Karan is absolutely amazing on camera, so so charismatic. Gotta bring him back for a chef skills battle

[thisisaname]

For a non like Youtuber, Karan had some really good screen presence. Didn't stammer on his words a lot and never felt awkward in a conversation. Definitely one of the better guests you guys have had.

[Getpojke]

Haha, I don't know if that "blooper" at the end was staged or not but Barry's face & tone of voice was a peach.
Karan has good screen presence, very relaxed in front of the camera, would be good to see him back as a guest again. Was great to see him build the curry the way he did.

[louisegolding]

Barry’s face during the blooper off cut thing has got to be one of my favourite parts of the entire video.

[wietse]

Karan seems like such a lovely guy. Also, this video genuinely was very helpful!

[Shelsight]

Got to say guys - this format is a winner. So much theory & practical info in one video.
- You help us by summarising the 3 main mistakes people make with a dish
- normals cooking on their own with no interruptions from chefs (to show real life)
- then pro chef doing & explaining it step-by-step, with each normal helping
- then a recap re the mistakes & tips
- then a leftovers recipe
Just LOVE this approach in addition to the other video concepts. It’s like Ben’s ‘like a chef’ short fri videos, but with you all. Can’t wait for the next one...

Barry’s look of pure horror when Ben says “same thing as when you wrestle - you oil up so you don’t stick”😆 Epic moment

[jennygibbons]

Just watched this with my 6 year old daughter, she then wanted to watch more so we've just ended up in a pass it on marathon. It becomes Barry's turn and She's just announced "Opps Barry again" in the most deadpan voice I've ever heard and all I could do was laugh.

[januzzell]

I love that Ben and Karan refrained from saying ANYTHING while the (un)Holy Trio made their meal first ^*^

[aksharawalia]

Looking through the comments, Karan racked up a following quick lol. If you bring him and James back in the same episode, you'll probably break the internet.

[kalitanikella]

What a laid back and kind expert! I liked him :)

[walksthroughlife]

Wow, Karan broke it down so well. I am Sri Lankan but learnt to cook mostly on my own. The step of "cook till the oil seperates"? That took me several years to understand. In the beginning I used to stop the process too early and later on ended up using too little oil. I am a little envious that this "hard earned" knowledge was dropped in within two sentences, 😆 So very well done.

[arabs]

This man is a professional, I dont just mean his culinary skills. What an amazing presence on camera! Would make for an excellent reoccurring guest / judge

[YGFU]

Karan feels like hes been doing Youtube video for as long as you guys. What a great and genuine Person he is in front of the Cam. This was a pleasure to watch!

[williamsimpson]

Can we get a pass it on where you all go in alphabetical order but you roll a dice to find out how long you cook for. It just keeps repeating up to a certain time limit

[keawarren]

The “Holy hell, what have they done?” look in Karan’s eyes at 5:01 is the only time you can see behind his cool demeanor.

[saiquatabassum]

I eat curry twice a day (being bangali) but I'm really excited to see this version of a curry. Love the representation of South asian culture and food. Would love to see even more of Sri Lanka and other places from South asia shown❤

[PokhrajRoy.]

I love when Karan said that he learnt to make a curry from the channel. SHOTS FIRED!

[raniadawood]

Sorted bringing in experts for the videos are amazing because you pick up so many tips. Great job👏

[arshaddahlan]

As a Sri Lankan that's been watching Sorted for years (still remember the Kotthu roti big night in which I loved!), this was an awesome video to see! Would love to see Karan judge a battle as well, he seems like a really good guy! Big love from Sri Lanka! 💛
