Best channel to learn to make Indian food

[Anonymous No.18401878]

There's a lot of s0y boy channels about Indian food and I don't know where to start. I just want to make some dope ass indian food.

There's a lot of meme indian dishes like chicken tikka masala, but what are actually the best indian dishes?

I enjoy Vah Chef's videos. They go back to like 2007. He is a good chef and explains his methods. Has some recipes for Western-style dishes like butter chicken but mainly authentic Indian dishes.

One of the problems with this method is that it's like searching up something for American food or Chinese food. All three are hyper regional. Those regions think of their food as [country] food. It's [region] food. While Chinese Cooking Demystified does a pretty good job presenting authentic Chinese despite branding itself as a broad, Chinese food channel, if you watch the actual videos they're always talking about how what they prepare is specific to certain regions.

If you wanted American channels, you'd need to look instead for things that broke it down to regional types of American cuisine. And if you want good Indian resources, you'll be best served by doing the same with them. Otherwise you get "Indian food" which will just be Indian takeout, the few dishes imported to your country or made by Indian immigrants abroad.

If you want to make those, any channel will do. If you want to make traditional Indian food you'll have to get more specific.

Learn British style, then other people will enjoy it.
First learn a base gravy, then you can make almost anything from there.
This guy's channel is very authentic, very good UK Indian food.

Saying you want to make Indian food is like saying you want to make European food. There's a huge variety depending on what region you go to. North India has completely different cuisine to South India, and both differ to North-East Indian cuisine. Even neighbouring states have fairly different cuisine based on the geography of the land and the culture/traditions.

Generally, most Indian restaurants around the world outside of India are modelled after British-Indian restaurants. These tend to have a selection of dishes typically inspired by North Indian dishes although some were invented in Britain and are completely foreign to native Indians. If you showed the menu of a typical British restaurant to an Indian, they probably wouldn't recognise a lot of it. Having said that, this doesn't mean they are necessarily bad just because they're not "traditional".

The most intimidating part of Indian cooking is probably spices. Again, the spices used vary greatly depending on the region, with North-East Indian dishes using limited spices. Although there are some spices that are quite common and good to have around (mustard seeds, cumin, coriander, turmeric, red chilli powder, just to name a few). If you just Google "Indian Spice Guide" you'll find some fairly comprehensive beginner guides that explain what each one does. You can probably find these spices in your local supermarket and they generally can be kept for a few years so you don't need to worry too much about freshness (assuming they're kept in a cupboard where they're not exposed to moisture, light or lots of warmth).

Great BIR recipes, and he seems like an all-around pleasant dude.
I would also suggest Dan Toombs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSHLwj_QlIs
Yes he's a white American dude, but he has spent a ridiculous amount of time and study in researching Indian restaurants in the UK, talking to Indian chefs, etc., and his recipes and techniques are legit. The videos are good, but you can and should also find PDFs of his books on libgen, and those are really comprehensive.

Grandpa Kitchen is a good channel and their intention is also good. But the channel don't provide "authentic Indian dishes" that the OP expected.

[Anonymous No.18404358]

Not a youtube channel, but one of my favorite recipe websites is Indian Veggie Delight.

Bhavana (see picrel) gives very good instructions on how to make a good recipe in a way that is fast and relatively easy.

Especially if you have/want a pressure cooker, the recipes are absolutely great.

I thought Grandpa Kitchen was a virtue signaling channel.
Look here is some mediocre food but here are also some orphans so give us views for money.

It's like those people who film themselves giving a few hundred to homeless people to record their reaction. Meanwhile their video gets millions of views thus they earn thousands in return.

The more common name in the West is nigella, it's fairly easy to find in Asian spice shops.

Yeah this stuff will get your foot in the door on starting to make some indian foods, mainly the curries

>>18401903
>>18402074
honestly this >>18404182

the curries in the BIR system are all made from one curry grave base, where as in actual india the curries are regional based and have a bit of a twist, its just that in a first world country you can cook any regions curry with out the hassel of going from one region to another just for some spices.

the breads, the breads. dear sweet jesus they have some good breads
they also have a huge ass variety of single bite deep fried goodness
