  • - Hey! - Hello!

  • - and we are going to be feeding them the food

  • to feed them the food we grew up with.

  • So Indian food has like become really popular

  • in recent times around the world

  • but it's also mostly not Indian food, right?

  • it's always like butter chicken and naan.

  • - Roti and naan.

  • - Yeah.

  • - But there's no South Indian food.

  • - Around the world so we wanted to feed them

  • the food we grew up with dosa, idli, vada

  • and so many more things

  • so we're really excited to see their reactions.

  • - So there's a big Indian, South Indian expat community

  • in Mexico City, so they make good South Indian food,

  • so finding South Indian food in Mexico City was not hard.

  • We had so much fun eating South Indian food here

  • especially dosas, me, I wanted all the dosas.

  • So we decided okay why not show this food

  • to our Mexican friends,

  • and that's how this video came about.

  • So the food is ready, the Mexicans are ready.

  • (group cheers)

  • So let's get this party started.

  • - Before we start, if you're new here

  • we make food and culture videos from around the world.

  • We've been traveling and living

  • out of a suitcase for about--

  • - Three years. - Three years now.

  • We're very excited to be in Mexico

  • so make sure you hit the subscribe button

  • and also the bell button to be notified of our videos

  • and yeah let's start.

  • (rhythmic music)

  • - Actually there are some places here in Mexico that

  • serve Indian food but we have been told they are not

  • very traditional and some of them are not very good.

  • I have only tried Indian food once

  • in one of those restaurants so this going to be

  • a really new experience for me.

  • This looks like a doughnut.

  • This looks like, ah, like some kind of pastry,

  • like sweet pastry?

  • Idli, idli.

  • - Idli.

  • - Idli.

  • - Vada. - Vada.

  • - Doughnut-like.

  • - Coconut chutney, mango chutney.

  • - Chutney is the--

  • - [Ruchi] It's like our salsa.

  • - Salsa, okay.

  • Fluffy, airy, very soft.

  • Yeah so I will just tear apart a little piece

  • and then go first with the orange one

  • which I think is tomatoes.

  • It's kind of similar to a Mexican salsa.

  • (bell dinging) (laughs)

  • Really like I mean I can tell it is made

  • out of tomatoes, I can tell it has some chili in it.

  • I mean it's a little bit spicy.

  • - It doesn't taste like much.

  • Just a vehicle for chutney.

  • - What I Like is I like the fluffiness.

  • (bell dings) - This coconut chutney,

  • I like it a lot.

  • - Mmm I like this one a lot.

  • This one is my favorite one what is the name of this one?

  • - [Avi] Sambar.

  • - Sambar this one is the best for me.

  • - Sambar?

  • I want to have it like a soup.

  • (laughing)

  • (bell dings) I think that's the way I would

  • if I was an Indian person, maybe I would go like this.

  • (laughing)

  • I think this is my favorite combination.

  • The rice cake with the soup, bean soup, the Sambar.

  • - Mmm.

  • - Okay so I'm going to try it with the chutney now.

  • - The tomato chutney is spicy.

  • - I like this chutney.

  • You know it's weird because I expected

  • something totally different.

  • I expected like something sweeter.

  • - Like fresher, no?

  • - Maybe fresher.

  • You can feel the grinds of the coconut like

  • coconut particles in the chutney.

  • (bell dings) - I can see these

  • working on a breakfast.

  • Mmm they are really good, really delicious, I like it.

  • - [Avi] And this one is called upma.

  • - Upma. - Upma.

  • - I don't know what this is because it is not rice.

  • (bell dings)

  • I can see some orange bits here

  • I am guessing they are carrots.

  • And some other herbs.

  • - [Avi] Everything is put in--

  • - Is this mustard seed?

  • - [Avi] Yes, that's mustard seed.

  • - Mmm.

  • (bell dings)

  • - Wow! (bell dings)

  • I like it a lot.

  • - I'm gonna smell it first.

  • - At first it reminds me of tamales, right?

  • (bell dings)

  • Because tamales are also like this dough consistency

  • which is the same and it's spicy.

  • It has a punch.

  • Mmm.

  • Yeah so good.

  • Just because it is very good.

  • I will eat the whole thing.

  • - I will give this maybe a three out of 10.

  • - [Ruchi] Can you come from?

  • - Yeah, not a huge fan honestly.

  • - 10 out of 10, really good.

  • And I will mix the three of them.

  • - [Ruchi] Yeah that's--

  • - But this is not traditional I am sure.

  • - No, we mix. - We do that.

  • - Like our Indian viewers would be there

  • like "No, you don't do that!"

  • - No we mix. - No we mix everything.

  • - Ah, yeah?

  • - [Avi] Yeah, it's a personal choice whatever you like.

  • - Whatever I want, oh okay.

  • Because here in Mexico when you see a guy

  • mixing two types of salsas you get like

  • "What are you doing, don't do that."

  • (bell dings)

  • I mean you can do it.

  • It's fine but you will be classified as a weird guy.

  • - Pongal.

  • - Pongal.

  • - Mmm. (laughs)

  • - Mmm.

  • - Remember, remember guys when we told them

  • we were going to be honest? (laughs)

  • I don't think I like this very much.

  • - Yeah I think I have a better outlook

  • on this than you, Moises.

  • - I think I have to agree with Moises

  • (laughing)

  • it's like tasteless.

  • It's just a paste but it tastes like rice but...

  • - It's like a puree but the mixture

  • by itself doesn't have flavor.

  • This is really really, thank you.

  • - But it's not bad.

  • I would go five out of 10.

  • - Maybe four, four out of 10. (laughing)

  • - Imagine you just take like pieces of paper

  • and put sticky glue or water on it,

  • and then you mix it. (bell dings)

  • I am getting those kind of vibes with this.

  • - It's, well, I'm not going to give it an eight out of 10.
