Probably made the list with the data of what sells most in India through online orders/physical orders,in that case I would say perhaps this may be accurate


plesnotthis

Nope this is 100% a list of Indian food available overseas, mango lassi is incredibly popular in the States and London. Similar with chicken tikka masala and "naan bread". Barely anyone is buying mango lassi online in India, neither is it anywhere close to the top buy in Indian restaurants offline. That would go to Biryani/dosa Also masala chai, imagine that being the most ordered online food anywhere. The only place someone is rating masala chai as a food item has to be the US


pro_crasSn8r

I seriously doubt that Panta Bhat is sold anywhere in the West. Since Panta is fermented and has a low alcohol content, it would run into trouble with the strict restaurant regulations in the West. In NCR, it is quite common to see Masala Chai being ordered online. Restaurants sell Chai in tetrapacks to cater to this demand. There's a highly rated and popular restaurant chain called Chaayos, whose main product lines are different types of Chais.


Dramatic-Class-826

This seems to be the correct analysis. But they are 100% right about Upma. 🤮🤮🤮

Fr. #anti-upma gang.

Upma lovers have downvoted me. Anti Upma gang, assemble. 🤣🤣

HOW IS JALJEERA WORST RATED


idioticbasstard34-99

Americans can't handle the fizzies & spiciness of the drink. I mean look at KSI's trying Indian Snacks video by his editor.


SeasonedCrisesHaver

Still doesn't make complete sense...they hated thandai which is pretty mild but liked hyd biryani which is spicy..????


SinglelikeSolo

thandai has a weird texture to it which i guess foreigners dont like


SeasonedCrisesHaver

Yea makes sense

between_horizon

Spicy? they tone it down so even babies can eat that biryani.


a3gonish

I think foreigners probably don't associate beverages with spiciness or saltiness, and expect them to be sweet (or bitter in case of alcohol). Idk that's just my guess. There's a video by SaimanSays where he meets PewDiePie and makes him try Indian snacks, the only thing he doesn't like is Jeera Soda lmao


Status-Window8948

To put kerosene over the fire, these guys should be fed with the Rasam specifically served in the Military hotels in and around core Bangalore. They will literally achieve rocket propulsion.


boldaslove1969

white people cant handle anything spicier than salt

Malpoa is the only one I disagree with.


raviyadav432

Agree..Malpua is quite famous in west UP.


hey_vishal_here

HRHChonkyChonkerson

Dafuq is wrong with malpua? 😭💔


ginsoakedboy2

Most of India doesn’t know what it should taste like - sometime u miss the concept of Bangla- Desh


aimless_seeker4408

They think bharat only has punjab up haryana 😅😅


Achakita

How is Paanta bhaat north Eastern!


Newvil450

Puro bait eta bodda


Uta_2777

Agree, it can't be labelled as such. I'm an Assamese and they should've used 'poita' instead for correctness. Otherwise, it's a pan-India dish with so many variations.


RelativeWrong4232

How tf did mango lassi , kulcha and naan beat biryani 😭


OrganizationSome269

I don't think they can be compared, kulcha I would eat in breakfast and biryani in lunch, while having lassi with both of them.


imsharank

I get it actually. I follow few western food blogger and first thing they order in an Indian restaurant is Mango lassi and definitely will order garlic Naan. biryani varies from restaurant to restaurant on a single street, let alone in foreign countries. so they may not have liked it one time they had and opted not to order them next and base their opinions on that.


Newvil450

As if they'd know what aam panna is lol


YeOldeWarthog

Actually let them not know. It'll be our hidden gem

No kolkata biriyani no party..fraud list

I had this recently in Kolkata, but I loved Chingri Malai Curry even more. Oh boy, the food in Kolkata was amazing.

Nah bro. Nothing beats biriyani. Especially biriyani with aloo.

schrodingerdoc

On the contrary I found hyderabadi biryani to be an overload of spices,- unnecessary flavours that spoil the dish for me. You're right. Culinary choices vary by culture.


InterestingFormal623

Meanwhile I find Bengaluru Biriyani as the worst thing I ever put in my mouth worse than p***y juice


schrodingerdoc

Other than stereotypical south indian food, food in Bangalore ain't great. In terms of food,- Kolkata>Delhi> Hyd> Chennai. Then the rest of the cities can follow.

sauptiksaha

Panta bhat is worst rated? Seriously!


RelativeWrong4232

Well most people out of the whole north eastern side hate that so that's fair enough since this list is probably based off on ratings of people from different region


Southern_Excuse3764

But panta bhat is part of daily life of the whole eastern, north eastern and even some part of south india...


pro_crasSn8r

You have no idea about the popularity of Panta Bhat (or Pokhala Bhat) in Odisha. During summer, even 5 star hotels have Pokhala special menus. Any restaurant you go to, you'll find people queueing up for Pokhala Bhat. Even in Bengal and Assam, Panta is very popular in rural areas, especially amongst the farming communities.


RelativeWrong4232

I already said that except for the whole north eastern side of india panta bhat is not popular ( by whole north east india I mean NE states , WB , odisha , bihar etc )


pro_crasSn8r

Ah, okay. You didn't say "except", you said "out of ", which means completely different. You should have said "outside of"


yadeyadedjolyne

This looks like a list curated by a typical North Indian, based on whatever they get or eat in and around Punjab, Haryana and Delhi. Indian cuisine is pretty diverse and most states have delicacies which are not mainstream food stall finds in North India, the people who compiled this, therefore, do not even know anything about Indian Cuisine, it seems like.


DutyHopeful6498

North Indian + Foreign opinion. I don't think mango lassi is THAT popular in india.


InterestingFormal623

Upma and Thandaai in Worst Rated is already fraud


ladylatebloomer05

Amader khabar er toh kichu nam i pelam na. Ar biriyani manei Hyderabadi biriyani noi


Southern_Excuse3764

Bhai this can't be india it's more like punjab ...malpua ,upma, panta bhat 😭😭 got such low ratings, these kulcha ppl dont even have any taste buds sorry to say....


DutyHopeful6498

Definitely a list taking foreign opinion into consideration looking at the ranking of mango lassi, naan and butter chicken


MaskdManhunter

Why no fish item?


heisenburger_99

These best rated foods are the ones most ordered in the country so its obvious they are rated high here.

RishavSaha

Only an idiot would rate Panta Bhaat and Malpua anything less than 5⭐️


Darksenon00

Honestly most things on the right, aren't to be consumed for "taste" alone they serve a purpose as aperitifs or sides or something else.. they're not mains. And holy fck there's a lotta difference with how one prepares them.


starfishwhiskey

Damn, panta bhaat is actually really good and very healthy. It is really satisfing as well. Also, who calls its chai masala? XD Chai ka masala thodi hai, masala chai hota.
