I discovered it by accident while surfing the channels 2 days back and have been addicted to it ever since. The first Indian TV channel dedicated solely to food! Wow!
I have watched 2 episodes of "Sanjeev Kapoor's Kitchen" (this channel is his brainchild, by the way) And Rakesh Sethi's "Chai Nashta". Loved both of them.
I have watched single episode of "Khata Rahe Mera Dil" so far. This one took the viewers on a tour of eating joints in Kolkata - right from Momos and Kheema-stuffed Parathas to the famous Bengali dessert - Sondesh. Simply Yum!
I didn't like "Turban Tadka" though. The chef kept on saying "Bhai" at the end of every sentence - as if to emphasize his Punjabi roots . Not that it wasn't apparent from the turban he was wearing! I got bored and changed channel halfway through the program. I am not likely to watch it again. Similarly, the program "Ready Steady Cook" hosted by Roshni Chopra was high on hype and low on content. I am not going to be one of its repeat viewers.
I hope they launch a website soon. I would really love to see a comprehensive listing of places to eat - especially small road-side eateries - across the whole width and breadth of the country. That will help me plan out the culinary journey that I am hoping to make across India one day.
Till then, I am more than happy to watch this true-blue desi foodie channel :-)
This is indeed a very good start towards the cookery shows...where it used to be once or twice a week or mon-thu...but this is indeed just an awesome move...I'd say Hats Off to the brilliant brain that thought of such a wonderful plan n made my "once Upon a time dream True" I've watched all the programs ... n i liked them all....I would disagree with swapnagandha ...for her comment on Turban Tadka....coz i feel...thats not supposed be declaring the program bad...He too present good dishes ...n very rarely u come across the punjabis,the south indians etc who dont have their mother tongue...or their style not being their very close associate!!!
ReplyDeleteI woul want this Channel never to come to an end.....Its simply greaaaatttt
