Welcome to Brother's Dhaba.
First of all, thank you for giving us your time.
The lunch hour is going on and you have a busy kitchen.
Customers are coming from far and wide.
I want to ask you something special.
People come to Amritsar for sightseeing.
In Amritsar, whether you ask people for a place to visit or not,
they always ask for the address of your Dhaba.
Our Dhaba is more than 100 years old.
We are trying our best to continue the legacy of our ancestors.
And the biggest thing is that Babaji's hand is on our head.
So, we are moving ahead with that.
Ma'am, there are so many old Dhaba's in your city.
But what do you give so that people come to your Dhaba?
Our food is pure desi ghee.
And our rates are very nominal.
Everyone can afford it.
And what's in these plates, ma'am?
This is Amritsar's specialty, Amritsari Kulcha.
If people come to Amritsar and don't eat this, it's not possible.
Check out Amritsari Kulcha with white butter.
And check out the line-up of orders.
There's a crowd of customers outside for Amritsari Kulcha.
And ma'am, how much does this plate cost?
This Kulcha costs Rs. 50.
And this is also pure desi ghee.
Wow!
Ma'am, show us the entire kitchen.
First of all, we welcome you all.
This is our Makki ki Roti.
So, today is your lucky day.
Our Makki ki Roti and Saag has started.
And you are here.
So, it's opening today?
Yes.
The Saag and Makki ki Roti of 2023 will start from today.
Wow!
So, I'll be the first one to eat this.
Absolutely.
Ma'am, you didn't tell us your name.
My name is Vipha.
Dhaba's legacy is its dal.
And even though we have very few options...
...people still enjoy eating it.
Wow!
We've eaten 4-5 different types of thalias.
Ma'am, I can see that people enjoy eating it...
...but they also enjoy eating it as well.
Absolutely.
When tourists from outside come to Amritsar...
...and have food with us for 2-3 days...
...it's a big deal for us.
This is our dal makhani.
You'll get it at all our outlets.
This is our chana masala.
Wow!
This is Amritsari chole.
It's known all over the world.
Yes, it's known all over the world.
And this is our desi ghee tadka.
Our elders have made this recipe...
...that everything will have desi ghee in it.
Wow!
This is our special butter paneer gravy.
Butter paneer masala, mushroom butter masala...
...and its combos are very famous at our dhaba.
Very good!
This is kadhai paneer.
The real kadhai paneer is very thick.
This is our shahi paneer.
Punjabi thali is incomplete without any dhaba.
Shahi paneer and dal...
...you can tell from these two things...
...how old it is.
This is our malai kofta gravy.
This is our palak paneer.
Palak and paneer...
...the color of palak paneer is so beautiful.
This is our Majitha Road outlet.
It's very popular here.
And the most important thing about this outlet is...
...the kadhi here.
Kadhi and pakoda?
Yes!
People from Amritsar love this kadhi so much...
...that there's a long queue for it.
There's a long queue for kadhi?
Wow!
Let me turn the camera and show you the dhaba behind you.
There's a window in front of you.
If you want to sit in the car and eat...
...or if you're packing from outside...
...there's a dhaba on either side.
If you want a seating arrangement...
So, there's a customer on either side?
Yes!
Very good!
You'll get a brother dhaba.
And as I told you...
...today is your lucky day...
...since you didn't get makki ki roti...
...so this is our sarson ka saag.
Wow! Look at this desi ghee saag!
This saag has already been...
...fried in desi ghee.
This looks like a desi ghee saag tadka.
Look at this!
There's saag, desi ghee and onions in the middle.
Very nice!
Let's check out the lineup.
You have a lot of thali, right?
Yes, we have special thali...
...Indian thali, roti thali, butter naan thali...
...we have all kinds of thali.
And you have a lot of butter naan combos, right?
We have butter naan with naan...
...kadhi chawal, rana chawal...
...pulao rice, daal chawal...
...whatever you like!
So, you have a complete menu!
Please show us the thali.
This is our special...
...amritsar thali.
Wow!
This is the legacy thali of our dhaba.
So, you have large-sized lachha parathas.
Yes, large-sized lachha parathas.
We have dal makhani...
...chana masala, paneer...
...rice, raita...
...salad, two parathas...
...and one papad.
And all the preparation is made with desi ghee, right?
Yes, pure desi ghee.
I told you that...
...the recipe that our elders taught us...
...is what keeps us moving forward.
And this is our special...
...Indian thali because...
...there are a lot of locals...
...who haven't cooked at home...
...and want to come out and eat.
So, this is a very simple and good thali for them.
It has yellow dal.
That's why we named it Indian thali.
I think a lot of wives...
...fight over this thali.
And this is our rajma chawal combo.
Rajma chawal.
And this is our special...
...kadhi chawal.
These are our kids.
And there are medical colleges nearby.
And if the kids want to eat something home-made...
...they come here a lot.
We also have a special discount for students.
You give a discount to students?
I'm also a student now.
So, this is the ambience.
We have both the thalis.
This is a very heavy thali.
And in Amritsar...
...I've seen a lot of craze for two things.
If you don't live in Amritsar...
...or if you don't come from Punjab...
...prepare for this.
You'll get a lot of butter and ghee.
Because here, you eat with an open heart.
Look at this kulcha.
Amritsari kulcha for Rs.50.
It's full of butter.
So much white butter on top.
Along with it, we have chole.
Let's go to the thali later.
Let's taste this first.
Look at this. White butter.
And here we have...
...Amritsari chole.
This kulcha is very crunchy.
Amritsar has a different flavor.
You don't get kulcha with white butter.
Now, let's taste the main thing.
For which, for 105-106 years...
...they've been known as the special thali.
Salad, rice, dal...
...desi ghee, chole...
...paneer, butter masala...
...and raita.
Desi ghee parathas.
In many places...
...when a vlogger comes with a camera...
...they put a lot of ghee.
But in Amritsar...
...it's the same as a vlogger.
They put a lot of ghee.
So, let's start with the first thing.
Here we have...
...the dal with ghee.
It's such a flavor.
We cover a lot of dhabas.
And the dal there...
...you can eat 2-3 times a week.
But it's such a flavor...
...that your soul needs a taste.
So, what you need is...
...it's been a long time...
...and you haven't had anything tasty.
So, you come here...
...and you put this much ghee.
You'll get this in Amritsar.
Next, we have the paneer.
And the paneer is also made...
...with proper desi ghee.
Look at the smooth texture.
The vegetables are well-blended.
It's such a flavor.
In paneer butter masala...
...the sweetness is good.
If you don't like sweets...
...you can have it with karahi.
Or you can have it with green chilies.
You'll enjoy the view with green chilies.
This is something...
...that you get in every street...
...in every shop.
I thought they'd be the same...
...but they're less spicy...
...and a little spicy.
Overall, the thali is amazing.
Amritsar food is amazing.
I love Amritsar food.
I love you with Amritsar.
If you love Amritsar...
...I love Punjab.
If you like the videos...
...the channel will grow.
It'll be fun.
See you in the next video.
