I love this format where Ben gets to learn something new within a short timeframe. Great to see him challenged like this.

Karan to Ebbers is like how James is with the Normals! “I just really want him to do well” vibe ☺️

Karan trying to come in to help at 9:30 was so funny, he's like a super supportive parent that wants to make sure his child does well while the normals just wanted Ben to suffer

Always great to see Karan back, he's such a...gentle?...personality to add to the boys. And his cooking always looks amazing and seems easy when he gives instructions. I love it when they throw in the local "celebrity" chefs to come do bits like this. Like Poppy and James Curry. Just a shame I'm across the pond and can't go to their restaurants to taste it.

Hope you guys have Karan back. He's an absolute gem.

Can we take a second to thank Karan for the way he explained things at the beginning ? It was really easy to understand even from behind a screen. He described the flavour very well. Thank youuu !

As someone who makes dosas almost every day, a flat bottom cup is ok in a large hotel pan (or stone) but for home cooking, I always use a small round ladle. And the trick is to go in spirals in one continuous motion once the batter is in. You can't go back and flatten parts again.

Ben nailing that in under an hour is really impressive. I remember making dosas, when I was young, with my mother and utterly failing at every attempt. It's so great to see traditional South Indian food made properly with the love and respect it deserves.

Karan is incredible. Love having him in the studio. He adds to much not only in knowledge but also with his personality.

Now this is a quality format ! It's nice seeing Ben out in another kitchen ! Loved this

Karan is my favourite guest. He's awesome. Informative without being condescending. This was fun to watch.

Quote of the Day: “It’s really nice to see him get a dosa of his own medicine.”

Great job, Ebbers! Karan's a fantastic guest, so descriptive with such an iconic dish. Will definitely be stopping by Hoppers the next time I'm in London.

I love seeing Karan. He brings such a foundation of knowledge and has a ton of patience.

“This isn’t the safety of the Sorted kitchen.” You mean the one with the electronic coconut scraper, flamethrower, hotdogger and the retro sodastream? Not to mention Barry leaving random hobs on? 😉

I thought Karan was an awesome teacher and wonderfully represented the general Southern Indian way of Dosa and Chutney. And Ebbers was a fantastic Student and he did a splendid job. Loved the way you all respected the ingredients and the age old traditional techniques. Kudos to the entire team. 👍

I think Karan is my favourite guest chef you've had on. He's super passionate and charismatic and seems like he's genuinely nice.

I think Ben did a great job, and Karan is such a lovely guest! That coconut chutney looked AMAZING.

I love when you have Karan on. He is a fantastic teacher. And his passion for his food makes me want to learn more.

Granted, Ben has years of culinary experience so he has a leg up on learning new methods and cuisine. But I think anyone who learns a new skill and can make something passable in an hour is to be applauded, and the teachers especially applauded for making it so clear and informative.

Yes! This is fantastic. I love seeing stressy Ebbers! Karan is funny and lovely as always and it's always a treat when he's a guest. Please do more of these! I'd love Ebbers to take on 1 hour masterclasses from the various chefs you've met in London. Imagine who else has cast iron pans that need re-seasoning!

I always throw a couple of handfulls of red lentil into my tomato sauce for pasta, it has such a meaty flavour when used as a spice, and gives it a bit of texture and umami without adding any meat.

I can't wait to go to London and try some of these places. I would love a Sorted recommended food tour of London 🤓

As a south Indian following the channel, I loved the fact that you guys challenged Ben to learn to make the Dosas . Things I can add to the process, The restaurant griddle was quite hot and getting the tawa to a decent temperature is necessary to get the even browning, similar to that of a crepe, and you want to test the heat to a point whereby putting the oil and spreading it, then adding a bit of water, clears up by itself (Ben wiped it and didnt realise the pan wasn't as hot as needed). This is the stage you put the dollop of the better in the center of the pan and in a spiralling motion spread outwards to make the Dosa. The pan Dosa use the space and are generally more circular whereas those in restaurants tend to be bigger and elliptical, So I feel it was unfair for Ben to replicate it on the tawa, but great going on making the Dosa , but people would know that he made a fluffier type of dosa called Set Dosa. Cast Iron pans always require a decent amount of seasoning before Dosas stop sticking to the bottom. Also, Its about disperising the oil using a bit of water effectively at a temperature when the water drops dance on the pan surface.

keep bringing him back until he teaches how to cook a few whole meals! if there's one thing i love about indian food, its how delicious they make vegetarian foods and i think thats something that us here in America could use.

Shoutout to Prakash Dadosa for making the dosas look so easy and effortless! Clearly someone who has honed his craft and so cool to see Ben learn this new skill with such respect and patience!

This is exactly what I needed today. Thank goodness for Sorted!

I love this format so much! it's a combination of the badges and the work experience week from years ago!

That feeling when Sorted marathon is being interrupted by a new video... Happy to see Ben slightly nervous, but i'm his geeky element!

I love this and think Ben should do more of these. I also feel the pain of the having to re-season a pan. I love my skillets, but they can be a pain if they aren't well taken care of.

Karan is such a great guest. He is a wonderful teacher and such a nice voice ☺️

I love this! I miss the videos where you all get to go outside to touch grass and take us along. Will Mystery Night Out ever make a return? Maybe some 24 dishes in 24 hours?? Maybe some more London's Best???

First of all, thank you so much, Sorted Food for learning to make one of my favourite things to eat!!! 🥰 Genuinely, this was a great effort. Most of us spend years learning the dosa-making technique, and we grow up having it for breakfast/dinner. Ben did a great job of making dosas from just learning the technique in one hour. :) Also, it's notoriously hard to cook dosas without a gas flame because the heat can't be controlled as easily. The fact that Ben didn't burn any or have them underdone (easy mistakes to make) is a true moment where I think his chef skills shone through.

I love how positive and a great teacher Karan is. Love seeing him on the show again! He is lovely to watch.

Karan is fantastic, I'd love to see more of him on the channel!

Love the teaching energy that Karan has. this is a beautiful example of professionals teaching professionals.

I have never met Karan in my life and he still somehow feels like a friend, what a great guy to have in the videos!

Can this be a new series with a new country speciality dish every episode? I want to see Ben Master the Salvadorian Pupusa, Mexican Mole Poblano or even Laotian Laap

love this video format of ben learning new cooking styles! karan is also an absolute sweetheart and amazing guest, would love to see him again!

I love Karan trying so hard to help Ben make good dosas, but Barry and Jamie are just enjoying his struggle.

Karan is amazing, isn't he. So friendly, such a great teacher and presenter, amazing personality.

I love this new style! If you want to continue it in the future, maybe look into pasta making. Some shapes like lorighittas are a nightmare

Being an Indian, I am feeling very maternal and proud watching Ben learning to make Dosa and succeeding 🥺🥺

I love how helpful Karan wants to be all the time, so passionate about making really good food. And it does look so very very good.

Wonderful format. More of this! It’s really great to see a chef exploring new dishes and learn from other chefs.

You guys are really upping your game as of late with fresh concepts, production values etc. Love it!

This format is a keeper! I loved watching Ben gain a new skill. Karan is such a great teacher. He's so patient and encouraging. I love when he is a guest! Thanks, fellas!

Experiencing start when comfort zone ends and it's wonderful to see somebody just bravely go there and try new things 🤟❤️

Love seeing Ben get to have new experiences. I know it’s gotta be tough to find new inspiration and growth while staying at the same place with the same people. Ben is the kind of person who loves continuing education (I know bc I am too) and I’m glad to support him learning new things and being cheffy!

I love watching these videos daily. It’s so easy to get lost on this channel as they take you on a journey of flavour around the world, and some great laughs along the way too 🤣 Keep it up guys 👍🏻👌🏼

I always watch these videos while eating my dinner. Lately, I haven't had the energy to cook time consuming meals, so I am sitting here with my pasta pesto watching amazing food being created! Honestly, I cannot complain! You guys are amazing

This was an absolute pleasure to watch. Wish you guys would do more of these.

I love Karan. He is so wholesome and helpful. The guests are always a welcome sight.

I've been waiting to see Ben make dosas for a few years now and when I caught a glimpse of it upcoming on Instagram I couldn't wait! Please do show more south Indian foods. Dosas are brilliant, but so are the rasams, chitrannas (coloured rices eg. Tamarind rice/puliogare) and it's just a world of so many different flavours that vary even within districts of South India. Thanks to Karan for teaching the techniques and also demonstrating how different restaurant dosas are to home made ones.

Probably my 1st 1st comment on any channel, ever! Jamie's laugh at the end after Karans comment on gas just made it funnier. Had me giggling as well. 😂

What Ben did within a few hours of learning is really commendable... There are many who do it at home, who have been eating these for years altogether yet fail to make Dosa like those... Tempering that coconut chutney is an important step, without that, the chutney feels incomplete.

So pleased to see Karan back! He's so kind and knowledgable and has such chill vibes.

Great job Ben. It takes time to learn how to the spiral in one go, and the attempt is good. The type of pan and temperature is critical....in fact dosa (thosai) pan are usually hand-me-downs because it is well seasoned. Love this format of learning. Karan was an amazing teacher....can’t wait for the next one.

This was great! And I think Ben did a terrific job! I learned something alongside the chef, too. I hope you do more of these!

Love love love this video! Hope to see this become a regular series. Always entertained by Sorted

I’ve been watching sorted for over 10 years now and it warms my heart to see you guys try really hard to make something I’ve eaten since I was a kid. It’s been great being along for the ride

I love the guests on the show. They bring in another perspective and expertise. And it's never a competition but more sharing a passion for food, its preparation and the joy of eating it.

I love when Karan is on the show -- I always learn so much. Please continue to have him on the show!

It was a wonderful idea! It's lovely to see Ben learning some stuff from different traditions, already being well educated and using his skills and knowledge. Karan's advice were very simple and easy to understand, he's such a nice guest! I only wish Ben made the batter himself, I feel it's a critical part. I know it's complicated to shoot, but maybe it would be possible to record just Ben preparing the batter (and review the footage later with Karan, or video conf him just for the preparation) and use it the next day in the studio. Of course, the same for other time-needing ingredients, should you continue this format. The 'professional' batter could be at hand if the one (or a few different batches) made by Ben failed. It would be extremely helpful to see how to fix failed batter, or when it can be only discarded!

Ok, this video was a lot of fun to watch! Great idea, please keep moving forward with this series idea!

I really enjoy the way Karan and Ben interact - they both seem to have a teacher’s soul.

Karan...what a total gent! It's always a pleasure to watch people with great knowledge and skills, but it's the generosity of sharing that expertise and the desire to teach well and cheer someone on that is particularly charming.

really great to see the team get introduced to the tempering technique. it's quite common here in south asia :)

It's lovely seeing another passionate restaurant owner on the channel. They bring a whole another energy to the videos.

Why is “the safety of the sorted kitchen” such a sweet heartfelt sentence 🥹

Oh. You MUST do more of these videos! This was one of the funnest ones in a long time.

I'd love to see more of this! Chef learns from Chef is a great idea! Top marks to Ben for giving it a crack, as someone from Sri Lankan heritage, dosa is bloody hard to pull off for a first time

Kudos to Ben for jumping in and working so hard to learn it, and kudos to Karan for being kind and gentle with it!

Can already tell I'm going to love this format

I am just very happy to know that I have got one cooking skill better than Ben. (At least it was till yesterday)

oh watching the restaurant chef roll that into a cone was like watching the purest of art!!

With the cast iron pan sticking, you can lift it with vinegar and baking soda, heat the pan slightly and it should lift off without having to use soap or reseason the pan.

Absolutely love this new addition and will always love a Ben learning new things

Always love these videos. You guys are amazing. We found a place that served Dosa here tonight.. Trying it for the first time and branching out to even more that we've never tried.. Looks incredible.. Can't wait to try it!

Yeahhh it"s always a pleasure to see Karan! It was cool to see Ben sttressing a bit!

This is the video I have always been waiting for! Been wanting to learn how to make dosas and coconut chutney since years. This is great! Can't wait to try these myself!

Always love it when Karan comes to visit. If I am ever in the UK I am headed to Hoppers!

Loved this. It took me months to perfect the art of dosa making. It is also crucial to get the batter “right”. Different consistency and type of dosa batters need a different approach to spreading them.

Love this new format!!

Love this new format!

Good work Ebbers! I love that you are always willing to try something new and continue to learn😊

Absolutely in love with this format 😍

Karan is such a dude, love seeing him back 😊

Definitely more this please!

love this format.

What a great video hope to see more of those? You did a fabulous job learning how to make dosa. 100/10🏆

My favourite channel… thank you for the video I loved it!

Your videos are always the best💯 I do receive a notification each time you post a new video.. We'll have regrets for things we did not participate in...Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life.

What a great guest. Very fun show.

I LOVE this format! It needs to be a recurring thing!

Loved this video!! Was fun to see Ben in a new environment

They look really good. Nice job, Ben, with little time to learn it.

Karan is always a fantastic guest. Love to see him, how he plays off of Ben and the normals, along with the unique knowledge of cooking.

This was a good format and I think that Ben got it at least 85% perfect in the end. What the boys haven't picked up on yet is that this is now part of Ben's arsenal and that they soon might be expected to do it in a challenge xD

I really enjoyed this - not only is it nice to see Ben challenged but to learn the different techniques from different food cultures is always an interesting watch!
