    As an Indian I really applaud how you handled making your own paneer like a PRO, its an expensive and painstaking process so I think majority of Indians just buy ready made paneer.

    when you said “we improvise” i think you indirectly understood the true essence of Indian cooking! We improvise too, cooking is a creative space every time! If we miss an ingredient we try to make things work with what we have already! Instead of improvise we call it “jugaad” though😂

    Most Indian restaurants in the States serve northern Indian foods like Palak Paneer and Aloo Gobi. Butter Chicken was a made-up recipe that became popular because of the restaurants. And we have these three dishes in almost all Indian restaurants up and down the East Coast of the States.
    OMG. You cooked everything from scratch like my mom. Kudos to you. I've never made paneer and didn't know it was so easy. This summer, I started making my own roti, which you called naan and I impressed myself with how easy it was and how skilled I became after only a handful of times. Last summer I learned how to make the Hyderabadi Indian dessert called khalakhan, which was similar process to the paneer. It was so easy and tasted like the desserts by the sweetshop that I was totally elated about. I'll send you my family recipes.

Because the raisins we have over there are so aromatic and delicious that you would never hate them. They are known as golden raisins. I can feel you, when you said that you hate raisins. Well I did too, when I tried black (or red) raisins, whatever its called, for the first time in Canada. Because they dont really taste the same as golden raisins which I am used to. So I would love to suggest you to try thematleast once, if it is possible for you to find them near by you.

    I have told my parents repeatedly how thankfully I was that growing up they made it their mission once a month to expose us to different cultural events and food from around the world. We couldn't afford to really travel and this was absolutely the next best thing. Having those experiences and meeting so many people at festivals and events made me love people and food that were different from me and made me less ignorant about the world. So many people live in a box and never even try to expose themselves to anything different and they miss out on so much that is out there. Trying other things doesn't mean you have to like them but it will still help unlock that something in your mind that says you're open to new things.

    You should try Romanian food. Eastern European countries have influenced each other's cultures for many centuries, so when I try to explain to people what Romanian food is like I say that it's a bit like combining Greek, Turkish, Slavic and a little bit of French cuisine together.
    Some of my favourite dishes are:
    -ciorbă; -sarmale; -varză călită; -mici; -ardei umpluți (mains).
    -zacuscă; -salată de vinete (side dishes).
    -papanași; -colivă (desserts)

    Some info:
    Thin poha just needs to be washed in a colander and water squeezed out.
    We in south India prefer thick poha, which needs soaking for 5-8 mins, and then water squeezed out. It's more juicy, more fibrous and filling 🥰
    Don't forget to add curry leaves, green chillies, lemon juice at the end to the cooked poha! South Indians don't add sugar.
    Naan has different variations. U can top it up with fried onions/lightly toasted kasuri methi(dried Fenugreek leaves)/toasted garlic or stuffed with mashed, spiced potato or veggies mixture.
    Do explore more dishes from south, east Nd West India! You'll find some true gems!

I love the recipes in it. So many things to cook Indian you’ll never run out of options. I do usually add garlic and or onions( definitely not Vedic.)

The dedication you have to make paneer from scrath is remarkable. I feel joy in finding someone else, like me, that too not indian , making panner from scratch and not just buying it out from market . Just love them home made authentic stuffs . What can I say , there's always something there in indian cuisine for your different mood and taste buds.

    I came in expecting very typical western people having Indian food and was left astonished and in awe. You had me at making the paneer at home- most Indians don't do it themselves. You made a fantastic block of paneer, how I wish now that I would make my own too.
    What I absolutely adored, you were open to let your kids eat with hands or forks if they wanted to, it was lovely to see. We eat with our hands and I understand that some cultures find it a little distressing and different, but the way you let your kids have that experience, I am glad they did. We enjoy food with all our senses, touch being one of them.
    I know people will say that you tried out the most popular dishes like Palak Paneer and Butter chicken, but it is just totally normal. The instructions for these dishes are easily available, and so are the ingredients and therefore are like a starter pack. I'd absolutely love for you and the family to try other Indian dishes, from all over the country. I truly enjoyed this video.
