He hit the nail on its head when he said - "When some one says its food appropriation, its bullying". Food is there to be cooked, eaten and appreciated by everyone. If some one has issue with it, it's that person's problem.
Of course, Keith, one would love to see the full interview. Indian food is so diverse that it would take a lifetime to sincerely acknowledge the culinary aspect of it . This is so well known that it sounds more like a cliche. | Would love to see you visit different regions of India and take back some parts of the Indian experience with you. All the best for your endeavors.
That is absolutely the goal! I am trying to build this page to help support the cost of that which as you know is VERY high! I want to bring the viewers into the world beyond butter chicken.
What a privilege it has been to listen to kurush, through your lens and I'm really really moved by your Genuine love for India, Indians and Indian food... You can't fake this kind of stuff.. And it's also truly been a privilege watching and listening to you too Keith.. More Power to you, to bring out the best stories and may you continue to prosper, DESPITE your modesty and humbleness.
I WANT MORE!!!I want to see the interviews!! My dream is to visit Kerala! I want the beaches, the backwaters, tea plantations, mountains, elephants, tigers, monkeys, and everything in between! But most of all, I want the people, the culture, and the food! I am finding so much inspiration in your videos! I want to just drink it all in like you do! Watching you experience India makes me so happy!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Indians are the most hospitable people. I thought that was a norm everywhere. But now that I am out of the country for many years, this is not the same case with other country folks. I only wish people return this and be good to others as well and learn this fact from India. Thank you for appreciating the love showered on you by this gracious host.
Keith, this is just one region of Maharashtra state you explored. There dozens of regions you have to explore like Khandesh, Marathwada, Vidharbh where you will find another treasure of different regional specialities of spice blends of masalas and dishes. I am eager to see your further journey to other parts of Maharashtra. I would be happy to welcome you and take you on the trip of Khandeshi food and Khandeshi masalas.
@@chefKeithSarasinu explore Parsi dish which are not local as it has persian roots.. Even in Mumbai you will find thousands of local dish mainly non vegetarian perticularly sea food.. If u can try some local SKP vadval, Koli agri dish
I have been following Keith since his days at Boston and making Aatma and his journey and coping with loss of mom. Now he is into journey of finding and learning about Food🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. Can’t wait what’s ahead for him and all the best.
Nostalgia!!! I love this upload because it takes me back to my childhood days .I can almost imagine the decadent bungalows in Lonavala, smell the rain in the soil and imagine the greenery and mountains around. Is the Indian gentleman's name Kurush? If so, I am glad he kept the original Persian name rather than Cyrus.Nice man.
For Biryani -- authentic - I cook it in 'lagan' which is Copper degchi -- pot in which heat is distributed and maintained exclusively. Every 2 years I travel with huge copper pots from the US to Mumbai to have them tinned at the Pydhonie Copper Bazaar. The reason being, it is ten times cheaper in Mumbai to get them tinned.
Great ..Video ....keep them coming Keith ...i am glad you could see the diversity of Food of India ...by coming here in PERSON !! May you have a wonderful stay in India !
Thank you @keithsarasin!! Grateful for your interest and love for our country and cultures! This video was just Wow!! So eagerly awaiting the knowledge Dr @Kurushdalal has in the full interview!
Looking forward to an in-depth cultural plunge into every region now!! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease cover my favorites= Gujrati and ALL South Indian States as well!! 💯💯
Would love to see you visit some wedding places to see how they make those delicious meals in bulk... Dont miss on that that's an unique experience. Cooking in weddings, devotional places are worlds apart even by standards of indian cuisine. Everything changes from the method to ingredients to techniques.. So do try it out if you get the opportunity
Very well made vdo. Chef, the way you devour and enjoy Indian food is amazing. I love how passionate and genuine you are in relaying the stories. Yes, I see what a treasure trove of wealth Kurush is, he knows his stuff! Would love to see the full vdo, please.
this is literally on the level of Nat Geo documnetaries now. Apart from focus issues in the video, everything was absoultely perfect!! you should have millions of subs brother. Great content!!
Would love to check out the whole interview with him. You mentioned there were 2 interviews, right? Yea, both the interviews. I love the way he talks & the history he knows & grew up with. Fascinating stuff. Wish I could have been there.
Beautifully presentation of terminology of the distinguished cuisines. kurush took the credit of being real host. Not to mention kieth is a very diligent and a totally devoted to indian cuisine.
Home stay with delicious & tempting food...no words fr this family serve frm hearts ❤I hope njoy this family stay lots of abt food 👍..really u both atithi deo bhav(guest is god)🙏 incredible India 🇮🇳
Your show is like learning for me. Stories , experiences, food , travel so much going on. Thanks for sharing video and thanks to Dalal sir for hosting you.
Hi Keith, Parsees are the milk in our sugar. They are the most lovable and sweetest community in India. They escaped religious persecution in their homeland and landed in India. We welcomed them and they have been nothing but sugar in milk. Their cuisine is really nice. You should try `Patrani Macchi` - fish marinated and steamed in leaves before you leave India
appropriation never bothers me.. it's just food..it belongs to everyone and they should be allowed to enjoy it however they like and call it whatever they like. Samosa, Singhada, Samusa, Sambusa.. it's all good.
Truly Amazing explanation and in India every grandmother is like 70-80 years old and is hiding more than 200 dishes in his mind. That's really just forgetting people because of fast food generation.
I like this series... Most of foreigners know only butter chicken and lil bit of few dishes in India... Indian culinary goes way beyond that... In every few hundred kms the taste changes, even the process of making same dishes also chsnges... A lot to be unveiled
2 years understand India it's amazing place of world different religions different languages different foods different fastival different traditions clothes it's amazing place of world
Kourush, is the original Persian name (as it was pronounced) of Cyrus, as in Cyrus the great. That pre Islamic Persian culture survives in India, and has all but been smothered in its homeland. No doubt it is also reflected in the food. But this household is a classic amalgam of what is India really in terms of food. An amalgam in the most wonderful way imaginable. Bengali and Parsi are the two most delightful food cultures of India. As a true blood Bengali whose partner is from the North East I can vouch for that amalgamation of wonders. And here we have a Parsi man and a Bengali woman in the house. I can smell the food from the video. Please do upload the full video of the interview. Will look forward to it.
@@chefKeithSarasin Wanna see you check out each region (if you don't have time, each major region), and show the cuisine. Like North, vs NE vs, S, NW. The list of things you needs to try is endless, but yah... i'm learning as well, through you.
@@chefKeithSarasin You need to try Salli Boti which is mutton meat with fried potato slivers. You can get it in Mumbai in Cafe Brittania or Jimmy Boy restaurant. And if you end up going to Cafe Britannia then you need to have the Berry Pualo also and as a dessert ask for Lagan Nu Custard.
Hey chef since you are in mumbai ( i hope you are still in mumbai) you should go for a dining experience in the bohri kitchen.. its hosted by Munaf Kapadia... (remember the name because there are many counterfeits).. he and his mom do the whole thing where you will learn about the food+culture+history... They were active before covid.. i dont know if they still hosting the bohri kitchen or not.. bur its worth a try... again there are many copy cats.
Chef Keith the Parsis are the community from modern day Iran (then called Persia) they are Zoorastians a community originally inhabitants of Iran but due to Islamic invasion came to India..and have stayed for hundreds of years assimilating in Indian community.
@@chefKeithSarasin The community even though tiny has made a huge impact on India due to their culinary, hard work and their nature..Lovely people (blessed to have known few from the community). Kurush Sir is an inspiration and having had the pleasure to meet him in person..treasure trove of information he has..You are luck Chef Keith to meet such a legend in the Indian food industry.
I wish you could visit Northeast India, my place. The food culture is totally different from the mainland. My India is so diverse in all aspects. I love North Indian cuisine the most. I miss those small dhabas run by Muslims in Old Delhi. Just the thought of slow cooked beefs in copper pots on a charcoal stove makes my mouth water. During my college days in Delhi you still could find beef dishes in small localities. Buffaloes will never match the taste of those. 😢
Hey Try aagri Koli food ,that has entire different level ,where burnt coconut flafer makes the lamb meat and chicken gives different blend ,the aagri and kolis Are actual lacalites of Mumbai they prepare meat masala of their own style the blend aroma of masala literally penetrate into head ,compare to other this is entirely a different.This is Greg From Navi Mumbai, Appreciate and Thank the way you are giving so much respect to Our India food Thanks chef .
@chefKeithSarasin If you ever want to come to Toronto and want me to be your host, then please give me an opportunity. It might not be the same as India but can assure you, you won't miss India.
I cook atleast 2 times a month -- patrani macchi - Pompfret fish and Chicken Farcha in New Jersey. We get plaintain leaves and fish from the Asian Store. Stop by in New Jersey and you will drool.
Thank you Keith
Thank YOU. Miss you guys so much

Would love to see the entire interview, if it is not out already. Loved your videos. :)
