Good afternoon guys!
I'm in Hyderabad, India and as you can see behind me I'm going to be visiting the restaurant
Chutneys.
They make the biggest dosa here in Hyderabad.
It is basically a giant Indian pancake.
It originates from South India and man I'm hungry.
So we are going to checkout the preparation of the dosa.
This is really exciting.
So how big is your dosa sir?
The big one is around four feet long.
Oh my gosh four feet long?
It is huge.
It is incredibly big.
And it can be shared for 2 to 3 people.
We're each going to get one.
Yeah.
We're hungry.
Hahaha.
(Cooking sounds)
Wow!
That is nuts dude.
What do you think about this man?
This is so amazing.
It is so amazing.
I've never seen anything like it.
I love dosa.
Dosa are one of my favorite things from South India cuisine.
Totally agree with you man.
Have you ever had one this big?
Never.
My biggest was one foot.
Wow.
And I ate that whole thing.
This is going to be four times as big.
I'm going to eat the whole thing.
Hahaha.
(Cooking sounds)
Woah.
Dude.
Woah!
It is a two person job.
Look at that.
Two people need to carry it.
Wow, that is big.
That is a behemoth of all behemoths.
Look at the size of that dosa.
Maybe the biggest dosa in all of India.
The biggest dosa in the world.
Right there in front of our eyes.
Woah!
Look at the size of that behemoth dosa.
The biggest dosa.
Oh my gosh.
Look at that.
It is like, it is like my wingspan practically.
Hahaha.
I think officially it is just under a meter.
He said it was like about 4 feet.
Three to four feet long and it is crazy how big it is.
Like just look at how big this dosa is.
Unbelievable.
So before we tuck into this beautiful dish let me tell you what a dosa is.
So Dosa is South Indian cuisine.
It is basically an Indian pancake it is made from fermented batter.
It has just two ingredients.
Rice and black gram which is a dry bean.
So it comes with six different chutneys, sambar which is lentels and tamarind and then a potato
mash salad.
So first up is a coconut chutney.
Over here we have peanut, over here we have green chillies with ginger and then we have
red chillies with ginger over here.
This one is tomato based with corn and this one is chanada.
I'm not entirely sure what that is to be honest.
Alright so let's break this bad boy dosa in half.
Oh my gosh I can here it like crunching.
Oh and the thing that is amazing about it is it is kind of hollowed out.
If you can see that.
It is hollowed out.
It is paper thin and you'd think oh maybe this is heavy.
It is totally light in the hands.
So in terms of eating it I believe you're just supposed to break off a piece a dunk
it in.
So I'm going to go with one of my favorite kind of chutneys coconut.
I absolutely love coconut so I have a feeling that I'm really going to like this one.
Let's take it for a bite.
Oh my gosh that is good.
That coconut is so sweet.
It is pure coconut.
There is nothing else.
And it is just gets absorbed so well with the dosa man.
Time to break off another piece here.
So I'm going to try it with the peanut one.
Just going to dunk it in like that.
Oh that is a lot.
Mmmm.
Oh wow.
Completely different consistency.
The coconut one was kind of watery.
This one is more like a paste.
It reminds me of the consistency of a hummus but it is nuttier.
I really like it.
But not as good as the coconut.
I've got four more to try.
So next up I'm trying the green chillies with ginger.
Taking a big old bite of that.
Oh woah.
That is strong ginger man.
Woah that is like nasal clearing.
It is really good though.
I still prefer the first two but that is the kind of one that I would gladly dunk some
more dosa into.
Alright.
So now I'm going to move on since I tried the one with green chillies it is time for
me to try the one with red chillies.
Again this also has ginger.
Oh man.
That one is incredible.
That one has catapulted up the list to number two.
Only coconut is ahead of that.
The reason I like it so much.
It is spicy but it is also sweet.
It has got like a sweet and sour kind of combination.
I should say sweet and spicy.
It is really really good.
Okay two more to go.
This is the one that I have no idea about.
Hahaha.
I'm not going to lie I just don't know what it is.
That one is kind of bland.
Not my favorite.
Okay moving on to the final one.
Just getting tonnes of this dosa.
Dunk it in.
This one I think is a tomato corn.
Mmmm.
That is pretty good too.
It is mildly spicy.
Lots of flavor but I have to say now that I've tried all six I'll rank them for you.
So number one without a doubt coconut.
Number two red chilly.
Number three peanuts.
Number four green chilly.
Number five this one that I just tried.
Number six coming in at dead last, which I probably wouldn't eat again, is the one that
I don't really know what it is.
What about this guy?
Oh that guy.
I've got to try that.
That is the sambar right?
Yeah, sambar.
That is the one with the lentils and the tamarind.
Let's take that for a swim.
Oh that is really liquid-y.
It is almost like a soup type consistency.
Let's try that.
Mmmm.
Oh I like that.
That would be ranked in the middle of the pack with these.
It is good stuff.
And the last one for me to try is the potato mash.
It is like a potato mash salad.
It has vegetables on it.
You can see a little bit of shredded carrot.
It also has.
It also has some greens as well.
I'm going to stir it around a bit here.
Mix it up.
You know what?
I think with this one I'm just putting it directly into my mouth.
Mmmm.
That is nice.
It is a nice potato salad.
But definitely the star of the show dosa mixed in with the coconut chutney.
Life changing experience.
I'm just going to be completely honest with you guys.
This is the best Indian food I've had in India and I've now been to India on three different
trips.
This is the best meal I've ever had in India.
Hands down.
I love this place.
I love the dosa.
I love all of the variety of ingredients and chutneys.
Man this place is just incredible.
Incredible Indian food.
Wow.
Dude I feel sorry for you man.
I know I know.
You've already had yours.
I'm asking you as a friend to have a bit more.
You don't have to ask me.
Like you said before this is probably the best Indian meal I've ever had.
I know.
Period.
Oh, the red sauce.
Mmmm.
That red chilly with ginger.
Mmmm.
It is so good man.
I love how it is like a paste.
Yeah.
Like this is just so good.
That taste.
Not too spicy.
Yeah that was number two for me and that is like number one for you right.
Oh bro, number one.
Number one.
I could keep going bro.
I know.
What else?
I'm going to keep going after this too.
Hahaha.
Yeah the consistency of this one.
Yeah.
It is so amazing how it is very moist.
It is like look at that.
It is falling apart.
It just drips all over the place.
Mmmm.
Oh wow.
The coconut just gets super absorbed into the pancake.
Yeah.
It really is almost part of it.
Yeah.
With the coconut I could almost have that one for dessert.
Yeah.
It is not super sweet but it has got a bit of a sweetness to it.
It could be almost like a yeah like a dessert.
Straight up.
Again I've got to mention it for like a place that serves gigantic portions you'd think
maybe the quality is not up to standard.
Nah.
This place is incredible.
Yeah I mean this food like we've said before I've never had food this good before.
I know.
Indian food.
And the preparation in the back.
We got to check that out.
it is incredible.
One thing I want to mention is that this restaurant is super clean.
Yeah.
Lots of air conditioning which is a must because sometimes you are eating out in the heat and
it is a just a little too much.
Yeah.
Wow and this Dosa I mean this is like a heavenly Dosa.
Alright guys how do you even sum up a meal like this.
This is just outstanding.
This Dosa was incredible.
The size was shocking.
The quality was outstanding.
I couldn't recommend this place more highly.
