!
Also Sohla: (comparing the results of her tests with 4 independent variables) I think that maybe alkalinity is playing a role...
IKR! For her show she'll def need a lab coat.
This pitch is really coming together.
To quote Adam Savage: The difference between screwing around & science is taking notes. Sohla is proving the hypothesis!
She’s a food scientist!
@@coffeesticks_03 Totally!!!
BA Producers take notes!
Imma need Sohla to have her own show when quarantine is over. She's such a gem in like every way.
Adam says they are working on one for her.
In the meantime, you can see that even before lockdown they were getting Sohla on other shows.
Sohla On All The Shows
Sohla Does Everyone Else’s Jobs
The fans need to make sure this happens. She's the part of BA that you never knew was missing
I agree. 100% 🙌🏽
I'm a South Indian and we eat dosa almost every day. It's a staple food here.
Soo happy to see this on my favourite BA channel 😍
I'll share a few pointers
1. Here's how the timeline works soak the dal, rice, Fenugreek and small cup of poha(flattened rice) before breakfast in the morning. Let it soak all day. Grind it (without the salt) before you go to sleep. Keep it in a warm place and next day morning it's ready to cook.
2. So the key is to NOT add the salt when you're blending which will make the batter go tangy, watery and spoils the taste. You have to add the salt few minutes before you cook and mix.
It's not supposed to be too tangy. There're million permutations and combinations of dosas you can make and eat with number of chutneys and currys, stir frys etc
3. Season your skillets otherwise it won't come off. When you're cooking you can add any vegetable oil instead of ghee or a mixture of both and sprinkle some spice power. What we use is called chutney pudi or gun powder you can also sprinkle peri peri powder, taco seasoning, Cajun spice etc. Grate some cheese on top and eat. It tastes like heaven ❤️
Yes! Definitely agree with all this
I Know this but i didnt remember it i am going to paste it in my notes thanks
I really don't like Indian food but you've convinced me to try Dosas tomorrow :D
@@kylenakamura4353 south indian food is easy for non indians to warm up to so dont be worried about that man just enjoy north indian recepies need some appetite for spice .
try maharashtrian breakfast foods they would make a good change too.
look for poha ,or upma
Chutney pudi is life 😍😍😍
Sohla is like the Anti-Claire and yet I absolutely adore both of them.
Jo but she also complements Claire so well on Gourmet Makes!
This is a very accurate statement!
Whoever decided to pair Sohla and Brad together needs a raise.
You mean, all of the fans and commenters of BA?
greenlantern1986 I agree - they did well together ... she is so chill.
They're so good together. Brad sometimes bulldozes over other people's personalities but Sohla is so relaxed but also stinking good at everything that the two of them are great counterparts to each other
I think Brad has found his match for chillest person in the kitchen. Sola, "it's fine, it doesn't matter. Anything goes."
Huynh Nguyen *okay but like, imagine MOROCCO*
Brad has optimistic chill, sohla has nihilistic chill
@@nerdherder9340 this is why I like Sohla. Thank you for these words.
I love Brad but he doesn't strike me as chill at all, he seems pretty hyper and loud lol
@@chrisn1713 yea of course he's a golden retriever trapped in a human body
Brad may have a "fermentation station", but Sohla's all about that "experimentation station"
...I love it.
My therapist: Garla doesn’t exist, she can’t hurt you.
Garla: 5:43
Brad stopping his stirring when Sohla talks about better not overstirring it ... is so great
15:31 "...oh."
Yeah, I noticed that and was like Brad stop stirring! Basically the CO2 must not escape so that you get those bubbles on the surface of the sourdough pancake.
after analyzing sohla’s appearances in like every show (see gourmet makes and it’s alive), i can conclude that sohla is the ultimate ingredient to make anything more interesting
Agreed. 😊
That they all adore her and trust in her skill just makes really nice interactions
Fact
People's fascination with the BA staff is kinda creepy :/
Don’t forget she was on with Chris making the gumbo.
“Why not” the Sohla & Brad way
The caption generator was not prepared for Brad Leone.
Lagoons lol best one
This combination of people together brings me such joy during quarantine.
This is absolutely correct.
One hundred percent.
allison barish me too
I liked this video before I even watched it and now having watched, my only regret is having but 1 like to give.
Even before. But especially during. And finally find a use for those lentils I've had since ... some time ago
Sohla looks so cute with her headphones, and her card says Clementine's publicist.
Also love Brad and his fermentation romcom drama. His wife and kids are so cute, Peggy, unknowingly eating his Dosa filling and Cal supporting his daddy by eating the first Dosa.
I like how they both had their partners try it at the end too.
Sohla probably has the sweetest personality on RUclips 😁
Griff looking into the camera and then Clementine doing the same thing (kinda...) says to me these are parallel dimensions!😅
Sohla honestly makes me feel like I could make absolutely anything. Even when things go wrong, they go right. She's like the Bob Ross of cooking.
"it's not better or worse, it's just different"
sohla giving us life lesson right there. just because it's different, doesn't mean it's bad
Nobody:
The editors at Bon Apetit: g a r l a
I freaking love how Sohla can crossover into any series and just fits perfectly.
And not get paid for it 🐸☕️ hope she takes over Bon Appétit
I hope they start paying her for it soon...
Brad realizing how deep Sohla's low key badass genius runs, and hyping it instead of trying to compete is why Brad is the GOAT.
Huh?
Shinkajo basically brad knows and appreciates how genius and inventive sohla is, and instead of overshadowing her, he hypes her up
You're telling me that Sohla didn't get paid for this video?? Madness.
TRULY BAFFLING.
How do we know shes not getting paid???
@@markramirez9334 she said herself that she doesn't get paid for screen time.
@@rebeccafossmusic and of course she's saying the truth huh
@@OmarBKar-sw1ij to be fair, no one is denying it. And Bon Appetit has had issues with not paying their BIPOC and favouring white chefs
“You’re gonna have to scaboot, so I’m gonna give you a piece of cheese” - best dad ever
Sohla: “I don’t know, I’m not a scientist”
Also sohla: sets up controlled experiment on the effect of alkalinity on the fermentation of her batter
True, only thing missing is a decent replication of the groups :)
when I heard it I was like yeah Sohla you do know! you just did it!
I love how the ‘Sohla: I don’t know science.”’ Thing is practically a BA meme at this point. She’s so brilliant it’s insane
Brad: So, no rules. We're just having fun.
Sohla: Why not?
Their essence in that exchange.
Gotta love it! Relaxed, curious people for the win :D
especially notable cuz most of the time it goes like --
Brad: HEY! WHAT IF WE TRIED {literally any suggestion}
Claire/Andy/Chris: OK, but No.
"Garla" has to be the best thing that happened since BA quarantine started. That running gag is perfect. 😂
I love Gaby, Sohla, Priya, Rick, Andy and Christina! Support equal pay and Rapports resignation!
Clementine doing her little peeks over the table is cutest thing ever.
The other dog, Vito?, perched on the furniture hoping for a snack was pretty cute too.
"Mommy, can I have a bite?"
@@KenS1267 Yep
Sohla BA’s chameleon. Just bringing out the best in everyone!

If so, then she's BA's salt!
WE DEMAND THAT SOHLA GETS PAID
STFU SPAM
@@td866 Imagine defending the racist company.
Why does Brads kitchen perfectly capture his chaotic and wonderful energy
Brad getting a taste of his own medicine with Sohla’s whole “yeah, I wrote a recipe with specific things but, nah, we aren’t gonna do that” ... LOL 😂
more like brad getting a ... dosas own medicine amirite hehe
@@roynobody and yorke 7624 - very funny, both.
He could’ve made a cheeseburger and she would’ve been like “it’s all good it looks like a good dosa it’s just different”
Lol that sums up Sohla
queen of optimism
Cheese dosa lowkey fire tho 👀
Sohla is brilliant and deserves to be paid!!!!
I would totally watch “But You Know… Whatever!” with Sohla El-Waylly
I need the show "but yah know whatever" with Sohla.
Sjgatonart “yah, why not?” With Sohla.
@@thoughtsofanobody it should probably be a different show title every episode hehe
Or : it'll be fine!
Alternative title: BA’s most chaotic and least chaotic members come together to make magic
I think they're both chaotic, but sohla is leaning more towards a chaotic neutral while brad is more chaotic evil 🤣.
While sohla be like : you can follow the rules... or not. I'm doing what i want to do either way.
Brad is more like: why is there even a rule?
Sohla is sneakily chaotic. Doesn't let her chaos be that conspicuous.
@@sassyyssas147 Nicely put.
Sohla: I know the rules, it's this... aaaaand we're going to break them today. Or not. Whatever, you do you.
Brad: Rules? What are rules? Where we're going there are no rules.
Like a Picasso or a Schoenberg or other artists who embrace dissonant sounds, it's best to have a base level of core competencies to improv on top of em, or know the rules and why they exist, so you can selectively break them to make the end results better.
@@impulsethoughts3683 Your analogy with music is so spot on
Got to agree with these other replies, Brad and Sohla are definitely both chaotic. Along the alignment spectrum, I'd label Sohla as chaotic good and Brad as chaotic neutral.
When it's safe to travel again, It's Alive should do a segment on Vietnamese fish sauce and the many fermented sauces of Southeast Asia.
I just wanna achieve Sohla’s level of adaptability.
Sohla : I feel like you always have smoked fish around you.
Brad: Well that’s very nice of you sohla.
"that's the nicest anyone has ever said to me"
Brad doesn't care whether its true or not, he appreciates the sentiment fully and completely, and thats why we love him
literally a golden retriever and a cat who’s messing with him
I love this image, what a great analogy
I dunno, I feel like the cat/dog relationship goes to Claire/Brad. Watching Sohla/Brad is like watching two happy dogs play together. I like this combo for different reasons.
DHGroove
Also cat/dog goes to Chris and Brad.
it’s like a reverse oliver and company, just a dog living in a cat’s world
No matter what, we all agree that Brad is a dog.
Sola has slowly become my favorite test kitchen member. She’s so chill and happy so often and then there is existentialist sola.
Give Sohla and all BIPOC employees equal pay!
^This AND backpay for all their past unpaid appearances!!
SPAM
the addition of pets to the bon appetit cinematic universe is the best part of quarantine
mille and kids/family
We didn't get introduced to Carla's cat in Back to Back and Claire's less favorite cat though. They're holding out.
This is easily my fav BA video ever. I literally laughed out loud throughout. Brad + Sohla is such a winning combination; that’s the best sort of fermentation, not just food, but lots of joy. Sohla: the ever-encouraging and patient teacher, always attuned and improvising. Brad the hyperactive student, very curious and excited. Makes food prep and cooking fun and less intimidating. Sending lots of love to Team BA!
me too. they are the perfect BA combination
Pay Sohla. And give Sohla and Rick their own series.
7:37 "Im more of a jar 2/3 full kinda guy" what a throwback reference i dropped what i was doing and had to applaud

2:09 Brad proudly holding up Basmati Rice only to find out there is such a thing as "Dosa Rice"' was THE FUNNIEST THING. 😂
Just realized that Hunzi has to remember every Brad reference in order to make these edits, whilst creating new references for the future. He’s like that one friend that gets all the inside jokes.

Okay, Sohla's always adorable and a wonderful person, but those headphones just make her over the moon cute af.
Pay Sohla for these, and make Rapo resign!
Garla showing up exactly when the blenders started scared me more than I'd like to admit.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
im SO happy garla is back!!!!!!
Sohla’s dogs and Brad’s children make this episode(and every episode where they appear) even better 😂
When Cal reached his little hand up for a piece of the dosa!?! Sooooooo adorable.
PAY SOHLA FOR THIS
STFU SPAM
Do you mean to tell me that Brad gets paid for this video and Sohla does not? JUSTICE FOR SOHLA.
Is no one going to talk about how two months into quarantine Sohla's hair and bangs are still perfect? Is she cutting her own hair? Is Ham cutting her hair? It's beautiful.
This is the first thing I noticed and I am dying for her to give us a tutorial!

Hope Sohla got paid for this appearance!
“Clementine is outspoken against your disregard for the scientific method” favorite edit of the video
The thing about Sohla that I absolutely adore is the fact that when she corrects Brad she doesn't sound condescending and make Brad look stupid in front of the camera. LOVE U SOHLAAA
It's just Brad and Sohla and she isn't even getting paid for this?! WTF!!
See her Insta @Sohlae
“You hear that everyone? Keep that to yourselves.” Hunzi’s editing stays unparalleled
Sohla is at once the asian parent who's just like: "why does it matter, anything works just do what feels right" but also the extremely specific kid in class who is bothered when things aren't exactly correct
sphericalsushi she wants to know exactly what not to care about

Not that Brad isn't wonderful, but Sohla is such a gem.
15:25 Brad, disarming a bomb: Ok, I'm now cutting the red wire. *snip*
Sohla: Great. But first, cut the blue wire.
I can’t properly express how perfectly perfect the duo that is Brad and Sohla is. So precious. So thoughtful. So chaotic, in opposite ways. It’s... *chef’s kiss*
Muhammad Ali Javaid HOMIE-OSTASIS
@Muhammad Ali Javaid as all things should be
I feel like brad finally has a buddy that is kind of like him, willing to experiment, make it your own, if there’s a mistake let’s still go with it. Sohla definitely needs her own show, or at the very least make her a co host/guest in its alive or gourmet makes
Can be also renamed as "that video where we continued to not pay Sohla"
Clementine: gets shown off to the camera.
Grif: gets bribed to leave with some cheese.
Brad stirring and stirring and then Sohla coming in hot with the “I don’t like to stir continuously” DYING
15:24
Pay Sohla and have equal representation of POC!!!!!!
Sohla legit instructs brad this entire video and she didn’t get a cent of it?! So infuriating
It's a travesty!!
Where are people getting this information? I just wanna learn more
RIDICULOUS
Vicky Duffy Just look up the recent resignation of Editor in-Chief Adam Rapoport. That’ll explain everything.
I hope someone calls out brad, he's annoying and he seems like be sexist, racist, homophobic etc. Calling it now, someone is gonna take him downnnnnn
31min of Brad being self conscious about his ingredient choices

It’s killing me that Sohla has made nice big crepe like dosas and Brad’s is like a lil chubby pancake 😂
We call that an uthappam! It is delightful in its own right, just add some tomatoes and onions!
What Brad accidentally ended up making would actually be called "Uttapam".
So good with onions and peas too!
In the words of Sohla, all dosas are good dosas.

You know those people that seem like cartoons of real humans? They're both exactly that. Delightful.
Glad to see Vanilla Bean Situation is still puttin' out the hits.
Loving how curious Brad is about all the variations Sohla is making when a typical it's alive episode is "today I'm making fermented garlic but hey I have these other 12 things lying around, let's add them too!"
Brad’s kids are honestly the stars of these quarantine episodes. Cal’s little ‘bye!’ was so sweet!
Something about Brad saying good boy to his son like to a dog just feels right
