The BEST INDIAN FOOD in Austin, TX. Wait Till You See THIS!

Recently, I was giving a talk and book signing in Austin, TX and I decided to check out the Indian food scene. Sure, Austin is known for BBQ but does it deliver when it comes to true, Indian food.
What I found was surprising to say the least. I met an incredible chef doing inspiring things!

About Me:
Chef Keith’s exciting take on Indian cuisine uses his passion for the spices and flavors of the Indian subcontinent with fresh, seasonal ingredients from New England farms to create a dining experience like no other.
Years ago, he dipped a charred piece of bread into a rich gravy that soaked each crumb like a sponge. He raised it to his mouth and closed his eyes, and that is where his journey began.
Chef Keith is a 5x author, restauranteur, and public speaker who grew up in a small city in New Hampshire in the United States. Growing up in kitchens, he learned how to cook from many amazing western chefs. Each chef would impart the knowledge passed down to them by their mentors. It wasn’t until much later in life that he would try his first bite of Indian food. He began learning under an Indian home cook and went on to study with food archeologists and historians from across India.
Keith is the co-host of the More Than Masala Podcast as well as the chef owner of Aatma Restaurant & The Farmers Dinner.

@@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 3 ай бұрын

@@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 love the way you show our Indian food, like no other! You make anyone crave for it, sir! Thanks for your love. 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. Lots of love, regards and blessings from Karnataka, India. 🙂🤍💐

Visit the state of Karnataka, the cuisines of Bangalore, Mangalore, Coorg, Udupi have their own unique take that intertwines but have their own identity. There a definitely more regions but these regions comes to mind right now. 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.

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!

Sukka means dry in many Indian languages. I know this since, I happen to know a few Indian languages since most Indians are multilingual. Sukka means - Not gravy based. There are many dry masala based - sukka dishes especially in non-veg especially down south.

I'm just saying this out of goodwill, not to impose anything on purpose. A kind request to Americans: include Rasam in your food culture. Either try to have it like a soup or try to have it in a way you like. But don't change the core rasam recipe (Melagu Rasam); keep it the same. It is so good for your food culture. That's the very best food recipe you can learn from the southern part of India. Your stomach will love it, believe me. I don't know the actual facts. But here, RASAM is considered an immunity booster and the best digester. So, the foods you consume mostly depend on bread and meat. So, better consider mastering the Melagu Rasam recipe. Just try searching for Melagu Rasam (pepper rasam) on KZfaq, and you can find the recipe for the same. I just thought to suggest it to you guys, as it is a great take on our culture and will definitely be helpful to many of you.

Here's something you've probably never heard of Next you are in India try "Vangyachi Bhaji" or Brinjal Curry with "Bhakar" which is a rustic bread made with jowar (sorghum) or bajra (millet) flour, Very easy to find in Indian grocery stores. Along with "Jhunka" a yellow colour sabji, which is made of gram flour and serve with an onion.

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.
