This was such an eye-opening experience, and I learnt so much along the way - that naan though!!!! Very excited to explore more, and I know I only barely scratched the surface here, so please do share if there's any of your favorite recipes that you think I should try? - Inga
Inga studied up like a beast for this video . All the references are on point . This was the most someone tried and appreciated . Kuddos to the shopkeeper for guiding authentically .
Absolutely! The research deserves all the appreciation! Also the naan method! Have been using it at home for a while now! It's an amazing technique as we can not all have tandoors at home, but we can enjoy some delicious naan❤️
@@harshakalluri4455 lol why do ya’ll have to be so pessimistic and disregard anything a person might have done, she’s very knowledgeable in food, she could obviously pull it off and she did.
As an Indian u can't believe how satisfied I am with this video. People always mess up Indian food and it pains to watch them but yours truly was great. Thank you soo much Inga. And also really appreciate your research.
It's just really sad today because all the really good resources are just a click away and mostly free. So many Indian people share their cuisine with the world. When I grew up you could only get what was in the library and in cooking magazines.
I wish she try more of the indian food, cuz she tried only northern indian cuisines, which is arguably what comes to mind first when thinking of indian food
The reason naan didnt stick to the tawa was because it still had oiliness from the butter that was used for pav. Tawa needs to be completely oil fre for the naans to stick, as i faced the same thing when i tried this method for the first time.
actually the main factor is that you have to smash the naan into the tawa, how they do it in tandoor, using the crumpled cloth. The oil could be the reason but I think she washed the dishes. Respect!
Spray salt water onto a dry un-oiled tawa, breads, kulchas and naans will stick like no one's business, and release perfectly when the bottom gets nice crispy brown
I just want to say: 1. It is evident a lot of research went into making all the dishes. 2. All recipes were sourced from various chefs who make pretty authentic stuff! 3. A lot of care and effort went into making each of the dishes. I'd have to say, each dish turned out at least amazing enough for any Indian mom to be proud of the it! hats off!
I'm always unsure about how people from other countries view Indian culture. I've read posts with heartbreaking criticism of my country, and I've seen people stand up for my country as well. What Indians want, as most other countries do, is that when you delve into our culture, keep an open mind, and try to appreciate each experience. And you truly did that, Inga, you really put so much effort into each dish, into learning as much as you could. Thank you for that.
I think everyone would love India if it was much cleaner and the water was safer to drink for foreigners. India is a beautiful country, with a vibrant ancient culture/history, hospitable people and with a large variety of absolutely delicious food. But unfortunately the lack of hygiene in India puts most people off.
This is the kind of detail I expect from a food review show. A lot of food channels have their cooking videos showing and trying Indian food, but the best thing they can say about the food is that "it has spices" or they can "taste the spice". Which kinda feels like an easy way out, especially if the channel has millions of subscribers. "Spice" is a combination of multiple spices and flavours and watching you eat and telling them apart individually shows that you know your stuff and are not just doing it for the "views". Made the experience seem very authentic. Loved the video.:)
@@solar1554 | we all ain’t poor mate 😂 most of us are normal middle class people. obviously there are poor people, poverty exists in every country. and ofc, there are celebrities & rich people. like every country. our middle class is different than the american middle class but yeah. we’re not all poor
@@solar1554 we are not poor and if you compare India with a developed country then you might think India is poor! And there are poor people here but majority of Indian family are decent middle class families!
I have seen so many foreigners attempting Indian Food right from home cooks to celebrity chefs but I've never seen anyone get it right. Not even Gordon Ramsey. You actually took the efforts of making it the right way and succeeded to a greater level than them. Kudos to you girl ^-^
My mom says that this is Indian mom approved!!!!! You friggen crushed it!!! Two things she would have changed: a) naan is just naan, not "naan bread", and b) roast-fry the spices (cinnamon, leaves, cloves, and cardamom) before the vegetables, even if you're making marinade. In Gujarati, it's called the "vagaar". There is such diverse cuisine between regions in India (North-South, and then between states) and other South Asian countries, and yet there are mesmerizing through lines that seem to exist in some form throughout all of Asia. Indian restaurants in North America are typically dominated by North Indian (Punjabi) cuisine, so I'm looking forward to see you explore South Indian dishes and even some desserts.
@@tanviohol6807 to my understanding, naan literally means bread, so saying naan bread is the same as saying "bread bread" haha; same with chai tea being "tea tea" so it's redundant
@@tanviohol6807 @philo Yes naan is a type of bread just like Latte is a type of coffee and Bao is type of dumpling but do you say Latte coffee, Bao dumpling, Matcha tea, or burger sandwich, et cetera? No. Certain words are proper nouns in themselves, to say Naan bread is like saying Joe person (different in meaning than Joe the person of course but even that would be weird to say if the context did not require it). And saying Chai tea is like saying Tea tea. Chai is the literal translation for tea in Hindi and Urdu. And to my knowledge, there is no separate word for the broader category bread in Hindi so, every bread has it's own assigned name. I am just trying to make the concept more clear to you, I hope I don't come off as rude or aggressive because that is not my intent.
@Queendom no, she is Vietnamese. Also, I don’t think Korean food is anyway similar to Indian food. Actually , Vietnamese use similar spices to Indians more than Koreans.
@@maheephoenix4398 unironically Korean and South Indian cuisine and language match at many areas. Because Southern India had trade routes to Korea, to Japan, to China and they traded often as well.

Who are those indians sitting in lockdown and your mouth is watering after seeing all these foods . I am that kind of Indian . The food looks amazing Inga loved it 💖✨
As an Indian this is actually so nice to see cause a lot of people don't know a lot about indian food and it kinda annoying when they call Everything curry so it's nice you used a recipe by an Indian person and u did ur research
As an Indian, I really appreciate that she tried to eat the food with her hand! Next time, if she does something Indian, I want her to go more South Indian-ish. With the less famous foods.
Yeah like dosa or upma or pongal or puttu for breakfast. Meen or Mutton kolumbu, Mutton kola urundai for lunch, Idli with chutney for dinner and finally a filter coffee
Like you guys can’t call India as India for once ? More South Indianish...you people are already creating differences inside what are outsiders gonna do
@@thatgenius8631 India itslf is really different and diverse, many cuisines, ingredients, cultures, methods, traditions so it's gonna be different, we embrace it
@@TencoVoldigoad that's not the point of why she said that actually. North India and South India are very very very very different. Be it cuisine, culture and tradition. We love it and we embrace it. I've never actually eaten the biriyani that Inga made in this video because in the south, it's entirely different. The eating habits and food that we eat here are very different from what people in the North eat
She actually pronounced every dish pretty good. Most of the foreigners don't pronounce indian dishes correctly so this was actually a suprise. I'm surprised by her dedication too!
When you say i am an Indian, then there is no need to end your sentence with "myself" Ye aisa hoga jaise tum bol rahi ho ki "main indian hu main khud" Its like you are saying CHAI-TEA
I am not even Indian, but I could tell she tried really hard to be accurate and appreciative of the Indian cuisine, I felt the respect and the work she put behind the scenes and I am getting happy just by reading people's positive comments! I might try to do the first dish, I never tried Indian food but it looked delicious :)
She really worked for making all the dishes , because as an Indian girl can't have all power to make all the dishes . I really like her and appreciate ❤️❤️ lots of love
You cooked three most complicated dishes in one day, all by yourself with enormous patience, sincerity, I mean-wwhaat and you did it all so prefectly! This was very impressive ❤️ And with the tea, you could try stronger tea leaves and add 2 tablespoons of it, so the aroma and color is darker and tea would taste better
My prayers have been answered lol. The methods of cooking the food and even pronouncing the names of the dishes were spot on Inga! Even though I am Indian, I doubt I'll be able to make pav bhaji, butter chicken or chicken biriyani to save my life hahahah you nailed it
Have never seen a non-indian so accepting about Indian food. And you've got the palette & stomach for it too! May you enjoy more from our bountiful culinary portfolio 🙂
you should plug the store where the owner gave that bread to you on the house. People like that should be cherished in this world, especially local business owners during these times
The fact that I’ve been following ATE for a while and thought Indian food won’t come here for a while. Most importantly when people try to recreate Indian food they call everything curry and don’t make the gravy right Inga nailed it! The recipes she used is exactly what we as Indians use to make our food. :))
She literally chose few of the most technical and time consuming dishes to make. That naan looked superb and also the consistency and colour of butter chicken was great.
First time seeing someone actually doing their research before making or trying the food of that country.....she has my respect and as an Indian it makes me very happy. Here also we actually follow the recipes by the chefs mentioned here.
I’m not Indian but i absolutely love love love how educated Inga is and how much she cares about each type of food she’s awesome. from the first time i saw one of her vids i really liked her and i just love how caring she is and everything ahhhhh
As an Indian I must say u have done a wonderful job....I am super proud of you....thank you so much for making our dishes so perfectly without messing up even a tiny bit....about the naan you have done a great job because I have been trying to make that for so long now but it never comes out perfectly so I think you have done a impressive work for the first time....👏👏👏👏 I know all the indians would agree on this part....thank you so much...I hope to see you make more indian recipes in future.😌😌 Suggestion: please try other Indian recipes from south,east and western parts of india...😊😊
The representation of Indians on an international platform is so less and so stereotyped, it felt really good to see someone cook our food and address it without any prejudice. Thank you for giving our food to this platform. 👍👍
Ngl you probably are the first non Indian chef who perfected authentic Indian food. Such a delight to watch this video. Thank you for staying authentic instead of replacing core ingredients with alternatives. Loved it. Quick tip: the more you boil your tea on low flame the creamier it gets. -Love from India
Being indian its so satisfying to hear her say the right names actually having done research instead of calling everything flatbread and curry like everyone else does.
I do feel like you should do either: Irish food for 24 hours or German food for 24 hrs. Listen, i'm part german and scotts-irish so it only makes sense that I'd ask :)
@@familyfood7278 Not really, no. Bread in all honesty is essentially a product of (generally) flour, water and yeast. And if people do feel the need to associate the name of the type of bread with the word 'bread' itself, it should not really be a matter of concern or discontent. A loaf can mean different things as well because it basically refers to being oblongly shaped. For example, a loaf of cake. Naan is not the only type of bread to exist. It is but only, a type of Indian bread. So if non-indigenous people say 'Naan bread', it is done to clearly state to another person that Naan is a type of bread. For instance, not many people would know what Challah is. This is why it is referred to as Challah bread. The same goes for Pita bread. And so on.
really surprised they did an episode on asian cuisine that's not just the usual chinese/japanese/korean food! Great work on all the research! So much patience and everything looked GREAT!!
Indian food is not an Asian cuisine. It's an Indian cuisine, India is a sub continent on its own, Asia is just a geographical position it lies in. The culture or people are not Asian but solely Indian. We don't associate India with Asia, culturally but just geographically on paper.
@Ryan Roshan I'm an Indian. I'm not an Asian. I live in Asia, or perhaps you can call me an Asian but my ethnicity will always be Indian (from subcontinent).
@Ryan Roshan you probably didn't attend geography and biology class then, Korean, Chinese and Japanese including south east Asians are of eastern mongoloid race unlike Indians. There is no eastern subcontinent. We are not "as much as Asian" like them. Why don't Middle Eastern people refer themselves as Asians or west Asians, because they understand their true identity unlike most Indians probably. Arabs are from Arabian peninsula and Indians from Indian subcontinent, Asian don't particularly have their own sub- continent or eastern peninsula, hence they're referred to using a broader term such as Asians.
When your Indian food video can make an Indian person's mouth water, that's when you know you did it right. And I promise you there were some drooling mouths out there, including mine. Awesome job Inga.
I can't tell you the amount of happiness I received while watching you all enthusiastic, fun and truly devoted towards cooking our food during the whole video ♥️🙌🏻💯
This is the first time I saw someone using chopsticks to cook biriyani! Our world is a global village indeed. This gives really good vibes. Wish every human on the planet lives in happiness and harmony. And Kudos to you Inga, you nailed it! ♥
As an Indian, I am really impressed. For some one who is trying to cook Indian dishes for first time, you nailed it. I can see you are really talented chef. Many Indians attempt to do these dishes only after having spent some months, if no years, in the kitchen.
Ohhh!!! As an Indian, This made me so so so happy and have joyful flutters in my heart!! While watching the video I was so curious about what all is Inga gonna cook and honestly girl, you have NOT disappointed!! Everything came out so well and mouthwatering! Specially when she referenced Delhi so many times, as a Delhite, it got my Dilli heart burst with joy! Thanku for being so conscious and respectful with all the dishes, the spices, the culture et al.. Kudos to you and the channel for embracing diversity so beautifully with all of your videos 💜💜💜
The receipes you followed Inga, were from celerated chefs of India. So, you did your research right. I am happy that somebody tried to be as exact as possible and loved it. I hope you try making more of these.
This video was so engaging I didn't even notice that it was almost half an hour long! I mean that's some quality content right there, I was pretty amazed by your skills throughout the whole process. At times even Indians are unable to pull off cooking such complex dishes with as much ease as you did
Inga did an amazing job since those dishes require techniques that take years to master. For people who are just getting into Indian food, the reason why there is so much color is to create an appetite visually, the fragrance of spices help salivating which aids in digestion and the reason why you eat with your hand is to completely get immersed into the experience by touching and feeling the textures. By involving all the senses, you assimilate the food better. Indian food is full of variety. The usual butter chicken, naan, biriyani, daal makhani, palak paneer, dal fry are indeed very tasty dishes but they just touch the brim of the cuisine, all these dishes are from the northern part of India. Pav Bhaji is a very famous street food delight from the city of Mumbai. Another great thing is, Indian food is in my experience the best cuisine for vegans and vegetarians. Alright some dishes that Inga and everyone can try is: Vada pav (street food), tawa pulao, Masala Dosa with Sambar, Rice payas, daal makhani, paneer butter masala, uppam and vegetable stew, Rasmalai for the sweet tooth out there and finally to conclude kulfi a type of ice cream. I'm sorry i couldn't add more cuz there are so many! Feel free to comment some dishes you'd like Inga to try. Again sorry for the long comment, thank you very much for reading and I hope you have a lovely day❤️.
I cannot begin to explaing how much ur love for indian food made me happy, i am half indian and didnt grow up in a very indian based country (neither canada nor where i live now) but i do feel disconnected from my indian roots and the only thing that kept me content with my indian self is my granny's food, knowing others enjoy it and that its even not that hard to try and make it myself is heartwarming....hope u continue to enjoy our food and even the culture, the video was great and def made me ask my granny if shes up for making some food together and if she could teach me! also u saying "its like spice gallor" made me laugh so hard, yep ur def making indian food alright!
Here's the thing...Preparation of Indian food generally takes a lot of time and energy BUT it's all worth it in the end coz Indian food is so damn tasty..I'm not Indian btw..so not being biased here 😌
Actually a lot of Indian dishes are rather simple . She took really hard dishes to make and really did it well ! Better than my mom tbh . But some of the simpler dishes are roti,dal,aloo tarkari, bhindi sabji , etc etc
Not necessarily. In my house we have never cooked butter chicken or biryani at home. It's more of a restaurant dish for us or even if somebody is cooking it, it's saved for special days. The food that you get in Indian household generally are not so oily or spicy and can be made within minutes. Although planning make take a day.
@@cristinewithnoh840 it doesn't have anything related to non veg or veg lmaoo . Simpler chicken curry exists too .. which is wayy easier than butter chicken. There is a lot of variety for both non veg and veg in Indian households . Not to mention cuisines are different from state to state .
As an Indian. This brought a huge smile on my face. You gave justice to our food, although I did get alittle stressed because you were making such extensive dishes. My Indian stomach couldn't handle that much in a day and being stressed for you was obvious.
wow is that A LOT of COOKING in a day. Definitely touched on some of the people's favourites. Instead of Pav Bhaji one can also try Dosa also another amazing vegetarian awesomeness. Really nice of you how you give credits to all the chefs you learnt from. And oh man I gotta mention that Butter chicken, you nailed it ma'am!!!
Inga puts so much into her challenges, she actually does some research and really wants to master everything. She seems to be super passionate about the food and the cultures and everything and I’m here for it 😍
I don’t know anything about indian food aside from its delightful ness, but it’s great to see how inga preserved the authenticity of each dish so well that indian ppl take notice!
OMG! You did so well considering this was the first time you were cooking Indian food, and you even picked 3 really complex dishes in Butter Chicken, Naan, and Biryani. And you followed and understood the recipes so well and so closely! This was so good to watch. Only a few changes you can do was to lessen the amount of cinnamon and sugar in the Butter Chicken. You can always add sugar in the end as per your taste, and I think having just 1 stick of cinnamon is more than enough. For the Naan, you can try slapping them onto the Tawa and press them slightly so that they stick to it. Or, once you are done on one side, use one of those handheld Barbeque/Kabab grills or even mental tongs to hold it over the flame for the other side. Your Biryani was almost perfect, but like you said, it can always do with more friend onions. Also add a layer of friend onions, mint, and coriander leaves just above the chicken. That way some of those flavors will be absorbed by the chicken too. The only other thing is you can also make Raita and maybe Salan too when you make the Biryani next time. Raita especially is so good to have with a Biryani or Pulao.
I AM SO PROUD OF INGA TO ACTUALLY DO JUSTICE TO INDIAN FOOD OMG🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 And the pronunciations were great! never have I ever seen someone who's so unknown to the cuisine just do such an amazing job❤️❤️❤️
I'm not even 2 minutes into the video and I'm already smiling like crazy. Inga knows how to appreciate things so well and I love cooking a lot. Seeing Inga being excited to cook our cuisine is so endearing.
I am an indian...and i dont think i cooked these dishes so flawlessly on my first try. You did a great job there 👏🏻you also picked some of the most methodical and tume consuming of the dishes! Kudos and more power to you 😁
Crazy how you accomplished that biryani in the first trial. I know naan is a tricky thing, like the others said heat plays major role in naan to stick, and yeast helps too. I think your chai can go a bit more on the colour, I think you preferred less masala and chai powder / leaves. But it was awesome to see you cook Indian.
All the pronunciations and references are soooo on point. INGA NAILED THIS ONE. I love Inga so much from her buzzfeed days and she has won my heart again😭❤. So proud of her.
i am very excited and happy to see you cook and follow each and every step without missing . To be frank, i follow the same cooking channels that you have mentioned (i am an Indian staying in USA) but do skip few steps to make it more easy and convenient for me. But girl! you are devoted and i can see you enjoying the process of cooking and enjoying it.
That’s absolutely amazing. Doesn’t look like some one is attempting it for the first time. Below are my views and some suggestions for next time, which I am sure you will cook again and hope to use some tips from here. 1) The Pav Bhaji colour and consistency looks fabulous, just as one would see in a well-made Indian home kitchen. With the ginger & garlic you may add a small amount (only half spoon) of pure mint paste - do not burn it or add more, else it leaves a bitter taste. You can also add boiled peas along with the boiled potatoes. The trick is to mash the Bhaji after adding all ingredients - yes mash it over and over again till the flavour of each ingredient is indistinguishable and it becomes a thick paste. Recommended on side are some finely chopped onions that can sprinkled with some lime or lemon juice. You can also add some lemon juice in the Bhaji after the butter served on top has melted or just before eating. I will recommend using whole dried Kashmiri chilies - toasted a bit and then powdered for a fresher flavour. Yes, more butter is recommended with the Pav and you can also grate a mild flavoured cheese on the Bhaji while serving- such as a mild cheddar that is a bit sour for example Amul cheese of India. 2) The Butter chicken looks yummy. I feel that you added too much of cinnamon - if those are strong stick then it will overpower the flavour. You may keep the chicken marinated for longer - say over night in the second marinade for a more robust flavour. Also, if you score the chicken the marinade will go deeper. With mustard oil - it is recommended to heat the oil till it starts fuming and loses its odour (add once cooled) else that can leave a strong mustardy flavour profile in the chicken. One tip - you can use the first marinade plus some green chilli paste on a fresh water fish - keep it for a few hours - and deep fry in mustard oil (again after it loses its odour) - ala fish n chips style. You may eat this with a mint and coriander chutney. 3). Excellent attempt at the Naan. It is not easy when not using a Tandoor. Next time get adventurous and make garlic etc Naan. You may also try a whole wheat roti or laccha paratha as a healthier option.
4) The Chicken Biryani looks yummy. Yes, more ghee and saffron will help. Also, in the chicken marinade you could also add a bit of peeled and cubed or half small potatoes, some fried onions (this a must in the marinade), some mint leaves, a soaked dried apricot (soaked in water for a while and seeds removed) and some pineapple (one tsp) - the latter two add sweetness that enhances the flavours of the spices on cooking so add appropriately. You can roast the dry spices a bit in day a cool them and then add the mix to the marinade - this bumps up the flavour profiles. You can also pair the biryani with a finely chopped cucumber, tomato, onion raita (veggies in curd or yogurt) plus add some finely chopped coriander and mint and make it a bit sweet if you like. Some also have a burnt garlic raita. In North a savoury spice balled snack called khara boondi is also soaked in a more liquid curd with salt or a salt + sugar option. This accompanies the Biryani well. 5) That tea is great. With tea - to each its own.
This was such an eye-opening experience, and I learnt so much along the way - that naan though!!!! Very excited to explore more, and I know I only barely scratched the surface here, so please do share if there's any of your favorite recipes that you think I should try? - Inga

The reason naan didnt stick to the tawa was because it still had oiliness from the butter that was used for pav. Tawa needs to be completely oil fre for the naans to stick, as i faced the same thing when i tried this method for the first time.
actually the main factor is that you have to smash the naan into the tawa, how they do it in tandoor, using the crumpled cloth. The oil could be the reason but I think she washed the dishes. Respect!
Spray salt water onto a dry un-oiled tawa, breads, kulchas and naans will stick like no one's business, and release perfectly when the bottom gets nice crispy brown
Useful info👍💯

A lot of food channels have their cooking videos showing and trying Indian food, but the best thing they can say about the food is that "it has spices" or they can "taste the spice". Which kinda feels like an easy way out, especially if the channel has millions of subscribers. "Spice" is a combination of multiple spices and flavours and watching you eat and telling them apart individually shows that you know your stuff and are not just doing it for the "views". Made the experience seem very authentic. Loved the video.:)

I have seen so many foreigners attempting Indian Food right from home cooks to celebrity chefs but I've never seen anyone get it right. Not even Gordon Ramsey.
You actually took the efforts of making it the right way and succeeded to a greater level than them.
Kudos to you girl ^-^
My mom says that this is Indian mom approved!!!!! You friggen crushed it!!! Two things she would have changed: a) naan is just naan, not "naan bread", and b) roast-fry the spices (cinnamon, leaves, cloves, and cardamom) before the vegetables, even if you're making marinade. In Gujarati, it's called the "vagaar".
There is such diverse cuisine between regions in India (North-South, and then between states) and other South Asian countries, and yet there are mesmerizing through lines that seem to exist in some form throughout all of Asia. Indian restaurants in North America are typically dominated by North Indian (Punjabi) cuisine, so I'm looking forward to see you explore South Indian dishes and even some desserts.
We say it 'baghaar' although I quite feel related as I live in town on gujrat MP border.
A Naan is A BREAD tho
@@tanviohol6807 to my understanding, naan literally means bread, so saying naan bread is the same as saying "bread bread" haha; same with chai tea being "tea tea" so it's redundant
a naan is a bread though, if you go to a indian restaurant or hotel, naan would be in breads category.
@@tanviohol6807 @philo Yes naan is a type of bread just like Latte is a type of coffee and Bao is type of dumpling but do you say Latte coffee, Bao dumpling, Matcha tea, or burger sandwich, et cetera? No. Certain words are proper nouns in themselves, to say Naan bread is like saying Joe person (different in meaning than Joe the person of course but even that would be weird to say if the context did not require it). And saying Chai tea is like saying Tea tea. Chai is the literal translation for tea in Hindi and Urdu. And to my knowledge, there is no separate word for the broader category bread in Hindi so, every bread has it's own assigned name.
I am just trying to make the concept more clear to you, I hope I don't come off as rude or aggressive because that is not my intent.
I love how she actually followed every step and not like other western chiefs who put 2 or 3 spices and say that's enough....
@Queendom no, she is Vietnamese. Also, I don’t think Korean food is anyway similar to Indian food. Actually , Vietnamese use similar spices to Indians more than Koreans.
@@maheephoenix4398 unironically Korean and South Indian cuisine and language match at many areas. Because Southern India had trade routes to Korea, to Japan, to China and they traded often as well.

She won my heart when she said "Naan" and not "naan bread" sometimes in the video.
Naan is not literally the exact definition of bread, so even if people say Naan Bread, we should not really squint and judge.
@@cygne991 but it's the same as if someone said "loaf bread"
@@familyfood7278 Not really, no. Bread in all honesty is essentially a product of (generally) flour, water and yeast. And if people do feel the need to associate the name of the type of bread with the word 'bread' itself, it should not really be a matter of concern or discontent.
A loaf can mean different things as well because it basically refers to being oblongly shaped. For example, a loaf of cake.
Naan is not the only type of bread to exist. It is but only, a type of Indian bread. So if non-indigenous people say 'Naan bread', it is done to clearly state to another person that Naan is a type of bread.
For instance, not many people would know what Challah is. This is why it is referred to as Challah bread. The same goes for Pita bread. And so on.
In China, my mom calls it nang or nan(饢）
Next, she will be saying "chai tea"
really surprised they did an episode on asian cuisine that's not just the usual chinese/japanese/korean food! Great work on all the research! So much patience and everything looked GREAT!!
Indian food is not an Asian cuisine. It's an Indian cuisine, India is a sub continent on its own, Asia is just a geographical position it lies in. The culture or people are not Asian but solely Indian.
We don't associate India with Asia, culturally but just geographically on paper.
@Ryan Roshan I'm an Indian. I'm not an Asian. I live in Asia, or perhaps you can call me an Asian but my ethnicity will always be Indian (from subcontinent).
@Ryan Roshan you probably didn't attend geography and biology class then, Korean, Chinese and Japanese including south east Asians are of eastern mongoloid race unlike Indians. There is no eastern subcontinent. We are not "as much as Asian" like them. Why don't Middle Eastern people refer themselves as Asians or west Asians, because they understand their true identity unlike most Indians probably. Arabs are from Arabian peninsula and Indians from Indian subcontinent, Asian don't particularly have their own sub- continent or eastern peninsula, hence they're referred to using a broader term such as Asians.

Inga did an amazing job since those dishes require techniques that take years to master. For people who are just getting into Indian food, the reason why there is so much color is to create an appetite visually, the fragrance of spices help salivating which aids in digestion and the reason why you eat with your hand is to completely get immersed into the experience by touching and feeling the textures. By involving all the senses, you assimilate the food better. Indian food is full of variety. The usual butter chicken, naan, biriyani, daal makhani, palak paneer, dal fry are indeed very tasty dishes but they just touch the brim of the cuisine, all these dishes are from the northern part of India. Pav Bhaji is a very famous street food delight from the city of Mumbai. Another great thing is, Indian food is in my experience the best cuisine for vegans and vegetarians. Alright some dishes that Inga and everyone can try is: Vada pav (street food), tawa pulao, Masala Dosa with Sambar, Rice payas, daal makhani, paneer butter masala, uppam and vegetable stew, Rasmalai for the sweet tooth out there and finally to conclude kulfi a type of ice cream. I'm sorry i couldn't add more cuz there are so many! Feel free to comment some dishes you'd like Inga to try. Again sorry for the long comment, thank you very much for reading and I hope you have a lovely day❤️.
I cannot begin to explaing how much ur love for indian food made me happy, i am half indian and didnt grow up in a very indian based country (neither canada nor where i live now) but i do feel disconnected from my indian roots and the only thing that kept me content with my indian self is my granny's food, knowing others enjoy it and that its even not that hard to try and make it myself is heartwarming....hope u continue to enjoy our food and even the culture, the video was great and def made me ask my granny if shes up for making some food together and if she could teach me! also u saying "its like spice gallor" made me laugh so hard, yep ur def making indian food alright!
I can't imagine cooking so many 'special day' dishes in one day. Kudos to Inga!
Here's the thing...Preparation of Indian food generally takes a lot of time and energy BUT it's all worth it in the end coz Indian food is so damn tasty..I'm not Indian btw..so not being biased here 😌
Actually a lot of Indian dishes are rather simple . She took really hard dishes to make and really did it well ! Better than my mom tbh . But some of the simpler dishes are roti,dal,aloo tarkari, bhindi sabji , etc etc

Not necessarily. In my house we have never cooked butter chicken or biryani at home. It's more of a restaurant dish for us or even if somebody is cooking it, it's saved for special days. The food that you get in Indian household generally are not so oily or spicy and can be made within minutes. Although planning make take a day.
@@cristinewithnoh840 it doesn't have anything related to non veg or veg lmaoo . Simpler chicken curry exists too .. which is wayy easier than butter chicken. There is a lot of variety for both non veg and veg in Indian households . Not to mention cuisines are different from state to state .

Really nice of you how you give credits to all the chefs you learnt from. And oh man I gotta mention that Butter chicken, you nailed it ma'am!!!

@@Rucha599 oh my God this is another level. Salute to your mom!
OMG! You did so well considering this was the first time you were cooking Indian food, and you even picked 3 really complex dishes in Butter Chicken, Naan, and Biryani. And you followed and understood the recipes so well and so closely! This was so good to watch.
Only a few changes you can do was to lessen the amount of cinnamon and sugar in the Butter Chicken. You can always add sugar in the end as per your taste, and I think having just 1 stick of cinnamon is more than enough. For the Naan, you can try slapping them onto the Tawa and press them slightly so that they stick to it. Or, once you are done on one side, use one of those handheld Barbeque/Kabab grills or even mental tongs to hold it over the flame for the other side. Your Biryani was almost perfect, but like you said, it can always do with more friend onions. Also add a layer of friend onions, mint, and coriander leaves just above the chicken. That way some of those flavors will be absorbed by the chicken too. The only other thing is you can also make Raita and maybe Salan too when you make the Biryani next time. Raita especially is so good to have with a Biryani or Pulao.
I AM SO PROUD OF INGA TO ACTUALLY DO JUSTICE TO INDIAN FOOD OMG🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
And the pronunciations were great! never have I ever seen someone who's so unknown to the cuisine just do such an amazing job❤️❤️❤️
I'm not even 2 minutes into the video and I'm already smiling like crazy. Inga knows how to appreciate things so well and I love cooking a lot. Seeing Inga being excited to cook our cuisine is so endearing.
I am an indian...and i dont think i cooked these dishes so flawlessly on my first try. You did a great job there 👏🏻you also picked some of the most methodical and tume consuming of the dishes! Kudos and more power to you 😁
Crazy how you accomplished that biryani in the first trial. I know naan is a tricky thing, like the others said heat plays major role in naan to stick, and yeast helps too. I think your chai can go a bit more on the colour, I think you preferred less masala and chai powder / leaves. But it was awesome to see you cook Indian.
Inga : “Thank You Kind Sir.”
me : ahh i see you are the woman of culture.
All the pronunciations and references are soooo on point. INGA NAILED THIS ONE. I love Inga so much from her buzzfeed days and she has won my heart again😭❤. So proud of her.
i am very excited and happy to see you cook and follow each and every step without missing . To be frank, i follow the same cooking channels that you have mentioned (i am an Indian staying in USA) but do skip few steps to make it more easy and convenient for me. But girl! you are devoted and i can see you enjoying the process of cooking and enjoying it.
That’s absolutely amazing. Doesn’t look like some one is attempting it for the first time.
Below are my views and some suggestions for next time, which I am sure you will cook again and hope to use some tips from here.
1) The Pav Bhaji colour and consistency looks fabulous, just as one would see in a well-made Indian home kitchen. With the ginger & garlic you may add a small amount (only half spoon) of pure mint paste - do not burn it or add more, else it leaves a bitter taste. You can also add boiled peas along with the boiled potatoes. The trick is to mash the Bhaji after adding all ingredients - yes mash it over and over again till the flavour of each ingredient is indistinguishable and it becomes a thick paste. Recommended on side are some finely chopped onions that can sprinkled with some lime or lemon juice. You can also add some lemon juice in the Bhaji after the butter served on top has melted or just before eating. I will recommend using whole dried Kashmiri chilies - toasted a bit and then powdered for a fresher flavour. Yes, more butter is recommended with the Pav and you can also grate a mild flavoured cheese on the Bhaji while serving- such as a mild cheddar that is a bit sour for example Amul cheese of India.
2) The Butter chicken looks yummy. I feel that you added too much of cinnamon - if those are strong stick then it will overpower the flavour. You may keep the chicken marinated for longer - say over night in the second marinade for a more robust flavour. Also, if you score the chicken the marinade will go deeper. With mustard oil - it is recommended to heat the oil till it starts fuming and loses its odour (add once cooled) else that can leave a strong mustardy flavour profile in the chicken. One tip - you can use the first marinade plus some green chilli paste on a fresh water fish - keep it for a few hours - and deep fry in mustard oil (again after it loses its odour) - ala fish n chips style. You may eat this with a mint and coriander chutney.
3). Excellent attempt at the Naan. It is not easy when not using a Tandoor. Next time get adventurous and make garlic etc Naan. You may also try a whole wheat roti or laccha paratha as a healthier option.
4) The Chicken Biryani looks yummy. Yes, more ghee and saffron will help. Also, in the chicken marinade you could also add a bit of peeled and cubed or half small potatoes, some fried onions (this a must in the marinade), some mint leaves, a soaked dried apricot (soaked in water for a while and seeds removed) and some pineapple (one tsp) - the latter two add sweetness that enhances the flavours of the spices on cooking so add appropriately. You can roast the dry spices a bit in day a cool them and then add the mix to the marinade - this bumps up the flavour profiles. You can also pair the biryani with a finely chopped cucumber, tomato, onion raita (veggies in curd or yogurt) plus add some finely chopped coriander and mint and make it a bit sweet if you like. Some also have a burnt garlic raita. In North a savoury spice balled snack called khara boondi is also soaked in a more liquid curd with salt or a salt + sugar option. This accompanies the Biryani well.

Could you try Nigerian food next? Or just African cuisine in general?
Yes! This will be interesting to watch. And knowing Inga, she'll probably do it so well
So interesting to see how she cooked Naan at home! Her enthusiasm to try a cuisine that I grew up with was also heartwarming
