If someone cooks for me, I’m eating it. It’s that simple.

YEAH IT’S HIS LOSS. South Indian food is 🔥🔥🔥

i cant get over all the people defending this dude and being like "why do you have to make everything about race? You cant expect everyone to like indian food." its not that he didnt like it, but its that he didnt even try it. He's allowed to have his own tastes, but to not even try it after his daughter went thru the effort of learning the recepie and making it for him is just sad.

my dad is black and he and I always try a variety of foods from different places. I’m telling you, Indian food hits the SPOT. they make such good food, I could eat it all day bro

Imagine thinking South Indian food looks unappetizing. Couldn’t be me Edit: y’all need to chill tf out in the comments. Count to ten and breathe gang

Definitely his loss. South Indian food is not just delicious but nutritious also.

Being adopted by South Indian family, I absolutely treasure visiting them and miss being able to go visit for so long as a kid. My nanny always made me curry puffs (one of my favourites) and I mean she would take over a whole fridge shelf when she made me curry puffs and food because curry always tastes better the next day. I don’t have to cook for a week when I go visit

Growing up in South India, i can 100% confirm that South Indian food especially the Puddu you made makes me feel warm on the inside. Seriously love southe Indian food ❤

My dad is asian, and whenever I try out new recipes from other regions, ( i tried an italian pasta recipe the other day) he usually gives me his honest opinion after he tries it. He doesnt judge it based on looks, and im thankful for that since the food I make doesnt always look good but almost always tastes amazing. I feel really sorry for that girl tho. She bought all the ingredients and worked so hard and in the end he didnt even try it! I hope she wasnt discouraged and kept trying out new recipes if that is truly her passion.

You remind me of "the korean vegan", I didn't say a copy but you just remind me of her and I am so happy to find an indian food content creator who can take the recipes to international audience and make it known to them

I get it if he doesn’t like something AFTER trying it. He didn’t even try it though, after she put time and effort into it! This girl sounds so sweet she probably would’ve made him something else if he didn’t like it after trying it, but he was so rude for not even trying it.

If somebody made me homemade South Indian food I would literally hug them and eat it all. Just the gesture of preparation of food is so nice, and especially if it’s out of the cooks comfort zone

I love trying new foods but some people do not like trying anything outside of their comfort zone. I have experienced that with my own father. All I wanted to do was use chicken stock from a box and he freaked out. He likes what he likes and nothing else.

I can smell your dishes from here only they literally make my mouth 🤤

Completely Agree, South Indian Food is just Yum & the healthiest meal anyone can intake at anytime 🍴🍱

In Los Angeles I was blessed to try Indian food and it was love at first bite. Since then I love everything related to the beautiful people and culture of India.

I'm from northeast. I went to south to get operated. And since then I have been hunting for good south dishes here. I like how creative vegetarian options are.

If I showed my dad, or grandfather a photo of some italian/french food they’d deny eating it in a heartbeat and would rather want to have Daal Chawal instead. So let’s not judge the poor man for not wanting to eat south Indian, when majority of our parents, grandparents wouldn’t try foreign food as well.

My vietnamese dad looooooves indian curry, he always suggests eating curry when we go out haha, but me and my mum don't know how to cook it authentically so we don't actually cook it at home :((. One of my goals is to finally make him some delicious curry tho!!!

I get it though, old people struggle to try new cuisines, my parents on the opposite spectrum REFUSE to eat anything that isn't South Indian. 😂

I have a few Indian neighbors and omg literally the best food ever! So much flavor and the food is just so comforting

Kuzhipaniyaram! Yum! Grand sweets and snacks!

YAY bro. Indian food literally gives me life. I'm Pakistani and the food is pretty similar, especially the curry and baryani.

That looks so good! It’s a shame the father didn’t want the food!

“He thought it looked unappetizing” How though?? My stomach is growling just watching this vid

Most underrated: South Indian food

My first experience with Indian food was southern Indian food. My mom's coworker Deepti would cook for us and it blew my deeply Southern (USA) 8yr old mind. I wish the Indian restaurants around my area served more southern Indian food but they're all northern Indian restaurants. Southern food is the greatest, no matter what country you're from it seems.❤

To be fair a lot of south Indians wouldn't like a steak and mash....not sure why anyone needs to get offended by what the man's preferences are.

Everyone has their own preferences. Some people's pallet cannot stand the flavors of South Indian dishes, especially as some spices/flavors are quite strong. 😑 what's delicious is subjective.

South Indian cuisine is the most vegan-friendly cuisine in India and possibly the world as well. Wholesome, tasty dishes made with vegetables and spices, without dairy or meat for the most part, with subtle flavours that don’t crowd out the flavours of the underlying ingredients

Yes South Indian food is soo soo delicious...i am from North India but north Indian food is not so healthy as south Indian....dosa is my favourite!!

These look so good! I’m American but have a lot of danish ancestry, and they remind me of a savory version of these pancake balls called Æbleskivers that my mom always makes for Christmas. Definitely going to make these soon 😤

it’s ok for ppl to have food preferences. U push culture on top of ppl and that’s what’s creating more division. It’s okay to not want to try any other styles of food apart from the style you’re comfortable with. But yes people should also be respectful when doing so.

i mean different people from different places have completely different palettes can’t blame them.

South Indian food is always Yay ❤ Love from a east Indian.

South Indian food is some of the best food out there!

When your South Indian and eat it every single day Me: umm well Idk about that

We call it punganalu in Andhra Pradesh. It's a yummy dish when combined with groundnut chutney and Tomato chutney. It is usually made when the dosa batter gets rightly fermented.

I am also south Indian I am Telugu and you are sooo right south Indian food is soooo delicious

Yes south Indian recipes are appetizing, it's my comfort food , the rasam and dosa chutney goes with any time

As a South Indian we people are very much fond of food.... 😁❤️ Eat Eat Repeat.... 😂❤️

I don’t think you can assume that he wanted something more “European looking”. Some days certain foods just don’t look good and it doesn’t have anything to do with where it’s from. I feel that way about “American” food as well as food from other cultures. I do think the father was rude in asking his daughter to prepare something different. No one in my family would ever refuse a homemade meal just because we don’t like how it looks or it doesn’t sound good that day.

I just love south indian breakfasts soooo much ..... I can eat them daily ..... ( Even though I am north indian, I am always in for south indian cuisine over parathas ) 😄🫣😋😋🤤🤤

i love indian food, north africa has some bomb dishes too. im hugely biased towards curries so these cuisines literally run my kitchen!

His loss FOR REAL! That look bomb asf Edit: Wow Thank y'all so much for the likes. This is the most I've ever gotten. 😭

Guess many parents are like this even my indian parents crotisize foods that they aren't too aware about...guess our generation is definitely more open to new experiences.

all the food i see yiu making always looks so good but i know that i could never eat 99% of it because i CANNOT handle big spices or big flavours (even just pepper or onions) but i would at least like to try it to see if i could handle some of it because watching your videos always makes me hungry

Some people are so picky they miss out on some of the most delicious foods. This guy probably is the orders chicken strips at every restaurant kind of guy he'll miss out on the best part of life exploring cultures via food

South Indian food hits different I swear!!

Everybody loves the food of their area and others are decent for that person. I am from north india and i don't like south indian food except some dishes and this same happens with you too ,you will like food of your area and might not like northern or eastern or western food.it's completely fine

FOOD IS FOOD🥘 🍱 🍲 . Its tasty, brings good memories, brings happiness, gives energy, fills you up to do things, it will never leave you, it will never break ur heart, etc. Like there is nothing wrong with food be it from north side, south side, or wherever. It will always taste good and may i tell you south Indians have one of the most flavoured foods i have ever tasted. ❤❤

It’s ok to not like something , whether it’s the look or whatever . People with different preferences than us can exist

You’ll never know how I got so many likes

the video editing ,the story telling everything reminds me of doobydobap a lot

as a latina (peruvian tusan/nikkei) YOUR FOOD LOOKS DELICIOUS! hope i can try it someday T T

I WANT INDIAN FOOD NOW ITS SOOOOOOOOO GOOOODDDDD 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

We cannot force someone to like something, if he didn't find it appetizing it's absolutely fine imo

Paniyaram my love😍

i could go my whole life without hearing “and that’s the reason why” at the end of a youtube short ever again

Are those idlis? OMG! I love idlis and the sambar looks delish!

Paniyaram looks delicious 😍😍

I love being introduced to new foods. I was raised by a Slavic grandma who used food as a love language. I will always appreciate when someone cooks for me especially when it's from their culture. To me I see it as they like me enough to introduce me to that side of themselves

While I agree, southeast Asian food is amazing, not everything is meant to be racist or degrading, even if he could have used better words to describe the food When I moved from my home country to a European country, I absolutely hated the food. I thought it looked ugly and refused to eat it. It took me years to get used to eating soup and the new flavour combinations and styles. Now that I have moved again, I miss that food. Because of this experience, I am a lot more open to trying new foods and flavours. If you grew up with certain foods it's hard to try or get used to new flavours, especially if the person isn't young anymore. While they should learn to choose their words better, it's not always meant as bad. I have had this same experience with ny grandmother and father (who both come from very different countries from where I live now).

I'm from the Philippines but my favourite cuisine is Indian. There's so many variety of spices and every dish is just flavour bomb

Weird how everyone automatically make something about race . If they didn't like the dish they probably just didn't like it?

I love the flare when You cut the onion 😆. Those look SO good they remind me of Takoyaki from Japan

It looks so tasty! I’ll try to replicate it but I’m not sure if I would find the curry leaves and the idle batter.

As an Indian I can confirm that South Indian food is soooo delicious 😋 healthy and animal friendly ❤❤❤❤ Idli, sambhar ,Dosa and list is unending 😊

Okay two things: You're totally right, I love Indian food it's so frickin good, literally one of my favorites. I'm white, but I really appreciate diverse types of food because I grew up in a very passionate cook's house who loves to make a diversity of foods from all sorts of places. #2, if something doesn't look appetizing to you, there's nothing wrong with that. I doubt he knew that the food was specifically Indian and was being racist. Some people haven't had the exposure to other types of foods and it's not inherently their fault if, because of that lack of exposure, it doesn't look appetizing. It's annoying when people refuse to try things, but at the end of the day you're not a bad person if a foreign food looks weird to you. Everyone grows up having different levels of diversity and different cultures. People preferences are shaped around what they're used to, and it's completely human to feel more comfortable with things you're familiar with.

Even as a non-vegetarian & north-indian i need my south Indian food twice a week to survive.

South Indian food is amazing ~ so glad I learned how to cook from my grandmother!

I'm Iranian and I personally can't handle the spices in Indian foods. But, I take the ideas and replace the spices with my own 😊

But why the assumption he was only ok with European food? I really don't understand if someone is talking about food with me and I show them some dish from another country and they are like meh looks unappetizing to me, I don't assume they dislike foreign food over all.

Indian food is amazing ! I learned to make a few dishes ❤

For the people who don't know what food that is in Konkani we call it "Appo" So yeah!

"*Less animal friendly*" 👁️👄👁️ Take a bow gurll!!😭💀

Internet is all about converting regular conversations into sob stories

Dude, when I saw you making those gunta pongaraalu, I was practically drooling all over the floor. They look sooooo good.

Indian food is spectacular. They make vegetables taste better than anyone else. Truly his loss.

Preach ! South indian food is an acquired taste. Korean food caught on and so will this ! 😋

In tamizh, we call this "paniyaram"

My husband is from Bangladesh and when we visited, his aunt cooked for us every day. Even though the food was a little above my spice tolerance I loved getting to try new fish and expand my knowledge of Indian/desi cuisine. It was a huge privilege to have home cooked meals and be looked after that way.

It’s so sad when people are so full of pre assumptions that they miss out on delicious foods. I still remember the first time I ate Nepalese food (palak paneer to be exact) and I loved it so much. Nowadays it’s a monthly treat for myself that I go and order from my favorite Indian restaurant

It is known as "Appe" in my state.

Almost thought that was takoyaki til I saw the idli batter go in. Interesting.

Even if something doesn't look too appetizing me I'll still try it that's how i found alot of my favorite foods

I as Bengali have been dying to try South Indian food. Especially the rice based dishes. Anything with coconut in it. Some of it looks like why Bengalis but more colorful.

I m from South India and yess the food is deliciouss!!!

Damn the “yay or nay” long time not seeing that

Indian food is so underrated. It's so good and diverse. Lots of flavor with something for everyone. Curry and Tikka Masala are my favorites. But this looks great.

as a south indian, all of u are making me rly happy

People have their food preference. I personally don't like Indian food (more specificly I don't like cumin and turmeric and it is hard to find an Indian dish without them, when I was on the look for it Reddit said I should just give it up), it not gonna make a bad person out of anybody tho. You can still appreciate and love other cultures and it not gonna make the food bad, simply you just don't like it.

Girl My fav paniyaram...there's no replacement for this 🥰🥰

I haven’t had the pleasure of trying South Indian food yet but it always looks so flavorful! Unfortunately (I love them but) my family are very picky and not very explorative when it comes to any foods that aren’t the typical American/European or Latino dishes so I understand your friend lol

Now, that's called "PADDU", in Karnataka. Hmmm....mouth watering..🎉😊

That looks fucking delicious and anyone who says otherwise is trippin

He’s just not used to spices and unbland food😂😂😂

This looks so good 😍 I’m a bad cook and could never make this myself 🥲

I am North indian.. But i can die for South Indian food.. It's the best❤
