Tribal People Try Indian Food!
About this video
Tribal People Try sits the tribe down with indian food. It's filmed in the village, not a studio, and what you see is what happened on the day.
What is indian food?
Indian food from outside Punjab: dosa, idli, sambar, pav bhaji, vada pav, Bengali sweets, Goan fish curry. India and Pakistan share a Punjab, but South Indian and coastal food is as foreign to the village as Italian.
What to watch for
South Indian food surprises them most — fermented rice batters, coconut, curry leaves, tamarind — and dosa is admired as bread-making skill. Sweets like rasgulla are recognised as cousins of their own.
The comparison they always make
North Indian Punjabi food is the same food, and the tribe say so. Everything south of that is a different country's cooking that happens to use rice.
