CHAI MEANS TEA AND KAPPY MEANS COFFEE. Try to taste traditional cuisine while you are in Kochi and where ever you are in INdia , bcz the food and culture changes in every 100 km you travel and you can customize your food as required ie, less spicy no bones or mentioning specific needs while ordering.
u can buy small packets of special chai tea mix powder in indian shops in uk..just add to ur tea...or u can add couple cardamom pods, ginger n cinnamon
Hello, So lovely to see you in Kochi, India. I hope you enjoyed the delicious Indian tea Chai. That Muslim woman designed a nice art on her hand. That is a called Mehdi. Muslim women mostly decorating their hands by those designs. Kerala is a city in South India
Fort Kochi used to be Jewish, Dutch and Portuguese trading posts in the past, so you'll find an eclectic mix of architectures there. Kochi/Malabar was the origin of the historical India ocean spice trade since black pepper is indigenous to Malabar Coast of India. Kochi/Muziris is an ancient city with significant global history. For example, Christopher Columbus was seeking the spice trade route to Kochi/Malabar when he accidentally discovered the Americas. Dutch East India Company (which was the origin of capitalism) was also created to initially trade with Kochi/Malabar. It might not seem like much today but Kochi/Malabar shaped world history is very pivotal ways.
As you are in Kochi now, and as you mentioned Jews and Chinese, you will realised that the Subcontinent always had visiting trading nations since very ancient times, including Arabs and Africans. South of the Subcontinent is unique with Dravida civilisation, language (not related to Indo Aryan which was introduced to the Subcontinent by the migratory tribes), culture, arts and music. The Subcontinent is NOT homogeneous since very ancient times! Glad you knew some history.
That fishing net originated in China. Introduced by one of Chinese naval general named Zheng He (spelling could be different) who was plying between Africa and China, long before Portuguese arrived in Asia. There is and ancient Chinese settlement in Kenya!!! By the way St Thomas too arrived millennia before establishing Christianity in Kerala, with a very large Christian, Catholic population to this day.
Nah this was just the case with the Malabar Coast, rest of India was not like this. Malabar Coast is unique because monsoon trade winds periodically hit Kerala like clockwork every year so it was very easy for Westerners (and even Chinese) to use as Tradewinds. Malabar Coast/Western Ghats was also the origin of Black Pepper, which was valued more than gold back then because it was necessary to preserve food before refrigeration. Malabari cosmopolitanism is unique not just by Indian standards but even by historical global standards. Malabar was globalized long before globalization was a thing
Bro you are promoting the wrong history there might be some migratory tribes from central Asia but the language was developed here, and there are evidences that genetically there is very less difference bet south and north Indians
Aryan theory is a myth and your history teachers have been conveniently lying to you. That theory has been debunked again and again and again. India was homogeneous since time immemorial, with different kingdoms, exactly like the Greeks.
Avoid Delhi and Mumbai at all costs. They're chaotic, unsafe for women, and will drain your energy. India offers countless stunning places beyond these overrated metropolises. Yet, most foreign tourists flock to these exhausting and stereotypical spots. For tranquility, head to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Flights are available from major cities. It boasts India's finest beaches and is remarkably safe. Don't miss Ladakh, Meghalaya, and Sikkim either. A quick online search will reveal their breathtaking beauty. India is home to over 60% of the Himalayas, making any village or valley in these mountains far superior to the chaotic big cities.
@@dunneytravels That's an exaggeration. We just had G20 in Delhi. It's a big city, you just need to avoid the shady Old Delhi areas/Paharganj where most foreigners like to stay and travel (for god knows what reason). Plenty of cheap accommodations in New Delhi.
Chai = tea. It's just hindi name of tea. When you read chai coffee that's does means they are selling tea and coffee as well because most sells only tea. (Except some crazy people sprinkle coffee on tea)
Biriyani is not native to the Subcontinent, but Persian and Islamic. Usually all curries are native. Nevertheless Biriyani is one of the best meals one can ever have!!!
It is very hard to say which food is authentic considering the history, diversity, blending with ancient migrants and civilizations to the area. Nevertheless Biriyani, Thandoori, Tikka (I think it is a new cuisine from N-E than South) are very refined, even though I cant say about the origins. Imagine even Greeks were there thousands of years ago, during Buddha's time. Buddha statue is Greek Ark from Ghandara.
Never say Chai tea guys.. Chai means tea.. Either say tea or chai.. By saying Chai tea, you guys are asking tea tea.. And for Naan bread Naan means bread, and by saying Naan bread, you are asking for bread bread. It's for every foreigners, a simple tips to tackle certain mistakes. Ok And in you get to know about Kappy ( which refers as coffee).
Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Kerala is the richest temple in the world ❤️ India's first church, mosque and synagogue were all built in Kerala❤️ Kerala is the most educated state in India❤️ People in Kerala do not fight for religion like people in other states of India do❤️ There are many beautiful places in Kerala like Alappuzha(allappey), Munnar Fort Kochi...etc.
Malabari cosmopolitanism is unique by Indian standards for historical reasons (why you see Dutch, Portuguese, Jewish influences over there). Kerala is a uniquely erudite and civilized place in India. Don't expect the same elsewhere in India, be warned. Although not very urbanized, Kochi is the Indian equivalent of Macau or Hong Kong in China. It's where the West has met the East for centuries. Delhi especially is not like this and can be a very insular place, be warned. I always suggest foreign tourists to India to avoid Delhi. It's a very dangerous and polluted urban hellacape, very different from the natural and cosmopolitan cultural charm of small Kochi.
That's such a nasty thing to say. If you're not civilized or haven't encountered with civilized people, it's your fault. I as a Bengali felt deeply hurt by your negative comments painting the 'rest of India' as barbaric or uncouth. It almost feels like you're the arrogant uncivilized person here.
Chai Tea? You mean " Tea Tea ". Its Not chai. Its Chaaya. Its not hindi speaking state. Its malayalam speaking state. Kerala speaks malayalam not hindi. So chaaya not chai. Understa the place you are surrounded.
If you're in India, please consider avoiding the commonly visited, stereotypical destinations like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai.

Mumbai is quite a safe city. Delhi on the other hand is the seventh layer of hell.

@@TheRishijoesanuMumbai is safe but chaos?

Come on man you south people really hate the north india too much
It's not Chai Tea, just tell them chai or tea
Not chai tea!
Chai is the Hindi word for Tea
In Malayalam (Language of Kerala) it's 'chaaya' for Tea.
😂 thanks for the info, we’ll say it correctly next time
Chai = tea. It's just hindi name of tea. When you read chai coffee that's does means they are selling tea and coffee as well because most sells only tea. (Except some crazy people sprinkle coffee on tea)
Try some authentic Biriyani , Thandoori chicken or Tikka chicken with naan bread.. there are amazing❤
Biriyani is not native to the Subcontinent, but Persian and Islamic. Usually all curries are native. Nevertheless Biriyani is one of the best meals one can ever have!!!
It is very hard to say which food is authentic considering the history, diversity, blending with ancient migrants and civilizations to the area.

Haha noted!
Mallus English accent is the funniest 🤣
ohh vellya sayipp onnu poda knappa ande naatile myrkalk englishil samsarikan pollum kayila nttaan avande oru
You speak any other unfamiliar language is also kinda funny😂
50 rupees for samosa from such shop is too much next time try to just walk away and voila you will get them in 15 rupees each.
Never say Chai tea guys..
Chai means tea..
Either say tea or chai..
By saying Chai tea, you guys are asking tea tea..
And for Naan bread
Naan means bread, and by saying Naan bread, you are asking for bread bread.
