The video is a travelogue by Trevor James who is in Amritsar, a city in northern India, specifically in Punjab. He is there for a street food tour and is excited about the local cuisine. He explains that they flew in from Kolkata specifically to eat and fell in love with the Punjabi food immediately. He mentions that there's a rich vegetarian culture in the region and a world-famous Sikh temple that attracts millions of visitors per year, the Golden Temple.
Trevor and his companions start their tour with the most famous street food from Amritsar, the Kulcha, a baked bread stuffed with a potato and onion mix. They are taken into the kitchen to watch the process of making these fresh stuffed Kulchas. Trevor and his companions also try a classic breakfast on the street side in Amritsar, finding huge plump pooris being made and served with a thick and flavorful chick pea curry.
They then explore deeper into Amritsar's back alleyways and find a random corner shop that had a huge selection of snacks, like gulab jamun sweet dough balls, more of that semolina pudding, fried pastries, and a flat grill covered in a chicken and tofu curry, both drizzled in ghee.
Later, they visit a famous lassi joint where they are invited into the back kitchen to watch the magic. They are mixing up all of this curd in a big jug, and pouring out each glass of this lassi, which is sweet, kind of like a butter milk.
After that, they make their way to try the most iconic curry joint in all of Punjab, the 100-year-old Kessar Da Dhaba, where each curry is made with 100% pure desi ghee, AKA, clarified butter. They are allowed to take a look in the back kitchen and smell the incredible aroma of spices, butter, and naan bread all being pumped out of the tandoor oven.
Finally, they try a few more street foods with the little room they had left, starting with the famous mango leather stall, where they take mango, cover it in tons of spices and mouth-puckering sauces. They also try the specialty mango, dried mango, and a mango roll with salt. Trevor concludes that the best Indian vegetarian meal that he's ever had was at Kessar Da Dhaba.
