The man’s got like 3 restaurants? He’s on Masterchef and is very successful. His YT channel really feels like him chilling out and sharing his love for recipes, their origins and his own experiences. Also fun fact: when he mentions his mentor he touches his ears. It’s a thing in india where we don’t take the names of our teachers/gurus or elders as a mark of respect. He says his Guru or Ustad’s name because he needs to give credit and touches his ears to seek forgiveness for that. This can be seen across many art forms in india.

Not just a shout out to mentor, the reason he mentioned Ustad Ghulam Rasool is because he was the pioneer of the awadhi cuisine to which butter belongs. He was the chef for the descendants of kings and for the elite at Taj hotel! Given his cuisine speciality and the fact that he existed at the same time India exported the craze of butter chicken he I think is very much responsible for making the dish iconic. He was the GOAT and you cannot anymore get closer to perfect recipe than his! The shoutout apart from respect to mentor is i would perceive a flex for the authenticity of the recipe!

For the cashew parts, well.... here is the thing when it comes to many North Indian Dishes. Due to the historic culture of India, dry fruits were a sign of royalty. Not to mention, cashew would tone down the spices of the gravy, plus, giving a fatty and rich texture to the Butter Chicken. It's one of those things that are better when added, but not necessarily authenticates a dish. It's just an ingredient that's been added since years. Plus, yes, it's called a Makhani Gravy (Because Makhani translates to 'Buttery' in Hindi Language) Really had a blast watching you appreciate Indian Cuisine. Would love to see more.✨❤

Cashew paste thickens up the gravy, and a really good emulsifier to bring everything together (helps to prevent the gravy from splitting) and makes it more "velvety" so to say. The relation to royalty, in this case, not so much, as butter chicken itself isn't that old. The fatty part is also debatable but richness and smoothness, definitely.

Kewra water is Screwpine Water, an extract distilled from Screwpine or Pandanus flower. It is very strong smelling so always used sparingly. Does give a wonderful aroma to any Biryani or Pulao. And about oil separating around the edges , it is desirable in India cooking. If you do a 'Bhuno' (deep frying in high heat) when the fat separates the frying is considered to be complete. A very common trick. Good video, love your reactions.

Interesting how he brings up the fact that butter chicken as a newer dish has eclipsed all of that history. This is of course, not uncommon across the world. When people think Japanese food, they usually think about sushi or ramen, both relatively newer dishes to Japan and had beginnings there as fast food. For Chinese, people often think about that weird American Chinese takeout food. When Italy is mentioned, people often think of pizza. But not even that long ago I had a bunch of older Italians get upset that I as a child brought up pizza (they were not even offended that I didn't know pasta and said spaghetti, that's how upset they were about pizza). Apparently pizza despite being widely available across the world thanks to certain chains, was not even an accessible dish to them, it was not even available the next town over for many of them, and was according to them a hyperregional food from the South. These guys were 30-50+ and many had not even had the chance to try it so I guess they were reasonably incensed that the food item the world best recognizes from their country was popularized by America, and even the version the world knows best is closer to American styles than that of Naples. What's especially funny is whenever people use traditional to describe these dishes, considering their relatively short history, and how innovations keep happening like gunkan, uramaki, shake (silly purists don't consider Salmon an acceptable neta, wait till they see the new wave omakase with long wait lists that don't do Edomae), tsukemen, frittas, Roman and the many American style pies and whatever Franco Pepe is doing.

Idk, that happens with Mexican food too though. A lot of Americans (and Europeans) are under the impression that foods like nachos and fajitas are can be made "authentically Mexican", but they're both a Tex-Mex invention that was created after ethnically northern Europeans settled what used to be Spanish colonies in the United States. They do serve both things in Mexico, at resorts, for tourists, obviously, but they aren't "traditional" Mexican dishes. I'm ok with it though. Tex-Mex cuisine is good.

Given how vast of a country India is, you'll find different cuisines in different parts of this country. Butter chicken is a Punjabi (form Punjab - a north Indian province) dish. Even though it is one of the most popular restaurant dishes, most Indians don't make butter chicken at home. It is said that this dish was invented by a restaurant name Moti Mahal in Delhi. If you ever visit India, it is a great place to head to. You must've read a hundred comments on Chef Ranveer - one of the most decorated chefs in Indian (North Indian to be specific) cuisine, restauranter, a judge of MasterChef India so on and so forth. You may like his other recipes like Dum Biryani, Mutton Korma, and Nihari (Indian braised meat dish).

However Aunt Betty's tuna hashbrown cheesy casserole isn't going to feature nearly as much in a restaurant as some form of burger and fries.

I bought a bottle of that liquid smoke once and I never liked it. Such a cool trick with the coal. Great channel, Chef Brian, thanks for the awesome content. When I make this I normally cook the chicken on a coal bbq to get that smokey flavour.

Since we run low on cream reserves, so we blend cashew nuts with water to make a thick grainy fluid which acts kind of like cream (not exactly tho but the color) and the cashews aid in the taste

The separated fat on the sides is the core of Indian gravies. This means that all the spices are roasted and the gravy is ready.

Kewra water is screwpine essence, the plant is related to the pandan plant and is similar to pandan extract actually. It's common in other fancy Indian dishes too like Biryani.

Chef Thomas Zac or Chef TZac as his handle goes is an awesome chef with a smaller youtube channel. He cooks more regional and lost recipes from alll over India. Same as Ranveer but even more obscure or lesser searched recipes. Super fun and he looks more blazed to me sometimes. Something with Indian chef's and drowsy eyes. 🤣 Ranveer's team writes down recipes in the video description
