hey everyone welcome back to our Channel we're here in Mumbai which is
in a completely different part of India than we have been visiting in the past
which means it's going to be completely different food if you've caught any of
our previous food Vlogs you'll know that we have fallen in love with a company called a
chefs Tour they actually operate tours here in India as well as all over the world so
we've partnered with them again today to explore the beautiful and incredible Cuisine of Mumbai
all right you guys we have our guide for the day this is Pooja from a chefs tour can you
tell us a little bit about some of the food we expect to eat today let every place be a
surprise for you okay okay all right so we're not gonna know no you are not going to be
revealed about any food that we are eating today total surprise until we reach the place let's go
so paan is basically leaf literal meaning of paan is leaf betel nut leaf
so what is paan over here it is basically a mixture of ingredients that they actually
apply on the paan okay and feed you with the leaves so this is known as sweet paan
which generally we Indians have after our meal it acts as a digestive as well as a mouth freshener
mmm floral
wow
it is floral our mouths are too full okay I think it's similar to what we had in Delhi
on the deli food tour but this one is way smaller and I'd say more subtle a little less Rose watery
I prefer this one by a long shot the flavors are just a bit more smoother yeah they're gentler and
I found I remember the one in Delhi I felt like I had eaten like toothpaste yeah yeah that's right
and it made me feel like a little sick almost because I feel like I'm not supposed to eat
toothpaste but this doesn't taste like that this is this is like Smooth it's nice having
a mint after your dinner that cooling thing in your mouth yeah that's because of gulkand
gulkand is made up of rose petals and that's also the floral taste I'm getting one's literally Rose
so the next item on our list today is cheese chilli toast
all right let's try there's a lot of layers
three bread layers yeah I can smell the the like the green pepper yum some sort of sauce onions
Mayo mmm crunchy I like the noodles on top inside it's a mayonnaise there are red chilli powder
Chaat Masala and a little sandwich Masala a mix of two three spices that he makes it on his own
that's a great street food this would be a lunch for me for sure that could easily be a whole meal
okay these are Gooseberry Pooja said they're gonna be bitter and
sour but they're here they've given us a mixture of salt and chilies of
course everything comes with chilies am I supposed to dip it I don't know cool
oh bitter and sour
that takes a minute it like made my face crinkle like
involuntarily but it's good I just like takes a little getting used to
I've definitely had something like this before have you it's like eating a like a an apple
that's like nowhere near ripe it's like a crab app like a small crab apple that's still not in
season it also leaves a weird like texture in my mouth it almost feels like it's like
making that spot in my mouth dry where I'm like eating it it's good right I could get used to it
these are the local street eats of Mumbai basically our parents in our ages they used
to eat it it was right outside their schools so in their breaks they used to go inside
used to have those sticky tamarinds these small fruits berries they actually make us nostalgic
I think it's so much better to have those kind of fruits on the street than like like bad ice
cream or like you know Donuts or candy it's nice to just have something a little healthier lying
around especially in front of the parks you know sends a good message to the people in the park
I don't know where we are now but it's just like a super busy like Market underneath the
uh the underpass pretty busy in here a little chaotic all right we've arrived to churchgate
station so we're going to take the local train which like runs through a ton of Mumbai here
it's like a proper train not a Metro a proper train runs locally here in Mumbai so we're gonna
take that to our next stop for the evening I think this alone might be an experience
we've got some natural air conditioning Through
the Windows and the open doors you do not want to fall off this thing
the nice part about leaving the doors open you can just easily jump on and
off like the train hadn't even stopped and we just jumped off
as it gets darker Mumbai seems to be getting busier you might expect the
opposite but here the farther the sun has gone down the more packed the streets have become
nice
so we just walked into one of the oldest most famous
Dairy Stores here in Mumbai and it smells so good
so this shop is in its third generation with this family who started it in 1916 so it's
been here more than 100 years and what's so cool about this place is they actually have
their own cows and buffalo that they milk and then use all that milk here to make the sweets
okay so it's curd? yes this is sweet curd now
oh look at that
so the top layer is purely cream which has a separate kind of a glaze when you eat it
okay smooth enough okay wow do you see that I mean this cannot be good for you
oh that top layer is like thick and dense it is so good it's so sweet
oh maybe we shouldn't have shared one oh that's good it's so sweet it's so
sweet but it's like not too sweet like you you can tell you're having dessert
but like you could easily eat at least one of these by yourself without feeling sick
I think perhaps what's making it taste so good as well is The Clay Pot that it's in
there's something about clay pots that just like Elevate every dish
we've ever had if it's served to you in a little Clay Pot it's gonna be amazing
these night streets of Mumbai are definitely living up to their name I cannot believe how
busy and hectic it is here navigating is like by itself like a true skills
hey hi, hi
hah hi
I think it's so cool because a lot of the young kids will like practice their English
with us which is a really fun way to engage like youngsters of a new culture because we don't know
any Hindi so I can't chat with them but they're very good at practicing their english with us
this looks good so this is known as bhel puri made up of two ingredients okay puffed rice
and thin fried noodle that is safe there are three vegetables that they put inside onions
boiled potatoes and tomatoes this looks like a whole meal is it usually eaten at nighttime like
this or is this like a good anytime it's a snack yeah oh wow snack and mostly famous evening snack
oh crunchy oh it's like room temperature it's not spicy I love the texture see all those like
crispy noodles on top they really give it just a perfect crunch oh no there's
a little spice of course there's a little spice I really like the crunchiness what's
special about this particular shop and how it makes this dish is that it uses
a mango chutney in this dish and I guess that's quite unusual it's very very yummy
mm that mango chutney is good
the mango chutney, the crunchiness it is definitely more than a snack I feel like it
can be a full meal we got another one so this is known as the dahi bhel chaat this has curd
into it yes I love curd yeah and you see this this is known as matri okay this is kind of a
thicker version of what we have in the chaat oh so this is what he crumbles and inserts inside
and this is the thicker version cool so this this little guy is inside here I don't know if
you can see it on the side but it's actually right there underneath all that goodness that
curdy goodness potatoes sprout curd red chilli powder Chaat Masala okay and the fried lentils
and thin fried noodles on top another dish that is a snack but I think could be a meal
again with that crunch I think because the curd's on Top This is a snack you want to
eat like fairly quickly so you keep that crunch from all that chip goodness that's
underneath it has like a really a flavor that I'm really familiar with from here in India
I still don't really know what it is it's some sort of like combination of spices I think it's
cumin it's cumin um which like in small doses is delicious but we've also found that in like
big doses it can be overpowering but this is perfect this definitely looks like another one
of those snack street food snacks that could be a street food full meal I feel like that's what
we've been learning today here in Mumbai is that there's so many different types of meals you can
get on the streets that you can have like something different every day for lunch if
you're working out and about I think Pooja was saying earlier that it's everybody's so busy
here you know there's lots of things going on lots of working so you need to have fast meals
available and and ready and a lot of variety too and we're seeing it everywhere so with all
the street food that we've been trying today as well as all the street food that we've tried in
the other food Vlogs that we filmed here in India you might think that we're at risk of getting sick
um but honestly we have not been ill at all since we got to India we've been here a month
now this is our third food tour and I don't know if we're just getting lucky or of course on the
Food Tours the guys are just so good at knowing what the good spots are and making sure the food
is rotated and kept really hygienic um but like it's just amazing everyone told us get ready for
Delhi belly you're gonna get sick in India and we have been in perfect health since we arrived
we have made our way into the jewelry section of the commercial area here
in Mumbai and whoa is she busy on a Saturday night
it's all part of the Mumbai experience
so this is known as Masala khichiya papad this looks good this is khichiy papad and what she'll
add on top will make it Masala khichiya papad okay okay this is the normal papad that we eat at home
oh wow that's cool
I feel like we just witnessed how like Indian nachos are born or something [Laughter]
so this is masala khichiya papad now the base is papad
which is made up of chickpea flour carom seeds and red chili she applied butter
first added some Masala and then cucumber and tomatoes then the green Chutney and
then the thin fried noodles fried lentil and coriander for garnish so I mean earlier Mico
called this Indian nachos which is precisely what it looks like to me it looks delicious
the papadam
is chickpea flour and there's some chili in there
mmm that is very good
and caram seeds for digestion and caram seed oh you've got this digestive thing down
there's cucumber in this dish I don't know the last time I had cucumber to
be honest and it's really really fresh the papad like this bread
it reminds me of like a rice cake almost like the flavor like it's just subtle and gentle
and poofy and crunchy quite yummy something that I am absolutely loving about this tour
is anytime that Mico and I can't finish a dish um Pooja is actually taking the rest
of the leftover food she actually brought some like old containers and she's just been
handing it out to people on the street who are in need of a little bit more food today
so this is known as moong dal pudla moong dal pudla
the dahl that I showed you yeah
grind it into a paste that is dosa batter consistency on the
pan add tomatoes on it add cheese and coriander looks delicious
served with three chutneys the garlic and the
red chillies the mint and the green chili and The Tamarind sweet chili
mix all the three chutneys together and then have it really okay mix all the chutneys
ooh I really taste the cheese the cheese is very good cheers oh now
it's sweet and spicey and now it's everything
it is really good its almost kind of like a pizza I think the tomato and the cheese
kind of reminds me of pizza very soft mushy crust though this is good again
another awesome meal
