It can be hard sometimes in American cuisine (especially southern) to know if they used chicken stock or bacon fat in the cooking process, and it’s rarely labeled. Indian food is my favorite cuisine to this day not only because of the vegetarian options but the flavors, diversity, and thoughtfulness put into each dish.

Agree with Swastik Sharma, those things must have been Boondi. Ideally, before they are soaked in the raita, they are crispy round tiny balls that are made from moong dal and deep fried for the crispiness. But because they are so airy originally, they can soak up a lot of the raita. I don't like boondi in my raita because I hate soggy things (hence I don't like cereals either). Raita varies in thickness, so the one you must have had was pretty thick. My mom makes the thinnest raita ever, watering down everything with an extra gallon of water. Most restaurants serve pretty thick versions.

A little tip for the eggplant dish: instead of poking holes with a fork before roasting, make slits with a knife and stuff a whole green chilli, maybe a few pieces of garlic in them. And then roast the eggplant. The flavour is magical. Once you take it out of the oven, mash it all up together and cook how you did! 😊

When I was like 19, a friend took me to this little vegan Indian restaurant in the city. It was one of those shops that you accessed by going into another shop and up these really narrow stairs, and once you got up there it was weirdly quiet considering we were in the town centre. It was the best food, honestly, and very economical. Haven't had Indian food that good since. The restaurant was a really vibrant clash of colours that somehow managed to skirt the edge of garish, and at a table over from us was a group of about seven fully decked-out goth kids, who did a great job of contrasting and making the whole experience feel a bit surreal. I may have entered a parallel dimension for that luncheon, who knows.

I am from Germany and always loved Indian food, but also never had an idea how to produce that "original Indian curry taste" myself at home. Then, at the beginning of this year, I tried to start a mostly vegan-veggie diet and during the lockdown, searching for recipe inspiration, started to watch youtube cooking tutorials by many different Indian chefs and hobby cooks... I must say it took me a long time haha, but I went to buy those spices and kept rewatching my favorite videos and now I think I know how to create a decent Masala base and a super tasty Daal (probably gonna cook it once a week this winter it's too good). Indian cuisine is really one of the best for making that vegetarian/vegan life delicious. I'm always looking for new curries that seem doable and vary a little bit though, so this video is great - I wanted to try a spinach curry for a long time and also loove eggplant, but have never eaten it in an Indian dish. Will try that soon!

That video was quite good and looks like you got the essence of Indian cooking. Some things I would add are,(someone will correct if I am wrong) If you are tempering spices, always add mustard and cumin first and once they start crackle add rest of the spices. Then temper till the crackle stops. Raw cumin, or mustard is not very nice to bite in a dish. Also never add things with water in temper (eg. Chilli or onions), they stop the crackling. In tempering, people also add dried chilli, which adds a smoky flavour and heat to dish. Chopping the spinach roughly would have been nicer. It stops random long bits of spinach stems. I usually add some dessicated coconut to spinach which adds some nice falvor. In our home, we always use fresh coconut milk. We were always told to treat it like normal milk. Cook the food in water, boil it down in volume and then add milk. Also acid (lemon, tamirind) is not added to such dishs since the milk might split. (Not sure it holds for canned milk or it is just a myth). Don't cook the cilantro. Or atleast sprinkle some on top after cooking. Soak the lentils for an hour before cooking. They cook way faster then. And never add your spices directly from its container. It exposes the spices to steam and spoils the spices (specially powders) very fast. Use a dry spoon. Do more videos like this.

@vidipshah23534 жыл бұрын
Hey there buddy, I was really happy when I saw this video and I really appreciate the amount of research you've done, but try using a few of these tips to take your Indian cuisine to a whole different level. First of all unlike Western cuisine, onions are used to add texture and volume to the gravy in most Indian dishes, so try caramelizing your onions a little more. I mean let them brown, like really brown, that will provide a subtle sweetness to the dish. Also try slicing your onions for the spinach and the eggplant dishes that will first of all provide a definition to the gravy plus help them caramelize faster. Try sautéing the onions without adding salt so that they naturally release the moisture, trust me this really changes the game, and add the salt later to wilt the spinach. Then, for the eggplants, I would really suggest to char them on an open flame to get that smokey flavour and don't forget to brush them with oil. For your gravy, again you should brown your onions a little more to get that sweetness out of them and then add the tomatoes and reduce until you see the fat come up. Traditionally this eggplant curry is really close to the 'Baigan Bharta' ( Baingan means eggplants and Bharta means smashed) try using mustard oil instead of ghee here, that will enhance the flavours of the eggplant and give it whole new taste, lastly I would suggest you to use black mustard seeds instead of the yellow ones, these too change the flavour a lot. I hope you'll acknowledge these few suggestions and tell me how that went for you. All the very best❤️

The third dish you made is called "baigan bharta" which literally means "mashed eggplant". It's the Indian cousin of the more popular middle eastern and Mediterranean dish, "baba ganoush" often found in Mediterranean restaurants as a dip along with Hummus. Well done with roasting the eggplants wrapped in aluminium foil! I usually go to my apartment rooftop and roast them on a gas grill but this seems to work as well.
@randomnessocity4 жыл бұрын
I feel like Saag is so misunderstood nowadays, so I'll offer a couple of corrections just to be pedantic: Saag can actually be made of any bitter or mild greens, traditionally mustard greens and spinach but you can add kale, collard greens, swiss chard, bok choy, etc. You cook down the spinach a lot more than in this video and add water as necessary to keep it hydrated and gravy-ish. Then you add a slurry of corn flour and water to thicken it. Using an immersion blender will get a great consistent, thick, and creamy texture. Usually served with a style of roti made with corn flour (you hydrate the flour with boiling water, then form into rounds, press down into a roti shape on buttered tinfoil, and cook in a hot pan like roti). It is also common to add paneer or lamb to saag. I've heard of people adding feta and serving with corn chips as well! We also have palak dishes (palak paneer for example), which is just wilted spinach with no corn slurry. The dish in the video would probably be referred to as Palak Channa (spinach split chickpea), traditional Indian dishes are usually named quite literally haha.

The eggplant dish is called bharta. My mum cooks it by putting the whole eggplant on one of the grates of our gas stove while it is alight (we have 5 rings so can do up to 5 eggplants at a time if we want)... this speeds up the roasting to maybe 30-40mins and despite how it looks with the whole thing surrounded by flames, it doesn't burn the inside, only crispens the skin but lends a really tasty smoky flavour to the eggplant inside which comes through when you cook it with the tomatoes later on. It's delicious!! We also add peas or petit pois to our bharta, not cooking them too long, which lends a bit of a soft bite to compliment the mushy eggplant texture :))

Some eat meat only on certain days of the week, some might just have it occasionally while being vegetarian 70-90% of the time, while some might eat it regularly. So even if an Indian might be non-vegetarian, they're still a great source to go to if you wanna learn about vegetarian food. Cheers!

Honest question sister I have been vegetarian whole life and wants to try eating meat and eggs but doesn't it worry you as in our country there is no regulations on how they raise animals and so on....aap kaise pta rakhe ki aap jo fish ya meat kharid rhe hai wo clean hai?

We have a very similar recipe of that eggplant stew here in Romania. It's called zacuscă. You should try it out, all Romanians love it. We call it the student's food because it can be stored in jars and lasts all year long. So most parents send on the train or pack this food to their children who are studying in another city.

Spinach dish- if you soak the chana daal over night and pressure cook it before adding with spinach, you will hardly take 10 minutes to complete this dish. It's very nutrition and tasty. Should not cook spinach for more than 5 to 10 minutes. You will preserve ton of nutrients by not over cooking it.

All canned food is toxic, metals leach into food from the can. Fresh and organic is best, frozen organic is second.

The problem here in USA that they do something to veggies to make them crispier (they think fresh means crispy) and doing that they reduce water contain of the veggies. Then it becomes hard to cook them just by themselves and have to add water...

Yes my mother never adds water because spinach releases water when cooked.

I'm Indian and I don't make a lot of Indian food. I'm really getting in to cooking this year and I'm making more simple stuff. I enjoy this channel a lot because it's yummy and quick food. Josh loving Indian food gives me the validation I need to experiment with the food of my people. Thanks Josh!
