Chef Gordon Ramsay is a delight to watch on television and his shows keep everyone entertained to the fullest. His wit and sense of humour is what makes the British man such a star on screen.
A lover of the culinary blessing that is India, Ramsay frequently visits the country to indulge in its diverse food culture.?

In a video posted by National Geographic, the Michelin-star chef can be seen visiting a South Indian household where he is offered Indian food. Finding the dish too spicy for his taste buds, Ramsay asks for a 'fire extinguisher' as a joke implying that the dish's hotness level is too much for him.?
A woman, whose house it probably is, tells him there's a way to make the dish less spicy and invites him to grate some coconut with her.?

For those who do not know, Indians have an age-old technique of grating coconut which involves a person positioning the coconut at the helm of a knife or grater and putting pressure on the shell of the coconut to move it around for easier grating.
Trying to imitate the woman's actions, Ramsay says- "It's like the most awkward yoga pose ever". After struggling with the coconut grater, the chef gives up and grates it with his hands.?

Like the woman told him, the dish became bearable after the addition of some coconut milk.?
It is uncertain whether the video was shot before the pandemic or after since none of the participants in the clip are wearing face masks - Ramsay had been travelling in and around Kerala before the pandemic happened.?
Ramsay's love for India is unconditional and he wants to open his own Indian restaurant here one day. He said,?"There are very few countries in the world that have such unique diverse flavours from north to south and then east to west. Every state, every region in India has its own speciality in food. I have been coming to India for so many years, and every time I explore something new. It's the love of local people that compels me to visit the country again and again. I really want to open my restaurant for the Indian people in India."
