so let's get started good morning good morning guys greetings from bengaluru

india today we're hungry and we've brought our appetites we're going to be

having south indian breakfast at an institution behind us it was

basically called ctr and also known as saga yeah it's one of the most sought

after tipping rooms in the city and people have been coming here for

years and so popular that people come from over 50 kilometers just to have a

breakfast so we're here today to check out their

dosa their tasty and

the coffee oh my gosh i can't wait

all right it's show time we waited about 15 minutes now we got a table

hi you

another day another delicious soup indian breakfast i'm so excited for this

we've ordered a whole bunch of different things but the first two dishes have

arrived we kicked off breakfast with chow chow

badh which is a combination of two semolina dishes

we had keisari bad which is a sweet version with various spices and dried

fruits and kerapad which is the savory version

with chili curry leaves and coconut chutney for

extra spice

you got your sweet over here and you have your spicy over there you mix them

together you get a chow chow chow chow bag i

can't wait for you to try the combination as well

oh my gosh okay let's dig in

oh my gosh our coconut chutney is incredible yeah it's so rich and spicy

and then the consistency of this it's like a savory polenta kind of

it has a mushy mash consistency all right shall we try the sweet one too

let's go okay i see a big piece of fruit

right there wow look at the raisins

that's like almost like a dessert yeah it's delicious

oh my gosh i love this i absolutely love it and we still have a dosage to come

yes then it was time for doses the dosa had

a nice crispy golden brown exterior and it was very spongy and fluffy on the

inside it was stuffed with potato masala with

chili shallots and curry leaves this was paired with a coconut chutney

and a spicier chili mint coconut chutney it was quite similar to the previous

day's breakfast but also unique since every restaurant gives this dish its own

twist so the star of the show has arrived the

main event for breakfast here we have two different kinds of dosas so

what kind did you get so i just went for the regular plain

vene dosa okay and uh yours is the beni masala open it

you have the potato let's lift the hood here there

you go oh wow look at the potato right there

and you can see how crispy yeah it's very crispy and dense

like when you're touching it you can actually hear the crunch of the

crispiness we've been having amazing doses on this trip to india

like it changed my opinion of what my favorite breakfast is in india

it's it's not peranta or something it's dosa absolutely hands down

grabbing some of this with the coconut oh my god

how could something taste that good david what are we gonna do when we can't

have dosa anymore luckily i know a few indian restaurants

in miami that do it for me and i'm just out of luck where my wife

where my wife is staying in brampton is a big indian population

oh so i'm gonna have to look for some doses there make some friends over there

check out this line this place is perpetually packed

there's always a line there's every table full and for good reason the food

is wonderful

after breakfast we said goodbye to abhishek and made plans to meet up again

later for dinner in the meantime we met up with anishwara

and continued our food tour of bangalore (bengaluru) so let's head to george street today for

some good iced coffee yes at indian coffee house sounds great

then we'll figure out the rest of the day

so walking down church street here it's a pretty posh area

and there's a lot of restaurants a lot of greenery

church street is located in bangalore (bengaluru) central business district

and it's a popular tour spot given all the food options and shopping available

we're going for coffee and if there's one thing that i've

missed not really having very often in india

chug and done

are you crazy that's your second one i know

it's perfect i'm awake ready to go

having cooled off we continued exploring church street and checked out some of

the cool murals with street art you can find in the area

after a bit of walking we were ready to eat again this time we went to nagarjuna

a restaurant specializing in andhra cuisine

all good restaurants in india have what in common a big queue a big queue the

reason for that is because there's so many people in india all these cities

are like 10 million people yeah so the good restaurants they're

packed packed check out this one of the coolest things about this

restaurant is the menu is shaped like a banana leaf

check that out it's so cool open it up and here are some of the main meals that

you can get served on a banana leaf it was freaking

hot it was how are you guys enjoying the ac

in here

we ordered a banana leaf tally with a whole bunch of different curries to try

to give you a little tour of the banana leaf we had chicken nagarjuna

with lots of spices rice with ghee doll with spinach

peanut chutney sambal rasam papad and more

let's dig in

look at this wonderful spread so it's all here

on the banana leaf like there's so much going on

i wouldn't say it's overwhelming it's exciting it's exciting

so this is gun powder oh gun powder gum powder so you put it okay don't mix

it with like all of your eyes so i'm separating my rice

make sure you have a ufc in that rice i've got some ghee in there and just

go to town right mix it up yeah your favorite part

my favorite part i feel like when you do this you're like you're earning your

bite right here you know you're putting some work into it

okay give give gives the rice some extra flavor and delayed onset of spice too

over here

okay you want to try the chicken i do i do i respect that you're going to find

it too spicy okay

oh that's great smoke no yeah smoking on the outside

tender i wouldn't say it's that juicy it has more of like that smoky tandoori

taste okay the spice is starting to hit

i always feel like i'm i'm a little bit cocky i'm like oh that's not so spicy

and then i have by the second or three buttermilk oh

yeah i've noticed that yep that's rasam that's gonna be more

sleepy more soupy okay pour in just a little bit just a little

bit this time it went it went overboard last time oh i

think i went overboard again i just can't help it with the currys i

spill them on the rice it's kind of like kind of light so as you start with a

heavy stuff heavy raining of your meal right

and then slowly like it it gets light and then you cool down with curd rice

oh it's purely strategic yeah it's very strategic

yeah you're right that's very light it does have taste but it's not

it's not strong it doesn't hit you that hard so what what exactly is inside

it has it's basically rice pudding rice pudding yeah it has

like um cashews cashews some dry fruits okay so it's going to be a little bit

nutty and fruity and it's like creamy it's very creamy i see

a big cashew very creamy oh yeah and again it's cooling it's

cooling things down yeah our next stop that afternoon was

kabun park to walk off that meal all right guys so we've arrived at the

next station it was only one stop it cost 10 rupees beautiful beautiful

system it's brand new apparently it's only been in operation for a short time

it actually reminded me of the sky train in bangkok beautiful

modern anyways there was extremely tight security when they saw that we had

cameras we had to go through security and

basically sign something saying that we would

keep our cameras in our bags so we couldn't film any of the journey

unfortunately but what i can tell you is that it's a

great way to get around the city as soon as you enter the park you can see that

they have a military jet on the right side

and it seems to be like a well-manicured path

so yeah i'm not sure what we're gonna do but it's nice to be here

and you know this area like this entire place yeah

is usually the dog park on sunday so there's like people with all their dogs

coming here and like it's like a social dog event yeah

it's a lot of fun and you were so right about the temperature so

much cooler here i could just hang out here all day yeah

let's go check out the bamboo area yeah let's do it

that evening we met up with abhishek to go on a nighttime food tour of

frasertown

so you know some great spots around here what are we gonna have tonight

so we're gonna start off with some really nice beef rolls yep out here and

then we're going to move on to trying some butter chicken some shawarmas and

then end with some chai oh my gosh that sounds so delicious

let's stop talking let's start eating

okay guys i'm starting off with the chic samba roll and this is a behemoth of a

wrap take a look at this thing it is just

absolutely jacked with ingredients wrapped in a roti roll

oh yeah if you've been craving meat you got to come here and try that so this is

loaded with me so flavorful also spicy and onions give it a little bit of

juiciness too the flatbread has been rolled around twice

it's so compact in every bite like if you're hungry

and you can eat all of that that's like a meal in your hand

it's so thick and big just look at how much is inside of them

so we've been walking down the street for a little while and yeah there's just

so many options for food it's the kind of place you don't want to

fill up on your first bite because there's so many tasty treats on the

street and yeah i think we're just going to
