03:20The Indian food is characterized by spicy and stunned flavors.
03:25In Japan, it is called Indian curry because it is a stewed dish using Indian spices.
03:35The food culture is also different depending on the region.
03:39For example, in northern India, where there is a lot of wheat cultivation, bread is made with wheat flour such as chapati or naan.
03:48In southern India, where rice is flourishing, they often eat plate dishes with rice.
03:56There are a number of dishes that are filled with the love of Karel Ram, who wants to provide a pleasant time to the visitors and give them energy.

04:39From JR Takasaki Station Higashiguchi to Toho.
04:43There is an Indian restaurant called Star Sanji Raviwan Takasaki on the 5th floor of Yamada Electric Raviwan Life Select Takasaki.
04:52Of course, they are particular about the interior of the restaurant so that you can enjoy the atmosphere of India.
05:00If you go through the entrance, you can feel the feeling of a foreign country.
05:07They provide Indian cuisine using a lot of spices.
05:11It is also popular with people who like curry, people who are not good at spicy food, and children.
05:21I eat it almost every weekend.
05:26I really like Indian curry and I love this restaurant.
05:32I recommend this cheese naan set.
05:35Vegetable curry set.
05:37There are also quite large vegetables.
05:39Spicy chicken vegetable stir-fry set.
05:42This is also delicious.
05:44The twin curry rice set is also very delicious.
05:47The staff is friendly and we are very interested in India.
05:53They always tell us about Indian food and stories, so I like it very much.
06:00There are six levels of spiciness.
06:04I like spicy food, so I always eat hot food.
06:08It is very delicious.
06:10I really like biryani and I always eat it deliciously.
06:14I go to this restaurant on a regular basis.
06:18Some of my colleagues go to this restaurant every day, so I am grateful that this is a popular restaurant.
06:24Curry and naan set.
06:26I think it's a menu that you won't get tired of eating every day.
06:31From here, we will introduce the popular menu of Star Sanju.
06:35The first dish is tandoori chicken.
06:38It originated in the north of India, in the Punjab region.
06:41It is a dish that cooks chicken with spices in a pot called tandoor.
06:48It is cooked for about two days in an air-conditioned room.
06:53I put it in the refrigerator and make it as soon as I receive an order.
06:57I add red yogurt sauce and bake it in a pot.
07:02There are about 30 kinds of air-conditioning.
07:07Let's make tandoori chicken.
07:11Transfer the chicken that has been marinated for two days to a bowl and rub in the sauce.
07:17There are two types of sauce hidden in the store to decide the taste.
07:21The sauce contains ginger, garlic, spices, etc.
07:25The sauce contains yogurt, paprika, spices, etc.
07:30This vivid red is the natural color of fresh paprika.
07:35When the taste is familiar, insert it into a special long skewer.
07:39This skewer is the point when you bake the meat later.
07:44The feature of tandoori chicken in India is that chicken is used with bones.
07:50If you bake it without bones, the name of the dish will change.
07:57Here comes the tandoor.
08:00The inside is a deep chimney.
08:03After fixing the chicken skewer vertically,
08:09put the lid on and bake for about 15 minutes.
08:15Use a circular iron wire to heat the chicken, not directly to the fire.
08:22You can get the umami without burning the sauce because you use a metal skewer and bake it floating in the air.
08:32It looks delicious.
08:37Let's serve it.
08:40Heat the iron plate over direct heat.
08:44Add butter and vegetables.
08:48Here we go.
08:50First, cut the carrot thickly.
08:53Cut the cabbage into thin slices.
08:56Heat the vegetables with the heat of the iron plate.
09:00Here's a trick.
09:02Add more flavor with butter and spices to the baked meat.
09:06You can enjoy the unique flavor of Indian cuisine because you can add various spices in three stages.
09:19Finally, put the finished chicken on top of the vegetables.
09:25The popular Indian dish is done.
09:28Let's eat.
09:30The outside is savory and the inside is tenderly baked tandoori chicken.
09:38The harmony of various spices is unique to Indian cuisine.
09:46The size of the bone is large, so it's easy to eat.
09:51Let's eat the freshly baked tandoori chicken.
09:58The volume of the bone makes the customers smile.
10:04I'll eat the hot chicken.
10:08Tandoori chicken is delicious even if you eat it as it is, but you can change the taste with a separate sauce.
10:16I'll try the exciting hot sauce and the refreshing green sauce.
10:24How does it taste?
10:27It's hot.
10:29It's delicious.
10:31The meat is moist.
10:34It's easy to eat because there's no fat in the chicken.
10:38It's good to have a lot of meat.
10:43It's important to have a lot of meat.
10:45I think it's better to have a lot of meat.
10:49I think it's better to have a lot of meat.
10:53After this, we will introduce the popular menu of Star Sanji, vegetable pulao.
10:59It is an Indian-style rice dish that uses spices and stir-fries various vegetables with rice.
11:06It is a popular menu for women because it contains a lot of vegetables.
11:16It's delicious.
11:17Let's find out the secret of the deliciousness of vegetable pulao.
11:26The second popular Indian dish is vegetable pulao.
11:30Star Sanji finely adjusts the spices, ingredients, and cooking methods used according to the menu.
11:37This vegetable pulao seems to have realized a taste that can be satisfied without meat.
11:42There are 10 kinds of spices, such as ginger, onion, bell pepper, fennel, curry powder, and mushroom.
11:55I didn't add any spices.
11:59It has a taste of spices.
12:02Let's start cooking the vegetable pulao.
12:05Start cooking.
12:07First, add a lot of oil to a heated frying pan and stir-fry the spices and onions.
12:14Oil and spices go well together.
12:17Let the oil melt with a rich aroma.
12:22Next, add vegetables.
12:25The point is to make a texture that you can enjoy by adding chickpeas, lotus roots, etc.
12:32When the vegetables are cooked, add the base and seasonings in order.
12:38Add salt to tighten the taste.
12:41Use several kinds of spices to add depth to the dish.
12:46India is known for having a large proportion of vegetarians, which is said to be the world's largest vegetarian country.
12:52India has a wide variety of vegetables, and the cooking method has developed so that the taste and umami will be stronger without using meat.
13:02In this restaurant, we prepare a curry or set that does not use meat.
13:07It is also popular with customers who want to eat a lot of vegetables.
13:11When the ingredients are cooked, add Indian rice and indica rice and stir-fry further.
13:17If you mix the ingredients, seasonings, and oil soaked in the aroma of spices with the rice, you will get a three-dimensional taste.
13:27Here is the finishing spice.
13:30When you add it, stir-fry it while looking at the frying pan.
13:38Finally, serve it on a plate.
13:41This is a lot for one person.
13:44Indica rice is shining brightly.
13:49Sprinkle with fried onions and the vegetable pulao is complete.
13:56Pulao, an Indian rice dish, has a different way of using ingredients and cooking depending on the store and home.
14:04Vegetables are one of the main ingredients without meat.
14:08It's not spicy, but it's spicy.
14:10You can enjoy the taste of India that is different from curry.
14:31How does it taste?
14:33It's delicious.
14:35It tastes like authentic Indian food.
14:41There are a lot of vegetables in it, but the vegetables are bigger than regular fried rice.
14:47It's fried rice with a strong taste of spices.
14:50It's delicious.
15:01I'm very happy to be able to eat food with a lot of vegetables for lunch.
15:10Karel Ram, who worked as a chef in Fukuoka Prefecture from 2004 to 2005.
15:16His friend lives in Omama Town, Midori City, Gunma Prefecture.
15:21He wanted to know the taste of India by knowing that there are few curry shops in Omama Town, Midori City, Gunma Prefecture.
15:26So he opened a store in Midori City.
15:30After that, he opened a store in Annaka City, Tomioka City, and Isesaki City.
15:36He is looking for further development to spread the taste of India.
15:41I'm a chef.
15:44I came to Fukuoka Prefecture in 2004 and opened a store in 2008.
15:50I started in Midori City.
15:52Karel loves Japanese food.
15:55So I thought it would be good to open a store in Midori City.
15:58At first, I didn't know Japanese.
16:02It was hard for me.
16:05It's been about 16 years.
16:07But I'm getting used to it.
16:11Indian curry is a combination of a lot of Indian spices and stewed food.
16:19The reason why it's called curry is that Indian spice soup spread all over the world.
16:25The theory that the English word curry spread is strong.
16:29There are mainly three characteristics of Indian curry.
16:33The first is that it combines various spices.
16:37Coriander, cumin, and turmeric are often used.
16:42It combines various spices and adjusts the amount, timing, and way of cooking.
16:48It brings out the aroma and flavor.
16:52The second characteristic is that it is finished in a short time using a strong fire.
16:57It is finished at once with a strong fire as if making a stir-fry.
17:02The moisture of the ingredients is removed and the umami is trapped.
17:07However, depending on the menu, it may take a long time to prepare.
17:12For example, in Star Sanji, it takes a whole day to prepare a base that determines the taste of curry.
17:19By making a base with a secret recipe and combining it, a complex flavor is created.
17:27The third characteristic is that there are many types of menus.
17:31There are different recipes in each region, home, and shop, and there are countless types.
17:38The staple food of Indian curry is flatbread baked in flour and rice.
17:47For example, in Star Sanji, there are 34 types of Indian curry and 13 types of naan.
17:54You can choose rice from Japanese rice and Indian rice.
17:58The base of Indian curry in this shop has four basic types.
18:03By combining a variety of cooking methods such as a variety of spices, vegetables, and meat,
18:11we have devised a way to provide a rich variation of the real taste.
18:17Not only the spiciness, but also the amount of spices is not spicy.
18:21Yes, it's not spicy.
18:24We only use chili pepper for spiciness, so it's better to eat curry with a high amount of spices.
18:34After this, we will introduce butter chicken curry, which is recommended by both Indians and Japanese among the 34 types of Indian curry in the shop.
18:46Using tomato base, various spices, and chicken, the real Indian curry is mild with butter and fresh cream.
19:01It's delicious.
19:03The combination with naan baked in tandoor is also excellent.
19:07We will actually make such butter chicken curry.
19:16The third popular menu of Star Sanji is butter chicken curry, which is popular for its spicy and mild taste.
19:25It is also attractive that you can adjust the spiciness according to your taste.
19:29As a staple food to eat together, you can also bake familiar naan.
19:33This is tomato-based butter chicken curry.
19:36It has 34 types of spices, fresh cream, butter, and sweetness.
19:45The spices make a big difference.
19:49Even if you eat it, your body will be energetic.
19:53How spicy is it?
19:56It's very spicy.
19:58What is your recommendation?
20:01It's about level 3.
20:04It's a little spicy.
20:06First, let's start with butter chicken curry.
20:09The basic taste of tomato base and onion base are mixed and heated over high heat.
20:15It is a feature of Indian cuisine to call it a base, not a soup.
20:21After adding the main ingredient, chicken, salt and spices are added to adjust the taste.
20:27How many spices can be added at what timing?
20:32This is the biggest point that determines the flavor of Indian curry.
20:37If you add a seasoning liquid that determines the spiciness, you can mix it further.
20:43Let's cook it over high heat and extract the aroma of spices and the umami of the ingredients.
20:49While looking at the situation, seasonings, spices and bases are added.
20:53Add the base.
20:55This is also the highlight of the craftsmen.
20:59However, since the fire is strong, you need to be careful not to burn it.
21:04If it burns, it will be too bitter.
21:07Mix it properly without taking your eyes off the frying pan and cook it thoroughly in a short time.
21:15Add fresh cream to finish.
21:18If you mix it well and add richness as a whole, you can serve it on a plate.
21:25It is said that stainless dishes often used in India have the effect of preventing the color of the spice.
21:32It is a dish that is easy to remove oil stains and is perfect for curry.
21:38Finally, add butter and fresh cream.
21:43Butter Chicken Curry is complete.
21:49Next, I will introduce how to make naan.
21:54This shop starts making naan dough the day before.
21:58This is a dough that has been kneaded for a day by kneading flour and yogurt.
22:06After using both hands to stretch it into a triangle,
22:10open the lid of the tandoor and stick it inside the oven.
22:15This is also a trick to stick it well.
22:19Cover and wait for a while.
22:23Now it's baked.
22:26The inside of the tandoor is very hot.
22:30Use a spatula and a metal skewer to remove it from the wall of the oven so that it does not burn.
22:37After putting it in a basket, put the finished butter all over it.
22:42The plain naan is complete.
22:46It has a nice brown color.
22:52Star Sanji's popular menu, Butter Chicken Curry.
22:56Add chicken to the base with tomato and onion flavor.
23:00Season with several types of spices, butter, and fresh cream.
23:05The outside is crispy and the inside is chewy.
23:08The outside is crispy and the inside is chewy.
23:12Eat it with naan.
23:15I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
23:17Four types of tomato-based butter chicken curry.
23:20It's a chewy naan.
23:23The four spices are normal spiciness in Japan and easy to eat.
23:33How does it taste?
23:36It's delicious.
23:38You can choose the spiciness.
23:41The naan is delicious.
23:43It's fluffy and has a lot of butter.
23:48It's a little different from other curry shops because it doesn't have a lot of spices.
23:56I think it's close to the authentic taste, so I like it better.
24:11It's been 20 years since he came to Japan.
24:14He is now the owner of six shops.
24:19He continues to run towards his new dream.
24:24I'm thinking of making curry udon.
24:28Curry pasta, too.
24:30It's for India.
24:33I've challenged many times.
24:35I'm thinking of opening an Asian restaurant.
24:41I'm going to do my best.
24:47Indian cuisine started with the desire to spread the taste of motherland, India, in Japan.
24:54He wants to give people who visit his shop a fun time.
24:59His desire to give energy to the mind and body with Indian cuisine is spreading little by little in Japan.
25:11A new dream he has.
25:14A shop specializing in noodles and spices using curry.
25:19There is no end to his dream of loving the taste of India and loving spices.
25:27An endless dream that expands through food.
25:32The dream of a single chef has become a new bridge between India and Japan.
25:38The circle of interaction continues to spread to the big things.
25:42Tomorrow, why don't you visit Gunma Prefecture, Takasaki City, and experience the heart of India?
