Seamus Stackpoole takes a bite of dabeli and recognises something reassuring: "This must be the most Irish thing ever, cos it's a potato burger."

The potato-filled bun is part of The TRY Channel's "Irish People Try North-Indian Street Food", which has drawn about 43,000 views in its first 12 hours. This time, the tasting table offers vegetable curry, chutneys, yoghurt and plenty of opportunities to compare an unfamiliar dish with a familiar sandwich.

Pav bhaji starts that process. Its spicy vegetables and soft, buttered bread prompt Seamus to describe it as curry in a sandwich. Nicole O'Connor, meanwhile, detects ghee before the off-camera host confirms its inclusion. "See, I'm never wrong. My ghee senses were tingling there," she says.

Samosa chaat changes the arrangement: potato-and-pea samosa comes with chickpea curry, cooling yoghurt, chutneys and crunchy toppings. Paddy Murphy's interpretation is simpler: "Deconstructed, so it's fancy samosa."

After the dabeli comes dahi puri, greeted with particular anticipation by Grainne Blumenthal and Nicole. The filled shells deliver a combination of sweet, tangy and crunchy textures that Darren Lalor calls "A little pocket of surprise."

The comments add a useful distinction for anyone planning their own tasting: viewers point out that these yoghurt-filled dahi puri are different from pani puri, the version filled with flavoured water. Elsewhere, Darren and Grainne's pairing and the cast's butter-related wordplay give viewers almost as much to discuss as the food.
