Good for the fellow Prashant or whatever to get a chance to boast on Al Jazzeera which nobody watches in India, because no one knows him in India

There is something very misleading at 3:18: The cousin says this is very cheap at half a rupee for that meal, and the cousin, Ms. Gopalan says "Half a US Dollar", which amounts to Rs. 22.50. From my experiences at India, that dish probably costs half a USD, which is 22.50 Rs. Oh yeah, at 4:50, she mentions that she is Malayalee and that she's not familiar with Islamic culture. Is this woman living in a hole? Kerala, where Malayalam is spoken, has a 20%+ Islamic population!

i don't understand what some of the really controversial parts have to do with street food. seems like she's more interested in the other than actual street-food. weird. btw just found out abt that Bollywood "STAR" right now. lol

@merchette14 this is 1% of indian cuisine, there is sooooo much variety you should go to kerela, rent a boat on the back wates and eat south indian food or go to Meghalaya and eat east indian, it is like two different worlds...you won't even feel it is in the same country.

@MrHeartbroken01 actually there are quite a few pakistani students in india but most of them are pakistani british so they have british passport, but there are pakistanis from pakistan also...especially students.

@MonogrammedMarxist but i dont think from her accent that she was brought up in kerala or india for that matter, but working for al jazeera i thought she should have researched!

i am so happy to see this video, I am from Trinidad in the west Indies and of east Indian decent but live in the USA, My dream is to visit my mother country. I would really like to know all about the cultures, I know its alot like our culture in Trinidad. My Grandmother Never got comfortable living in Trinidad and had dreams off returning home one day, she passed way couldn't make that dream happen. I share her dream and will visit her country.

these bitches like to eat, greedy

The cousins showing the place do not seem to be fully familiar with Maharashtrian culture. People do NOT eat pithala bhakari just because it is cheap. In fact it is not always cheap. And what she implies is no rich man eats this food. May be these girls do not have taste buds developed for it or may it is not particularly good that particular place but pithala bhakari for me and many maharashtrians is absolutely delicious.
