I like Teluguruchi - Cooking Videos,Cooking Tips. Their recipes are awesome and are to the point without any bragging.
Oh Amulu, there were no plunging necklines in mia kitchen. But she talks in an innocent Thrissur malayalam slang,talks very genuine and readers connect with her emotionally. Thats the reason for her success,I guess! Unlike the video you mentioned, Joycy( her real name) did teach her viewers some really good Kerala recipes.
I like a few no-frills blogs: Padhuskitchen, Hebbar’s Kitchen, Jeyashri’s Kitchen, Raks Kitchen, Cooking and Me , Anyone can Koch, Ecurry, Sanjana Feasts and Ministry of Curry.
I feel the same. Yesterday I tried out a chutney shown by a lady she tasted and says so yum and u won’t regret the efforts, and shared a story behind the recipe. I tried implementing the same, irony is I make better chutney without her recipe. Not sure how others were commenting how it was yum. I did exact same to Same. Another one, one lady told to put cauliflower in IP for 5min qpr. I only put 1min still turned out mushy, cauliflower espl needs to be little raw to have better taste. All these u get by few trials and experiments in ur own way. From recently I started watching recipes only the ones have good comments and reviews and views. Or else I pass following such. Though vah re vah has good recipes, but his recipes too not all of them turn out good after trying it. I tried out his veggie biryani recipe, he tells to add the whole biryani masala package to the recipe. And I was cooking for few ppl w good amt of veggies and rice still the whole pack of biryani was so over powering and spicy to handle.
Any recipe w 2-5min without having to see someone explai once I like a recipe, trying to put in note and save. So I don’t have to go search for the video and waste time.
For some reason videos without talk put on some infernal music. Like heart throbbing, speedy gonzalez tune. I used to hear such music in the annual sales meetings in America. After a couple of seconds one has to jump and mute that nonsense. Vah Chef starts with a horrendous racket in the background, and in Hebbar's kitchen it is noisy throughout that makes you miss the subtitles where they tell you about the amount of stuff that is being added to the skillet. Once upon a time I taught coffee making to a bunch of firangi girls....in the 50-60 age group. Couple of women used smartphones to videotape, (my hands, and a few other pairs of hands show in the video that made the circuit in some foreign whatsapp circles), and because much of the proceedings were noisy on their own (kitchen hood fan, and the coffee roasting popcorn machine making a ruckus during roasting the green coffee, and then grinding coffee beans) the video would'a been terribly artificial if all of that is substituted with some Hebbar Kitchen type music. Why couldn't they find some gentle and soothing veena twangs when making what is essentially Udupi cuisine ? Oh.. well.
