This one's good right, the Vada Pav? Spicy.
Yeah, a little bit spicy right?
Not very spicy?
Super.
Super spicy? Oh no. I'm gonna be...
No, no! Super item.
Oh it's super delicious?
Ah okay.
It's one of the best thing in India.
This is a Mumbai speciality, right?
Yeah, I had it two times when I was in Mumbai.
I'm hoping it's the same quality.
All fully the same.
Fully the same? Ah.
This one is the yoghurt mint sauce.
Yoghurt mint sauce and this one?
This one spicy.
Spicy? Ah okay.
Eh, chili sauce. This one is chili sauce.
Ah okay, so you've cut it in half.
So I just dip it in this and
Yes sir.
try it? Okay.
I will give it a go.
Thank you my friend, thank you.
Okay.
Let's take this somewhere
and give it a munch.
So here we go.
This, the bread roll,
that's what they call the 'Pav'.
That's just like a morning roll like we'd get in Scotland.
Like you'd put your sausage and bacon into.
And
the special bit is the 'Vada'
which is this one.
It looks like it's made with chopped potatoes,
some spices.
Maybe something else in there. I don't know.
You can see, there's many different colours.
This thing that's surrounding it,
that's the ground chickpeas,
a flour of it
and then it's fried and then
when he puts it all together
he puts it on a frying plate again
to fry the bottom of it
and I'm gonna give it a taste first without the sauces, actually.
Mmmm.
Oh!
Yeah, this is already ridiculously spicy so...
This thing here.
You can see all the little red bits.
That'll be the chilies.
So I definitely won't be using that spicy sauce.
I'll be using this yogurt mint sauce.
It kinda balances out the spiciness usually in Indian food.
It's always a good thing to have, so...
Now it's more balanced.
Now it's more balanced and nice.
But yeah, everything just nice and soft.
A nice soft roll.
Just squishes down like that.
Mmmm.
Good.
So, comparing this Vada Pav
to the two that I had when I was in Mumbai.
I had one in Mumbai at the train station,
A really cheap one. It was like 10 rupees.
And then I had another one that was like 50 or 60 or 70 rupees
from Jumbo King. It was a big double-decker one.
This is
10 Dirhams, which is like
200 rupees or maybe a bit more.
So it's certainly more expensive but is it more tasty
than the ones I had in Mumbai? Actually yes.
Actually,
actually enjoying this one more than the ones I had in Mumbai.
A little bit too spicy for me
but absolutely delicious and
obviously here
hygiene is top notch.
It's not like getting one at the train station in Mumbai
or anything like that.
It is
full on
proper hygiene standards
and this,
just so soft.
Watch me squish it.
Everything just soft and squishy and
a little bit too spicy but never mind
because we'll dip it in the mint sauce and...
mmmmmm.
It's delicious food, no?
Oh.
All, all well?
Superb.
It's full Indian flavour. Yeah.
Not fake.
Indian people making it.
Same Indian food.
Yes.
Actually, these are better than the ones I had in Mumbai.
The Vada Pav.
My mouth is burning
from that spicy Vada Pav that I just had
and
I need something to
cool myself down.
Hello my friend.
Are you selling Lassi here?
Sorry? Lassi.
Lassi?
No? Where do I have to go for Lassi?
Somewhere over there? Desi Delights?
Yeah. Okay, thank you my friend.
Hello.
I want this Matka Lassi.
Matka Lassi? Yes.
Want salt, sweet or mango sir? Three flavours.
I will take
mango please, mango.
Take Mango Lassi? Yeah.
What is all this on the top?
Pistachio.
Oh, pistachio.
Thank you my friend.
Welcome sir.
Hmm.
It's alright.
It's not,
it's not a proper Lassi I would say.
I think it just tastes like,
just tastes like flavoured milk to me.
Just tastes like a mango milk.
Hmm.
No. This isn't the type of Lassi I would get in India at all.
This is very different.
In India it was more thick.
There would be a layer on top.
A layer of thick fattiness.
They make it with pure
Indian buttermilk
but here I guess they're just using
the local milk to make it.
I guess they don't have
Indian cows grazing in the UAE, so...
Meh.
It's nice enough. It's just
not Indian standard
Lassi, is it?
But it's cooling me down.
It's cooling my mouth down from that spiciness.
It's the perfect antidote for that.
And also,
the best way to get away without wearing a mask around here
is just to always be eating or drinking something.
That's what I plan on doing actually.
Ice cream.
Turkish ice cream.
Yes, I am Turkish man. You want ice cream?
What makes it Turkish?
Yes.
What's the difference? Oh!
What's this? Oh, for me.
Oh, my god.
How dare you? How dare you?
Thank you. Oh.
Thank you, oh!
How am I supposed to eat this?
Okay.
Ice cream please. Ice cream.
Okay, I give you now ice cream.
What is the difference between Turkish... okay.
Fantastic, yeah. That's my sized portion.
It's for you.
American portions. Fantastic.
Okay.
Okay, this one?
I've got it now?
Here we go.
Okay, finished.
Yeah.
Very good ice cream.
All I have is a cone sir.
I want more ice cream and less cone.
How dare you?
The guy's messing with me.
Hey!
Argh!
Oh my god. Come on.
Very good ice cream.
Okay.
Two scoops please.
Or three scoops. Fantastic. That's it....
Oh!
Ice cream.
How dare you?
Okay.
No more messing.
Oh my god.
How dare you?
Here. Okay.
How dare you?
Is that it?
Oh!
I'm dying for ice cream now.
Is that it? Okay.
No, no. You get this.
You get this.
Argh!
That's it. Eventually I got it.
Let's taste it. Yalla, yalla, yalla.
Ice cream, ice cream, ice cream.
It's nice.
This is Turkish ice cream.
Special home made ice cream.
Traditional, excellent, yum yummy.
It's very fatty, right?
Yes, yes. Yeah.
Very creamy, very fatty.
Mmmm.
Kinda like Gelato, Gelato uh?
Gelato Melato ice cream.
Like Gelato, uh?
Better than Gelato or...?
No, no. This is Turkish original ice cream.
Inside milk, no water.
Ice cream.
It's nice.
No, where is the camera.
It's on, it's on.
On no, this is.... turn it.
Ahhhh.
You think I'm trying to trick you
like you were trying to trick me?
I'm not a trickster.
You're the trickster sir. You're the trickster.
You're the trickster.
Oh good banter, good banter.
How much am I due you for this?
20.
Only 20 uh? Yes please.
Only 20.
Yeah, you are give 50 no problem.
In Turkey how much does this cost?
In Istanbul or...?
10 Lira maybe.
10 Lira? Ah okay, good.
I am from Kahramanmaraş.
Okay. Ice cream city.
That is the ice cream city? Yes, yes, yes.
When I visit turkey I will look for your city.
And I will look for the ice cream.
Ah, okay.
The 10 Lira ice cream.
Not the 20 Dirham ice cream.
And this for the performance.
Okay, thank you my friend. Thank you, thank you.
See you next time. Bye, bye.
Okay, yes, hello.
Okay.
It's all dripping, it's all melting.
He's on to trick the next guy.
Mmmm...
