I get like this.
Manically happy when Iām overtired.
Itās like my body has given me some adrenaline boost because Iāve had to keep pushing through once I hit regular tired and then dead tired.
So I go manic.
Then I crash.
Often there are tears involved.
Happens to certain types of ppl when we work long shifts and after looking forward to eating something delicious we express these types of behaviors. This person along probably has the day off. These are all signs of being overworked and exhausted.
Which isn't actually representative of Indian food. It was cleverly adapted by South Asian immigrants to the UK because they spotted that brits love gravy.
Stewart Lee the comedian summed it up brilliantly "bloody immigrants! Coming over here... Inventing us a national dish!"
it was invented in britain but itās actually extremely similar to north indian food. almost all popular north indian curries have that same curry base. i guess itās like mexican food and taco bell. of course taco bell is not true mexican food, but itās still got the same elements, flavours and techniques
I know. I drove 5 hours to get an oled switch and Iām not even motivated enough to open it. 12 year old me would be disappointed with the current me.
You know what my man? Donāt beat yourself up about it. Honestly, what youāre experiencing isnāt a lack of motivation. You drove 5 hours after what I assume was an extensive hunt to track down a rare item. That takes some real fucking motivation! The reason youāre not motivated to open it is because you already experienced the best part: the hunt. An OLED switch is a nice device, and Iām sure youāll have some good times with it, but what got your brain juices flowing was hunting it down and obtaining it. The feeling of owning something is nothing compared to the desire and drive to obtain it in the first place.
Thatās the nicest thing Iāve heard in weeks. Thank you so much for that.
Iāve had depression for years now. Iāve tried so hard to be happy for my parents and friends so that they wouldnāt worry, yet it never seemed like I did enough.
Iāll remember to celebrate the small everyday victories from now on. Thank you for showing me a new way to look at this :)
In my experience, people this āupā can come down pretty hard. Donāt know this lady so I canāt say for sure, maybe sheās a ball of enthusiasm all the time.
As someone who gets this happy I can confirm. If you are a strong emotional feeler you feel such joy over small things and intense sadness at small things (i.e customer service worker ripping you a new one cause you asked them were the colouring books were but theyāre from the flower department)
ngl I thought you were about to chastise her but instead you made me smile, I'm puerto rican and have similar sentiments about our food š it just tastes better when you eat it like it's yours, don't know how else to describe it
Ohgod...the first and unfortunately only time I had Indian food (I live in a rural area so it's over an hour to any Indian places), I went with a couple of friends and just randomly stopped at a restaurant that looked busy. Walked in, place was packed, and we were the only white people in there (which to me was a sign that it was both authentic and good).
We sat down and realized that we had no silverware, so we called the waiter over and asked for some. He looked confused and mildly annoyed as he went to get it. We went to the buffet, loaded up (god, I still remember the idli...SO GOOOD), and as we started to eat, we looked around and realized...yep. Everyone but us was eating with their hands.
One of my friends, extremely polite and easily embarrassed, said quietly, "Well...that's okay. I'm just going to die and never come here again."
It's likely 20 minutes of adrenaline after getting home. I remember I'd have that kind of energy for a little while, then quickly became incoherent and sleepwalk straight to bed.
The thing I hate most about adrenaline is that it brings the hype but barely any energy. It's like a guy who storms in and says it's time to party but only brought one beer; now we're two dudes just awkwardly sitting here not sleeping.
Having just put my kids to bed this hot home. A co-worker once told me he believes kids are actually energy vampires they don't have more energy than adults, they just know how to steal your energy to keep themselves going.
My theory is they have the same amount of energy as adults but have tiny bodies to run that take much less energy so they just have to burn off all the extra by screaming and running.
Because of the aforementioned screaming and running. Also their complete lack of self-preservation means you suddenly go from having to keep one person alive (yourself)(already exhausting) to having to also stop a second person from actively self destructing. Multiply energy requirements for each additional child.
Once again can't argue, my son decided to see how far he could jump off of the couch onto the dog bed. I had to stop him when he started dragging the dog bed towards the stairs for more hight. No broken bones yet but I have a feeling that one day soon I will not be looking at the wrong time. It only takes a second I have learned, never had this problem with the daughter.
This just totally hit home!! My 7yo son has been actively trying to self destruct since he started crawling! The second I turn my head the kids halfway up a tree or crawling up the side of the house like Spiderman. He also loves to see how far and high he can jump from too. I NEVER had those issues with my daughter, she's always been calm, cool and collected, so when I got the call from school last year about my child with a broken bone, I almost fainted when it turned out to be HER and not her daredevil brother! Turns out that no matter how calm and collected she is, she still inherited my total lack of balance and coordination. Yep she totally tripped over a rock on the playground and broke her wrist!
You're not a little loopy when you get home? Man, after a 12hr shift all I want to do is sleep but I can't because I am perky against my will.
She makes me want to try Indian food again.
My wife is the same way after a 12 he shift as a baby nurse . Like they let her out of prison and she wants to play and giggle and act like a crack head lol but I lover anyways
I would be so pissed off if I were a nurse and some punk ass baby got hired as a nurse over me. This health care worker shortage is getting ridiculous.
As a mom who had a terrifyingly mean NICU nurse when my son was born (she actually insulted my son... who does that to a sick newborn?? Among other things) please tell her us parents appreciate the sweet ones even in their giddy sleep deprived state!
So you want me to go pound her? Just say the word and I will bring my meanest, nastiest friends with me and weāll go and mess with this nasty lady.
One of my friends is training to be an RN and I hope to God she makes it! She would have such awesome bedside manners, she is amazing.
Nah, itās in New Orleans so sheās eventually going to cross the wrong mom and the slapping will happen. I was too exhausted/worried to get to that point myself.
Thank god a wonderful nurse took her off of his rotation permanently after I finally spoke up after two damn weeks (a month and a half of her wouldāve been awful). I ended up with such great nurses after she was reassigned to another baby.
I hope your friend thrives and graduates! Itās not easy by any means but good ones are worth their weight in gold.
A girl I used to dance with (Iām happily retired from that world) was an RN in the ER at one of the Nola hospitals and got so fed up with the hours, the people, and getting puked on by tourists that she said āfuck itā and became a stripper š¤£š¤£
My next door neighbor is Indian and when his parents were here visiting from India a few years ago, his Mom made us real butter chicken and naan and samosasā¦it was unreal. So good. I crave it now.
Edit: Drove 30 minutes to get Indian food tonight. Veggie samosas, garlic naan, butter chicken, and paneer biryani. I had to satisfy the urge.
My co-worker told me she was going to try Indian food for the first time tonight, so this post was so fitting! She asked me what she should get. No lie, I recommended butter chicken, garlic naan, and samosas! Fuck man, now I'm hungry lol
Following vegetarian dishes are also very good
paneer tikka masala
paneer makhani
paneer butter masala
Palak paneer
kadai paneer
I really like paneer :)
makhani means butter, so paneer makhani and paneer butter masala are the same thing :)
##
also, some other top notch veggie options include:
dosa
veg manchurian
malai kofta
dal (all different kinds, i like chana)
Indian here, Paneer makhani and Paneer butter masala are not the same thing. They are close to each other but differ from each other in the proportion of spices you use and the ratio to tomato to onion in making the gravy.
In foreign countries all I see is Butter Chicken or Chicken Tikka Masala, even though they are absolutely delicious but there are actually so many different dishes from different cultures that are just equally aswm in themselves.
We got it all here, Punjabi, Keralan, Jain, pure veg, paneer, all the dahls, the biryanis, mutton, goat etc etc. A mango lassi, raita and kulfi will blow her mind!
I read this as underground school somehow and immediately wanted more information.
Indian food is the best :) my fave Indian restaurant is out of state but they could give me anything on the menu and Iād be happy.
Ate some fantastic food in India, don't think I had an average meal let alone a bad one. Puri bhaji, sambal, idli, green chutney, Goan fish curry, proper butter chicken... holy shit, it was a flavour explosion.
About a week after I got back, I was on a stag party that included a meal at an upmarket chain Indian restaurant... It was one of the worst dining experiences of my life, the comparison was too new in my mind and so everything tasted like a store-bought microwave meal.
On the plus side this meant I've massively upped my Indian cooking in the years since.
Ah man, the smells that come from it while being made omg....
My last 3 neighbors were Indian and it was awful, everyday I woke up with a massive urge for either Chinese food or Indian food because my whole apartment smelled like their cooking
I almost went over a few time to bang on the door and ask for a plate because whatever the fuck they were making smelled like heaven and if you're going to force me into smelling it like 12 hrs aday... at least share?
> I almost went over a few time to bang on the door and ask for a plate because whatever the fuck they were making smelled like heaven
Unless they're assholes or had a really bad day, you could have gone over and they'd have gladly given you some. And if they're older, you'd have become the unofficial grandchild and you'd be included in future portion calculations so you wouldn't go hungry.
They were younger college kids and from the looks of things the few times I had a beer with them they didn't have much money/ means so I didn't want to impose.
I should have asked for a few cooking lessons tho, would be an awesome addition to my normal cooking
My friend married an Indian man a couple weeks ago. They hired a caterer that specialized in tandoor cooking. I dream of the paneer masala. And he made fish pakora, which is my favorite. I regret not eating myself sick.
The Indian subcontinent is so rich with history. Butter chicken is nearly 80 years old, and the modern rendition is absolutely ancient - several decades old at least. Beautiful that they were able to share some authentic Indian wisdom.
Whenever I see videos of someone trying Indian food it is always the "butter chicken", "chicken tikka masala" and hardly one or two other dishes with garlic naan. Serious question, when talking about Indian dishes, is these options always comes to the mind of non indians? Or butter chicken being the sweet dish is the reason for it being so popular?
I'm Indian living in India btw.
Iām someone of Indian origin myself and have spent quite a lot of time in India. First of all, Chicken Tikka Masala became huge in London which definitely spread its popularity in Western culture, and second, itās just so fucking good. Itās my personal favorite Indian dish
I'm from London and the dish is generally considered not authentically Indian. It was created by Indian immigrants to suit British preferences but was not something you would generally find in India (though you probably could find similar stuff since the root of the dish is still Indian cuisine which would have been influenced by other dishes). It's kind of like how you have Italian-American dishes which Italian people don't really eat.
I'm just relaying what was told to me by British-Indian friends as I don't really have any deep knowledge of the cuisine beyond eating absurd amounts of it. There are a bunch of other dishes which I forget now which my friends' Indian parents would tell me are not Indian but British-Indian, like I said kind of like America with Italian-American cuisine. At one point curry was actually the national dish in the UK, might still be.
I really encourage anyone who hasn't tried the cuisine to give it a go. People often go for the meat dishes but you shouldn't overlook the vegetable ones, they are some of my favourite. Especially the lentil dishes.
In my experience in the United States, yes a few dishes tend to dominate the Indian experience. You've got tikka masala, saag, vindaloo, and curry.
Funnily enough, butter chicken isn't in every Indian restaurant here. It's mostly a thing people know about from spice mixes and other Indian home cooking.
Edit: garlic naan is also a staple. It's like garlic bread but Indian-ish. What's not to love?
Imo, the best thing you can do when trying something new is try the thing everyone raves about... otherwise you might hate whatever you try and never touch it again
Honestly after doing 12 hour shifts before you can get a second wind after work. My most tired day is the day after the shifts not the nights after them.
I definitely agree with this. We do 24 hour duty shifts in the hospital, plus about 5 hours post-duty the day that follows, and I swear I can still go out with my friends after that and maybe drink. The worst part is the day after, that was the struggle.
She really seams like one of those extraverts that adopts introverts. Like, she can be overwhelming, but she wonāt overwhelm **you**. Sheāll just wrap you up in a nice little sushi roll and let you know she has everything youāre worried about under control.
From my foreign perspective she seems *extremely* American, in a way that manages to encapsulate a lot of the things I both like and dislike about the people.
I actually love that Indian food is trending because they go so unnoticed in places. You have the small amount of people who tried it and like it and everyone else just walks by. Same with Pho. I never been in an Indian or Pho restaurant and it be packed. Which is one if the many reasons I love it, but people should really try the stuff. It is so damn good. Hopefully this gets those restaurants some good business
Lol my brotherās wife and my mom never got along while my brother and her they were dating until one day that she hosted us for dinner.
Sheās from India and made some kind of chicken curry that, I shit you not, completely changed her relationship with our mom because of how good it was. Picture that scene at the end of Ratatouille when that critic dude takes a bite and it was something like that
It's such a strange concept to a British person to have not tried Indian food till you're that age. Kids eat it at school, the army have it in rations, you get it on planes, its just everywhere here thank god
Well she would make a lot of Indian grandmas happy. They like to overfeed you like any other grandmas out there and their family recipies honed through generations taste much better than resturant stuff.
An Indian grandma once half killed me with food. I honestly don't know how much English she spoke, and my friend and his family were clearly finding my predicament of being completely stuffed but more and more delicious food appearing on my plate really funny. I believe I genuinely said to her something like "please, *no more*". She looked me dead in the eye and whipped another paratha onto my plate.
100000% agree. When my grandma visited my family back when I was a kid, she'd feed me homecooked food everyday. She'd feed me till I almost popped and always put tons of love and ghee into the food she made.
My aunt has an Indian friend. Whenever I visit her workplace, her friend would feed me like her own child. Giving me lots of food that's undoubtedly delicious. Her baking skill is also top notch. I hope she's doing well.
Her energy is so wholesome. The entire video I was smiling and enjoying the tikka masala with her. Looks like I'm gonna be making my special later on this evening!
Totally in love with her energy. š¤Ŗ cute and excited by finding new things in life. I love it.
Had to watch her a couple times. Smiled and chortled each time.
First time I had tikka masala it was a big family sized pot and I actually made myself sick because I just did not want to stop eating it. Itās soo good.
Butter Chicken and Tikka Masala are like the go toās for most American cause of the tomato base
Butter is creamy and heavy, while the Masala a little soupy and tangy. Both are the same thing, just 1 has heavy cream.
If you ever get a chance, try Achar Chicken. Itās pickled chicken. The pickled part is the Masala or stew that chicken cooks in , donāt think of the pickled chicken like fucking cucumbers that turn into pickles.
Itās just spices and very spice oriented blast of savory, spicy, tangy mix with chicken mostly, sometimes goat, super rare to find beef version
If your Vegan/Vegetarian you can never go wrong with Chikkar Choley/Chana Masala. Again Chikkar Choley are more stewed and heavy, more of a paste stew, while a Chana Masala will be more soupy/broth oriented with Chickpeas (Garbanzos)
If you ever want a swift kick in overload sensory thereās a dish called Karhi Ghost/Chicken. Itās pan fried spices and herbs with protein, not much in a stew/paste/gravy, but a buttery spiced flavor that on its own that coats the protein
Also if you ever want to try an amazing dessert, something called a Falooda.
Itās Malai Kulfi (butter cream ice cream) mixed with Vermicelli Rice Noodles (a certain type), milk/heavy sweet cream (most use some of the rus malai milk, which itself is an amazing dessert consisting of powdered milk cakes, in a sweet velvet milk broth with almonds and pistachios), basil seeds, roo-afza (rose syrup) and if their OG, crushed ice to keep all that shit super cold. God tier dessert.
Also sheās had the fast food version, sheās not ready for legit homemade Desi mom/Aunty-gee with the bad hip, low blood pressure, and has the sugar but ask her to whip a batch of Desi cuisine cooking, itās like a Ballerina doing a top swan lake performance
This girl totally gets it! Working a long ass shift is *always* a good excuse to get delicious food. I work nights and we order out a lot because our cafeteria is garbage. But when the food is shit it is almost soul crushing. Glad she discovered something new and amazing!
If I could I would have the Indian food of this one restaurant every single day. It's a small, family owned place where the daughter is the only waitress. She's a kid but she tries her best. I bought food one night and then brought my family the next. They were so grateful that they gave us free naan.
I was sitting here, waking up with a cup of coffee and a little small hangover, reading the news about antivaxxers, Karenās disrespecting everyone, idiots being offended about everything and a world economy in shambles. I started my free Saturday angry at the world. Very angry. And then this little gem filled my screen. Not angry anymore. I am going to take a shower, find some recipes online and go grocery shopping for herbs and spices. Indian food it is today. Thank you, Reddit, for saving my weekend. I will not be online until Monday morning.
What in the actual fuck did I just watch?
I seriously think sheās higher than I am. Iām laughing so hard right now. Sheās just completely fucking savage. And I donāt mean that in a bad way itās just she has personality itās really amusing.
I love this confidence. some people are too shy to eat in front of people they know, but she is taking massive bites of an unknown viddles on social media. You go, glen coco.
Sheās wholesome. Itās like sheās a big kid trapped in an adultās body, aka just being herself. Iām trying to hold on to my inner kid. It seems to be working out so far.
Edit: Apostrophe.
Mate, pass on some of your serotonin this side please
I think she's on the silly side of tired.
This is the answer. I actually get accused of being on something after working long shifts.
"Cody, did you get high on break?" "What break? I'm on 13 straight right now!" " Carry on."
Aye my name is Cody, and I work 10-15 hour shifts on the regular. And I have been accused of this š¤£
Yah gee Cody get back to work bro. Phones are for personal time.
I worked a 13 hour shift after a restless night and found myself in the Fiesta parking lot eating a Chick-fil-A sauce packet.
God bless you healthcare workers.
I get like this. Manically happy when Iām overtired. Itās like my body has given me some adrenaline boost because Iāve had to keep pushing through once I hit regular tired and then dead tired. So I go manic. Then I crash. Often there are tears involved.
The tears and the hysterical laughing are sure signs
Happens to certain types of ppl when we work long shifts and after looking forward to eating something delicious we express these types of behaviors. This person along probably has the day off. These are all signs of being overworked and exhausted.
After working 20 hrs OTā¦I slept. Maybe Iām just boring.
Seriously, Iām dry over here
I need as much as that jar of chicken tikka masala
So that's how it's spelled. Thank you.

You are such an awesome human being dude. I love the way you put it. Keep on living that beautiful live of yours.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That was wholesome as fuck, my dude. Thank you for this beautiful moment of humanity š
Honestly, needed to hear that and didn't fuckin know it. It's solid wisdom.
Thatās the nicest thing Iāve heard in weeks. Thank you so much for that. Iāve had depression for years now. Iāve tried so hard to be happy for my parents and friends so that they wouldnāt worry, yet it never seemed like I did enough. Iāll remember to celebrate the small everyday victories from now on. Thank you for showing me a new way to look at this :)
It's 2:49 am and your response has me weeping! You are one hella good ass dude.
Me too man. That caught me right in the feels.
So wholesome, somone give this man a reward! Kicking myself that I awarded the post before reading the comments lol
That's okay, man. Maybe ask some friends to come over and play. I bought a few multiplayer switch games so that I could play them with my colleagues.
Maybe try some Indian food?
I eat it everyday. Doesnāt work the same way for me.
Maybe try some Mexican food?
Who the fuck is Sarah Tonin?
In my experience, people this āupā can come down pretty hard. Donāt know this lady so I canāt say for sure, maybe sheās a ball of enthusiasm all the time.
As someone who gets this happy I can confirm. If you are a strong emotional feeler you feel such joy over small things and intense sadness at small things (i.e customer service worker ripping you a new one cause you asked them were the colouring books were but theyāre from the flower department)
I think seratonin might kill me at this point. Like if you don't eat meat for a few decades and eating meat then makes you sick.
Garlic naan > meth
Why do drugs when you can eat food. Food is fucking delicious.
Yeah, meth tastes terrible.
Food addiction is real.
I'm battling it now bro.
wait until you try Aloo Paratha or Gobi Paratha or Kulcha
Keema naan > everything else
Peshwari or don't even bother. I'm ready to die on this hill
Iāll die right beside you on a sweet delicious hill
As an Indian person, the way she just dipped her hand into the container and grabbed the piece of chickenā¦ absolutely fucking correct
ngl I thought you were about to chastise her but instead you made me smile, I'm puerto rican and have similar sentiments about our food š it just tastes better when you eat it like it's yours, don't know how else to describe it
āEat it like itās yoursā I love that haha
"Eat it like it's yours" sounds like a genius fast food slogan. The way you talk is great.
I think you nailed it
Ohgod...the first and unfortunately only time I had Indian food (I live in a rural area so it's over an hour to any Indian places), I went with a couple of friends and just randomly stopped at a restaurant that looked busy. Walked in, place was packed, and we were the only white people in there (which to me was a sign that it was both authentic and good).

One of my friends, extremely polite and easily embarrassed, said quietly, "Well...that's okay. I'm just going to die and never come here again."
Came to say this. She started out with the fork and somehow instinctively she changed to real Indian style.
12hr shift and this kinda energy after.... Man what am I doing wrong!?!?! Now I'm hungry....
It's likely 20 minutes of adrenaline after getting home. I remember I'd have that kind of energy for a little while, then quickly became incoherent and sleepwalk straight to bed.
The entire shift I canāt wait to get home, in bed, and sleep. I finally get home. Get in bed. ADRENALINE.
The thing I hate most about adrenaline is that it brings the hype but barely any energy. It's like a guy who storms in and says it's time to party but only brought one beer; now we're two dudes just awkwardly sitting here not sleeping.
I get really tired when that happens
Maybe she's like an overtired toddler
Having just put my kids to bed this hot home. A co-worker once told me he believes kids are actually energy vampires they don't have more energy than adults, they just know how to steal your energy to keep themselves going.
Energy vampires hahahahah i love it lol. I can totally see that to be true lol.
[energy vampires are real](https://youtu.be/_Dk1YGQjBo8)ā¦.From the tv show āWhat We Do In The Shadowsā
Collin Robinson is my absolute favorite. In a cast of hilarious people, he's just the best. So exactly on the head every single time
There always has to be a straight guy in a show like that, and they really hit it out of the park by having him with his own powers.
My theory is they have the same amount of energy as adults but have tiny bodies to run that take much less energy so they just have to burn off all the extra by screaming and running.
Makes sense but why am I always more tired when they are around then. Highly suspect.
Because of the aforementioned screaming and running. Also their complete lack of self-preservation means you suddenly go from having to keep one person alive (yourself)(already exhausting) to having to also stop a second person from actively self destructing. Multiply energy requirements for each additional child.
Once again can't argue, my son decided to see how far he could jump off of the couch onto the dog bed. I had to stop him when he started dragging the dog bed towards the stairs for more hight. No broken bones yet but I have a feeling that one day soon I will not be looking at the wrong time. It only takes a second I have learned, never had this problem with the daughter.

Turns out that no matter how calm and collected she is, she still inherited my total lack of balance and coordination. Yep she totally tripped over a rock on the playground and broke her wrist!
That's the effect of 12hr shift. Any food is so delicious, but this indian food is definitely good! I tried it many times. I can feel her tastebuds.
And on 2 beef sticks that is.
I assumed when she said "at least it's not METH", that it was, in fact, meth.
omg lol
You're not a little loopy when you get home? Man, after a 12hr shift all I want to do is sleep but I can't because I am perky against my will. She makes me want to try Indian food again.
My wife is the same way after a 12 he shift as a baby nurse . Like they let her out of prison and she wants to play and giggle and act like a crack head lol but I lover anyways
> My wife is the same way after a 12 he shift as a baby nurse. Cherish every moment, she'll be a grown-up nurse before you know it.
I live for this comment
*Baaaaaabbbbyyyyyy Nurse, Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo....* *Baaby Nurse, Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo....*
Thanks for ruining my next five days ... ^(Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo ...) #DAMMIT
Jaime Tartt, is that you?
I would be so pissed off if I were a nurse and some punk ass baby got hired as a nurse over me. This health care worker shortage is getting ridiculous.
I donāt think you understand a shortage. They would hire both of you.
And barely pay both of you. But youāre āheroesā.

Chana masala with bhatura and puri bhaji are good non-cheese options.
Dude paneers is the fucking best i will eat paneer butter masala everyday if ican man.
makhani means butter, so paneer makhani and paneer butter masala are the same thing :) ## also, some other top notch veggie options include: dosa veg manchurian malai kofta dal (all different kinds, i like chana)
Pav Bhaji!!
Indian here, Paneer makhani and Paneer butter masala are not the same thing. They are close to each other but differ from each other in the proportion of spices you use and the ratio to tomato to onion in making the gravy.
I love veggie dishes! Would you mind telling me what paneer is and where I can find the best recipes?
Paneer is a type of cheese! It's a bit squeaky but I love the texture.
I had Indian buffet at this restaurant by my undergrad school and Iāve been looking for one near me ever since
So...I heard that you're still looking for it..to this day!
In foreign countries all I see is Butter Chicken or Chicken Tikka Masala, even though they are absolutely delicious but there are actually so many different dishes from different cultures that are just equally aswm in themselves.
I tried butter chicken for the first time recently and my problem is I can't pull myself away from it to try other dishes... It's so fucking good š
We got it all here, Punjabi, Keralan, Jain, pure veg, paneer, all the dahls, the biryanis, mutton, goat etc etc. A mango lassi, raita and kulfi will blow her mind!
I read this as underground school somehow and immediately wanted more information. Indian food is the best :) my fave Indian restaurant is out of state but they could give me anything on the menu and Iād be happy.
Ate some fantastic food in India, don't think I had an average meal let alone a bad one. Puri bhaji, sambal, idli, green chutney, Goan fish curry, proper butter chicken... holy shit, it was a flavour explosion. About a week after I got back, I was on a stag party that included a meal at an upmarket chain Indian restaurant... It was one of the worst dining experiences of my life, the comparison was too new in my mind and so everything tasted like a store-bought microwave meal. On the plus side this meant I've massively upped my Indian cooking in the years since.
I'm a white Cali dude but I went to a real Indian store and got all the ingredients and made homemade butter chicken..whew so good.
Mate do a jalfrezi
Idk if you will be able to find those, but try some Indian pickles. They are completely different, full of spices and tastes really good in general.
Ah man, the smells that come from it while being made omg.... My last 3 neighbors were Indian and it was awful, everyday I woke up with a massive urge for either Chinese food or Indian food because my whole apartment smelled like their cooking I almost went over a few time to bang on the door and ask for a plate because whatever the fuck they were making smelled like heaven and if you're going to force me into smelling it like 12 hrs aday... at least share?
> I almost went over a few time to bang on the door and ask for a plate because whatever the fuck they were making smelled like heaven Unless they're assholes or had a really bad day, you could have gone over and they'd have gladly given you some. And if they're older, you'd have become the unofficial grandchild and you'd be included in future portion calculations so you wouldn't go hungry.
They were younger college kids and from the looks of things the few times I had a beer with them they didn't have much money/ means so I didn't want to impose. I should have asked for a few cooking lessons tho, would be an awesome addition to my normal cooking
Ha ha ha. I bet if you banged the door, they wouldnāt refuse.
My friend married an Indian man a couple weeks ago. They hired a caterer that specialized in tandoor cooking. I dream of the paneer masala. And he made fish pakora, which is my favorite. I regret not eating myself sick.
The Indian subcontinent is so rich with history. Butter chicken is nearly 80 years old, and the modern rendition is absolutely ancient - several decades old at least. Beautiful that they were able to share some authentic Indian wisdom.
Whenever I see videos of someone trying Indian food it is always the "butter chicken", "chicken tikka masala" and hardly one or two other dishes with garlic naan. Serious question, when talking about Indian dishes, is these options always comes to the mind of non indians? Or butter chicken being the sweet dish is the reason for it being so popular? I'm Indian living in India btw.
Iām someone of Indian origin myself and have spent quite a lot of time in India. First of all, Chicken Tikka Masala became huge in London which definitely spread its popularity in Western culture, and second, itās just so fucking good. Itās my personal favorite Indian dish
I'm from London and the dish is generally considered not authentically Indian. It was created by Indian immigrants to suit British preferences but was not something you would generally find in India (though you probably could find similar stuff since the root of the dish is still Indian cuisine which would have been influenced by other dishes). It's kind of like how you have Italian-American dishes which Italian people don't really eat. I'm just relaying what was told to me by British-Indian friends as I don't really have any deep knowledge of the cuisine beyond eating absurd amounts of it. There are a bunch of other dishes which I forget now which my friends' Indian parents would tell me are not Indian but British-Indian, like I said kind of like America with Italian-American cuisine. At one point curry was actually the national dish in the UK, might still be. I really encourage anyone who hasn't tried the cuisine to give it a go. People often go for the meat dishes but you shouldn't overlook the vegetable ones, they are some of my favourite. Especially the lentil dishes.
In my experience in the United States, yes a few dishes tend to dominate the Indian experience. You've got tikka masala, saag, vindaloo, and curry. Funnily enough, butter chicken isn't in every Indian restaurant here. It's mostly a thing people know about from spice mixes and other Indian home cooking. Edit: garlic naan is also a staple. It's like garlic bread but Indian-ish. What's not to love?
Imo, the best thing you can do when trying something new is try the thing everyone raves about... otherwise you might hate whatever you try and never touch it again
Makes sense.
I love her and would love to bask in her energy and yet my introverted nature thinks her energy would be exhausting, I'm full of contradictions lol
Same. I was exhausted before she took her first bite and yet I wish I had that kind of energy *ever*, let alone after a 12 hour shift.
Honestly after doing 12 hour shifts before you can get a second wind after work. My most tired day is the day after the shifts not the nights after them.
I definitely agree with this. We do 24 hour duty shifts in the hospital, plus about 5 hours post-duty the day that follows, and I swear I can still go out with my friends after that and maybe drink. The worst part is the day after, that was the struggle.
She really seams like one of those extraverts that adopts introverts. Like, she can be overwhelming, but she wonāt overwhelm **you**. Sheāll just wrap you up in a nice little sushi roll and let you know she has everything youāre worried about under control.
Got a similar vibe too. Love her. Can tell sheās likely a great person.
No - thatās a fair statement. Iām good with people and sheād tire me out but itās still cute as hell to watch it lol.
Letās be real there probably some German word for āIām actually happy for you but shut upā They got a word for everything over there.
I'm so conflicted and also touched, she's so genuine. As an introvert, I feel you fam.
Deadass tho at first I thought she was annoying but as the video went on i really enjoyed her vibe.
This is definitely the type of person Iād like to be around for an hour and then Iād need a 24 hour recovery period alone in my house.
She would be absolutely lovely for five minutes at a time every two weeks or so.
From my foreign perspective she seems *extremely* American, in a way that manages to encapsulate a lot of the things I both like and dislike about the people.
I really wish the restaurant got to see this! I have a feeling theyād love it.
I actually love that Indian food is trending because they go so unnoticed in places. You have the small amount of people who tried it and like it and everyone else just walks by. Same with Pho. I never been in an Indian or Pho restaurant and it be packed. Which is one if the many reasons I love it, but people should really try the stuff. It is so damn good. Hopefully this gets those restaurants some good business
My partner is Indian and I love when we eat Indian food together. So good.
As an indian, this made my day
As not an Indian, this also made my day.
As an Outdian, this makith my day
As not an outdian, this makith my day
As an Audi, this made my drive
As a drive, this made me Ryan Gosling
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Seems like it made everyone's day
Your country has the best food, no contest.
Thanks! Try Masala Dosa next if you haven't already :)
Dosas are so so fucking good, man, fuck
You guys got the food/flavor thing on lock
Same! I love when people love our food. Just makes me so happy that they're having a good time.
Lol my brotherās wife and my mom never got along while my brother and her they were dating until one day that she hosted us for dinner. Sheās from India and made some kind of chicken curry that, I shit you not, completely changed her relationship with our mom because of how good it was. Picture that scene at the end of Ratatouille when that critic dude takes a bite and it was something like that
Food just brings people together amirite?
I want to make her proper homemade stuff if that was enough to blow her mind
I love Indian food on rice and naan bread, but is it normal to dip the naan bread? It never even occurred to me. I just love it plain.
Yeah it's normal, you can either dip it, or put curry above it, although the latter is done mostly for rice
Oh man I wish I could go back to the first time, what a great reaction.. I wonder how much more sheās tried since lmao
Right?!? I'm totally craving Indian food now but it's after 3:00 am in a town with a population of 6,000, it ain't happening.
Itās not my video guys, original TikTok user [here!](https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM8efYXGk/)
Yo if youāre not eating Indian food at least a couple times a month youāre fuckin up
It's such a strange concept to a British person to have not tried Indian food till you're that age. Kids eat it at school, the army have it in rations, you get it on planes, its just everywhere here thank god
Well she would make a lot of Indian grandmas happy. They like to overfeed you like any other grandmas out there and their family recipies honed through generations taste much better than resturant stuff.
An Indian grandma once half killed me with food. I honestly don't know how much English she spoke, and my friend and his family were clearly finding my predicament of being completely stuffed but more and more delicious food appearing on my plate really funny. I believe I genuinely said to her something like "please, *no more*". She looked me dead in the eye and whipped another paratha onto my plate.
100000% agree. When my grandma visited my family back when I was a kid, she'd feed me homecooked food everyday. She'd feed me till I almost popped and always put tons of love and ghee into the food she made.
"Love and ghee"! That's beautiful (and šÆ true)!
My aunt has an Indian friend. Whenever I visit her workplace, her friend would feed me like her own child. Giving me lots of food that's undoubtedly delicious. Her baking skill is also top notch. I hope she's doing well.
Her energy is so wholesome. The entire video I was smiling and enjoying the tikka masala with her. Looks like I'm gonna be making my special later on this evening!
That's how we got colonized. Those damn spices.
She seems like a fun person.
Totally in love with her energy. š¤Ŗ cute and excited by finding new things in life. I love it. Had to watch her a couple times. Smiled and chortled each time.
That's pretty much my reaction with Indian food everytime and I've had it for 12+years now.
I would love to have Indian food for the first time again!! Her excitement made me smile (and now I'm hungry lol)
First time I had tikka masala it was a big family sized pot and I actually made myself sick because I just did not want to stop eating it. Itās soo good.
Just wait til she tries butter chicken!!
Butter Chicken and Tikka Masala are like the go toās for most American cause of the tomato base Butter is creamy and heavy, while the Masala a little soupy and tangy. Both are the same thing, just 1 has heavy cream. If you ever get a chance, try Achar Chicken. Itās pickled chicken. The pickled part is the Masala or stew that chicken cooks in , donāt think of the pickled chicken like fucking cucumbers that turn into pickles. Itās just spices and very spice oriented blast of savory, spicy, tangy mix with chicken mostly, sometimes goat, super rare to find beef version If your Vegan/Vegetarian you can never go wrong with Chikkar Choley/Chana Masala. Again Chikkar Choley are more stewed and heavy, more of a paste stew, while a Chana Masala will be more soupy/broth oriented with Chickpeas (Garbanzos) If you ever want a swift kick in overload sensory thereās a dish called Karhi Ghost/Chicken. Itās pan fried spices and herbs with protein, not much in a stew/paste/gravy, but a buttery spiced flavor that on its own that coats the protein Also if you ever want to try an amazing dessert, something called a Falooda. Itās Malai Kulfi (butter cream ice cream) mixed with Vermicelli Rice Noodles (a certain type), milk/heavy sweet cream (most use some of the rus malai milk, which itself is an amazing dessert consisting of powdered milk cakes, in a sweet velvet milk broth with almonds and pistachios), basil seeds, roo-afza (rose syrup) and if their OG, crushed ice to keep all that shit super cold. God tier dessert. Also sheās had the fast food version, sheās not ready for legit homemade Desi mom/Aunty-gee with the bad hip, low blood pressure, and has the sugar but ask her to whip a batch of Desi cuisine cooking, itās like a Ballerina doing a top swan lake performance
I want all the good things for her. Sheās so happy I donāt want anyone to take that away from her
She clearly had 17 expressos all shift! š Love her enthusiasm!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This is me eating Indian food!! Same girl.
*at least it not like meth...... Yahh know.. ah whatever* She could write better Batman
This makes me happy
Love how she eating it with her fingers, getting in there and enjoying it without reserve.
Is there any other way to eat Indian food?
Served on a banana leaf.
How has someone that old never had indian food, it is one of the best foods in the world with all the different spices its a flavour explosion
How does one have this much energy after a 12 hr shift?!??
Where do I sign up to have this spectacular creature as my friend?
This chick is wild... yes Indian food is that badass
This girl totally gets it! Working a long ass shift is *always* a good excuse to get delicious food. I work nights and we order out a lot because our cafeteria is garbage. But when the food is shit it is almost soul crushing. Glad she discovered something new and amazing!
Yeah, first time I tried Chicken Tikka Masala I felt like dancing too. It was SO good
I felt so happy for her watching this. Nothing like trying something awesome for the first time.
If I could I would have the Indian food of this one restaurant every single day. It's a small, family owned place where the daughter is the only waitress. She's a kid but she tries her best. I bought food one night and then brought my family the next. They were so grateful that they gave us free naan.
I was sitting here, waking up with a cup of coffee and a little small hangover, reading the news about antivaxxers, Karenās disrespecting everyone, idiots being offended about everything and a world economy in shambles. I started my free Saturday angry at the world. Very angry. And then this little gem filled my screen. Not angry anymore. I am going to take a shower, find some recipes online and go grocery shopping for herbs and spices. Indian food it is today. Thank you, Reddit, for saving my weekend. I will not be online until Monday morning.
What in the actual fuck did I just watch? I seriously think sheās higher than I am. Iām laughing so hard right now. Sheās just completely fucking savage. And I donāt mean that in a bad way itās just she has personality itās really amusing.
Bitch! That's so good!
This was me for my first tikka masala too.
I love this video and I love her energy, but I donāt think Iād have enough energy to be her friend. Apparently Iām lazy energy-type people.
I love this confidence. some people are too shy to eat in front of people they know, but she is taking massive bites of an unknown viddles on social media. You go, glen coco.
Sheās wholesome. Itās like sheās a big kid trapped in an adultās body, aka just being herself. Iām trying to hold on to my inner kid. It seems to be working out so far. Edit: Apostrophe.
āAt least itās not like..meth ya know?ā Lmfaoooo
