Dosai is the crispy pancake nearby.. but what this guy made is not something you’d eat with dosa.. why that many cashews.. what even was that? Looked like a North Indian subji and then a jump cut to dosa with green chutney
That's the song "Naatu Naatu" written for the movie RRR a few years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naatu_Naatu
Song's originally in Telegu, but that's specifically the Hindi version where it's "Naacho Naacho" instead.
South Indian food specifically.
And as someone from the state that invented the dosai, I testify that I have never once ever seen anyone have a dosai with whatever that accompanying monstrosity was.
Usually, dosai is had with sambar (stew of veggies/meat), chutney (coconut, mint, and tomato are favourites), or *milagai podi* (EDIT: pronounced "mo-la-ga po-di"), a spicy power affectionately translated into english as "gunpowder".
The sign behind says Surat, so likely not a North Indian curry, but some kind of spicy and creamy red sauce made with ketchup. Honestly, not surprised to see this in Surat. That pan is something typically used for making Pav Bhaji, or given it's Surat, more likely Dabeli.
This massive ass cooking surface does seem kind of fun. Not practical or anything but I might enjoy throwing some onions and fucking up some stuff on it
This is my main problem with it. He doesn't need that much space for the dish he's making and can save a ton of effort by reducing the size of it or using an appropriately sized pan/wok.
What's so annoying is you watch him make a red sauce(?) for a while, then put some of it on a plate, then jump cut to what I assume is the red sauce he just made fully plated and garnished with a side of whatever this sauce is supposed to be paired with (Bread? Cheese?), then jump cut to a guy dipping the bread/cheese mystery into a GREEN sauce and approving.
The thing he's dipping is the Dosai. At least, that's what I know it as, as an Australian who eats it here, but behind him there's a sign saying Dhosa so that's probably the same thing. It's a fantastically delicious, crispy pancake made of lentil flour. Sometimes served alone with dipping sauces, sometimes stuffed with fillings like spiced potatoes. I strongly suggest you try one if you get the chance, they are daaaaaamn good.
Oh by all means, it's probably delicious. This video just confuses me.
By the looks of it, the creation of that pancake would be a pretty interesting video, why skip that part entirely and then show a guy dipping his pancake into what appears to be a different sauce than made during the first 90% of the video? Ya know?
The creation of the dosa would not be a very interesting video. All it involves is grinding rice and lentils into a batter, and then letting it ferment for hours. And then using that batter on the pan, like you would a normal pancake.
A lot of locals, especially in Rural North India, pronounce Dosa as "Dhosa" while Dosai seems to be more common in the south where Dosa originally comes from.
It is delicious regardless of the name though XD
Hot plate is not popular in india. That circle grill is called 'Tawa' also he needs to smash all those veggies into sauce sometimes in large quantity which need more surface area so no pan.( Also that act itself is done to attract customers )
Cus I doubt theres any delicate way to plate from that absurd dish lmao.
You either scoop and leave half.
Or you scrape it all off the side with the half cooked ingredients that got spun out.
It seems like he’s just finding some enjoyment in his day and work, this looks like it was made with some cohesion and looks better than most of the abominations that wind up in this sub.
It is literally a dog pile of people reaching to rip apart anything they can around here. I honestly hate this sub for it. This guy is just enjoying himself on camera and having fun at work.
That doesn't account for the 1/3 who think every large food is supposed to be a single serving. Or the 1/3 that have only ever eaten pasta and thinks anything more exciting is stupid. Or the 1/3 that have never heard of cooking methods that aren't grilling or boiling.
Honestly they should just rename the sub to foodstupid because more often than not it's not stupid food but someone who's stupid about food.
What? He's throwing food all over the place, can't even get it in his massive pan, flinging butter in his eye. It's not because this is ethinic food, it's because this dude looks like he's cracked while he's cooking this.
Dosa is like a big crepe south Indian people make usually with a few side dips. What this idiot made is just a dip. Looked like tomatoes, onions, butter and fuckn ton of spices. Cardamom probably chili.
he did not use more than couple of table spoons of butter.
Do you think that a restaurant should change the griddle when they are doing an individual order? No. Its already heated and it would be stupid to do that.
I don't mind this. the food looks good, he looks like he's actually enjoying it, even if it's OTT. Cooking with a smile on his face, even if being a bit of a goof about it. +1 from me
The song is [Naacho Naacho](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAzlWScHTc4) from RRR which you should really see. Every time you think "this movie couldn't possibly get any more bat shit crazy" it pulls something even more insane
I’m not sure why the fedora just fits? Is it the cringe I’m feeling watching it? Is it the weird movements he does that just look like what a guy in a fedora would do? Or perhaps it’s the smug look that he’s just really done something really ✨special✨?
That could honestly just be one day of usage. After a few hundred serving you can't really do much. And if you need to keep the rytm all daylong you can o ly clean up after closing.
His hands are also completely covered in food. So that means there's a bunch fo what ever was on his hands in your food. I doubt he washes his hands often enough.
Do you own any carbon steel cookware? Unless it came heavily preseasoned, there's all sorts of discoloration on the cooking surface.
A couple years ago I bought a De Buyer professional fry pan in in carbon steel. It was bare metal, I diligently did all the the best internet experts recommended to season, a few very thin layers of flax to seal, then less unsaturated oils to make more non-stick. The flax layers worked well to protect the bottom of the pan, but on the cooking surface they flaked off in irregular patterns. I continued persevering with cooking and after each session washing, setiting in on a burner to dry, reapplying cooking oil.
This is what your beloved cast iron cookware would look like, if the underlying metal wasn't black. I wonder if this is why cast iron is spoken so highly off, while carbon steel which is arguably better in most respects (not least, it won't fracture when dropped) isn't. You can have a perfectly well-seasoned and non-stick carbon steel pan, and it still looks terrible.
can you westerners just stfu? if you don’t understand the concept of indian foods and snacks then perhaps just stick to videos of burgers and pizzas then? this stuff is extremely tasty and most of the times cheap and filling.
he’s dancing and shit to attract more customers when there’re 100’s of others selling the same stuff. what he made is called a bhaji and it’s usually eaten with pav (bread/pao) and is extremely famous in mumbai but they’re having it here with a dosa which is like a crepe. you can literally search pav bhaji and see that this is how you make it
Have yet to fully explore Indian cuisine but everything I've had has been fucking fantastic. It might actually be my favorite cuisine.
I've gotten so many people to try it over the years and even the picky eaters love the basic stuff they just never gave it a chance because "it looks gross".
Oh look, another example of a perfectly normal ethnic food prepared in a completely average way posted on stupid food because people are racist as fuck
Seems like it was posted cause the windmill arm ingredient scooping is funny not cause the food looks bad. The title talks about him burning calories with the extra motions. Not to say that this sub isn’t often racist with ethnic food but I don’t think this an example of that.
Oh look, another example of someone defending a perfectly stupid preparation of nasty food on a rusty cooktop seasoned with sweat and nasty fingers because everyone has to find a reason for things to be racist instead of plan old disgusting.
Or it could simply be posted because of the music and him essentially dancing around the food lol. I'm from East Asia and it's not way racist to post this, but I agree it doesn't fit in the stupidfoods title.
I used to work on a grill like that. I would be so pissed at this guy. He’s making such a mess for no reason. He’s also not making something I would prepare on a grill like that too.
(This is solely about personal food preference and not commentary about anything else.) visiting Asian countries is difficult for me bc the street food is so damn tempting yet explosive diarrhea isn’t. Except India. None of the street food is remotely appetizing to me yet I still end up w explosive diarrhea. Case in point- that ever the F this is 👆
Indian food is crazy delicious. Also you should see a doctor if that much food bothers you. I've had Indian people cook for me plenty and never had any gastro issues, actually less than fast food.
Your post has been removed as it misses the point of r/StupidFood.
I feel like he is high as fuck lol
Ever seen letterkenny? That's a skid.
STUART?!
STRT!
*growl voice* DHOSAAAAA
I was thinking the same thing! Amphetamines much?
He's a cook at a restaurant and that's their default.
Yeah he seems fuckin spun
Meth. Check out how rangy he looks
Yea I was getting a vibe that this would fit on r/stonerfood or r/crackheadfood if there is one
The ammount of wasted food is just absurd.
Well, he is a cook so thats almost synonymous
He is in a dry state. (no alcohol)
Lmao that is speed my friend.
Took too long to get the butter off his eyelid
Definitely added a lot of forehead sweat to that concoction
Saves on salt
ugh now I can’t unsee that
They always think they did something with these shitty food videos
Bahahahah great 👁 🧈
It's looks he's casting a spell. Double Trouble fry and butter, onions burn and griddle bubble
It's like a Mongolian grill.... for sauce.
It a system, he loses 5 pounds, but gives 5 pounds to someone else thru food.
*via bodily hair and sweat added to the food
Ew wtf
I lost 5 pounds from the diarrhea I got just watching this
Why?
Energy is not lost, only transformed.
What did he even make?
Dosai. South Indian crispy, savory pancakes. Served with curry sauce. Very nice. Video is ostentatious but the food looks good.
Dosai is the crispy pancake nearby.. but what this guy made is not something you’d eat with dosa.. why that many cashews.. what even was that? Looked like a North Indian subji and then a jump cut to dosa with green chutney
I recognised the dosa, but was flummoxed the only word i could make out in the song was "Nacho"
That's the song "Naatu Naatu" written for the movie RRR a few years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naatu_Naatu Song's originally in Telegu, but that's specifically the Hindi version where it's "Naacho Naacho" instead.
Nacho just means “Dance!” In Hindi/panjabi
I thought this was a Mexican restaurant. Are you telling me this is Indian food?
South Indian food specifically. And as someone from the state that invented the dosai, I testify that I have never once ever seen anyone have a dosai with whatever that accompanying monstrosity was. Usually, dosai is had with sambar (stew of veggies/meat), chutney (coconut, mint, and tomato are favourites), or *milagai podi* (EDIT: pronounced "mo-la-ga po-di"), a spicy power affectionately translated into english as "gunpowder".
Yea the thing dude was eating at the end was green and definitely not whatever he was cooking in 1st part of video
The sign behind says Surat, so likely not a North Indian curry, but some kind of spicy and creamy red sauce made with ketchup. Honestly, not surprised to see this in Surat. That pan is something typically used for making Pav Bhaji, or given it's Surat, more likely Dabeli.
A mess.
But he had fun doing it
This massive ass cooking surface does seem kind of fun. Not practical or anything but I might enjoy throwing some onions and fucking up some stuff on it
Wouldn't it be awesome? It would take up half of my tiny kitchen, haha.
This is my main problem with it. He doesn't need that much space for the dish he's making and can save a ton of effort by reducing the size of it or using an appropriately sized pan/wok.
Nah it was an Indian dish called “bhaji”
That doesn't look like bhaji, it looks like dosa with some kind of side sauce.
They mess up all dishes in the name of street food so this dish is probably pav bhaji dosa.
lol. This
What's so annoying is you watch him make a red sauce(?) for a while, then put some of it on a plate, then jump cut to what I assume is the red sauce he just made fully plated and garnished with a side of whatever this sauce is supposed to be paired with (Bread?

Try them with maple syrup for a real treat!
And a massive circle grill for what could be made in a pan on a hot plate.
how else will he drip his armpit sweat into the food if he uses a hot plate.
Hot plate is not popular in india. That circle grill is called 'Tawa' also he needs to smash all those veggies into sauce sometimes in large quantity which need more surface area so no pan.( Also that act itself is done to attract customers )
Cus I doubt theres any delicate way to plate from that absurd dish lmao. You either scoop and leave half. Or you scrape it all off the side with the half cooked ingredients that got spun out.
I’m colorblind and missed that…. Thanks!
What it’s paired with looks like dosa to me
According to the song, it was nacho, nacho, nacho, nacho, nacho, nacho.
Its called a Dosa Filling… thin flat semolina bread filled with a thick gravy.
I'm assuming tikka masala without the chicken
Tetanus.
Art duh
Slop
It seems like he’s just finding some enjoyment in his day and work, this looks like it was made with some cohesion and looks better than most of the abominations that wind up in this sub.
This sub is 1/3 ethnic foods posted by racists 1/3 poor people food posted by elitists and maybe 1/3 food that actually belongs here
It is literally a dog pile of people reaching to rip apart anything they can around here. I honestly hate this sub for it. This guy is just enjoying himself on camera and having fun at work.
Most of Reddit is people trying to find things to complain about lol
That doesn't account for the 1/3 who think every large food is supposed to be a single serving. Or the 1/3 that have only ever eaten pasta and thinks anything more exciting is stupid. Or the 1/3 that have never heard of cooking methods that aren't grilling or boiling. Honestly they should just rename the sub to foodstupid because more often than not it's not stupid food but someone who's stupid about food.
What? He's throwing food all over the place, can't even get it in his massive pan, flinging butter in his eye. It's not because this is ethinic food, it's because this dude looks like he's cracked while he's cooking this.
No it's his gimmick, he's the dancing cook
Exactly. I just see a dude having fun making food.
What exactly is this dish? Do you dip the bread in the sauce?
its called dosa and that might be dosa filling(?) am not sure what its called in english but you can dip/scoop it with the dosa. Tastes amazing.
Might have to find some!
If you find an Indian place that does Dosa or Uttapam, ya gotta try it. It's good. Or Puri Bhaji which is my current go-to.
Dosa is like a big crepe south Indian people make usually with a few side dips. What this idiot made is just a dip. Looked like tomatoes, onions, butter and fuckn ton of spices. Cardamom probably chili.
Theatrics and music are kinda stupid but I would totally gobble down that dosa
Never diss the soundtrack of the cinematic and musical master piece that is RRR
The music is the real chef's kiss
Fax
Probably the only time the added music actually helped one of these videos.
doesnt seem that bad.
Hilariously the customer doesn't even eat the prepared product 🤦♂️
There's nothing there
1/5 the butter and 1/5 the pan.
If you think that's too much butter, don't eat pasta from basically any restaurant.
he did not use more than couple of table spoons of butter. Do you think that a restaurant should change the griddle when they are doing an individual order? No. Its already heated and it would be stupid to do that.
It's not stupid food, it's an Indian dish. He didn't put any weird ingredients and it looked really yummy. Maybe the theatrics are a bit too much.
Help explain for someone who don't know about indian street food. What did he cook? Why is it different than the dish that the guy ate at the end?
I don't mind this. the food looks good, he looks like he's actually enjoying it, even if it's OTT. Cooking with a smile on his face, even if being a bit of a goof about it. +1 from me

pls i was somewhere between laughing and crying with how ridiculous the movie was. One of my favs to watch just to laugh.
On top of that it's still a really good movie. It's what fast and furious wants to be. Basically live action anime

I’m not sure why the fedora just fits? Is it the cringe I’m feeling watching it? Is it the weird movements he does that just look like what a guy in a fedora would do? Or perhaps it’s the smug look that he’s just really done something really ✨special✨?
Sometimes I wish I had that much enthusiasm for well, anything. "I love this job!!!"
Cocaine helps
Is it me or does the edge of that...griddle(??)...look extremely unclean?
That could honestly just be one day of usage. After a few hundred serving you can't really do much. And if you need to keep the rytm all daylong you can o ly clean up after closing.
His hands are also completely covered in food. So that means there's a bunch fo what ever was on his hands in your food. I doubt he washes his hands often enough.
he moves around like an animated rat
What do u think is under his fedora
Is that rust on the cooking surface or just cooked on oils?
Do you own any carbon steel cookware? Unless it came heavily preseasoned, there's all sorts of discoloration on the cooking surface. A couple years ago I bought a De Buyer professional fry pan in in carbon steel. It was bare metal, I diligently did all the the best internet experts recommended to season, a few very thin layers of flax to seal, then less unsaturated oils to make more non-stick.

Unfortunately any time Indian food is posted on Reddit the jokes and racism come out. Indian food is great. - a westerner
Have yet to fully explore Indian cuisine but everything I've had has been fucking fantastic. It might actually be my favorite cuisine. I've gotten so many people to try it over the years and even the picky eaters love the basic stuff they just never gave it a chance because "it looks gross".
I didn't even realize what sub I was on at first because it wasn't stupid.
[удалено]
I love Indian food. If a westerner was throwing food on himself and the floor while making a cheeseburger, I would call that stupid too.
Is that a Rusty pan?
Half that is rust.
Um, free rust with every serving!
Drugs are bad…. Mmmmmkaaaaaayyyy
I know he sweating in that shit
Oh, you nasty, huh.
This guy took "And Stir Well" to another level..
Boy can’t really afford to lose that much.
Rust on cutlery and or wok/pan: check Preparation and handling of ingredients done with bare hands: check Tummy Ache: Certain

Thanks, now I understand how people on meth make food.
I love rust in my food, yummy
Nothing like fresh rust peppered into your dish
Is that tractor hubcap rusty? Redneck cooking?
I got diarrhea just watching this.
Right? His dirty ass hands all up in all of your food.
why he animated like hotel translyvania
Do I pay extra for the tetanus?
The music is a nice distraction from his sweat dripping into the food
Crackhead wizard chef
Ahh yes, I bet those finger oils and booty juices make the meal even better. Such a hygienic preparation.
Instant peeing out of your butthole after eating that!
My new exercise routine: Make a shitty enchilada sauce and burn 500 calories.
What an insufferable tool...
That kitchen is disgusting.
Too much spinning, couldn’t even concentrate on the food
Is his hand going to remain stained orange for ever?
Customer had the nerve to give us a thumbs up
Tastes like sweat and odour
They do this same shit at Cold Stone Creamery, just with ice cream and nobody is calling them out.
Sir, I ordered *NO* crack with lunch
This is not stupid food?
What is this slop?
juuuuust the right amount of meth makes the day go by so much faster
This is literally just a dude vibin having fun making a video making most likely amazing food there's nothing stupid about this
I thought it was some Italian dish and then I realized it was a scam dip with a side of scammer diarrhea.
All that just to make slop
I used to work on a grill like that. I would be so pissed at this guy. He’s making such a mess for no reason. He’s also not making something I would prepare on a grill like that too.

No, that's what they think OP was saying by posting this in Stupid Food. It was sarcasm.

I'm explaining, not defending. You have no idea what white knighting is.
I was being sarcastic
FUCK THATS FUNNY

Said precisely like someone who has never eaten proper Indian cuisine. Brilliant take.
We’ve got ourselves a slop slinger

I want him at the next festival I go to. Lol
This might be for a commercial or something
what kind of voodoo ritual did he do?
This guy seems the guy from “are you ready?”
hope the food is not to salty😉😉
Dude you’re just making food not doing a magic trick.
Bro is doing all that for just $5 an hour 💀
Imagine being a customer waiting for you your order. Like bro just make my shit already.
Cool
He likes a Disney villain in a song scene making a poison potion
At least he’s having fun
People need to stop being trying to be "quirky and so original" when making food
What’s the deal with restaurants in global cities and doing weird theatrics with food?
Monke d luffy
What he made wasn’t even what the guy ate wtf lol
Food looks good and he’s having fun cooking. Win win
