      ​@@chefKeithSarasinchef, just like all visitors to India, you were introduced by misguided people to unhealthy oily spicy food which everybody likes as it is very tasty and popular. But do you know nonspicy Indian food tastes even better?? For example, please try ajwain paratha, carrom seed paratha-google with half-fried eggs and it tastes like heaven. With just one spice..carrom seeds-ajwain in Hindi, it tastes divine. You can scoop out/discard the yolk part of eggs for health reasons. Ajwain paratha cooked in any oil withr healthy whole-wheat flour and not the unhealthy all-purpose flour of naans and breads

    • @carbus1421
      @carbus1421 10 месяцев назад

      ​@@chefKeithSarasinthis ajwain paratha is tastier than any French or German bread and it goes well with anything like butter, sunny side up or scrambled egg whites, curd-yogurt etc.
      Did anyone tell you that very tasty Indian snacks known as namkeen, available in USA, taste even better and healthier when you add finely diced tomatoes and onions to them? The list is long. I will tell you later.

    I have tears, genuinely. I have been following your channel from a very long time. Truly , it feels so good when you rightfully hype our cuisine and get to see the same expression as expected. I have to say, you are just doing a grear job educating fellow west people about our food. Only complain i have or rather a request: please make long videos and want to see detailed review from other chef friends who are experiencing for the first time.

    I agree with you, South Indian food is healthier as well as gut & soul satisfying.
    You should try thatte idli and Davangere benne dosa (Davangere is a city name, benne means butter), paddu and Mulabagilu dosa from Karnataka. Trust me, you'll love them all.
    Btw, sukka means dry not sticky.
    I loved how you used the word Athma for soul.
    You've won our hearts, sir!
    The only thing I'm not satisfied with this video is that it's too short. I'd love to watch more.

    We go to Saffron for their Chicken Lazeez, Sanggam for Dosa, and Biryani Pot for Biryani! Rana’s Indian Cuisine also has very good entrees and tastes very authentic! We have also tried Pav Bhaji Express and they definitely have good pav bhaji!
    I think the thing with Austin’s Indian food scene is that not everything in the menu is good, but certain dishes really shine. So we get the food that the place is good at making!
    That said, nothing beats home-cooked Indian food!

    There are a lot of vegetarian and non vegetarian foods. You'll be definitely satisfied with the visit.

    Usually when it comes experiencing food in Karnataka there is limited exposure. There is so much that goes on here and I seeing how you loved Mumbai, i hope you do consider Karnataka and the states I mentioned.

    You gotta visit Chennai and madurai keith the former is a Melting pot with different cuisines from shaurashtra,North Indian,Rajasthani,Burmese,South Indian,Nepalese are some of the cuisines you could sample in Chennai. And yeah don't forget the seafood those made fresh along the fishing markets and the areas around it. And madurai for the classic tamil Street food kothu parotta, jigarthanda,paruthi paal,Kari dosai,mutton sukka etc etc. also you should visit some large scale food makers /caterers or something to check out how they do it . Try some of these lesser known dishes like atho, akkara vadisal, adhirasam, molessa, sambal, aviyal, botti aka intestines,nalli dosa, crab omlette etc etc but the must try is a banana leaf meal whichever state you go in south India be it TN (the classic veg meal or the one we serve during festivals or feasta that includes a variety of meat dishes),Kerala (sadhya),classic Andhra meal etc.
