Namaskar, good evening guys from Delhi, India.
Today, I'm going to be going on a little food tour.
I'm very hungry and I'm with the boy,
the man, the myth, the legend, Luke, the man.
And yeah, we're going to...
There's plenty of places to get some food around here.
So, we're going to have a look.
We've also got...
We're in like the pottery and the clay area,
which is super cool.
I'm not sure if this will fit in my suitcase,
but it's really nice.
These ladies are selling some really fine art here,
I have to say.
Do you reckon that will fit in the suitcase?
Easily, carry on.
Or you can put all your like clothes in there,
and then carry that on.
That's a shout.
Let's check it in.
They are cool, though.
Super cool.
It's like a...
Just a pottery area,
must be the pottery market.
Oh, yeah.
Gotta be careful, we're walking into...
Walking into traffic as we walk along.
Namaskar, brother.
Thank you.
Here we go, street food straight away.
Looks like we've got some like burgers here.
Oh, potato?
Looks like burger.
And we've got some pani puri over there.
Okay, let's try it.
Namaskar, brother.
Okay, thank you.
So it's basically like a pastry,
that's like...
There's nothing in the inside,
and then I think you just like dip them in...
Well, we'll find out.
I've had these once before,
in Pakistan.
I had it in Karachi.
So we'll see how it compares to that.
See if it's any different.
Well, from the time I had it in Mumbai,
you kind of just like keep refilling,
and at the end you pay for however many you ate.
Oh, really?
It depends on the store,
but I remember that was what it was like when I was in Mumbai.
Can I try pani puri?
Yes.
Okay.
Kidney?
Kidney rupee?
20 rupees, 5 piece.
Okay, 5 piece.
Namaskar, brother.
Okay, so it's a little cracker.
Just open the middle,
put some sauce in,
and then water.
So it's literally liquid,
curry,
sauce,
and it's like a fine cracker.
Slightly different to how I had it.
Wow.
It smells pretty potent.
Sweet?
Go for it.
This is so strange for me having liquid.
Spicy?
Okay, we'll try.
We'll give it a go.
Analyzing.
What's the verdict here?
It's like an explosion, eh?
All the liquid goes everywhere.
That is so unique.
I can never ever get used to that.
I've never in my life had something solid,
and then it's just filled with liquid.
You can see that.
Like, I'll...
Just to show you guys,
I'll pour the liquid out.
Look at that.
And there is some...
There is a little bit of solid in there,
but it's mainly just liquid.
So as soon as you take one bite,
all the liquid just goes everywhere in your mouth,
and then you get the explosion of flavors.
You got a little bit of spice in there,
a little bit of sweetness.
I can see why people love this,
because it's delicious.
So he crushes it up,
puts the potato in there,
and then pours a little bit of sauce in there very quickly,
and then the liquid.
Is this water?
Water, okay.
Hopefully, that's safe water.
Can I try one of these?
So basically, it's potato, I think, fried,
and then he pops it in this huge, like, frying pan,
filled with oil,
and fries it a little bit longer.
And we'll see what he does with it.
Nice to meet you.
Is this your shop?
Yes.
Very nice.
Thank you.
And it's like a little...
It's on wheels.
So when he's done for the night,
he can just move on,
take it home,
or maybe he can...
If he's not getting much business here,
he can move it to the next street.
He's done, and he cuts it up into four little pieces.
You can see there's, like, vegetables in there.
Kidney?
Kidney rupee?
20 rupees only.
20, so they're all 20 rupees.
And then he puts some salt on there,
and a little bit of sauce,
and boom, we're done.
So it's the same sauce that goes in the pan here?
This is a curd.
This is a chili sauce.
Mint?
Chili sauce.
Chutney, okay.
This is a curd.
A little bit of chutney.
Tora.
Don't need that.
No, thank you.
This looks really good.
These are good.
They're delicious.
It's, like, fried.
We'll get a little bit of that on here.
You see there's vegetable,
like, sweet corn,
peas,
and some potato, I think.
Reminds me of, like, a hash brown,
but with, like, this sauce on it.
It's very, like, sweet,
but also spicy.
And then we'll try a little bit more of this green chutney.
I have to say, I much prefer this.
The pani puri is lovely,
but it's just, like, I can't get used to the texture.
I have to say, I'm a real big fan of this.
The crispiness of it.
I'm gonna go for it all, I reckon.
One big bite.
It's like a one big French fry or potato cake, potato store.
That's the thing with this Indian street food.
It's probably not the healthiest,
but it is very delicious.
Zabadas, my friend.
I've only realized today, guys, that
Zabadas is a Urdu word,
but I've been saying it all the time,
so I apologize.
We're gonna finish it off.
Thank you very much.
He's saying to zip up my bum bag.
Thank you very much.
Okay.
Really nice guy, really great food,
and a nice little introduction into the food here in Delhi.
Alright, guys.
As you can see, we've stumbled on Main Bazaar,
which is, you guys may have seen in an old vlog,
it's like the street.
Nahi chahiye, brother.
The lights look so, it, like, reminds me of, like,
it's, like, retro.
Kind of reminds me of, like, Gotham kind of style.
Looks so cool.
And, yeah, we're, like, five minutes from,
ten minutes from where I'm staying.
Namaskar, bhai sahib.
Very good, how are you?
And, yeah, you can see literally everything and anything.
We got toys, we got shoes, we got clothes,
food, drinks, and electronics.
So, it's a pretty cool place.
I've heard a lot of people say that, like,
this place is not a nice place to come,
but I've not had any bad experiences here.
It's exciting, I like it.
Exactly, yeah.
So, yeah, we're gonna head on to the next spot.
As you can see, guys, Luke's suddenly changed outfit.
He bought a real-slash-fake polo.
You guys can decide.
You think it's real or fake?
Ah, 100% real.
He told me it was real.
Yeah, true.
If they say it's real, it must be real.
But, yeah, I've spotted...
Namaskar, bhai sahib.
How are you?
Good, how are you?
Let's see over here if we can get something to drink.
Gotta be careful.
Namaskar, bhai sahib.
Chai?
Lassi?
Chai, chai.
No lassi?
No lassi.
Lassi?
This side.
Oh, okay.
No lassi there?
No.
Okay.
Thank you.
Lassi which way?
Back where we were.
Oh, you can get a body massage.
Maybe get a body massage whilst we wait for our food.
Namaskar, bhai sahib.
Namaskar.
How are you?
Very good, sir.
Okay.
What's the name?
Maggi.
Maggi?
Yeah.
Yes.
Oh, wow.
One Maggi?
One Maggi, 30 rupees.
Okay.
Spicy?
Yes, you like spicy?
Okay, yeah.
40 rupees.
I'm Indian.
I can deal with the spice.
I'm some bhai-bhai.
Okay.
Thank you.
Yeah, just one.
Some bed please, 5 minute bed.
No problem.
5 minutes, okay.
So this is it, guys.
Real minutes or Indian minutes?
Indian minutes.
Indian, so like 20 minutes?
20 minutes.
And as we're waiting, guys, I'll show you the man making the paratha.
Paratha or chapati?
Chapati.
Chapati?
Yeah.
Oh, there we go.
He basically just claps it and then flips it on.
Wow.
Very good with your hands, boss.
Okay, and you see it's like a...
I love these little mini restaurants.
It's like got like a couple of tables, got the food area where you can see them making the food,
and then the locals just queue up and you get your food like 5 minutes.
This is what real fast food is like.
This is how he makes it, I believe.
Look how much like heat there is on that.
Whoa.
So it's like, whoa.
Bhota cha, which is basically mixed sautéed vegetables.
I think that's the name.
And then some, what's this?
This is dal.
Dal?
Dal fry.
I love dal.
I've had dal quite a lot.
Okay, understand?
Oh, yeah.
Dal fry.
Bhota cha.
Thank you.
Pops it on the stove again.
Oh, some spices.
Oh, yeah.
What's the name?
Salt.
Oh, salt.
And those are different spices.
Mix it all up.
Oh, spicy.
And he's done.
So this is the sauce, I reckon, that goes with the noodles.
How long have you...
Very long time.
Minimum 200 years.
200?
Yes, 200 years.
You've been here for 200 years?
Yeah, yeah.
Wow.
My age, 40.
Grandfather, grandfather.
Oh, I thought you were 200 years old.
I was going to say, you're the oldest man in the world.
Nice to meet you.
Welcome.
Thank you.
This is your shop?
Yes.
This?
Yes.
Very nice shop.
Thank you, thank you.
You guys want to come here?
We're just opposite the railway station.
I can't explain the heat that comes off when he fries it about.
That's epic.
This is the Indian Guam Ramsey?
Yeah.
Oh, here we go.
Okay, guys, I got the wrong order.
This is it, guys.
So he sautes the vegetables and then puts the noodles in with the powder that comes with the noodles.
And it's kind of like in England, we have super noodles.
And then he adds the salt, a little bit of spice, a lot of spice, and more spice.
Oh, yeah, baby.
Finally, that's like three different spices plus the actual noodle flavoring.
I'm actually really excited to try it.
Even though I did have some food there.
I had the panipuri and the potato.
I'm still hungry, which is good.
The one thing is like Indian food fills me up very quick.
So I'm happy that I'm still hungry.
It means I can eat more.
And we got Mr. Duman, he's getting a haircut in there right now.
I'll go and give you guys a sneak preview.
He's getting a head massage just over there.
You guys can see it on his channel.
Okay, so it's been frying there like on like a lower heat for maybe five minutes now.
So it's gonna be tasting really nice.
I love noodles.
Okay, I think we're done.
We're nearly done.
Yeah, he's turned off the heat.
And let's see.
You get to eat it in one of these plates, which obviously is not very good for the environment.
But I don't think they have any actual plates.
So there we go.
Oh, that looks delicious.
Very good.
Thank you, sir.
Hello.
How are you?
I'm good, sir.
Good, okay.
You have a vlog?
Oh, yeah.
Where are you from?
I'm from England, sir.
England?
England.
UK.
And you? What's your name?
I'm from Delhi also.
Delhi?
Yes.
Nice place.
I can smell this already.
You can smell the daal.
You can smell the aromatic spice.
Oh, just give it a little bit longer to cool down.
But that looks delicious.
You had this before?
You have this?
No, no, no.
Okay.
I'm full already.
Okay.
I make prata.
Prata? Oh.
Aloo prata.
I still need to try that.
Okay, guys.
I'm just sitting down with my man, Tanti.
And he's having aloo prata.
Aloo prata is very good?
Yes, nice.
I thought I didn't have that, but I've actually had that before.
But I've got the meal here.
So we're going to go for it.
It's cooled down a little bit.
Mmm.
Oh my god.
That is...
That is different.
That is so, so good.
So, so good.
So sick.
It's like basically just soft noodles.
You can taste the daal.
And then a little bit of spice.
But actually, not as spicy as I was expecting.
The vegetables in there.
Everything mixed together.
So, so delicious.
And like a nice big portion as well.
I can see why it's so popular.
Oh, there we go.
Just get the aftertaste in the back of my throat.
Spice.
I think this is going to be a spicy one.
Oh my god.
Ooh, spicy.
Spicy.
You know Indian people more eating spicy.
Oh yeah, they're used to it.
Yes, they have a higher tolerance.
This reminds me so much of this meal I used to have.
I used to have it nearly every day when I was quite young.
When I was 15.
Called super noodle.
So, exactly the same.
You just boil it with the powder.
But this is different.
They've added their own kind of flavours to it.
So, it's like a super noodle.
But like a better version of super noodle.
This is not a noodle.
This is Maggi.
Maggi.
Easy to cook and so early cooking also.
Okay.
One minute only then cook and eat.
After that going to work.
Everybody can eat.
Ah, so it's convenient.
Yes.
Ah, okay.
Very unique name.
Sounds like it's going to be something very strange.
But it's just noodles.
What is your job?
I have my own clothes.
I work in the clothes market.
Oh, nice.
What kind of clothes?
Sometime I do a quick market also.
Oh yeah?
What kind of clothes?
Ladies.
Ladies clothes.
And you like Delhi?
Yes.
Nice.
I got told...
Someone told me that this area is not very safe.
But I...
I am from Punjab.
Punjab?
Yes.
I'm working here.
Before I live in Kuwait.
Kuwait?
Yeah, yes.
The country?
Yes.
Oh, wow.
And Malaysia also.
Malaysia.
After that I'm going to Israel.
Yes, 4 years I live here in Israel.
So you're a...
You're a travel man.
Well travelled.
Nice.
I'm getting through it guys.
How much you want to buy?
Hey.
How is it?
How was it?
It's good.
How's that?
So, so good.
Yeah?
I'm like...
Like sweating now.
Because I've got the...
The heat behind me.
Yeah, and then I've got this.
My whole...
My whole mouth is just on fire.
It's so good.
Is it hot?
Yeah, fairly hot.
Nearly done guys.
Look at that.
We smashed through it.
You can tell I absolutely hated it.
Only joking.
The myth about street food being bad for you
is not always true.
Because if you think about it
all these street food vendors
selling these items
how would they make any money
if the food was bad?
So the rule I go by is
if it's busy then it's good.
Okay guys.
I...
For some reason my camera stopped working
but I paid 40 rupees for that.
So that's like half a dollar
for a delicious meal.
Such a nice meal.
One of my favourite meals so far in Delhi.
Very easy.
Very quick.
Very cheap.
And...
Yeah, really nice.
My nose is actually running
because it's a little bit too spicy for me
but I actually like it when it's spicy.
And I'm learning to get used to the spice.
My tolerance is getting better.
So yeah, awesome meal.
Namaskar.
And...
So now we're gonna get a drink or dessert
and we also gotta find the Australian
because he's gone AWOL.
Don't know where he is.
But yeah, namaskar bhai sahab.
And also, I'm just gonna double check.
I'm not sure if they do sell lassi over here
but we wanna see if they sell lassi.
Namaskar bhai sahab.
Lassi kaha hai?
Okay.
Dhani baat.
We'll head over there to get a lassi
and then we'll also find the Aussie.
Oh, there he is.
Alright guys.
Let's just walk through the rubble.
Lassi kaha hai?
Lassi?
Oh, dhani baat.
Oh, here we go.
What's... How do you say what is this?
Kya hai?
Rabri, rabri.
It's good?
Acha?
Very, very good.
Zabadast?
Rabri.
Okay.
I think I'll try a lassi.
Lassi.
Namaskar bhai sahab.
Lassi?
How much you want?
Just one.
Dhani baat.
Oh my God.
Also, it's like...
It's like solid on top and liquid in the middle.
Whoa, he's moving so quick.
Oh my God.
Did you see how much sugar just went in there?
Yeah.
I've never seen someone move so quick.
He put three big spoons of sugar.
The lassi's gone in there.
Oh, bloody hell.
Be careful, you'll get your fingers knocked off.
Okay.
Nice to meet you.
He's in work mode.
He's got like eight customers.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Look at this, guys.
We've got like ten people there, five people here.
Very good.
Yeah?
You guys from where are you from?
Delhi?
Delhi.
Nice.
Nice to meet you.
Okay, and then...
So, the final bit is when he's finished it,
mixed it all up, he adds a layer of like this curd on it.
And so there's one more thing left to do.
It's my first time ever trying lassi.
And it's in like this metal cup.
Wow.
It's like a...
Tastes like yoghurt.
Very much like a vanilla yoghurt.
Not too sweet.
And the layer on top is kind of interesting.
It's nice.
Very cold.
Zabadast.
Acha.
It's really nice, actually.
Quite refreshing.
And one of the best drinks I've tried, I think,
because the sugarcane drink that I've been having like nearly every day is so, so sweet.
Whereas this is, I'd say, like the perfect amount of sweetness.
And yeah, it cools you down, that's for sure.
Maybe in the day it would be better.
So, we'll try and down it.
I want to get rid of this curd just so I can down it.
I can't because there's curds in the way.
Are you supposed to eat the curd?
I think you're meant to drink it.
Drink the curd.
It has to get in your body somehow.
Okay, we'll go for it all.
I can't.
Not a fan?
No, no, it's good.
Oh, just the curd part?
Yeah, just the curd.
It's very unique.
I wonder why they serve it in this.
Very hard.
It's, yeah.
One of the, I'd say this is a really nice drink for only half a dollar.
Definitely fills you up.
I wonder how they make it, like how they make that actual curd.
They maybe put it in the fridge.
What's this made out of?
Milk.
Milk, just milk.
They love milk here in India, I swear.
Yeah, they have milk in everything.
I keep forgetting about the amounts of sugar he's putting in.
Like, honestly, it's so much sugar.
Curd, curd.
Curd?
Curd, curd.
Curd.
Cheers.
Okay.
Thank you very much.
Slammed me in a gun.
Oh, it's just all the curd down at the bottom there.
Okay guys, pretty much done.
All we got left is the curd.
I'm not going to have the curd.
But that was super, super nice.
Perfect little addition.
Kind of feels like a dessert.
And it is.
I'm not going to get a dessert after this because I'm really getting run over.
Because that is probably sweet enough to be a dessert.
And now I'm very full.
So, like four different items and four very nice items.
Thank you very much.
They've got money bags over here.
They started calling me the Bank of England.
Do you have change?
Yeah, so also you can see guys,
just like even off the main bazaar, the streets go down.
You just got like hundreds of lights selling like loads of different types of food
and like electronics, SIM cards, printing.
And lassi.
And lassi, the most important thing.
It's kind of like a little mini city within the city.
No lassi for...
Oh, you're dropping rupees.
Oh, thanks. Thank you very much.
Alright guys, finished up food.
We're actually by the New Delhi station.
Right by the station.
And you can see, super busy.
We've got loads of touts.
And so much to see here.
Got to be careful where you're looking.
Namaskar, bhai sahib.
Hey, how are you?
What are you selling?
Not busy?
Not selling anything?
Okay, okay, no problem.
Oh, you are selling something.
Sunglasses?
Oh yeah?
Real?
Oh, honest man, honest man.
Do you have airpods?
Satish has gone inside.
Someone translate for me.
I guess he's saying, go and get the airpods now.
Go.
What is this?
Oh, items, clothes.
It's heavy?
Oh, heavy.
Very heavy.
Wow, it's full of clothes.
Okay, okay.
Nice to meet you.
My name is Hari.
Hari, Hari.
Hari.
Nice to meet you.
Delhi?
Hampi.
Hampi?
Hampi.
Oh, Hampi is beautiful.
Very beautiful.
This, this my father.
Oh, namaskar.
Hampi is beautiful.
I want to go to Hampi.
It's a very ancient place.
One of the oldest places in India.
India.
Yeah?
And you moved to Delhi?
No, some business.
Business?
Okay, okay.
Nice to meet you guys.
So we're just, I think we're waiting on the products.
Don't know where he's gone.
He's gone to the secret warehouse to get them.
How long brother?
How long?
Indian, one Indian minute?
Or one?
That means one hour.
Grandson.
Grandson?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah?
Oh, so there's father, son, grandson.
You guys look similar ages though.
You sure?
Everything Hyundai?
Hyundai.
Guys, I'm mixing in Sinhala with a little bit of Urdu, a little bit of Hindi.
Whoa, we've got a little bit of fighting going on.
This is the thing I'm realizing about Indians.
They love to play fight.
They love to like...
I'm from England.
England?
Yeah, yeah.
I love India.
India is fantastic.
England, very nice.
Thank you.
You know going Manali?
Where?
Manali.
Muna?
Manali, Manali.
Manali very cool.
Very cool Manali.
Where's Manali?
It's Himachal Pradesh.
Himachal Pradesh.
All Manali, all English people.
Yeah?
There's no English people.
I don't want English people, I want Indians.
Indians.
A kidney rupee for the airpods.
Yes.
Good price.
Oh, whoa.
I've been here the whole time.
Brother.
Let's see.
Oh, whoa.
Are they real?
Bluetooth.
Not real?
Duplicate?
Yeah.
They're like the same...
They're not the airpods pro, they're the old airpods.
I used to have these.
I wonder.
I wonder if they work.
Brother.
I don't know what they're saying.
They're saying, hey.
Kidney rupee, brother.
Kidney.
Good price, good price.
500 rupees.
Oh, 500.
You check.
I have opened.
If you can.
Oh my God, you had them the whole time.
Kidney.
500 rupees.
You can do for me 300.
No possible.
No possible?
What's your best price?
400 rupees.
400?
Okay.
But first, we've got to try them.
Okay, so immediately, when I picked them up, they're very light.
And I have airpods.
They're airpods pros, so they're slightly heavier anyway.
But it's extremely light.
Okay, I try them.
Let's see.
Feels very light.
You look like the police.
It's red and blue flashing.
Oh, yeah?
Okay, let's give it a go.
No, no, no.
Okay, so we're connecting to I-12.
I-12 will come.
Connect it, connect it.
Okay.
Oh, they connect.
That's a good sign, that's a good sign.
Okay, let's put on some tunes.
No problem.
What song are you going to put on?
Some like heavy metal.
Maybe some Indian music.
Okay, connect.
Oh, wow, you can come up with the official airpod sign.
They're good.
Wow.
Let's put on some music.
I'll put some drum and bass on.
Oh, yeah?
Oh, they work.
Is it good quality?
Okay, very good.
I don't think it can hear me.
Good, good quality or does it sound like the bass?
How does it go?
The bass is not good.
Not good?
They work, they work.
For 400 rupees, you're going to be happy with that.
I like the blue casing as well.
No problem, bro.
Okay.
So how long will they last?
They last a long time?
Do you do one year warranty?
One year warranty?
So if they don't work, I come back?
Money back guarantee?
Thank you, sir.
Okay, okay, no problem.
I don't want my price, your price.
No problem.
100 rupees.
I'd say that's a bargain, if I were you.
Yeah.
Thank you very much.
Okay.
One more?
No, no, just one, just one.
This one?
No, no.
Okay.
My customer friend.
Okay, I'll buy two just for you.
I don't need two.
Why do I need two?
One more, sir.
Why, why?
You're a D.P.
D.P.
Okay, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, sir.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you.
He's my first customer.
This is my friend.
I don't need two.
Okay?
Only 350.
Not for me, not for me.
I would love to, but I don't need two.
Well, goodbye.
I only have two ears.
If I have four, I buy four.
Thank you very much, sir.
Thank you.
I had to be a little bit assertive there because, you know, otherwise I'll just end up getting
two pairs of AirPods when I already have, I already have a pair.
But I'd say that's pretty successful.
You guys can tell me in the comments.
We'll see how long they actually last.
I guess maybe, I think they'll last a decent amount of time.
But maybe if I drop them, they'll break.
But that's normal.
All right, guys.
Successful evening.
Really cool time here.
There's so much to do here.
You can never get bored.
And I actually was really surprised about how many different food options there are
here.
And yeah, so it's such a good evening here.
Thank you very much for watching.
Have an awesome time with the Aussie.
And I will see you guys in tomorrow's video.
