A Different Kind of TEXAS BBQ!!

[Music] hey this is your whole goat today i'm going to show you how we use what part of meat goes on what type of food and how we process the food [Music] [Applause] [Music] during this usa food series i've encountered powerful stories of immigrants who came here in search of better opportunities from somalia from southeast asia and if we're lucky these people bring their food with them adding to the stunning culinary diversity of this country this is like the best version of this type of meal i've ever had today i'm in search of a new story one that carries with it new ingredients how many spices do you think are in there like 12 new traditions and new recipes this is one of the most difficult item to cook because it has all born on it a diaspora of over 40 000 a population who traveled over 8 000 miles to set up shop here in dallas these spices are more like indian spices but i haven't seen them making this honestly i haven't either [Applause] [Music] this story begins on the edge of town in a cookie cutter suburb in this backyard food is being prepared that you won't see at your average cookout she is adding thick rice soaked overnight some sugar and some key to it meet my new friend bibek and his mother beyond there's the fun part they moved here from nepal in 2008. today we are making cel roti which is nepali donuts it's super common to have cell rotis in most of our festival like every household in nepal make it unlike most american donuts which use wheat flour the sal roti uses rice to create a dough batter this next step is the real deal and you won't find it duplicated at any crispy cream [Music] gentle but precise she pours the batter by hand into searing hot oil until it becomes visually crispy this authentic nepali suite is considered mandatory during hindu festivals and traditional events but if you're serving it with this a steamy spiced milk tea called chaya this becomes a heartwarming combination to welcome guests thank you so much for having me today welcome to my house it's early morning your mom made something incredible for us there's tea we call it can we try some of this yeah please [Music] oh that's nice a little bit sweet very milky starbucks got nothing on that thank you and tried cellulotic these look amazing it's so different from a normal donut because it's round and it's three-dimensional but it's all empty inside and then if you just take a bite of that and then try it with the tea it will change your um life change the taste of it too i love that you know different places have like coffee cake people like something sweet and bready with their coffee this is kind of a different version of that milky slightly sweet tea with some donuts is it customary for people to have a second one oh yeah definitely go for it these are so good thank you vivek was born and raised in nepal until the age of 19. in 2008 he moved to the u.s with his family now he helps manage the family business a restaurant offering a taste of nepal to all who enter i'm here to find out what makes this food stand out nepal and the usa especially dallas they're really freaking different it's definitely i mean what city were you in nepal i was in chitto a landlocked country in south asia geographically nepal is one of the most diverse countries in the world with elevations going from 180 feet to the top of mount everest it's home to 126 different ethnic groups many with their own language over 10 religions are practiced but the majority are hindu i noticed that you are hindu and you have a place where you can worship a place where you can offer food to the gods and are there hindu temples in dallas there is a big temple in irving and they are building a huge temple in ules where most of the nepalese people are living in that area so what about the food i want to ask about the preparation for this so first of all i was really surprised that it was made with rice and not something like wheat flour in nepal is rice more common than wheat oh yeah most meals have rice or a soup dish at least one meal of hour will have rice in it every day every day you'll find unique variations on asian themes some reflect influences from tibet and india some foods are indistinguishable from their neighbors and some oh some stand out quite a bit hey this is your whole goal meet tikash the dex brother today i'm going to show you how we use what part of meat goes on what type of food and how we process the food trained in australia bagash has a strong culinary foundation including 10 years of experience we have liver heart today he's going off menu breaking down and preparing this goat in more ways than one we have goat hay goat feet and incest time now for the whole goat we're at the gurkha bar and grill family owned and family run since 2019. we will butcher this into small cubes and then cook curry out of this meat that's one lake they offer traditional flavors of nepal with a smattering of indian tibetan pakistani and bengali dishes too in the kitchen and at the helm their father mr narayan i love all this i love cooking from my dad right now he will let me cook but he's the worst dog i woke up this morning i wanted 28 years experience in cooking south asian food mr narayan is the mind the heart and the soul of this restaurant you came here from nepal around early 2000's in nepal did you own a restaurant there did you cook i know in nepal he had a hardware business hardware how did you go from hardware to selling food there were more america so when i came to united states i had a friend's restaurant that's where i learned everything from so you have both here indian and nepali food yes india is right next door to nepal it's a massive country their cuisine gets so much attention so what sets nepal apart when it comes to food the challenge of operating a nepali restaurant is that not everyone knows what nepali food is many similar eateries in dallas market themselves as being indian or pakistani because that's what people are more familiar with but also because they have similar cooking styles and ingredients the food even though it's similar it will be different the way we make good the way we prepare chicken the way of preparing rice and bread making yogurt the difference between indian and nepali food is in the details in nepal cooking with cream or sugar is mostly avoided typical goat curry it's more like indian style this sauce is more thicker in nepali they make it more thin it's like a soup so that it will be easier for you to eat with rice then there's the spices many that are available only in nepal in the indian food there are more indian spices in our it's gonna be less indian spices so the seasoning is a little less intense i'm curious as a restaurant owner how do you market nepali food to people here in dallas so this is what we are using and it has worked so far for us for the first time visitors we introduce them the indian food and then on site we'll let them test the nepali food and then once they get the taste next time they'll order that food first before placing the order for the indian food running a restaurant is an uphill battle running a restaurant in a country that is not your own i cannot imagine but i'm drawn to these stories for a reason i like people who work i like people who make it through insurmountable odds and challenges and somehow find light on the other side across town another member from this community is also doing nepali food his way serving from inside a gas station don't worry we'll get back to that goat soon it would be really easy to miss this place there are no billboards no signs but after filling up your tank and on your way in to grab a gatorade and snickers you'll find this place tucked inside this is outstanding it's actually my first time shooting at a gas station how long have you had this place for one and a half years how come there's no signs outside it's like a little secret hideaway restaurant our customers almost 90 percent nepali and 10 other people they're a regular customer this hidden gem is known through word of mouth only they're famous for their momos is this food originally from nepal a type of dumpling that looks similar to those served in other asian countries but nepal offers a delicious twist what he's saying is momo is one of the oldest food from nepal well i think this is gonna be a very controversial video could be let's take a look at these comments later they load the meat inside with a long list of dynamic spices ginger garlic cilantro meat masala chopped onions chili powder butter oil salt and pepper are all mixed with ground chicken place the top a wheat based wrapper pinch and seal deep fry pan sear or steam if you're me you do all three [Music] so we have the momo here done in three different ways so these are all chicken so i want to try this steamed one oh it's so soft my mouth is watering like crazy the first one try it without the sauce and then the second one you can try it with the sauce this guy do you know my show that's what i do that's my thing oh okay [Music] that's so delicious meaty juicy that taste will change when you eat it with the sauce give that a dip so it's tomato based sauce i'm pretty sure he has more than seven spices what i love about it is if you have korean mandu sometimes they'll be kimchi inside and you'll have the same beautiful kind of sticky outer shell that's fun to chew on but the flavors are so different and so much more complex here these pan seared ones crunchy outer shell then that just warm meaty explosive inside i'm gonna try this fried one too they're so crunchy this is fantastic i've never had this delicious of a meal while sitting in a gas station it's very satisfying and it's a it's quite a unique setting i like it a lot of people are just walking by to grab the groceries yeah exactly [Music] gas stations used to offer a few mediocre foods that were convenient but not really delicious over time store owners have become more innovative and the quality and selections of foods has increased especially here in texas so 30 years ago a place like this probably wouldn't exist how long ago did you come from nepal almost five years oh pretty recent though right nepali americans have come to the u.s through student visas some as refugees but most have come by way of a diversity visa lottery he was in the diversity visa is a program where almost 40 50 000 people from different part of the world are selected and then brought to live in united states every year this is also the case for bibek and his family dallas has the largest nepali population in the usa as the population here grew there was a tipping point where this community became the most desirable as service providers sprung up to meet the unique needs of the nepali people so when we first get here it's difficult we need place to stay we have to look for work and friends if we need any help that's the reason why we pick dallas so there's kind of a community here a hub a network that could help you as you made the kind of transition from being in nepal to being here in the usa now in dallas you can find hindu temples nepali groceries and of course restaurants like this that serve nepali food but cater to the dallas community as a whole [Music] this is incredible meal before us this was all a goat until you got around to breaking it down into little tiny pieces right well done you're saying we have to try this immediately yes okay pull up it's the part that this is hakula yup this part right here out of 45 pound goat we can only get 20 pieces of those the beauty of this is we don't season with anything we just grill them and then serve with special chutney made of coriander mint szechuan pepper red chili pepper and salt cheers cheers well done thank you just a natural roasted goat flavor coming off that it's a little protein even the fat has kind of cooked so that you could eat that alone it would still be delicious back home when we were like small babies i'll do anything to get one piece of this it's crunchy it has some juice on it longer you chew better to taste right it's like chewing extra gum uh-huh goat flavor and this goes really good with the beer i like that before the food gets called we need to try this item second that's the interest time so you can just dig in now is that on the menu here no no honestly intestines are kind of hit or miss because they can be really gaming the way we cook this is we clean it first we boil it and then we clean it again so it's clean thoroughly i like hearing that right the intestine liver heart and kidney are sauteed with cumin seeds red pepper bay leaves cinnamon sticks star nice green cardamom cloves minced ginger and garlic plate serve and eat [Music] liver is good the intestine looks like it's gotten a little bit crispy and there's a load of spices on here all part of india and their culture i haven't seen them making this this is perfect there's no gamey flavor to this it definitely tastes like some nice turmeric coming through there's the great texture coming from the intestines so it's a little chewy for people in the u.s they had calamari that wasn't too over fried that was a little more thick it's like the calamari of the goat this is the soup right here i should also say this is not sold at the restaurant if you're ready to venture deeper into nepali cuisine may i suggest this goat head and foot soup this is one of the most difficult item to cook because it has all born on it so this is super tricky it needs so much of experience and you have to watch your parents doing it before you actually can do this it's really dark you have to be really careful their teeth are super sharp take this out and this all goes in your soup saute chopped onions with cumin seeds whole red chili peppers and black pepper edmonds ginger garlic turmeric powder and a dash of salt next add the meat water then more cumin powder coriander powder and garam masala stir and let it simmer for three to four hours you'll know it's ready when the meat and the cartilage are completely soft and tender i would do like a little bit of soup and then a piece of meat and then with that bone you can get the bone marrow too i just want to try this broth first [Music] it is such a full complex rock it mean to keep your body warmer yeah i could picture that especially if it's cold it's like very nourishing it's very hearty it's got a lot of fat it's got collagen ladies women that are always putting the mask on at night you don't eat it you just need to eat another animal's face it'll help your face it's a tongue of a goat right what is that it's a joint like an ankle and that's the way to eat it there's all these little pockets of bone marrow ligaments fat and they're all just dripping off so most of the nepali food are meant to make your immune system better so they also consume this food when you have cold this is your version of chicken noodle soup yep this is your first time trying nepali food right how do you like so far i like it i do find it difficult sometimes differentiating between what is from this country what's from that country but i've never really had dishes like this in india at all with the feet with the face of a goat the intestines is really unique and very special we have all different kind of group of people in nepal we are influenced from india we are influenced from tibet and then we make the fusion ourselves a lot of people may not understand like food it's not like locked at the borders it's more like a gradient so it makes sense that you're more similar to what's nearby tibet north india and of course everything else you come up with yourself gentlemen this has been a great experience for me because i came to dallas i knew a little bit about texas the things that everyone knows barbecue brisket but to find this community here that's very vibrant alive supporting each other while at the same time inviting the bigger community to come in and to enjoy this culture and the food it's awesome so thank you so much and can i eat the rest of that all right cool let's eat i mean let's keep eating yeah best ever food review show is a small team of independent creators and everything we do here works because of you guys click
