fyi--- tamarind is called imly in hindi

watch @0:33 ...he says loud and clear use 4-5 spoonfuls of imly.... when he explains the meaning of the word...even then he clearly specifies "Huli" means "imly"

I see even south indians mis-pronouning hindi words all the time...nothing wrong with it...its just that your tongue cannot get certain accents in their original form-and its ok....I had an excellent maths teacher-who used to pronounce "m" as "yemm"..some of the great scientists in their lectures mispronounce languages not native to them....this guy who is giving out recipes is not there coz of his expertise in communication..he is there coz he is good in cooking...I live in US-and I can't many pronounce many words in the american accent. while giving presentations -yet people accept it graciously...if we start reprehending everyone for little things..world will be miserable.

hahaha yes it is imly of course.... it is there in the recipe/ ingredients used by the contestants,,,, not in the final review ...no .. the main issue here actually was ,,,ridicule.. the host was ridiculing south indians which is what i was against in the first place,,,and it was my contention too to give credit where due
If u read my first post and then a reply from another reader u will see that i missed the part where he used the 'huli' and i have apologised for it.
What i did see that day was the final recipe and that is why i said there was no 'huli'
I am all for acceptance
but... i believe in learning too...at least give it a good shot
👍🏼 😃
