Hats off to Yuki to make them understand so well to our Indian culture, cause its not easy to make them understand sometimes but she handle it amazingly well, love from India.
Bro she should represent her state not whole india cause am a hyderabadi. So I couldn't connect with her explanation of demostrating about the way of eating
Papad is not a starter.. it’s a crunchy accompaniment. That’s why it’s spicy & salty coz it’s not meant to be eaten on its own. It’s usually eaten with rice & Sambar
@@swati2899because they want you to order again,they purpose fully serves as a starter so that you get bored waiting for food and eat it and then you order it again while eating😌
In my area people usually prefer eating rice during daytime and roti at night It's always hard for single indian to define how and what Indians eat coz there's a lot of diversity so it's kinda impossible but she did her best and I appreciate that
Yet. She's a serious minority telling this is how India is. When representing us on a world forum we should also mention majority things common to all Indians. 95% Indians eat rice in lunch time. DAY time.
In my household to we eat rice during Day and roti at night because rice help not get hungry really fast for strength but during night we are having roti because it's easy to digest
A slight correction - Paprika would be similar to Kashmiri Red Chilli which gives the curries that distict red color but not the spice, and Capsicum is just Bell Peppers. Also, I wouldn't say papad is a starter, more like an accompaniment with creamy / less spicy dishes like khichdi, or even pulao to add spice and crunch to them. I really hope some of the not so popular dishes are shown as well, we always only see naan, tikka masala, butter chicken / paneer, etc.
@@shilpihota6276 Capsicum & Chilli is different 🙄 we have different types of chilli powders in India (according to different regions), paprika is sweeter to taste because it's a MIX of spices. Like Peri peri is a Mix!
🥉✋😆 ...Northeast Indian food is ...so so... different as compared to mainland India .....i wish ... foreigners acknowledge them as well. Indian food varies according to it states .... (India is so diverse in people as well as their food)
Yeah I agree with you , I come from a tribal group of Jharkhand and we have so many similarities with the tribes of northeast even in food, and yes our food is very different than food from the northern side.
Will you north easterners drop this "mainland India" term? Tf you mean by that lmao. This isnt China. If you wanna use terms like this you can very happily fucking leave lol
Even though Papad or Pappadum is served as a started in Indian restaurants in the West, it is actually a palette clenser. So, when you are moving from one flavor to another and dont want to mix & confuse, take some bites of papad & it will neutralize the palette completely, making it ready for the new taste. That is the reason, Pappadums in South India are bit more alkaline & salty.
Yes. Sometimes I didn't liked the food bcs I felt it's not tasty and left it on the plate but when my mom feed me with her hand the same food magically tastes better
Our Desi (Indian) behen (sister) doing us proud in multiple languages. For a few things she was a little bit off, but got the main point of it all across to people from 3 countries, and did it with style and class. Kya baath.
It is nice to see our culture being shown and appreciated by others😊However, as a South Indian I can say that we do not use palm leaves, we use banana leaves to eat food on special occasions.😄Also, we have few etiquette while eating with hand. We always keep our nails short and clean so that we do not ingest dirt and we wash our hands before eating food. I would also like to say that I may lick my fingers when at home in private but never in public 😄I understand it is the easiest way to clean our fingers but traditionally we use the thumb to remove food from our fingers and use index finger to remove food from the thumb and put it back in our plate and eat it. 😀I now feel old explaining these stuff, I was mostly taught these etiquette in primary school😂 but I say kids these days don't remember their etiquette and probably need a refresher🤭
@@Kaybye555 I do not think a Banana plant is considered a type of palm tree or even a tree for that matter. However, Coconut trees are considered a type of palm tree though they are very different.😀
Honestly She explained it really well [not all of them but most of them] hat's off to her 10:39 also depends state to state , here roti is mostly consumed at morning and night, and day time is rice time
@@only_treats_no_tricksya true I m uttrakhandi so we need a one time in a day bcz without rice we not sleep well 😂😂 but rajsthani they do not like eat rice I don't know why.
@@yashika_rawat__ absolutely agree with you about the sleeping part. Technically rice makes your body cooler too. During summer it's a must for us but during winter we don't eat rice at dinner.
I have read somewhere that ' A person in abroad is an ambassador of his native country. ' Yukta you have proved it and you are fulfilling your responsibility very well. Because foreigners think eating with hands is somewhat dirty but you described very that it related to Chakras and digestion. Very well explained.
@@yuktatyagiofficial ?there is nothing wrong with being from a rich household though. Why i said that is because the experience of someone from rich household is fairly different from the majority of Indians. I said that when u mentioned thali is like 500-1000rs and also hearing papad being a starter was first for me because we always had it as complementary for rice dishes here in South atleast. Also the banana leaf part , capsicum etc. So I assumed u were raised in a upper class house that's why u made some mistakes. But now that I saw your other comment i understand u explained everything well and the video was very much edited from hours of shooting. And ya i understand your pov...you must have been excited to shoot this video and seeing many comments must have put you down. Since our country is filled with billion+ people there will always be such problems....u can see when u see any videos like these , there's always comments saying otherwise 😅. So don't get down by these comments. At the end of the day there are many many people who enjoy watching you in all these videos and representing india.
@razee7869 I know there's nothing wrong but people usually use it as a hate comment....and the thali I said that it's expensive if you go to a high end restaurant.
Thank you for having me as always ❤ The way I sometimes don’t even wanna appear on these shows cause at the end of the day whatever explanation is given is not good for India’s population. The only mistake I acknowledge I’ve made in this video is the confusion with the banana leaf and palm leaf. Other than that the optic nerves 😂😂😂 sorry, i wasnt having it that day. I meant nerve endings. Try being multilingual and then thinking for all you haters out there. Secondly all of you out there saying papad is complementary, does your mom serve you papad at home with lunch or dinner ? Or have we now normalized eating papad as a starter because it’s light on the stomach Next people saying it’s weird to have dal with naan or it’s weird to have this with that clearly do not realize India is diverse and that we all come from different families and different backgrounds meaning our eating practices will be different too. Honestly by the day I am getting sick of y’all in the comments cause please come here and do it instead of me if you think you can mention every state, every culture, every religion better. I could honestly care less. Like genuinely come and do it. I am really emotionally exhausted. This video was shot for around 2 to 2 and a half hours. A lot of what I said didn’t make it to the video. I have mentioned we eat daal with rice, I have mentioned that yogurt can be consumed with chicken at most, I have mentioned so many things for that day that we filmed for 6 hours. I have mentioned how the cheapest thaali is around 30 inr and the price can increase anyhow based on whether it’s a 5 star restaurant or not. no matter what I do, no matter what I film, no matter what I say, it’s never enough. I am sick of Indians being against Indians. There’s no right way of doing things in a culturally diverse country of 1.5 billion people. I genuinely don’t think I will appear for a long time because I am upset, sick and emotionally affected by all of you in the comments. It’s easy to type it out but obviously since none of you know how it is behind the scenes you will keep running your mouths cause that’s what you all know to do. I love how we celebrate diversity but the moment it’s showcased or explained everybody has a problem and want their way to be correct. I’m ashamed of all of youq
@@COOLSABYA2 haha yeah I got confused about that too 🥹, livin in a foreign country and speaking multiple languages kinda disorients you and your vocabulary 😫😫💗
1. Eating with hand is better way to eat. 2. Sensing the food in 3 ways seeing, smelling, touching. 3 is better than 2. 3. In this show itself I seen many used to smell food before eat to better know the food, same goes for touch with hand.
There's also being able to have control over the amount of food, cuz using hands allows you to have better control on the amount compared to a spoon. Plus, the temperature, you won't accidentally burn your tongue if you use your hands, since you'll feel how hot it is before you get it anywhere close to your mouth.
all of the dishes are from punjabi cuisine but popularly attached to indian cuisine abroad . and every state leave that every city has a different cuisine or flavour palate and dishes . I hope some day they too come to the lime light like this .
In North Eastern, Eastern and Southern parts of India, usually we don't eat roti. We eat rice in both lunch and dinner . People who are diabetic, they usually consume roti....And food is way cheaper in the Eastern part of India .
Yukti didi..as a Bengali from Eastern India, we usually use banana leaves and not palm leaves. I don't think we can eat on palm leaves lol. In Bengal we also add Yoghurt to chicken and mutton. The taste is just exquisite and so much better
Im from Bengal part of india and we eat rice at lunch and roti at dinner lmao so its exactly opposite. Also here fish curries are made more often than meat curries and yes of course daal and vegetable curry is a daily staple. So in every day at lunch / dinner its usually rice/roti with some dish of daal and a vegetable curry and once a week all that with a fish curry. Different variations of curries using different vegetables and spices of course. Most of the families here (in bengal) don't eat non vegetarian food everyone so like 4-5 days a week vegetarian and 2-3 days any fish/meat /eggs. Of course some families eat fish curries every day but most families have more vegetarian based diets.
For those of us old enough to remember, roti really started in the very bad days of the middle and late 60s, when we depended on imported wheat, due to the tremendous food shortages; for my generation, PL480 is engraved in our hearts and minds. It was then that Bengalis were forced to eat rotis, those being typical of food habits further up the Ganges Valley. Luchi and Dal Puri were always part of the cuisine, but obviously as special treats (OK, luchi mangsho being a staple for celebrating something). The fish in our cuisine kept us safely grounded in rice; imagine fish with roti! Yuck.
In Indian cuisine, it is considered important to never leave food on one's thali. The culture values not wasting food and encourages the consumption of leftovers by modifying them into new dishes.
@@mlg1279 im from ap and i can say we eat more on banana leaf and we use different kinds of leaves to make plates and use them after dried but palm is something ive never seen , we use palm leaves as roofs tho in villages or for farm huts
@@SL33py45H I didn't see banana leaf being used in AP - when I lived there. In temple functions and other social gatherings, they used something called vistaraaku - made of leaves.
Can you even eat in palm leaves?? I checked online to make sure indian palm leave and it is way too seperate for it to be used as plates lmao Here in HP, we use pattal which could be made from sal or banyan or other similar tree leaves.
Her explanation is so good. I am happy that she told them about roti that many don't know in foreign countries!!!! We survive due to rotizzz and die due to Naans( if eaten regularly). Thanks!!!!
So, the simple reason Indians 🇮🇳 eat with hands is BECAUSE OF PRACTICALITY. You will never see Italians eating pizza with a knife and fork or Mexicans eating tortilla with a spoon. For north Indians, our STAPLE FOOD is chapati, you have to tear it with hands and then fold things inside it. You smush veggies/meat inside it. Folding action can't be done without using hands. This is one of the most simple reasons. Once you have used your hands for it and there's already food in your hands...might as well eat rice with hands too. That's how we see it. Its kind of the same with South Indian food like dosa.
8:07 Another pointer about naan - its difficult compared to roti for making in small batches but becomes much easier and faster to prepare in bigger batches. So you may find some Indian restaurant that have a lot of customers avoid having tava roti in their menu and keep naan. It becomes more economical in time as well as cost. Also the common tandoors used in restaurants (the metal barrel) has a huge startup time and cool down time.
man the Indian women keeps eating and enjoying the food more than listening to others, it seems like her mind was on the food the whole time.......seemed like she didn't have the authentic food from India for long time until this program......it was funny
Two Corrections, as she said usually indians have rice at night it is a wrong statement coz India doesn't mean only North India. North East Indians eat Rice on every single meal it is an only option for north easterns, though we have roti here but its not the first choice. Roti arrived to this part of the country only after independence, and not on palm leaf, it's on banana leaf or banana stem.
Well she said several things wrong, like curd and meat, palm leaves instead of banana leaves, papad always as starter and lot more ... She mostly have semi North Indian perspect.
I think she got confused between Palm Leaves and Banana Leaves. We in South India use Banana and Vistaraku leaves (Patravali / Bauhinia varigata) for eating food and Palm Leaves to weave baskets, thatch roofs, inscribe manuscripts etc.. eating on palm leaves, unless woven, might be a little difficult.
@@indrajitgupta3280, be assured, no one is picking on Yuki! She’s adorable and also human so it’s absolutely okay to err. I hope you realise that many people( like yourself) read comments so clarifying something is adding to someone’s knowledge bank. Now, tone is something you assign to text while reading it and I wouldn’t be wrong in saying that’s a perception problem not an expression problem.
Any South Indian should make them eat breakfast lunch and dinner, in North side they eat same and tastes same but in south side it's really yummy and different varieties for breakfast dosa or idly with sambar chatney, idiyappam with kadala curry, appam with coconut milk mix with some sugar or jaggery powder or with vadacurry and then for lunch veg version appalam, variety rice like tomato rice, coconut rice, lemon rice , mint rice etc...., and in non veg version chicken or mutton biryani, rice sambar fish curry , chicken curry, rasam, prawn curry and last for dinner parotta or chappathi with chicken curry or mutton curry or beef curry and veg version venpongal sambar, poori potato curry,
Yoghurt is very much compatible with every kind of meat. Infact it is used for marination in both chicken and mutton in various Indian dishes. Biryani, curry i guess every or almost every form and raita is a welcome whether it is vegetable raita or boondi raita or mint raita. And even for fish- it is said we can have yoghurt after fish but never milk. I am not sure about sea food though.

You explain so beautifully Yuki, I know in state wises it's different concept but it's really good explanation. I am from Kolkata, we eat pappad at the end with so many chutney specially plastic chutney made with papaya, date, raisins etc which is translucent , sometimes with tomato chutney. Then we eat sweets or payesh which is made of rice, milk and raisins. And I don't know clearly know of other sates but our food started with at household where started with bitter foods like gourd smash or fried/leafy vegetables /neem with potato fried ... then main course with some light soup types like lentos(with cucumber or papaya ...) or fish curry or prawn curry... then in weekends or end of the week meat (chicken or mutton , I eat only chicken) ; then the foods or deserts which I told first.🥰🥰 You can share with your household foods style . Love you all. ❤❤❤❤
Wrote my comment before I saw this very complete round-up. Thanks. Shukto, dalna, fish, mutton, chutney with papor, payesh or mishti doi and sweet is the typical full line-up, with cuts and additions according to the hostess' decisions.
Just a correction it’s just a personal preference if people like to break their breads/naans with one hand or two. I think people normally use two hands instead of one especially for thick breads like naan.
I really loved how educated Yuki is about her roots.. but it is to be noted that India is still a vast country with different mindset.. hence, different preferences about how to eat papad, or when to eat rice, etc. Lastly, curd with chicken is okay, but not with red meat and fish especially (it will cause acidity).
So as northeast Indian here. Eating roti is like a once in a month event for us we are mostly three time rice a day person and also those north indian curries are not meant for rice they are way too sweet. Our northeast indian are mostly white rice or sticky rice people and our food culture is similar to Burma or Thailand or Bangladesh. Edit: we also have black, red, brown and many different rice with beautiful aroma.
We Northern Himalayans (Himachal, uttrakhand etc) used to eat a lot of himalyan red rice which is kind of disappearing now because it's expensive and not readily available compared to white rice. We use less spices in our traditional dishes and use things like sesame, perilla frutescens seeds etc. Our food culture is similar to Nepal,Tibet and Bhutan.
@aalu5638so you mean to say is north defines the entire India 😂😂bro grow up she said Indians eat roti not every Indians eat roti most Indians prefer rice exept the North Indians
My respect increase for yuki she explained about left handed too and said that doesn't mean their left hand isn't clean. I am Indian and it's opposite to me like what you do with right I do with left and vice versa. But some people interrupt me and say don't eat with left hand. How I explain to them it's not dirty!😩
Actually we do not pick up chicken curry with hand and put on rice if it's in a bowl....we use spoon to place it in the plate and then mix it with rice and eat....why did she put her hand in the bowl to pic up the curry 😂😂😂
@@tyshadonyxs2008 chicken piece is ok ...but curry...dont we scoop curry with a spoon to place it over the rice or just pour curry on rice ....Yeah maybe , coz India is a huge country...we don't do the way she did ...u might do...that's cool.....
@@rach0612 where we are from we either overturn the entire small bowl of dal on rice and mix with hand, or scoop the dal with hand to mix however much we want. In case of sabji, we just scoop with hand. We also use spoons if we don't want too much of a mess
@@tyshadonyxs2008Those are mostly dry sabji, no? You pick up dry side dishes with your hands, but wet ones (like curry, etc) you tilt your bowl or use a spoon, i don't think hands are used for the wet side dishes unless you're picking out a piece from the curry? Edit: oh nvm, you do that with dal, interesting
@@KalafinaBTS spoons were never used enough with our older generations which lived together and had too many children per couple. Spoons were usually in this case not used much I guess as I have always seen the elders use hands for every single thing. They will also wash hands in the dish itself at the end while sitting down. Nowadays though u see more cutlery being used everywhere. Not forks though
The reason hands are used is because hands help you understand the temperature of food and you don't end up burning your tongue. The fingers also help you feel the things, food is an experience for different senses so touch also helps you enjoy the food more just like smelling and looking at it. Another scientific benefit of using hands is we've a lotta probiotic bacteria on our hand, good bacteria that is which helps you have a good gut health. Hands also help you to not take huge portions tho nowadays people still find ways to but originally it limited people's portions that they eat in one go so that helped towards a healthy lifestyle. Obviously you wash your hands properly before having food so ain't exactly unbothered as people think it is.
In India culture eating time is generally was breakfast at 8 , lunch at 11, snack at 3 , dinner before 7 nomore eating after sunset,if you feel hungry than having a glass of milk before bed at 10 pm , getting up early before sunrise this was a routine for health life, home cook food
Five fingers represents five elements of nature (air, water, fire etc) n only one hand is used to eat not both. Its an art comes with practice not both its messy.the back of your fingers should be clean not how korean girl is dipping, now that also comes with practice.
Her cheap thali is so expensive. South indians dont eat eat long rice everyday. Its used for making, Biriyanis and ghee rice. We use normal size rices usually.
Indian food is not about NAAN and Butter chicken it is mainly on the northern part of India. Don't say all Indians eat rotti and naan. south Indian food is completely different from north also north east food. So pls don't address it like the main food in India
India is a diverse country and there is much more diversity in our food culture. Each state has their own cuisine. What world generally know is the mainland India food. I think foreigners should be equally introduced to North east India food( less oily, less masala, healthy)
Ha ha ha ha ha, try telling a Kannadiga that. There the cuisine changes every hundred kilometres or so, and I'm pretty sure that is true of other places as well (in Bengal, we tend to stick to a settled routine). Andhra and Telangana also have wide variations in their food and cuisine ever so often.
Rice Thali in LUNCH (Day time) is staple From a rice based country we've slowly moved to roti in the NIGHT. NOT vice versa. Labour intensive jobs do eat rice twice. But middle class? No. Very rare. Only if there's biriyani it's possible to feed someone rice at night.
I don't think people usually pick curry with hand, it's very inconvenient, we usually eat rice at the end and just empty up the curry bowl in the rice and then just mix it with your finger tips that way your fingers stay clean then just make mini rice mountains according to the size you want to put in your mouth. Also no one stresses so much on eating with hand, it's not mandatory.
In a word, brilliant and well-balanced presentation, and not to worry about us picky people who insist on pointing out every tiny variation that keeps us different from others.
Sorry but the Indian came up with reasoning which are not accurate no body says eat rice at night and you do have yoghurt in meats in some northern dishes. Not everyone eat yoghurt with rice in India it’s not something general people do maybe in the south
in eastern part we do eat rice at night …even in south people eat rice more than roti..yes we also have yoghurt with rice but some people don't do as they have there reasoning and yukti saying that that's not incorrect, we do eat rice with yoghurt maybe ur region doesn't but india is vast and mostly all have there own preference. so u cant say she is wrong she have her own reasoning.
@@99999573 she’s wrong because that doesn’t apply to northern people because no body says eat rice at night that’s the worst thing you can do to your body is to have carbs allot of Indians are educated and health conscious and it’s really depends on people rather than a generalize statement
@@flores7190 so u saying uneducated people are not health conscious, or taking rice at night make u unhealthy, dude that complete north mentality. we eat rice and we are healthy too. u dnt wanna have dnt have no one forcing. but, dnt behave like undeucated.
@@flores7190Let me add some statment, let's set India cultures aside, but other Asian countries eat rice for every meal and they're healthy too..... and back to the video context again, we all know India are very big and diverse in terms of culture right, so I think the one in the video telling what she usually had but wasn't a normal norm in the other part of India means she discredit or didn't represent India at all..... It's such a ridiculous statement imo
@@yuunaari she literally said Indians eat rice at night …. She said my my mom say eat rice at night. Rotis eaten during the day which is probably what happens in her house you can’t say that for people from the north because people from the north mostly eat breads Roti and you can’t generalize it she’s coming up with her own theory that only happens in her house . You can literally go back and watch I said what I said you can d ride all you want for someone you don’t even know -10:01\21:00 btw.
what street thali costs 500 bucks!?!? bloody hell..hahahaha there are thalis on the streets in Mumbai that cost 70 bucks! And papad too is usually for texture and digestion...esp in arid areas of the country...weve just taken it on across the country cos its so amazing lol!
It's funny how all these ladies are like "but what are the rules" and the Indian lady is like "what do you mean, there are no rules. Eat with your hands and quit being an idiot" paraphrased lol. Love this video, you handled the questions well. Hopefully these other ladies realize how us Indians do what we want and eat without shame even if it don't look pretty lol 😆
They are not able to eat well because the Indian girl here is always so talkative. plus some of the things that you have described here may not match according to south Indian context eg: eating just pappad
Papad as a starter? We eat papad as a side / Mix it with rice Chilli chicken alone?? she should have tried it with naan / rice Daal with naan??? Daal goes well with rice 😭 Who takes curry like that !!!
U switch with ur hands because people now a days be fancy n papad is nor a starter,paprika is not capsicum, capsicum is bell peppers n paprika is a spice
1:20 In our traditional yogic culture, our sages experienced that using your left hand may result in a shorter life. Therefore, it is restricted to use the left hand as much as possible, as most people have their hearts on the left side. Using the left hand frequently may impact the health of your heart. As an exception, if your heart is on the right side, then avoid using the right hand as much as possible to ensure a longer life. Lots of love from India❤ Stay healthy and live long.
Omg you all. Let me break it down. It's not curry OR dal. It's curry AND dahl. Curry is such a stupid name. It just means a wet gravy dish made of non-veg or veg. But we do have dry dishes also like - chilli chicken is DRY usually. So. One category of vegetable/non-veg side dish mandatory. Dal Then main dish is either rice/roti ODIA Jagannanth daali is also sweet btw. But there are a billion ways to make dal anyways. It's a category.
The comments here from my dear indian fellows just go on to show the real diversity of india. It is just impossible to generalize anything about us. That's the beauty of india, I love it! 😊
This video is so good 😀😀 I really watch many videies like this idk why 😂😂 But this video is perfect Perfectly explanation of culture,😍 eating with hands, food, side dishes 😊
Optic nerve endings in fingers💀 We're doomed. A simplest explanation as to why Indians eat with hands would be because you can't eat most dishes with a spoon, fork or anything. Using fingers is the most convenient way to eat so yeah.
Imo Basmati is overrated. In the state of Tamilnadu (India) alone we had more than 2000 rice varieties. Many people naively believe that rice is white IYKYK. But, that is not entirely true. It undergoes so much polishing, cleaning, and shaping processes in mills before it reaches our plate which is nothing but full of starch and minimal amount of protein and fiber.
Yuki really explained very well. And South India is well famous for their thali because we're that North Indian who loves food and in my family all love Andhra thali (spicy one) they serve different kinds of food over banana leaf and size of the thali it depends because usually thali is for one person like it gave more than 8-10 items including sweets but in a small portion. Usually or say traditionally thali comes from ancient time there are 56 bhog (dishes) of veg-thali in the UP-Bihar area. Yuki mentioned correctly here that each state has their own local food and spices. Like if you eat on the north side your mouth hurts because of chilli but if you eat some parts of the south, your tummy aches because of other spices. Actually papad is common side dishes of all north but when you go towards the South area they serve papad with tomato-onion-cucumber-pepper-lemon over it same as salad (khatta chat-pata type ) and it's very delicious. And we eat rice at noon time. And at night less food that is usually said to be eaten before 08:00 pm because eating less at night helps proper digestion at the right time because foods need to be digested too... Even if you go to the Village side they eat at 7 pm. And in my village people still use sesame oil to cook and ghee for sweets.
both talis are popular enough and south is a combination of moles of spices with chillies and just only spices ,its an amalgamation of complete appetite tbh chillies first came to south india from south america
Hate it when people generalise Indian food as North Indian food. Each state has so many diff food items & we should stop calling our gravy dishes curry 😭 we should educate people instead that there are diff dishes & calling everything a curry doesn’t justify it
My dear, its very nice to see all of you try Indian food and looked your commentary and comments a lot. A small correction. you said food eaten in India in palm leaf. its not palm leaf - it is plantain leaf (Banana Leaf). and the reason to eat in it is when hot food is served on plantain leaf, some enzymes are evolved from the leaf which are good for digestion. One more reason to eat food in plantain leaf is if there is any miscombination of food due to which there is a chance of food poisoning, plantain leaf reveals it sooner so that you can avoid eating the food. any small kind of poison results in the leaf becoming black. you can understand food poisoning may happen because of such food combinations.
Hats off to Yuki to make them understand so well to our Indian culture, cause its not easy to make them understand sometimes but she handle it amazingly well, love from India.

I was told by family and neighbours in my area that you die if you eat rice at night 😂
@@dOVERanalystBro 95%..
Are you sure because for us North Indians it's different
A slight correction - Paprika would be similar to Kashmiri Red Chilli which gives the curries that distict red color but not the spice, and Capsicum is just Bell Peppers.
Also, I wouldn't say papad is a starter, more like an accompaniment with creamy / less spicy dishes like khichdi, or even pulao to add spice and crunch to them.
I really hope some of the not so popular dishes are shown as well, we always only see naan, tikka masala, butter chicken / paneer, etc.
Papad is like starter only even restaurants gives them complementary
Many restaurants give Masala Papad as a starter
Paprika powder is just dry red bell peppers... So no it wont be kashmiri chilli. Yukti is right here to say that in India it's called capsicum.
@@shilpihota6276
Capsicum & Chilli is different 🙄 we have different types of chilli powders in India (according to different regions), paprika is sweeter to taste because it's a MIX of spices.
Like Peri peri is a Mix!
@@TruthAlwaysWinsNope, paprika is dried bell pepper which in India we don't use.
🥉✋😆
...Northeast Indian food is ...so so... different as compared to mainland India .....i wish ... foreigners acknowledge them as well.
Indian food varies according to it states .... (India is so diverse in people as well as their food)
Yeah I agree with you , I come from a tribal group of Jharkhand and we have so many similarities with the tribes of northeast even in food, and yes our food is very different than food from the northern side.
Same with Northern Himalayan pahadis
Yes I agree with you but the world is dominated by western media and for them India is just Delhi and Taj Mahal.
Will you north easterners drop this "mainland India" term? Tf you mean by that lmao. This isnt China. If you wanna use terms like this you can very happily fucking leave lol
The use of bamboo with chicken was so good. Wish I could have it here in Mumbai
Even though Papad or Pappadum is served as a started in Indian restaurants in the West, it is actually a palette clenser. So, when you are moving from one flavor to another and dont want to mix & confuse, take some bites of papad & it will neutralize the palette completely, making it ready for the new taste. That is the reason, Pappadums in South India are bit more alkaline & salty.
PAPAD IS A BURNED, DEAD, JUNC FOOD ITEM !
It's true when mom feeds with hand... always taste better ❤
Yes. Sometimes I didn't liked the food bcs I felt it's not tasty and left it on the plate but when my mom feed me with her hand the same food magically tastes better
Our indians mom has magical hands
Our Desi (Indian) behen (sister) doing us proud in multiple languages. For a few things she was a little bit off, but got the main point of it all across to people from 3 countries, and did it with style and class. Kya baath.
It is nice to see our culture being shown and appreciated by others😊However, as a South Indian I can say that we do not use palm leaves, we use banana leaves to eat food on special occasions.😄Also, we have few etiquette while eating with hand. We always keep our nails short and clean so that we do not ingest dirt and we wash our hands before eating food. I would also like to say that I may lick my fingers when at home in private but never in public 😄I understand it is the easiest way to clean our fingers but traditionally we use the thumb to remove food from our fingers and use index finger to remove food from the thumb and put it back in our plate and eat it. 😀I now feel old explaining these stuff, I was mostly taught these etiquette in primary school😂 but I say kids these days don't remember their etiquette and probably need a refresher🤭
ZABARDUST BRO. FROM JALANDHAR CITY-144008.
You explained it so well.
Banana tree is a type of palm, so not technically wrong there
@@Kaybye555 I do not think a Banana plant is considered a type of palm tree or even a tree for that matter. However, Coconut trees are considered a type of palm tree though they are very different.😀
Ikr. Palm leaves was shocking to me as an EAST Indian. In Odisha. We also use banana leaves
Honestly She explained it really well [not all of them but most of them] hat's off to her 10:39 also depends state to state , here roti is mostly consumed at morning and night, and day time is rice time
Exactly
Same
As a Bengali I agree with so much. These days most of us eat rice usually one time in a day, mostly at lunch.
@@only_treats_no_tricksya true I m uttrakhandi so we need a one time in a day bcz without rice we not sleep well 😂😂 but rajsthani they do not like eat rice I don't know why.
@@yashika_rawat__ absolutely agree with you about the sleeping part. Technically rice makes your body cooler too. During summer it's a must for us but during winter we don't eat rice at dinner.
I have read somewhere that ' A person in abroad is an ambassador of his native country. ' Yukta you have proved it and you are fulfilling your responsibility very well. Because foreigners think eating with hands is somewhat dirty but you described very that it related to Chakras and digestion. Very well explained.
But she was kind of wrong about many things....but I assume she grew up in a fairly rich household from her description.
ZABARDUST BRO.
@@razee7869 it’s lovely when people just assume your whole background and your parents hard work goes into dust. I love it 🥰
@@yuktatyagiofficial ?there is nothing wrong with being from a rich household though. Why i said that is because the experience of someone from rich household is fairly different from the majority of Indians. I said that when u mentioned thali is like 500-1000rs and also hearing papad being a starter was first for me because we always had it as complementary for rice dishes here in South atleast. Also the banana leaf part , capsicum etc. So I assumed u were raised in a upper class house that's why u made some mistakes.
But now that I saw your other comment i understand u explained everything well and the video was very much edited from hours of shooting. And ya i understand your pov...you must have been excited to shoot this video and seeing many comments must have put you down. Since our country is filled with billion+ people there will always be such problems....u can see when u see any videos like these , there's always comments saying otherwise 😅. So don't get down by these comments. At the end of the day there are many many people who enjoy watching you in all these videos and representing india.
@razee7869 I know there's nothing wrong but people usually use it as a hate comment....and the thali I said that it's expensive if you go to a high end restaurant.
Indian food is so diverse in nature,every state has its uniqueness in food ,taste and culture. I love my India,it's land of diversity.
Thank you for having me as always ❤
The way I sometimes don’t even wanna appear on these shows cause at the end of the day whatever explanation is given is not good for India’s population. The only mistake I acknowledge I’ve made in this video is the confusion with the banana leaf and palm leaf. Other than that the optic nerves 😂😂😂 sorry, i wasnt having it that day. I meant nerve endings. Try being multilingual and then thinking for all you haters out there.
Secondly all of you out there saying papad is complementary, does your mom serve you papad at home with lunch or dinner ? Or have we now normalized eating papad as a starter because it’s light on the stomach
Next people saying it’s weird to have dal with naan or it’s weird to have this with that clearly do not realize India is diverse and that we all come from different families and different backgrounds meaning our eating practices will be different too.
Honestly by the day I am getting sick of y’all in the comments cause please come here and do it instead of me if you think you can mention every state, every culture, every religion better. I could honestly care less. Like genuinely come and do it. I am really emotionally exhausted.
This video was shot for around 2 to 2 and a half hours. A lot of what I said didn’t make it to the video. I have mentioned we eat daal with rice, I have mentioned that yogurt can be consumed with chicken at most, I have mentioned so many things for that day that we filmed for 6 hours. I have mentioned how the cheapest thaali is around 30 inr and the price can increase anyhow based on whether it’s a 5 star restaurant or not. no matter what I do, no matter what I film, no matter what I say, it’s never enough.
I am sick of Indians being against Indians. There’s no right way of doing things in a culturally diverse country of 1.5 billion people. I genuinely don’t think I will appear for a long time because I am upset, sick and emotionally affected by all of you in the comments. It’s easy to type it out but obviously since none of you know how it is behind the scenes you will keep running your mouths cause that’s what you all know to do.
I love how we celebrate diversity but the moment it’s showcased or explained everybody has a problem and want their way to be correct. I’m ashamed of all of youq
Honestly Yukta you have always showcased the Indian culture with such grace. Much respect from Australia
You are awesome. Just want to point out that paprika is chilli powder, not capsicum. Capsicum are called Bell Pepper in the US.
@@COOLSABYA2 haha yeah I got confused about that too 🥹, livin in a foreign country and speaking multiple languages kinda disorients you and your vocabulary 😫😫💗
@@yuktatyagiofficial No worries, I absolutely understand ! ❤
@@COOLSABYA2 thank you
1. Eating with hand is better way to eat.
2. Sensing the food in 3 ways seeing, smelling, touching. 3 is better than 2.
3. In this show itself I seen many used to smell food before eat to better know the food, same goes for touch with hand.
There's also being able to have control over the amount of food, cuz using hands allows you to have better control on the amount compared to a spoon. Plus, the temperature, you won't accidentally burn your tongue if you use your hands, since you'll feel how hot it is before you get it anywhere close to your mouth.
all of the dishes are from punjabi cuisine but popularly attached to indian cuisine abroad . and every state leave that every city has a different cuisine or flavour palate and dishes . I hope some day they too come to the lime light like this .
Because in early Times when globalisation happened Punjabis went first around the globe so their food was seen as food from India
In North Eastern, Eastern and Southern parts of India, usually we don't eat roti. We eat rice in both lunch and dinner . People who are diabetic, they usually consume roti....And food is way cheaper in the Eastern part of India .
Yukti didi..as a Bengali from Eastern India, we usually use banana leaves and not palm leaves. I don't think we can eat on palm leaves lol. In Bengal we also add Yoghurt to chicken and mutton. The taste is just exquisite and so much better
😂😂yeah... I wanted to comment about the Palm leave thing
north indian she is i guess
@@aniruddhasajja9561I thought she's from Mumbai?
@@kdjoshi726She is Marathi but from Delhi.
Palm leaves are used in Bihar, in wedding or in bhoj when someone passes away. Instead of using plastic or paper plate we use palm leaves
Learning about new cultures that’s an awesome mindset . Congrats ladies u rock.🤟🤟
Im from Bengal part of india and we eat rice at lunch and roti at dinner lmao so its exactly opposite. Also here fish curries are made more often than meat curries and yes of course daal and vegetable curry is a daily staple. So in every day at lunch / dinner its usually rice/roti with some dish of daal and a vegetable curry and once a week all that with a fish curry. Different variations of curries using different vegetables and spices of course. Most of the families here (in bengal) don't eat non vegetarian food everyone so like 4-5 days a week vegetarian and 2-3 days any fish/meat /eggs. Of course some families eat fish curries every day but most families have more vegetarian based diets.
Similarly in Bihar we eat rice during lunch and roti in dinner.
For those of us old enough to remember, roti really started in the very bad days of the middle and late 60s, when we depended on imported wheat, due to the tremendous food shortages; for my generation, PL480 is engraved in our hearts and minds. It was then that Bengalis were forced to eat rotis, those being typical of food habits further up the Ganges Valley. Luchi and Dal Puri were always part of the cuisine, but obviously as special treats (OK, luchi mangsho being a staple for celebrating something).
The fish in our cuisine kept us safely grounded in rice; imagine fish with roti! Yuck.
Most of the south indians eat rice at lunch and other like roti or any other foods like dosa, idli etc. at night
In Indian cuisine, it is considered important to never leave food on one's thali. The culture values not wasting food and encourages the consumption of leftovers by modifying them into new dishes.
The caveat to that tradition is that most of us are overweight these days 🤷♂😅
I appreciate how Yuki explanied Indian food and culture SO WELL.
Really proud of her.
People in the south eat on a banana leaf, not palm leaf.
Kerala - banana leaf
TN, AP - palm leaf
@@mlg1279 im from ap and i can say we eat more on banana leaf and we use different kinds of leaves to make plates and use them after dried but palm is something ive never seen , we use palm leaves as roofs tho in villages or for farm huts
@@SL33py45H I didn't see banana leaf being used in AP - when I lived there.
In temple functions and other social gatherings, they used something called vistaraaku - made of leaves.
@@mlg1279 what the hell ypu smoking, as a tamil I have never did or seen anyone eat on palm leaves. Not now and never historically.
Can you even eat in palm leaves?? I checked online to make sure indian palm leave and it is way too seperate for it to be used as plates lmao
Here in HP, we use pattal which could be made from sal or banyan or other similar tree leaves.
This is how you should explain your native dishes..She neither explained a little nor a lot...loved that❤
I love how they are all very respectful of the food and the way of eating. After, she showed them, they got straight to business.
It’s a lovely video.
Her explanation is so good. I am happy that she told them about roti that many don't know in foreign countries!!!! We survive due to rotizzz and die due to Naans( if eaten regularly). Thanks!!!!
So, the simple reason Indians 🇮🇳 eat with hands is BECAUSE OF PRACTICALITY. You will never see Italians eating pizza with a knife and fork or Mexicans eating tortilla with a spoon. For north Indians, our STAPLE FOOD is chapati, you have to tear it with hands and then fold things inside it. You smush veggies/meat inside it. Folding action can't be done without using hands. This is one of the most simple reasons. Once you have used your hands for it and there's already food in your hands...might as well eat rice with hands too. That's how we see it. Its kind of the same with South Indian food like dosa.
8:07 Another pointer about naan - its difficult compared to roti for making in small batches but becomes much easier and faster to prepare in bigger batches. So you may find some Indian restaurant that have a lot of customers avoid having tava roti in their menu and keep naan.
It becomes more economical in time as well as cost.
Also the common tandoors used in restaurants (the metal barrel) has a huge startup time and cool down time.
WAH, KAYA BAAT HAI JI !!!
man the Indian women keeps eating and enjoying the food more than listening to others, it seems like her mind was on the food the whole time.......seemed like she didn't have the authentic food from India for long time until this program......it was funny
Two Corrections, as she said usually indians have rice at night it is a wrong statement coz India doesn't mean only North India. North East Indians eat Rice on every single meal it is an only option for north easterns, though we have roti here but its not the first choice. Roti arrived to this part of the country only after independence, and not on palm leaf, it's on banana leaf or banana stem.
Well she said several things wrong, like curd and meat, palm leaves instead of banana leaves, papad always as starter and lot more ... She mostly have semi North Indian perspect.
Same in south India , roti maximum like once a week other wise its rice based dishes daily
In North India too, we eat rice/Roti for Lunch, Maybe that's in her family.
Earlier I thought that eating with my hands was awkward, but then one day I ate with my hands and I liked it.
SPOON SE KHANA SAFE HAI.....NAKHOON KE ANDAR BACTIRIA, VIRUS REHTE HAIN !!!
Excellent job by Yukta to showcase Indian culture as well as the science behind it. 👏🏼
I think she got confused between Palm Leaves and Banana Leaves. We in South India use Banana and Vistaraku leaves (Patravali / Bauhinia varigata) for eating food and Palm Leaves to weave baskets, thatch roofs, inscribe manuscripts etc.. eating on palm leaves, unless woven, might be a little difficult.
Perhaps the habit of occasionally eating on Shaal leaves may have caused some confusion.
Not a big deal, we don't have to pick on her.
@@indrajitgupta3280, be assured, no one is picking on Yuki! She’s adorable and also human so it’s absolutely okay to err. I hope you realise that many people( like yourself) read comments so clarifying something is adding to someone’s knowledge bank. Now, tone is something you assign to text while reading it and I wouldn’t be wrong in saying that’s a perception problem not an expression problem.
I liked the way you explained Indian food customs to these women. 👍
Any South Indian should make them eat breakfast lunch and dinner, in North side they eat same and tastes same but in south side it's really yummy and different varieties for breakfast dosa or idly with sambar chatney, idiyappam with kadala curry, appam with coconut milk mix with some sugar or jaggery powder or with vadacurry and then for lunch veg version appalam, variety rice like tomato rice, coconut rice, lemon rice , mint rice etc...., and in non veg version chicken or mutton biryani, rice sambar fish curry , chicken curry, rasam, prawn curry and last for dinner parotta or chappathi with chicken curry or mutton curry or beef curry and veg version venpongal sambar, poori potato curry,
Yoghurt is very much compatible with every kind of meat. Infact it is used for marination in both chicken and mutton in various Indian dishes. Biryani, curry i guess every or almost every form and raita is a welcome whether it is vegetable raita or boondi raita or mint raita. And even for fish- it is said we can have yoghurt after fish but never milk. I am not sure about sea food though.

14:58 Palm leaf❌
Banana leaf✅
You explain so beautifully Yuki, I know in state wises it's different concept but it's really good explanation. I am from Kolkata, we eat pappad at the end with so many chutney specially plastic chutney made with papaya, date, raisins etc which is translucent , sometimes with tomato chutney. Then we eat sweets or payesh which is made of rice, milk and raisins. And I don't know clearly know of other sates but our food started with at household where started with bitter foods like gourd smash or fried/leafy vegetables /neem with potato fried ... then main course with some light soup types like lentos(with cucumber or papaya ...) or fish curry or prawn curry... then in weekends or end of the week meat (chicken or mutton , I eat only chicken) ; then the foods or deserts which I told first.🥰🥰
You can share with your household foods style . Love you all. ❤❤❤❤
Wrote my comment before I saw this very complete round-up. Thanks.
Shukto, dalna, fish, mutton, chutney with papor, payesh or mishti doi and sweet is the typical full line-up, with cuts and additions according to the hostess' decisions.
I like the personality of this Korean and Chinese guests. Pls invite them more often.
In Tamil Nadu, rice is a daily afternoon thing. No rice = no lunch feels. + we avoid eating rice at night (idk for what reason, but yeah)
It's not abt South, in north too people eat a lot of rice except very few areas
Idly, dosa, paniaram all made up of rice which tamilians use to have at night and morning. In that way we tamilians eat in all times of the day
Optic nerve endings…. lol WhatsApp gyan is now global
How is everyone so beautiful and gorgeous. this is one of my favorite series now. the 6 Asians try each others food thingy
Yuki's hairstyle,makeup and outfit is on point.Kudos to her stylist and makeup artist.
Just a correction it’s just a personal preference if people like to break their breads/naans with one hand or two. I think people normally use two hands instead of one especially for thick breads like naan.
indian girl just look ravishingly beautiful the way she has done her makeup and her skin tone....
Amazing explanation of Indian thali food...I am impressed really....💙💙🇮🇳🇮🇳💙💙
I really loved how educated Yuki is about her roots.. but it is to be noted that India is still a vast country with different mindset.. hence, different preferences about how to eat papad, or when to eat rice, etc.
Lastly, curd with chicken is okay, but not with red meat and fish especially (it will cause acidity).
So as northeast Indian here. Eating roti is like a once in a month event for us we are mostly three time rice a day person and also those north indian curries are not meant for rice they are way too sweet.
Our northeast indian are mostly white rice or sticky rice people and our food culture is similar to Burma or Thailand or Bangladesh.
Edit: we also have black, red, brown and many different rice with beautiful aroma.
Abe chutiye yha baat india ki hai na ki northeast ki😡😡😡😡
We Northern Himalayans (Himachal, uttrakhand etc) used to eat a lot of himalyan red rice which is kind of disappearing now because it's expensive and not readily available compared to white rice. We use less spices in our traditional dishes and use things like sesame, perilla frutescens seeds etc. Our food culture is similar to Nepal,Tibet and Bhutan.
Even South Indians eat mostly rice
@aalu5638so you mean to say is north defines the entire India 😂😂bro grow up she said Indians eat roti not every Indians eat roti most Indians prefer rice exept the North Indians
My respect increase for yuki she explained about left handed too and said that doesn't mean their left hand isn't clean.
I am Indian and it's opposite to me like what you do with right I do with left and vice versa. But some people interrupt me and say don't eat with left hand. How I explain to them it's not dirty!😩
Actually we do not pick up chicken curry with hand and put on rice if it's in a bowl....we use spoon to place it in the plate and then mix it with rice and eat....why did she put her hand in the bowl to pic up the curry 😂😂😂
We do do that. Ecen in cities and rural sides. Maybe not where you are from
@@tyshadonyxs2008 chicken piece is ok ...but curry...dont we scoop curry with a spoon to place it over the rice or just pour curry on rice ....Yeah maybe , coz India is a huge country...we don't do the way she did ...u might do...that's cool.....
@@rach0612 where we are from we either overturn the entire small bowl of dal on rice and mix with hand, or scoop the dal with hand to mix however much we want. In case of sabji, we just scoop with hand. We also use spoons if we don't want too much of a mess
@@tyshadonyxs2008Those are mostly dry sabji, no? You pick up dry side dishes with your hands, but wet ones (like curry, etc) you tilt your bowl or use a spoon, i don't think hands are used for the wet side dishes unless you're picking out a piece from the curry?
Edit: oh nvm, you do that with dal, interesting
@@KalafinaBTS spoons were never used enough with our older generations which lived together and had too many children per couple. Spoons were usually in this case not used much I guess as I have always seen the elders use hands for every single thing. They will also wash hands in the dish itself at the end while sitting down. Nowadays though u see more cutlery being used everywhere. Not forks though
*Very Aptly Explained by Yuki .. Its Really Hard Sometimes To Explain Foreign People About Our Eating Habits And Diet Culture* .. 💯
Y'all should try the Indian street foods too!!
scientific reson behind hand eating is that you can feel the food how hot it is and the signal to brain improve digession
₹500 is very expensive for a thali. Generally the cheapest thalis you will get will around ₹100-200 max with unlimited rice
I love that they eat in a traditional way 🥹😍❤️🙏
We eat with hand to show respect to food godess(anna-purna devi)
If you are not touching your food it means you are disrespectful to her.
Most convincing reason for eating with the hand not hands!
seriously as a indian we feel eating with hands is most comfortable way there must be connection between food and us els we will feel empty
Makes me wanna go get a roti or naan and eat with chicken. 😋
The reason hands are used is because hands help you understand the temperature of food and you don't end up burning your tongue. The fingers also help you feel the things, food is an experience for different senses so touch also helps you enjoy the food more just like smelling and looking at it. Another scientific benefit of using hands is we've a lotta probiotic bacteria on our hand, good bacteria that is which helps you have a good gut health. Hands also help you to not take huge portions tho nowadays people still find ways to but originally it limited people's portions that they eat in one go so that helped towards a healthy lifestyle. Obviously you wash your hands properly before having food so ain't exactly unbothered as people think it is.
How do you guys eat Pizza , burger , french fries and prawns?
In India culture eating time is generally was breakfast at 8 , lunch at 11, snack at 3 , dinner before 7 nomore eating after sunset,if you feel hungry than having a glass of milk before bed at 10 pm , getting up early before sunrise this was a routine for health life, home cook food
Five fingers represents five elements of nature (air, water, fire etc) n only one hand is used to eat not both. Its an art comes with practice not both its messy.the back of your fingers should be clean not how korean girl is dipping, now that also comes with practice.
Her cheap thali is so expensive. South indians dont eat eat long rice everyday. Its used for making, Biriyanis and ghee rice. We use normal size rices usually.
The most perfect explanation of Indian food done by her on the internet....lots of love❤❤❤❤
Indian food is not about NAAN and Butter chicken it is mainly on the northern part of India. Don't say all Indians eat rotti and naan. south Indian food is completely different from north also north east food. So pls don't address it like the main food in India
She is from north
I really love seeing Yuki in Indian culture videos. She explains I so well.
Why do you guys speak 0:28 like this. I can't hear what you are saying even if my phone is in 100%volume
India is a diverse country and there is much more diversity in our food culture. Each state has their own cuisine. What world generally know is the mainland India food. I think foreigners should be equally introduced to North east India food( less oily, less masala, healthy)
Ha ha ha ha ha, try telling a Kannadiga that. There the cuisine changes every hundred kilometres or so, and I'm pretty sure that is true of other places as well (in Bengal, we tend to stick to a settled routine). Andhra and Telangana also have wide variations in their food and cuisine ever so often.
12:49 yes😂😂
Rice Thali in LUNCH (Day time) is staple
From a rice based country we've slowly moved to roti in the NIGHT.
NOT vice versa. Labour intensive jobs do eat rice twice. But middle class? No. Very rare.
Only if there's biriyani it's possible to feed someone rice at night.
I don't think people usually pick curry with hand, it's very inconvenient, we usually eat rice at the end and just empty up the curry bowl in the rice and then just mix it with your finger tips that way your fingers stay clean then just make mini rice mountains according to the size you want to put in your mouth. Also no one stresses so much on eating with hand, it's not mandatory.
In a word, brilliant and well-balanced presentation, and not to worry about us picky people who insist on pointing out every tiny variation that keeps us different from others.
Sorry but the Indian came up with reasoning which are not accurate no body says eat rice at night and you do have yoghurt in meats in some northern dishes. Not everyone eat yoghurt with rice in India it’s not something general people do maybe in the south
in eastern part we do eat rice at night …even in south people eat rice more than roti..yes we also have yoghurt with rice but some people don't do as they have there reasoning and yukti saying that that's not incorrect, we do eat rice with yoghurt maybe ur region doesn't but india is vast and mostly all have there own preference. so u cant say she is wrong she have her own reasoning.
@@99999573 she’s wrong because that doesn’t apply to northern people because no body says eat rice at night that’s the worst thing you can do to your body is to have carbs allot of Indians are educated and health conscious and it’s really depends on people rather than a generalize statement
@@flores7190 so u saying uneducated people are not health conscious, or taking rice at night make u unhealthy, dude that complete north mentality. we eat rice and we are healthy too. u dnt wanna have dnt have no one forcing. but, dnt behave like undeucated.
@@flores7190Let me add some statment, let's set India cultures aside, but other Asian countries eat rice for every meal and they're healthy too..... and back to the video context again, we all know India are very big and diverse in terms of culture right, so I think the one in the video telling what she usually had but wasn't a normal norm in the other part of India means she discredit or didn't represent India at all..... It's such a ridiculous statement imo
@@yuunaari she literally said Indians eat rice at night …. She said my my mom say eat rice at night. Rotis eaten during the day which is probably what happens in her house you can’t say that for people from the north because people from the north mostly eat breads Roti and you can’t generalize it she’s coming up with her own theory that only happens in her house . You can literally go back and watch I said what I said you can d ride all you want for someone you don’t even know -10:01\21:00 btw.
This Indian girl is perfect Indian representation
what street thali costs 500 bucks!?!? bloody hell..hahahaha there are thalis on the streets in Mumbai that cost 70 bucks! And papad too is usually for texture and digestion...esp in arid areas of the country...weve just taken it on across the country cos its so amazing lol!
Bucks is used for dollar not rupees
If u say 500 bucks it means 500 dollars not 500 rupees
It's good to see they tried with hand and liking with whole heartedly
The Indian women is over dramatic bruh she's over exaggerating simple stuff she's over exaggerating everything
She is a real Queen ! 😍😍😍
It's funny how all these ladies are like "but what are the rules" and the Indian lady is like "what do you mean, there are no rules. Eat with your hands and quit being an idiot" paraphrased lol. Love this video, you handled the questions well. Hopefully these other ladies realize how us Indians do what we want and eat without shame even if it don't look pretty lol 😆
They are not able to eat well because the Indian girl here is always so talkative. plus some of the things that you have described here may not match according to south Indian context eg: eating just pappad
You didn't ask them to try eating all the things (except dal, others with naan)
Papad as a starter? We eat papad as a side / Mix it with rice
Chilli chicken alone?? she should have tried it with naan / rice
Daal with naan??? Daal goes well with rice 😭
Who takes curry like that !!!
Bro realx I eat papad both ways , with food by mixing it nd like that too

U switch with ur hands because people now a days be fancy n papad is nor a starter,paprika is not capsicum, capsicum is bell peppers n paprika is a spice
1:20 In our traditional yogic culture, our sages experienced that using your left hand may result in a shorter life. Therefore, it is restricted to use the left hand as much as possible, as most people have their hearts on the left side. Using the left hand frequently may impact the health of your heart. As an exception, if your heart is on the right side, then avoid using the right hand as much as possible to ensure a longer life.
Lots of love from India❤
Stay healthy and live long.
Omg you all. Let me break it down. It's not curry OR dal. It's curry AND dahl.
Curry is such a stupid name.
It just means a wet gravy dish made of non-veg or veg.
But we do have dry dishes also like - chilli chicken is DRY usually.
So. One category of vegetable/non-veg side dish mandatory.
Dal
Then main dish is either rice/roti
ODIA Jagannanth daali is also sweet btw. But there are a billion ways to make dal anyways. It's a category.
The comments here from my dear indian fellows just go on to show the real diversity of india. It is just impossible to generalize anything about us. That's the beauty of india, I love it! 😊
Yuki is making them understand in well mannered way and details
Korean only have this girl to show as a indian😂 fun fact she didn't even about authentic ways of Indian food.
This video is so good 😀😀
I really watch many videies like this idk why 😂😂
But this video is perfect
Perfectly explanation of culture,😍 eating with hands, food, side dishes 😊
Rare occasion of watching such a soft spoken US girl and the way she is paying attention 😌.
Just discovered this channel! Love the diversity so much! Very educational and entertaining!
Optic nerve endings in fingers💀 We're doomed. A simplest explanation as to why Indians eat with hands would be because you can't eat most dishes with a spoon, fork or anything. Using fingers is the most convenient way to eat so yeah.
I m so amazed that between all four of them her being bron she is literally like glowinngg idk is it because of white background or what
Indian food is fresh, delicious healthy.we use fully fresh materials.we have every ingredient
Imo Basmati is overrated. In the state of Tamilnadu (India) alone we had more than 2000 rice varieties. Many people naively believe that rice is white IYKYK. But, that is not entirely true. It undergoes so much polishing, cleaning, and shaping processes in mills before it reaches our plate which is nothing but full of starch and minimal amount of protein and fiber.
Yuki really explained very well. And South India is well famous for their thali because we're that North Indian who loves food and in my family all love Andhra thali (spicy one) they serve different kinds of food over banana leaf and size of the thali it depends because usually thali is for one person like it gave more than 8-10 items including sweets but in a small portion. Usually or say traditionally thali comes from ancient time there are 56 bhog (dishes) of veg-thali in the UP-Bihar area. Yuki mentioned correctly here that each state has their own local food and spices. Like if you eat on the north side your mouth hurts because of chilli but if you eat some parts of the south, your tummy aches because of other spices.
Actually papad is common side dishes of all north but when you go towards the South area they serve papad with tomato-onion-cucumber-pepper-lemon over it same as salad (khatta chat-pata type ) and it's very delicious.
And we eat rice at noon time. And at night less food that is usually said to be eaten before 08:00 pm because eating less at night helps proper digestion at the right time because foods need to be digested too... Even if you go to the Village side they eat at 7 pm. And in my village people still use sesame oil to cook and ghee for sweets.
both talis are popular enough and south is a combination of moles of spices with chillies and just only spices ,its an amalgamation of complete appetite tbh chillies first came to south india from south america
YUMMY COMMENTS !!!
@@aniruddhasajja9561ZABARDUST BRO.
Hate it when people generalise Indian food as North Indian food. Each state has so many diff food items & we should stop calling our gravy dishes curry 😭 we should educate people instead that there are diff dishes & calling everything a curry doesn’t justify it
Do you also hate it when a South Indian is asked where are you from? They usually reply I am south indian not Indian?? 😒
Fantastic video. Nice description and superb reactions!
I lived in many places far from home but no one can beat indian food ❤
Once u ll taste down south especially Andhrapradesh u will get know how spicy Indian dishes are 😂
Namaste Ji, please visit once India.
I'm 100% agree.l, eating from my mom hand became a simple meal more tasty 😋
My dear, its very nice to see all of you try Indian food and looked your commentary and comments a lot. A small correction. you said food eaten in India in palm leaf. its not palm leaf - it is plantain leaf (Banana Leaf). and the reason to eat in it is when hot food is served on plantain leaf, some enzymes are evolved from the leaf which are good for digestion. One more reason to eat food in plantain leaf is if there is any miscombination of food due to which there is a chance of food poisoning, plantain leaf reveals it sooner so that you can avoid eating the food. any small kind of poison results in the leaf becoming black. you can understand food poisoning may happen because of such food combinations.
