If you've just joined
us on Cook:30 for kids,
00:00:01.43\00:00:03.90
we're having so much
fun here in the kitchen.
00:00:03.93\00:00:06.27
We have Loyola and Braden,
all the way from Tennessee,
00:00:06.30\00:00:09.64
and on the menu today we have...
00:00:09.67\00:00:12.44
Indian lentil and spinach
dal with brown rice and peas.
00:00:12.47\00:00:16.95
And for dessert we have
pineapple and coconut lassi.
00:00:16.98\00:00:22.18
This is gonna be such
an amazingly delicious meal
00:00:22.22\00:00:24.55
all the way from India,
00:00:24.59\00:00:25.92
with lots of Indian
flavors and ingredients.
00:00:25.95\00:00:28.76
So now we're
gonna just do the lassi.
00:00:28.79\00:00:30.53
And lassi is kind of like a,
00:00:30.56\00:00:31.89
think of it as
an Indian smoothie.
00:00:31.93\00:00:34.00
So we're gonna use
some great ingredients here.
00:00:34.03\00:00:36.16
So could you go to the
fridge and get the bananas,
00:00:36.20\00:00:39.03
sorry the freezer.
00:00:39.07\00:00:40.40
Okay.
00:00:40.44\00:00:41.77
So we're gonna start
this with some frozen banana
00:00:41.80\00:00:44.14
and if you ever got
spare bananas left over,
00:00:44.17\00:00:46.34
a really good thing to
do is actually chop them up.
00:00:46.37\00:00:48.58
Oh, the freezer
is the other door.
00:00:48.61\00:00:50.95
At the top there.
00:00:50.98\00:00:52.31
Bananas are really great
frozen for smoothies or lassis.
00:00:52.35\00:00:55.18
They add like a
such a lovely creamy
00:00:55.22\00:00:56.89
sweet kind of flavor to things.
00:00:56.92\00:00:58.39
We got the bananas.
00:00:58.42\00:00:59.85
Well, excellent.
Thank you very much.
00:00:59.89\00:01:02.62
And look at that, so
those bananas are frozen,
00:01:02.66\00:01:05.09
so basically take
the skin off first
00:01:05.13\00:01:06.70
or they're really,
really hard to get into.
00:01:06.73\00:01:08.76
And as you can see
00:01:08.80\00:01:10.13
we got little, we
got a little bit tight,
00:01:10.17\00:01:14.07
so it's three bananas in here.
00:01:14.10\00:01:15.80
And we wanna about
one and half bananas,
00:01:15.84\00:01:18.04
so that's probably about two.
00:01:18.07\00:01:20.18
You gonna put probably
half of those bananas in there.
00:01:20.21\00:01:23.71
Put half of
those bananas in there.
00:01:23.75\00:01:25.08
Oh, okay.
00:01:25.11\00:01:26.45
Which is one and half
bananas, so not all of them.
00:01:26.48\00:01:28.38
And here we have
some pineapple chunks,
00:01:28.42\00:01:30.85
so you could use whole
pineapple if you have it.
00:01:30.89\00:01:33.15
So mango, a lassi
is often mango based,
00:01:33.19\00:01:35.16
we gonna do a pineapple one.
00:01:35.19\00:01:37.06
So this involves
bananas, it's the half way.
00:01:37.09\00:01:39.59
Perfect and if
you want to put this,
00:01:39.63\00:01:42.23
plus pineapple in as well,
00:01:42.26\00:01:43.77
so just got some
pineapple chunks here.
00:01:43.80\00:01:45.97
And what does it
say on the front?
00:01:46.00\00:01:48.50
Pineapple chunks in
100 % pineapple juice.
00:01:48.54\00:01:51.64
Exactly, so you can
get pineapple chunks
00:01:51.67\00:01:53.61
that are in sugary syrup.
00:01:53.64\00:01:55.48
Nah, you don't want those,
00:01:55.51\00:01:56.85
you want to start
with some just juice.
00:01:56.88\00:01:58.21
So if you wanna
pour that in there,
00:01:58.25\00:02:00.58
into the blender.
00:02:00.62\00:02:03.49
Oops. Lovely.
00:02:03.52\00:02:07.09
And we're also gonna use
00:02:07.12\00:02:08.46
a really good Indian ingredient,
00:02:08.49\00:02:10.19
makes things taste lovely
00:02:10.23\00:02:11.83
and that is coconut cream,
00:02:11.86\00:02:13.53
so it's something you can
get from these supermarkets
00:02:13.56\00:02:14.96
in this little baby cans,
00:02:15.00\00:02:16.53
so if you wanna,
see if you can open
00:02:16.56\00:02:17.90
that can of coconut cream.
00:02:17.93\00:02:20.94
Put there. That will be great.
00:02:20.97\00:02:22.57
I see that the
turmeric is made the spoon
00:02:22.60\00:02:25.17
and the cutting board yellow.
00:02:25.21\00:02:26.78
You're right, look at that.
00:02:26.81\00:02:28.34
Turmeric is a
really amazing spice
00:02:28.38\00:02:30.05
and it makes things
really lovely yellow color,
00:02:30.08\00:02:32.28
but you're right, look at that,
00:02:32.31\00:02:33.65
the spoon's all
yellow, the board's all yellow,
00:02:33.68\00:02:35.82
it gets everywhere.
00:02:35.85\00:02:37.65
So you'll be very
careful when using turmeric
00:02:37.69\00:02:39.79
but it has a really
nice flavor, nice color.
00:02:39.82\00:02:41.89
Okay, how is the coconut going?
00:02:41.92\00:02:43.39
Look at that, little
baby can is being opened.
00:02:43.43\00:02:46.66
Brilliant.
00:02:46.70\00:02:48.16
Oops, so flick out the lid,
00:02:48.20\00:02:49.53
we don't want the
lid going in the blender.
00:02:49.56\00:02:53.20
Lovely, so coconut cream
00:02:53.23\00:02:55.00
is a really
lovely ingredient to use.
00:02:55.04\00:02:57.61
Just pop it on
the board if you like.
00:02:57.64\00:03:00.04
Taste good.
00:03:00.08\00:03:01.54
Lovely, don't dip that
finger back in anything,
00:03:01.58\00:03:04.41
so yeah, now pour that in.
00:03:04.45\00:03:06.08
That goes there.
00:03:06.11\00:03:08.15
Yeah, pick it up and pour it in.
00:03:08.18\00:03:09.52
You want me to put these
diced tomatoes into these?
00:03:09.55\00:03:12.92
Yes, we do, gets
there very shortly,
00:03:12.95\00:03:14.69
you're starting
with your tomatoes,
00:03:14.72\00:03:16.06
that's great, great
thinking ahead there, Braden.
00:03:16.09\00:03:18.16
We always think that
what's coming up next.
00:03:18.19\00:03:20.50
So look at that, you
got that lovely pineapple,
00:03:20.53\00:03:24.87
frozen banana and the...
00:03:24.90\00:03:27.70
What else is in
there? Coconut cream.
00:03:27.74\00:03:29.20
So you know that is
going to taste good, don't you?
00:03:29.24\00:03:32.61
Yeah.
00:03:32.64\00:03:33.98
So put it on there if you
can find the lid somewhere.
00:03:34.01\00:03:35.41
Oh, there it is.
00:03:35.44\00:03:36.78
And get the blender started.
00:03:36.81\00:03:38.88
Are you ready?
00:03:38.91\00:03:40.25
Three, two, one, go.
00:03:40.28\00:03:43.62
Oh-oh!
00:03:43.65\00:03:45.65
Here's the blender
going, it's amazing.
00:03:45.69\00:03:49.89
Before you mix it in,
00:03:49.92\00:03:51.26
I thought I'll show
you something first.
00:03:51.29\00:03:53.50
And you press stop,
00:03:53.53\00:03:55.33
more, need a little
bit more, keep going.
00:03:55.36\00:03:57.77
So as you can see over here,
00:03:57.80\00:03:59.77
this dal is
really, really thick.
00:03:59.80\00:04:01.40
I mean, look at that,
look how thick it's got.
00:04:01.44\00:04:03.51
It looked like a soup
before, but it gets really thick
00:04:03.54\00:04:06.31
and it's really, that
looks beautiful and lovely
00:04:06.34\00:04:08.48
and creamy doesn't it?
00:04:08.51\00:04:09.84
Might need a little bit more,
00:04:09.88\00:04:11.21
I think it's
still lumpy dish there.
00:04:11.25\00:04:13.01
So give that a stir,
00:04:13.05\00:04:14.38
so stirring that can of tomatoes
00:04:14.42\00:04:16.82
and then we'll
put some honey in,
00:04:16.85\00:04:19.35
you can use agave or
you can use date puree.
00:04:19.39\00:04:23.36
So we put two
tablespoons of honey like that.
00:04:23.39\00:04:29.06
Brilliant.
00:04:29.10\00:04:31.27
I think it's
nearly ready, let's stop.
00:04:31.30\00:04:35.00
How is it looking?
00:04:35.04\00:04:37.47
Oh, look how creamy and
thick and smooth that is.
00:04:37.51\00:04:40.88
Does that look yummy? Mm-hmm.
00:04:40.91\00:04:42.64
It does, so we're
gonna pour in some glasses.
00:04:42.68\00:04:44.48
I'll see in there.
00:04:44.51\00:04:45.85
So see if you can
pour into the glasses
00:04:45.88\00:04:47.92
without touching the
sides, that's your challenge.
00:04:47.95\00:04:50.92
Oh, boy.
00:04:50.95\00:04:52.79
Give it your big shot,
it's not the end of the world
00:04:52.82\00:04:54.29
if you don't so go
for it, pour it in.
00:04:54.32\00:04:56.73
Now see if you can divide it
evenly between the four glasses
00:04:56.76\00:04:59.49
and we'll finish
these things here.
00:04:59.53\00:05:00.86
Lovely, look at that.
00:05:00.90\00:05:02.23
It's a lovely
thick texture, isn't it?
00:05:02.26\00:05:05.17
Okay, so if you gonna
open one of these cans,
00:05:05.20\00:05:07.94
we gonna put some coconut
cream in the curry as well.
00:05:07.97\00:05:13.11
And we put in some salt
00:05:13.14\00:05:14.48
so we want half
a teaspoon of salt,
00:05:14.51\00:05:15.84
I'll put that in.
00:05:15.88\00:05:17.21
And this will
just give us some salt.
00:05:20.95\00:05:23.08
You don't put salt in
before you cook lentil, salt,
00:05:23.12\00:05:25.75
if you put salt in
before you cook lentils,
00:05:25.79\00:05:27.26
they don't, it's they
find it very hard to cook,
00:05:27.29\00:05:28.92
so you always add salt
after you have cooked lintels.
00:05:28.96\00:05:33.19
Lovely, look at that cream.
00:05:33.23\00:05:35.10
So it gives lovely creaminess,
keep pouring the whole lot,
00:05:35.13\00:05:37.97
it's just a baby little can.
00:05:38.00\00:05:40.04
And give that a
good stir around.
00:05:40.07\00:05:42.34
Oh, look at that, you
didn't touch any sides.
00:05:42.37\00:05:44.41
Oh, there's little one
here, no one saw that today.
00:05:44.44\00:05:47.61
Lovely, very cool,
what's it taste like?
00:05:47.64\00:05:49.78
It's amazing.
00:05:49.81\00:05:51.15
Cool, and that... Bananas.
00:05:51.18\00:05:52.81
Bananas, yeah, bananas
and pineapple and coconut
00:05:52.85\00:05:55.22
and we're gonna garnish it,
we gonna put some of these on,
00:05:55.25\00:05:56.89
so just throw a
couple of berries on as well.
00:05:56.92\00:05:59.25
Can I do three each?
00:05:59.29\00:06:00.62
Three each sounds
like a great number.
00:06:00.66\00:06:02.39
When you're
putting things in on food,
00:06:02.42\00:06:04.89
generally odd
numbers are the best,
00:06:04.93\00:06:07.30
so three, five,
seven, generally best.
00:06:07.33\00:06:09.86
If you can see,
just put another one
00:06:09.90\00:06:11.23
and no one will notice. Okay.
00:06:11.27\00:06:12.60
Cover the other
one, lovely, excellent
00:06:12.63\00:06:14.50
and I'm just gonna put
00:06:14.54\00:06:15.87
some little mint
leaves on to garnish,
00:06:15.90\00:06:17.97
I'll put them in here.
00:06:18.01\00:06:19.91
If you, the color
green is the best thing
00:06:19.94\00:06:22.18
to garnish food to
make it look amazing,
00:06:22.21\00:06:24.68
so I'll just find three
nice lovely little mint leaves.
00:06:24.71\00:06:29.65
If in doubt, use green,
00:06:29.68\00:06:32.52
and these will just look great.
00:06:32.55\00:06:35.26
So this is a very easy
smoothie you can make at home.
00:06:35.29\00:06:37.93
We already put
the salt into the...
00:06:37.96\00:06:40.76
Yes, I did it before, so
thanks for checking with it.
00:06:40.80\00:06:43.23
Doesn't it look
lovely and creamy?
00:06:43.26\00:06:44.60
That's great.
00:06:44.63\00:06:45.97
Tada look at
that, um, brilliant.
00:06:46.00\00:06:49.24
Those look amazing
smoothies, don't they?
00:06:49.27\00:06:50.87
If you wanna, we'll
put some mint leaves on
00:06:50.91\00:06:53.31
and then we can
put those on the table.
00:06:53.34\00:06:56.04
Here we go, two more
mint leaves just like that.
00:06:56.08\00:06:58.45
Smells like
coconut. That's great.
00:06:58.48\00:07:00.42
And if you wanna
carry them really gently
00:07:00.45\00:07:02.25
because you don't
want them to kind of wobble
00:07:02.28\00:07:03.69
and kind of get
marks at the sides,
00:07:03.72\00:07:05.25
if you gonna go and
put them on the table
00:07:05.29\00:07:06.62
that would be wonderful,
00:07:06.65\00:07:07.99
you would probably
take two at a time.
00:07:08.02\00:07:09.49
Excellent, lovely.
00:07:09.52\00:07:11.23
You got to be careful
with the finished product.
00:07:11.26\00:07:12.89
Okay, if you can grab
some spinach from the freezer,
00:07:12.93\00:07:15.53
this looks really, really good.
00:07:15.56\00:07:16.90
But again adding
green to any dish
00:07:16.93\00:07:18.93
makes things look great,
00:07:18.97\00:07:20.80
so we have got a
pack of frozen spinach,
00:07:20.84\00:07:24.11
see if you can open it.
00:07:24.14\00:07:25.47
Is there a open
thing on there somewhere?
00:07:25.51\00:07:28.34
I think we might
have to use a sharp knife.
00:07:28.38\00:07:29.71
Oh, careful.
00:07:29.74\00:07:32.95
Nope.
00:07:32.98\00:07:34.38
I'll give it a go, just give
a little bit of a cut there,
00:07:34.42\00:07:36.28
there you go.
00:07:36.32\00:07:37.65
So put about half of spinach in,
00:07:37.69\00:07:39.42
so we want around about
two cups of spinach in there,
00:07:39.45\00:07:42.36
and this won't
need to be heated much,
00:07:42.39\00:07:43.73
it just needs warm through
so it's not so ice and crusty.
00:07:43.76\00:07:45.29
All right and tidy.
00:07:45.33\00:07:46.66
Excellent, brilliant, beautiful.
00:07:46.70\00:07:48.76
You put spare on the table
00:07:48.80\00:07:50.13
just in case we
want to bring it later,
00:07:50.17\00:07:51.50
we got a spare one,
there's three of us,
00:07:51.53\00:07:52.87
so I'm sure someone
want to be spilling.
00:07:52.90\00:07:54.24
Or can't be spilling.
00:07:54.27\00:07:56.37
Don't just spill it.
00:07:56.40\00:07:57.74
Okay, give it a good stir,
stir it around, stir it in.
00:07:57.77\00:08:01.34
You might put a
little bit more actually in,
00:08:01.38\00:08:03.45
in fact pour that
about two cups in total.
00:08:03.48\00:08:06.78
It's looking great,
00:08:06.82\00:08:08.38
so it's coming along
really, really, really well.
00:08:08.42\00:08:11.15
Now that while
you're stirring that,
00:08:11.19\00:08:12.52
we have also got the
rice, and we use brown rice.
00:08:12.55\00:08:15.02
One thing I forgot
to tell you before,
00:08:15.06\00:08:16.39
we'll just have a look at here
00:08:16.42\00:08:17.93
just check it's okay to pick up,
00:08:17.96\00:08:19.89
there we go,
00:08:19.93\00:08:21.30
so that's rice, we use
some brown rice as well.
00:08:21.33\00:08:25.40
So brown rice and black rice,
00:08:25.43\00:08:26.77
so use a little
bit of a mixture,
00:08:26.80\00:08:28.47
so you can do that which
makes it taste really good.
00:08:28.50\00:08:32.11
Now what we gonna do is
we just gonna spoon this off,
00:08:32.14\00:08:34.14
oh, all the water is gone
00:08:34.18\00:08:36.24
and we just gonna
spoon this into this bowl.
00:08:36.28\00:08:38.48
See the rice is
lovely, pretty isn't it,
00:08:38.51\00:08:40.02
with all the
different colors in there,
00:08:40.05\00:08:41.45
so you can buy mixed rice.
00:08:41.48\00:08:42.95
Well if you just got brown rice
00:08:42.98\00:08:44.32
you can just add two
table spoons of black rice
00:08:44.35\00:08:46.35
or red rice,
00:08:46.39\00:08:47.72
just to mix it up so it's
not just so plainly colored.
00:08:47.76\00:08:50.09
Let's gonna get a
bit of a towel here,
00:08:50.13\00:08:51.83
'cause this pot is hot
00:08:51.86\00:08:53.90
and we just
gonna pour into here,
00:08:53.93\00:08:56.97
this lovely wooden
rustic serving dish,
00:08:57.00\00:08:59.90
we gonna use this,
00:08:59.93\00:09:01.30
probably it's a
bit overcooked here.
00:09:01.34\00:09:04.11
You generally
want to take it off
00:09:04.14\00:09:05.47
when the water runs out,
00:09:05.51\00:09:08.18
get some green peas, lovely.
00:09:08.21\00:09:11.08
And you gonna tip about
half of that packet in there,
00:09:11.11\00:09:13.72
we're gonna mix up
so we might have to.
00:09:13.75\00:09:15.22
Can you open it there
00:09:15.25\00:09:16.58
or I'll give it bit of
a knife, through there.
00:09:16.62\00:09:19.85
Pour it in, pour
half of those in,
00:09:19.89\00:09:21.72
see wanna round about two cups.
00:09:21.76\00:09:24.83
Oh, should I pour in the cups?
00:09:24.86\00:09:26.19
No, I just need you,
so half would be right,
00:09:26.23\00:09:27.56
you can be very approximate
with this kind of dishes,
00:09:27.60\00:09:29.30
when you're doing
things like baking
00:09:29.33\00:09:30.67
it's more
important to be accurate.
00:09:30.70\00:09:32.03
Oop. Oop, perfect.
00:09:32.07\00:09:33.40
And give it a
bit of stir around,
00:09:33.44\00:09:34.77
now those, those peas
will not need cooking at all,
00:09:34.80\00:09:38.51
they just need warm
through, so give it a good stir,
00:09:38.54\00:09:40.81
go in deep, go underneath.
00:09:40.84\00:09:43.08
Lift it all up,
yeah that's great,
00:09:43.11\00:09:44.88
yeah, aggressively
through that's wonderful.
00:09:44.91\00:09:46.98
So those peas
just need warm through
00:09:47.02\00:09:48.35
and that warm rice,
00:09:48.38\00:09:49.72
that hot rice
will be just enough.
00:09:49.75\00:09:51.79
And instead of
serving with just normal rice
00:09:51.82\00:09:53.62
adding the peas just
adds a lovely mushiness,
00:09:53.66\00:09:55.89
a lovely
freshness, a lovely greenness,
00:09:55.92\00:09:57.83
so make it taste just a
little bit more special.
00:09:57.86\00:10:01.03
It also looks a
little bit more special.
00:10:01.06\00:10:02.90
Exactly, and
that's really important,
00:10:02.93\00:10:04.27
so everything looks special,
00:10:04.30\00:10:05.63
just take those
little extra moments
00:10:05.67\00:10:07.00
to make things look special.
00:10:07.04\00:10:08.37
That's great,
give it a stir around.
00:10:08.40\00:10:10.37
Now look at this
dal, how does that look?
00:10:10.41\00:10:11.74
Good.
00:10:11.77\00:10:13.11
So that started out like a
watery looking soupy thing,
00:10:13.14\00:10:15.64
and now it looks like
00:10:15.68\00:10:17.01
a beautiful green
colorful dish to have.
00:10:17.05\00:10:20.02
And to finish it off we
gonna just use some cilantro.
00:10:20.05\00:10:23.28
Cilantro is a great,
got great herb to use
00:10:23.32\00:10:27.82
and we just gonna chop this up
00:10:27.86\00:10:29.19
and just
sprinkle it over the top.
00:10:29.22\00:10:30.56
Or would I put it on here?
00:10:30.59\00:10:31.93
Yeah, we just put a
little, a little lump here
00:10:31.96\00:10:33.29
that can go just on
the table just like that,
00:10:33.33\00:10:34.86
it's ready to go.
00:10:34.90\00:10:36.23
So throw it on the table.
00:10:36.26\00:10:37.93
Brilliant.
00:10:37.97\00:10:39.30
And we just gonna
chop up some of this.
00:10:39.33\00:10:42.00
Does that go in the dal?
00:10:42.04\00:10:43.37
And it just goes in there
as a garnish in that dish.
00:10:43.41\00:10:46.54
You don't want me to mix it up?
00:10:46.57\00:10:47.94
No, just leave it
on top as a garnish
00:10:47.98\00:10:49.31
and that is really
served just like that,
00:10:49.34\00:10:51.41
and an Indian
meal is now finished.
00:10:51.45\00:10:53.92
Well done, guys.
00:10:53.95\00:10:55.28
