00:01:14.17\00:01:15.54
and I am so excited
to be with you today
00:01:15.57\00:01:17.31
because I am getting ready to do
00:01:17.34\00:01:19.31
what I do best
00:01:19.34\00:01:20.68
and that is eat delicious meals.
00:01:20.71\00:01:22.74
And I don't
even have to cook it.
00:01:22.78\00:01:24.65
Our guest today is someone
who is no stranger to 3ABN.
00:01:24.68\00:01:28.22
Her name is Padmaja Medidi.
00:01:28.25\00:01:31.35
But I'll call you
Padma for short, correct?
00:01:31.39\00:01:33.72
Yes.
00:01:33.76\00:01:35.09
Namaste.
Namaste. Namaste. Namaste.
00:01:35.12\00:01:38.23
And what does that mean?
That's greetings in Indian.
00:01:38.26\00:01:41.66
Okay, nice.
00:01:41.70\00:01:43.03
Tell us a little bit
about your background?
00:01:43.06\00:01:44.83
Well, I am a registered
nurse, happily married.
00:01:44.87\00:01:48.17
My husband is a physician,
he is the Medical Director
00:01:48.20\00:01:50.51
of Suncoast Community
Health Centers in Tampa.
00:01:50.54\00:01:53.88
We have two children.
00:01:53.91\00:01:55.84
Both are physicians,
00:01:55.88\00:01:57.21
they are married and
they are out of the house.
00:01:57.25\00:02:00.15
So we do travel a lot
and do a lot of mission work,
00:02:00.18\00:02:03.69
at least two
00:02:03.72\00:02:05.05
to three mission
trips every year.
00:02:05.09\00:02:06.69
Wow, two to three a year.
00:02:06.72\00:02:08.06
Where are some of the
places that you have been?
00:02:08.09\00:02:09.42
We've been to Jamaica,
Trinidad, Guyana, India.
00:02:09.46\00:02:13.90
So we do travel
quite a bit every year.
00:02:13.93\00:02:16.20
Wow!
00:02:16.23\00:02:17.57
Yeah, so we have fun
doing that but first of all,
00:02:17.60\00:02:20.10
I really want to thank 3ABN
for giving me this opportunity
00:02:20.14\00:02:25.27
to show these tasty,
nutritious vegan recipes.
00:02:25.31\00:02:30.61
Well, praise the Lord.
We're happy to have you.
00:02:30.65\00:02:32.85
Yes, you have to use just
a little bit of Indian spices
00:02:32.88\00:02:36.15
and that will just enhance
00:02:36.18\00:02:37.52
the taste of any food
and curry that you're making.
00:02:37.55\00:02:40.96
Can I tell you something? Yeah.
00:02:40.99\00:02:42.32
I love Indian food. Wow.
00:02:42.36\00:02:45.26
Indian food is...
00:02:45.29\00:02:46.63
It's one of my
favorites like my...
00:02:46.66\00:02:48.46
It's in my top.
00:02:48.50\00:02:49.83
Well, you're in for
a special treat today.
00:02:49.86\00:02:51.20
Nice.
00:02:51.23\00:02:52.57
What are we
going be making today?
00:02:52.60\00:02:53.94
Okay, today the
first dish is Spinach Rice.
00:02:53.97\00:02:57.51
Let's take a look
at those ingredients.
00:02:57.54\00:02:59.27
Yes.
00:02:59.31\00:03:03.14
Okay, first we need...
00:03:03.18\00:03:04.98
That sounds like it's going
to be a really good recipe.
00:03:35.54\00:03:38.11
Yes.
00:03:38.15\00:03:39.48
Now first we have to blend...
00:03:39.51\00:03:44.45
the spinach. Okay.
00:03:44.49\00:03:45.82
Fresh spinach, as you can see
I'm using only fresh over here,
00:03:45.85\00:03:49.79
fresh spinach.
00:03:49.82\00:03:51.16
And now you blend
00:03:51.19\00:03:52.53
that with a little bit
00:03:52.56\00:03:54.46
of the water along with garlic.
00:03:54.50\00:03:57.73
Now this isn't
00:03:57.77\00:03:59.10
the minced
garlic out of a bottle,
00:03:59.13\00:04:00.94
this is like...
00:04:00.97\00:04:02.30
Yeah, fresh garlic.
Garlic, clove, okay.
00:04:02.34\00:04:03.67
Yes. And then some cumin.
00:04:03.71\00:04:05.47
And this is the
green chilies. Okay.
00:04:05.51\00:04:07.71
You just put a little
water and blend it all together.
00:04:07.74\00:04:11.11
I have already blended
that and this is the mixture.
00:04:11.15\00:04:15.58
Oh, nice.
00:04:15.62\00:04:16.95
So this is the consistency
00:04:16.99\00:04:18.32
that it should take
on after you blend it.
00:04:18.35\00:04:20.49
Okay. This looks
amazing, that color.
00:04:20.52\00:04:22.86
Yes.
00:04:22.89\00:04:24.23
And I'm telling you spinach rice
00:04:24.26\00:04:25.59
is such a wonderful
dish, we're going to...
00:04:25.63\00:04:29.50
I'm telling you're
going to love this.
00:04:29.53\00:04:31.13
And now I'm going
to put oil... Okay.
00:04:31.17\00:04:33.84
In the pan, we're just
going to let the oil warm up
00:04:33.87\00:04:36.87
a little bit.
00:04:36.91\00:04:38.24
And the first thing
that I do put in the oil...
00:04:38.27\00:04:40.88
Everybody should know
if they watch my shows
00:04:40.91\00:04:42.81
before is mustard seeds.
00:04:42.84\00:04:44.91
Really, mustard seeds
in the oil and why is that?
00:04:44.95\00:04:46.28
Mustard seed...
00:04:46.31\00:04:47.65
Did you see the
mustard seeds, this is mustard.
00:04:47.68\00:04:49.98
Wow! Yes.
00:04:50.02\00:04:51.42
Now, if we have faith like
a mustard seed and that's...
00:04:51.45\00:04:55.52
That's exactly what
they are talking about
00:04:55.56\00:04:56.89
is this mustard seed.
00:04:56.93\00:04:58.26
That is tiny. Yes.
00:04:58.29\00:05:00.70
So, now we're going
to use the mustard seed.
00:05:00.73\00:05:03.73
First I will pour...
00:05:03.77\00:05:05.10
You just have to make
sure the oil is really hot
00:05:05.13\00:05:08.37
because they
will start sputtering.
00:05:08.40\00:05:11.97
Okay, now after
the mustard seeds,
00:05:12.01\00:05:16.01
the cumin seeds.
00:05:16.04\00:05:17.38
Okay.
00:05:17.41\00:05:19.21
And the urad dhal.
00:05:19.25\00:05:23.05
Urad dhal, I never
heard of that before.
00:05:23.08\00:05:25.39
This is split peas,
00:05:25.42\00:05:26.76
but it's a
different kind of peas,
00:05:26.79\00:05:28.16
we have several
different kind of peas in India.
00:05:28.19\00:05:31.69
Okay, now I'll
pour the urad dhal.
00:05:31.73\00:05:35.46
We just have to make sure...
00:05:35.50\00:05:37.87
That's light brown.
00:05:37.90\00:05:40.17
And then I'm going
to add my curry leaves.
00:05:40.20\00:05:44.01
Okay.
00:05:44.04\00:05:46.94
That will get the
most flavors going.
00:05:46.98\00:05:48.98
Yes.
00:05:49.01\00:05:50.38
Now, I'm going to
add the curry leaves.
00:05:50.41\00:05:51.95
Wow!
00:05:51.98\00:05:53.31
See I haven't seen
curry leaves before either.
00:05:53.35\00:05:55.88
See, do you see them sputtering?
00:05:55.92\00:05:57.25
Yes, yes. Now we know it's hot.
00:05:57.29\00:05:59.59
Should I be nervous? No.
00:05:59.62\00:06:01.99
And now, I'm going to
pour the mixture here,
00:06:02.02\00:06:04.36
the spinach mixture.
00:06:04.39\00:06:05.73
Okay.
00:06:05.76\00:06:07.10
Oh, wow.
00:06:13.07\00:06:15.27
Now, we're going
to let this cook.
00:06:15.30\00:06:18.01
Okay.
00:06:18.04\00:06:19.94
I'm going to reduce
the heat a little bit.
00:06:19.97\00:06:21.74
Wow, that's
really going, smells.
00:06:25.91\00:06:30.89
Yes.
00:06:30.92\00:06:32.25
Remember now, we
have garlic in here,
00:06:32.29\00:06:35.12
green chilies
in here, and cumin.
00:06:35.16\00:06:37.96
So that's the smell
that you're getting.
00:06:37.99\00:06:41.56
I love garlic too
but, you know, I am...
00:06:41.60\00:06:44.63
Hopefully I
don't talk to anybody
00:06:44.67\00:06:46.13
after I eat this.
00:06:46.17\00:06:48.77
Now, as you can see
for this particular dish,
00:06:48.80\00:06:54.21
I'm using basmati rice.
00:06:54.24\00:06:57.01
Okay, I have
already cooked basmati rice.
00:06:57.05\00:07:00.28
We have to have
it already cooked
00:07:00.32\00:07:01.68
and ready for this recipe.
00:07:01.72\00:07:03.82
So I already have
my basmati rice ready.
00:07:03.85\00:07:06.55
Now this, as this is cooking,
00:07:06.59\00:07:08.56
you know, I
just want to tell you
00:07:08.59\00:07:09.92
a little bit about the spinach.
00:07:09.96\00:07:11.76
Okay, some of the
nutritional properties?
00:07:11.79\00:07:13.66
Yes. Okay.
00:07:13.70\00:07:15.03
Now, it has so many
minerals and vitamins,
00:07:15.06\00:07:18.77
just loaded with vitamins
for every part of your body.
00:07:18.80\00:07:24.54
So now when you
cook the spinach,
00:07:24.57\00:07:27.28
actually it's more benefits
00:07:27.31\00:07:29.61
than they say it has three times
00:07:29.64\00:07:32.05
just half a cup
of cooked spinach
00:07:32.08\00:07:35.08
has three times
more nutritional value
00:07:35.12\00:07:38.89
than one cup of raw spinach.
00:07:38.92\00:07:42.59
Unless, you put it in
a smoothie or blend it,
00:07:42.62\00:07:46.29
then the benefits are there,
00:07:46.33\00:07:48.16
you know, much more
than just raw spinach itself.
00:07:48.20\00:07:52.07
Wow! Did you know that?
00:07:52.10\00:07:53.44
No, I didn't.
00:07:53.47\00:07:54.80
I thought it was
the other way around,
00:07:54.84\00:07:56.17
like I thought that
if you had raw spinach,
00:07:56.20\00:07:58.81
it was more benefits than
if you cooked the spinach.
00:07:58.84\00:08:01.21
So that's
something new for me. Yes.
00:08:01.24\00:08:03.14
I'll take that for you.
00:08:03.18\00:08:04.61
Just a little bit,
now can you see this?
00:08:04.65\00:08:07.25
Yes.
00:08:07.28\00:08:08.62
What we have to do is really
when you're cooking the spinach
00:08:08.65\00:08:12.32
that's already blended,
00:08:12.35\00:08:14.26
you have to make sure
that raw smell is gone.
00:08:14.29\00:08:18.36
So you need to cook
this for about five minutes.
00:08:18.39\00:08:21.30
Okay, for about five minutes.
Yes, about five minutes.
00:08:21.33\00:08:24.93
So you just need
to keep stirring it,
00:08:24.97\00:08:27.40
make sure it doesn't get burnt.
00:08:27.44\00:08:29.54
But you need to get
the raw smell, well cooked,
00:08:29.57\00:08:33.17
and you can put
it on low medium heat
00:08:33.21\00:08:35.88
and let it cook.
00:08:35.91\00:08:37.25
If you put the lid and cook it,
it just cooks a little faster.
00:08:37.28\00:08:41.32
You know, the
spinach itself cooks
00:08:41.35\00:08:44.12
a little faster.
00:08:44.15\00:08:45.49
You know what I
mean. But now we'll just...
00:08:45.52\00:08:47.42
Can you see the little bit
of oil coming up on the top
00:08:47.46\00:08:51.43
because that's
telling that it's cooked.
00:08:51.46\00:08:54.66
You know, when you see
00:08:54.70\00:08:56.03
the oil slowly
coming up to the top,
00:08:56.06\00:08:58.47
then you know it's cooked.
00:08:58.50\00:08:59.83
Then it's cooked, okay.
00:08:59.87\00:09:01.20
And then, now we
add rice to this dish.
00:09:01.24\00:09:05.97
Okay? So now we put the rice in?
00:09:06.01\00:09:07.84
I'm going to put...
00:09:07.88\00:09:11.25
Okay, if you can help and
keep stirring that for me.
00:09:11.28\00:09:14.58
Sure.
00:09:14.62\00:09:16.18
Okay.
00:09:19.59\00:09:20.92
Now let me... I'm
going to hold it this way.
00:09:20.96\00:09:22.72
You're going to hold
it this way, all right.
00:09:22.76\00:09:24.09
Yeah, let me do that.
You got it? All right.
00:09:24.13\00:09:27.93
We're going to add the rice.
00:09:27.96\00:09:31.03
Nice, I love
basmati rice, too. Yes.
00:09:31.07\00:09:33.30
Very flavorful. Very flavorful.
00:09:33.34\00:09:37.94
Okay, now if you can
keep mixing the rice for me.
00:09:37.97\00:09:41.88
And...
00:09:48.78\00:09:50.59
And then...
00:09:50.62\00:09:51.95
And now I'm going
to reduce the heat...
00:09:51.99\00:09:53.99
Okay.
00:09:54.02\00:09:57.13
Really low
00:09:57.16\00:09:58.73
and you just
keep mixing the rice
00:09:58.76\00:10:00.46
till all the spinach
and the rice mix together.
00:10:00.50\00:10:04.93
We need to add
some salt to this.
00:10:04.97\00:10:07.80
A little salt for
taste, okay. Absolutely.
00:10:07.84\00:10:12.84
Nice. And then
as it keeps mixing,
00:10:12.87\00:10:17.58
I'm going to
add some lime juice.
00:10:17.61\00:10:20.45
I'm telling you,
00:10:20.48\00:10:21.82
this is the best
recipe for fussy kids
00:10:21.85\00:10:25.39
that don't like spinach.
00:10:25.42\00:10:26.76
Tell me some kids
that love spinach, do they?
00:10:26.79\00:10:29.22
No, not that I know of.
00:10:29.26\00:10:30.73
I know I didn't love
spinach when I was a kid.
00:10:30.76\00:10:32.33
You just give them spinach
00:10:32.36\00:10:34.00
and tell them to eat
it, will they eat it?
00:10:34.03\00:10:35.46
No. So guess what?
00:10:35.50\00:10:37.37
For some kids that
don't like to eat spinach,
00:10:37.40\00:10:40.37
this is the best way to go.
00:10:40.40\00:10:42.50
They don't even
know spinach is in there.
00:10:42.54\00:10:44.21
You know, I cooked
00:10:44.24\00:10:45.57
the other day
for my brother's kids
00:10:45.61\00:10:48.14
and they looked at this like,
00:10:48.18\00:10:49.51
"No, no, no, I
don't want to eat."
00:10:49.54\00:10:50.88
And I said just taste
a little and guess what?
00:10:50.91\00:10:52.81
"Can I have more?
Can I have some more?
00:10:52.85\00:10:54.78
Can I have some more?"
00:10:54.82\00:10:56.15
And they just
ate the whole plate.
00:10:56.18\00:10:58.99
I believe it,
sometimes when kids see green,
00:10:59.02\00:11:01.36
it's like they
want to run from it.
00:11:01.39\00:11:03.93
I was that way.
00:11:03.96\00:11:05.29
But I'm telling you
the taste is amazing,
00:11:05.33\00:11:07.63
just a little bit of lime
and these Indian spices just,
00:11:07.66\00:11:12.57
it just takes it
to another level.
00:11:12.60\00:11:14.14
Yeah, the smell is
amazing. It's really.
00:11:14.17\00:11:16.00
Yes, but here I am
adding a little bit of the lime.
00:11:16.04\00:11:20.68
You just need to be
careful, and add lime,
00:11:20.71\00:11:23.41
and salt
according to your taste.
00:11:23.45\00:11:25.61
If you don't want it that salty,
00:11:25.65\00:11:29.32
you know, you don't
have to eat it but...
00:11:29.35\00:11:33.52
Wow!
00:11:33.56\00:11:35.99
It looks good
00:11:36.02\00:11:37.36
and it takes on
such a nice color.
00:11:37.39\00:11:39.29
Yes.
00:11:39.33\00:11:41.43
But you have to make sure
00:11:41.46\00:11:43.00
that the spinach
00:11:43.03\00:11:44.83
is really well, well cooked.
00:11:44.87\00:11:50.04
You don't want that raw...
00:11:50.07\00:11:51.84
You don't want
that raw smell. Okay.
00:11:51.87\00:11:54.18
And then you just
kind of mix it very well
00:11:54.21\00:11:56.51
with the rice and there
you go, we have spinach rice.
00:11:56.54\00:12:00.95
Was that that difficult?
No, that wasn't that difficult.
00:12:00.98\00:12:03.85
This is going to be
even less difficult to eat.
00:12:03.89\00:12:07.06
I'm ready to eat that. Yes.
00:12:07.09\00:12:08.89
It looks amazing. See that?
00:12:08.92\00:12:10.43
Yes.
00:12:10.46\00:12:11.79
All done, we
have our spinach rice,
00:12:11.83\00:12:13.66
it's just a little
prep work of blending it.
00:12:13.70\00:12:16.63
But it cooks very fast,
00:12:16.67\00:12:18.00
spinach doesn't
take very long to cook.
00:12:18.03\00:12:19.47
Yes, yes.
00:12:19.50\00:12:20.84
And it's very
high nutritional value,
00:12:20.87\00:12:23.00
has so many minerals it
has in it, it has potassium,
00:12:23.04\00:12:25.77
it has iron,
00:12:25.81\00:12:27.14
it has magnesium, it has folate.
00:12:27.18\00:12:28.74
So there is so many
vitamins also in spinach
00:12:28.78\00:12:32.75
and I would recommend
people to use spinach fresh.
00:12:32.78\00:12:36.35
Okay, fresh.
00:12:36.38\00:12:37.72
And they said
actually if you do freeze it...
00:12:37.75\00:12:41.22
Actually the nutrients diminish,
00:12:41.26\00:12:43.12
you know, they are not as,
00:12:43.16\00:12:44.76
you know, much
nutrition as fresh spinach.
00:12:44.79\00:12:48.23
So I love to use
fresh everything.
00:12:48.26\00:12:50.57
So here we go, you
want to taste a little bit?
00:12:50.60\00:12:53.84
Absolutely, I wish
I would have grabbed
00:12:53.87\00:12:55.70
the smaller spoon
but you know what...
00:12:55.74\00:12:58.54
Here. I'll have to...
00:12:58.57\00:13:01.01
Well, I would go with the big...
00:13:01.04\00:13:02.38
I'll probably get
the big one in here.
00:13:02.41\00:13:03.75
No, here. Let's see here.
00:13:03.78\00:13:08.28
Big one.
00:13:08.32\00:13:09.95
Can you see all the
lime and the salt...
00:13:14.82\00:13:17.73
The flavors really come
out. Yes, flavor is rich.
00:13:17.76\00:13:20.53
What are we going
to be making next?
00:13:20.56\00:13:22.66
Oh, the next that goes
00:13:22.70\00:13:24.23
with this is the
red kidney bean curry.
00:13:24.27\00:13:29.34
We have...
00:13:29.37\00:13:30.91
So how do we start this off?
00:14:06.57\00:14:08.84
Okay, first we put oil,
00:14:08.88\00:14:12.05
just going to
put some olive oil.
00:14:12.08\00:14:14.08
Okay.
00:14:14.12\00:14:16.18
And let that heat
up just a little bit
00:14:16.22\00:14:19.95
but we'll pretend that's hot...
00:14:19.99\00:14:21.52
Okay.
00:14:21.56\00:14:22.99
Since we're pressed for
time. And these are cumin seeds.
00:14:23.02\00:14:26.43
Okay, first we'll
put the cumin seeds
00:14:26.46\00:14:30.00
as they are sautéing.
00:14:30.03\00:14:31.73
If you can keep
stirring for me...
00:14:31.77\00:14:33.30
Sure.
00:14:33.34\00:14:34.84
And then, some bay leaves. Okay.
00:14:34.87\00:14:40.01
Now, do you see
that nicely simmering?
00:14:40.04\00:14:41.91
Yes.
00:14:41.94\00:14:43.28
Yes, and kind of mix
00:14:43.31\00:14:44.65
the bay leaves a
little bit in the oil.
00:14:44.68\00:14:47.65
Now after that,
00:14:47.68\00:14:49.45
I will just put
the onions, the onions.
00:14:49.48\00:14:52.89
Okay. I love
onions too by the way.
00:14:52.92\00:14:56.59
Onions and garlic
just really add to...
00:14:56.62\00:14:59.79
I mean add that flavor. Yes.
00:14:59.83\00:15:01.66
Okay.
00:15:06.74\00:15:08.07
Now, we keep
stirring, just make sure
00:15:08.10\00:15:12.07
the onions are
light brown in color...
00:15:12.11\00:15:14.54
Okay. As you sauté them.
00:15:14.58\00:15:16.85
And we're not going to wait
00:15:16.88\00:15:18.21
till they turn
light brown in color.
00:15:18.25\00:15:20.42
But the next step to this
00:15:20.45\00:15:22.28
is we add some
ginger garlic paste.
00:15:22.32\00:15:24.75
Oh, wow. Okay?
00:15:24.79\00:15:26.12
Okay. Ginger garlic paste.
00:15:26.15\00:15:28.79
Yes, it's...
00:15:28.82\00:15:30.16
You just blend equal
amounts of ginger and garlic
00:15:30.19\00:15:32.83
with just a little bit
of water in the blender.
00:15:32.86\00:15:35.10
Okay. Okay?
00:15:35.13\00:15:36.50
And now you sauté
the ginger garlic,
00:15:36.53\00:15:38.70
you just need to
get that raw smell out,
00:15:38.73\00:15:40.34
just for a minute or
so you keep stirring it.
00:15:40.37\00:15:43.34
Okay?
00:15:43.37\00:15:44.87
And then let me just
put it down a little bit.
00:15:44.91\00:15:49.08
It smells
amazing, I'm getting. Yeah.
00:15:52.78\00:15:55.45
And now I'm going to
add the tomato paste,
00:15:55.48\00:15:58.32
I like to puree
my own fresh tomato.
00:15:58.35\00:16:01.29
It almost looks we're going
into like a chilly type of...
00:16:01.32\00:16:04.73
Yes, this is a
chilly dish but guess what,
00:16:04.76\00:16:07.66
without any meat in
it and it tastes amazing
00:16:07.70\00:16:11.37
because of all the flavors.
00:16:11.40\00:16:13.60
Now, I added the tomato paste.
00:16:13.64\00:16:19.01
Okay? See that?
00:16:19.04\00:16:20.94
I'll just put a little
bit more tomato paste...
00:16:20.98\00:16:23.28
For the amount of chili
00:16:27.22\00:16:28.55
but we will let
that cook actually
00:16:28.58\00:16:31.55
for 2-3 minutes
you will let that cook.
00:16:31.59\00:16:34.02
I like to cook
it with the lid on.
00:16:34.06\00:16:37.96
You know, that will help
so that it will cook faster,
00:16:37.99\00:16:41.30
tomato will cook
just a little faster.
00:16:41.33\00:16:43.06
You don't want
that raw smell. Okay.
00:16:43.10\00:16:45.37
You know, so that's what you do.
00:16:45.40\00:16:47.10
And we'll just
pretend now that's done.
00:16:47.14\00:16:49.40
Okay. Okay?
00:16:49.44\00:16:50.77
We're moving right along.
00:16:50.81\00:16:52.14
Yes, because we
don't have that much time.
00:16:52.17\00:16:54.38
Yes, yes. And this
is the curry powder.
00:16:54.41\00:16:58.18
Of course I'm
using the curry powder
00:16:58.21\00:16:59.98
from where I got
it, it's from India.
00:17:00.02\00:17:02.65
And it has
excellent flavors in it.
00:17:02.68\00:17:05.42
Can I smell it? Yes.
00:17:05.45\00:17:07.72
Be careful though.
Oh, yeah, that's good.
00:17:07.76\00:17:09.79
Very powerful.
00:17:09.82\00:17:11.33
It has cayenne pepper,
00:17:11.36\00:17:13.80
coriander powder, cumin powder,
00:17:13.83\00:17:16.53
these are all high
nutritional values,
00:17:16.56\00:17:18.87
really great health
benefits also in these seeds,
00:17:18.90\00:17:22.17
the fenugreek
seeds and turmeric.
00:17:22.20\00:17:25.07
Nice. And here is the turmeric.
00:17:25.11\00:17:27.91
I'm going to
add some turmeric...
00:17:27.94\00:17:29.61
To that.
00:17:32.71\00:17:34.05
Okay, I know that has
great health benefits as well.
00:17:34.08\00:17:36.79
Yes, it surely does.
00:17:36.82\00:17:38.99
Now see, we just have to
let that cook a little bit,
00:17:39.02\00:17:42.86
I'm going to
increase the heat...
00:17:42.89\00:17:44.23
Nice color. It's colorful.
00:17:44.26\00:17:47.36
A little bit.
00:17:47.40\00:17:48.73
Now the tomato
is not going to be
00:17:51.90\00:17:53.84
that gravy like, we
need to let it cook down.
00:17:53.87\00:17:57.61
Okay. Do you understand?
00:17:57.64\00:17:58.97
We're just not
going to do that now
00:17:59.01\00:18:01.21
but I'm just letting you know
that we need to cook that down.
00:18:01.24\00:18:03.68
It's going to take
two to three minutes
00:18:03.71\00:18:06.11
or even five
minutes depending on,
00:18:06.15\00:18:07.68
you know, how high you have it.
00:18:07.72\00:18:09.65
So after the tomato is done,
00:18:09.68\00:18:12.39
now we'll pretend that
it's nice, now this is...
00:18:12.42\00:18:16.12
I already cooked
the red kidney beans.
00:18:16.16\00:18:19.83
Okay, this is
cooked kidney beans,
00:18:19.86\00:18:21.56
I soaked it overnight.
00:18:21.60\00:18:23.47
This is fresh,
it's not from the can.
00:18:23.50\00:18:26.00
Okay, so... Fresh is best.
00:18:26.03\00:18:27.37
Fresh is best. So I
soaked it overnight...
00:18:27.40\00:18:30.31
Hold it please,
hold it, hold it.
00:18:30.34\00:18:31.74
Look at that team work. Yes.
00:18:35.94\00:18:40.48
Thank you. You're welcome.
00:18:40.52\00:18:42.58
And now, when I was
cooking the red kidney beans,
00:18:42.62\00:18:48.22
you know, the
water that comes out?
00:18:48.26\00:18:50.69
I actually kept
that water, this...
00:18:50.73\00:18:53.26
Really? Yes.
00:18:53.29\00:18:54.63
Look at that. Wow!
00:18:54.66\00:18:56.06
So now you use
that water in here.
00:18:56.10\00:18:58.37
Does that add just extra
flavor to it or something?
00:18:58.40\00:19:00.24
Yes, it surely does. Okay.
00:19:00.27\00:19:02.67
So now I'm going to
just add all that in here.
00:19:02.70\00:19:05.87
All right.
00:19:09.14\00:19:12.35
We're going to let that cook.
00:19:12.38\00:19:16.42
And I'm going to
add a little salt.
00:19:16.45\00:19:18.59
Okay.
00:19:18.62\00:19:19.95
Oh, that's going to be amazing.
I can't wait to taste that.
00:19:24.03\00:19:26.80
Now this is
truly a fiber all star.
00:19:26.83\00:19:32.73
You know how
much protein there is?
00:19:32.77\00:19:34.87
How much?
00:19:34.90\00:19:37.11
Just one cup has
15 grams of protein.
00:19:37.14\00:19:41.64
Fifteen grams?
Fifteen grams of protein.
00:19:41.68\00:19:45.28
Very high in protein. Wow!
00:19:45.31\00:19:47.45
This is one of the
best foods for diabetics.
00:19:47.48\00:19:51.85
Oh, really? Yes.
00:19:51.89\00:19:53.22
Oh, 'cause... I got you.
00:19:53.25\00:19:54.59
You know, when
they just eat this,
00:19:54.62\00:19:57.06
you don't need
any meat or anything.
00:19:57.09\00:19:59.83
This is high in
fiber, high in protein.
00:19:59.86\00:20:02.93
It just provides so
many nutrients and vitamins
00:20:02.96\00:20:07.04
in just one cup of...
00:20:07.07\00:20:08.67
Let's see what's happening here.
00:20:08.70\00:20:10.24
All right.
00:20:10.27\00:20:12.81
Okay. Yeah.
00:20:12.84\00:20:14.28
So you...
00:20:14.31\00:20:15.64
There is so many great
things if we change our diets,
00:20:15.68\00:20:19.01
if we eat a certain
way, if we eat healthier...
00:20:19.05\00:20:20.72
And eat a little healthy, yes.
00:20:20.75\00:20:22.25
We can...
00:20:22.28\00:20:23.62
It prevents also the blood sugar
00:20:23.65\00:20:25.19
from rising too rapidly.
00:20:25.22\00:20:27.16
Okay.
00:20:27.19\00:20:28.52
So this is a great
meal for diabetics.
00:20:28.56\00:20:32.19
You know, it still
stabilizes your sugars,
00:20:32.23\00:20:34.96
and keeps you,
and while, you know,
00:20:35.00\00:20:37.37
it gives you the energy,
00:20:37.40\00:20:39.50
and really, really
great for the diabetics.
00:20:39.53\00:20:41.57
Nice.
00:20:41.60\00:20:42.94
So we'll just
pretend that this is cooking
00:20:42.97\00:20:45.37
just for three to four
minutes you cook the beans...
00:20:45.41\00:20:47.74
Okay. With that water in it.
00:20:47.78\00:20:50.11
And then you add the
coconut... Coconut milk?
00:20:50.15\00:20:53.25
Yes, look at that
coconut milk. Yes, yes, yes.
00:20:53.28\00:20:57.39
Okay, now we can see
that simmering but we...
00:20:57.42\00:21:00.89
If they can look at
the directions that I gave
00:21:00.92\00:21:04.13
and follow the
directions, it will be perfect.
00:21:04.16\00:21:06.19
Okay, yes, those directions
00:21:06.23\00:21:07.96
will be posted
online on the 3ABN website,
00:21:08.00\00:21:11.23
www.3ABN.tv.
00:21:11.27\00:21:15.40
And they will
be able to go there
00:21:15.44\00:21:17.04
and check those directions.
00:21:17.07\00:21:18.61
Yes. You can put all
the coconut milk in it.
00:21:18.64\00:21:24.01
Make sure there is enough salt,
00:21:24.05\00:21:25.65
I'm going to put just
a little bit more salt.
00:21:25.68\00:21:28.08
Okay.
00:21:28.12\00:21:31.35
And now...
00:21:31.39\00:21:34.92
you'll really need
to cook this down a lot.
00:21:34.96\00:21:37.89
Like it will... Okay.
00:21:37.93\00:21:39.26
On just simmer it, on slow fire.
00:21:39.29\00:21:42.10
Okay, when they cook the beans,
00:21:42.13\00:21:45.03
they have to be really
soft, they cannot be hard.
00:21:45.07\00:21:48.34
So that will make the
dish very, very tasty.
00:21:48.37\00:21:53.01
Can you see the massive flavors
that went into this dish?
00:21:53.04\00:21:56.61
I can see it, I can smell it.
00:21:56.64\00:21:59.15
Now I want to taste it.
00:21:59.18\00:22:00.52
What do we have? What do we...
00:22:00.55\00:22:01.88
Here, this is the
last one is the cilantro.
00:22:01.92\00:22:03.39
I'm getting eager.
00:22:03.42\00:22:04.85
This is the cilantro. Okay.
00:22:04.89\00:22:06.22
That's the last
thing we usually add,
00:22:06.25\00:22:08.16
it's the cilantro.
00:22:08.19\00:22:09.79
Okay?
00:22:09.82\00:22:11.16
You put it in
there and let it simmer
00:22:11.19\00:22:12.99
and let it cook.
00:22:13.03\00:22:14.50
That's all but so many flavors
that went into this dish,
00:22:14.53\00:22:18.93
the curry powder,
the ginger garlic paste,
00:22:18.97\00:22:21.57
the cumin, the bay
leaves, and the onions.
00:22:21.60\00:22:25.17
Just all that rich
massive flavors together,
00:22:25.21\00:22:29.68
just taste out of this world.
00:22:29.71\00:22:31.15
Oh, guess what?
00:22:31.18\00:22:32.51
I'm hiding a
little flavor down here
00:22:32.55\00:22:34.92
that I'm going to
grab here, it's some...
00:22:34.95\00:22:37.55
That's the one
that's already done.
00:22:37.59\00:22:39.25
That's right.
00:22:39.29\00:22:40.62
So let me get
some of that flavor.
00:22:40.66\00:22:42.12
Can you taste the coconut milk?
00:22:46.83\00:22:50.50
Nice creamy consistency
and very flavorful...
00:22:50.53\00:22:53.47
The coconut milk
really, really, really
00:22:53.50\00:22:56.00
gave such flavor to that,
00:22:56.04\00:22:58.41
you know, even without
00:22:58.44\00:22:59.77
the coconut milk they can do it.
00:22:59.81\00:23:01.14
Now we've got some more
delicious recipes tonight.
00:23:01.18\00:23:03.65
What's next?
00:23:03.68\00:23:05.31
Okay, our next recipe is dosa.
00:23:05.35\00:23:09.22
For this you will need...
00:23:09.25\00:23:10.82
Oh, wow, those
ingredients sound great.
00:23:29.17\00:23:31.51
Everything you've been making
so far has been very flavorful.
00:23:31.54\00:23:36.14
Well, this is
quite a different recipe.
00:23:36.18\00:23:39.61
Last time when I showed,
00:23:39.65\00:23:40.98
it was a
different recipe I showed.
00:23:41.02\00:23:43.39
Mung beans. Okay.
00:23:43.42\00:23:44.95
I don't know.
00:23:44.99\00:23:46.32
I'm sure a lot of them remember
these are highly nutritious
00:23:46.35\00:23:49.96
and these mung beans are just...
00:23:49.99\00:23:52.89
I'm going to show you the ones,
00:23:52.93\00:23:54.36
we need to soak these overnight
and this is how they become.
00:23:54.40\00:23:57.90
Oh, wow. Okay?
00:23:57.93\00:23:59.53
They grow a little bit. Yes.
00:23:59.57\00:24:01.94
And this is how they become.
00:24:01.97\00:24:03.30
Now, I'm going to
make a batter with this.
00:24:03.34\00:24:05.64
And that's what we're
going to call it a dosa.
00:24:05.67\00:24:08.08
It's like a crepe. Okay.
00:24:08.11\00:24:10.05
Let's see if our viewers at
home can see the difference,
00:24:10.08\00:24:14.22
see the growth in these beans
00:24:14.25\00:24:16.85
and hopefully I don't spill
any of them out into that pan.
00:24:16.89\00:24:21.22
All right. So
what is our first step?
00:24:21.26\00:24:24.86
Let me put this over here. Okay.
00:24:24.89\00:24:26.23
Now I'm going to show
00:24:26.26\00:24:27.86
how we're going
to make the batter.
00:24:27.90\00:24:30.33
Okay.
00:24:30.37\00:24:31.70
All we have to do is...
00:24:31.73\00:24:33.64
I have the directions.
00:24:33.67\00:24:35.47
So in one cup that we soaked,
00:24:35.50\00:24:37.67
we add this into the blender
along with a piece of ginger.
00:24:37.71\00:24:42.91
Okay.
00:24:42.94\00:24:44.28
And some green
chilies which are optional,
00:24:44.31\00:24:47.25
you don't have to.
00:24:47.28\00:24:48.62
I took the seeds
out, it's deseeded.
00:24:48.65\00:24:50.99
So you can just
put as much as you want
00:24:51.02\00:24:53.02
and if you don't want
to, you don't have to add it.
00:24:53.05\00:24:55.56
Just the ginger...
00:24:55.59\00:24:56.93
I think that's added flavor,
I'd like that, that is...
00:24:56.96\00:24:58.29
Yeah. Yes.
00:24:58.33\00:24:59.66
Just the ginger
and the cumin seeds
00:24:59.69\00:25:01.76
will really
enhance the taste a lot.
00:25:01.80\00:25:04.90
And you put
little salt to taste.
00:25:04.93\00:25:07.40
Now this I already did blend it.
00:25:07.44\00:25:11.71
And this is how it
looks, this is the batter.
00:25:11.74\00:25:15.28
Did you see that? Oh, yeah.
00:25:15.31\00:25:16.81
So that's the
consistency that it should take
00:25:16.85\00:25:18.91
after you've blended it.
00:25:18.95\00:25:20.55
Yes, this is the consistency,
you should be able to pour.
00:25:20.58\00:25:23.45
Nice. Okay.
00:25:23.49\00:25:24.82
And now I'm going to
make the dosa or a crepe.
00:25:24.85\00:25:28.32
Okay. Okay, put it on fire.
00:25:28.36\00:25:31.29
We just need to get it
off, I don't want it too hot.
00:25:31.33\00:25:35.36
So I'm just going to pour
00:25:35.40\00:25:38.97
and you just spread it around
00:25:39.00\00:25:42.17
just like that.
00:25:42.20\00:25:46.24
When you first started it,
00:25:46.27\00:25:47.61
it kind of reminded me
of a pancake a little bit.
00:25:47.64\00:25:50.01
Yes.
00:25:50.05\00:25:51.61
Kind of like a
pancake but it's not sweet,
00:25:51.65\00:25:54.18
this is savory, it has ginger.
00:25:54.22\00:25:59.45
And you said it's
better for you than tortilla.
00:25:59.49\00:26:03.83
Yes. Because what
does tortilla have in it?
00:26:03.86\00:26:08.10
White flour most
of the time. Yes.
00:26:08.13\00:26:09.46
This is just the
beans and looks at this,
00:26:09.50\00:26:11.33
I'm just putting a
little bit oil on the sides,
00:26:11.37\00:26:16.44
just around it.
00:26:16.47\00:26:17.97
Okay?
00:26:18.01\00:26:19.34
Is that so the
edges don't stick or...
00:26:19.37\00:26:20.71
Yeah, so the edges don't stick
and it'll nicely and just put,
00:26:20.74\00:26:23.95
just sprinkle a few
drops in the middle there.
00:26:23.98\00:26:26.72
Okay, but we just
need it to go on the side.
00:26:26.75\00:26:32.45
Nice.
00:26:32.49\00:26:33.99
And now this
won't take very long.
00:26:34.02\00:26:36.89
And we usually eat
this for breakfast.
00:26:36.93\00:26:40.70
What are some things that you
put on it like for breakfast?
00:26:40.73\00:26:44.03
We usually use it
with chutney. Okay.
00:26:44.07\00:26:46.80
Okay, I'm going to
show how to make a chutney.
00:26:46.84\00:26:49.77
And then you get to eat the dosa
00:26:49.80\00:26:51.44
but then you get to eat
it with the chutney too.
00:26:51.47\00:26:53.34
I like that idea. Yes.
00:26:53.38\00:26:55.31
So it's really, really good.
00:26:55.34\00:26:57.38
This mung beans are
really high in protein,
00:26:57.41\00:27:01.55
it has 14 grams of protein,
00:27:01.58\00:27:03.82
just one cup has
14 grams of protein.
00:27:03.85\00:27:06.19
Wow.
00:27:06.22\00:27:07.56
And 15 grams of
fiber in it. Wow.
00:27:07.59\00:27:09.46
And these mung beans
are really, really good
00:27:09.49\00:27:12.66
for your digestion
00:27:12.69\00:27:14.66
but you usually don't
have that much abdominal gas
00:27:14.70\00:27:18.93
from eating these beans
00:27:18.97\00:27:20.30
but the other
beans might cause gas.
00:27:20.34\00:27:22.57
Well, that's a blessing
that this doesn't do that.
00:27:22.60\00:27:25.27
Yes.
00:27:25.31\00:27:26.64
So it's realty great
00:27:26.68\00:27:28.01
and we're adding
so much nutritional,
00:27:28.04\00:27:30.21
you know, you can see the taste
and you are not using like,
00:27:30.25\00:27:33.75
you know, like a
tortilla or you can use it,
00:27:33.78\00:27:36.55
you know, like a pancake
00:27:36.58\00:27:38.22
but you're not adding any sweet,
00:27:38.25\00:27:40.49
this is just enough spices...
00:27:40.52\00:27:43.39
Yes, to make it tasty,
00:27:43.43\00:27:45.39
if you want you
can add vegetables
00:27:45.43\00:27:47.73
and roll it up like a burrito.
00:27:47.76\00:27:49.53
Oh, nice. Yeah.
00:27:49.56\00:27:51.37
Now I... So
there are many options.
00:27:51.40\00:27:52.87
Many options that you can do,
00:27:52.90\00:27:55.14
you just have to be
creative and do this.
00:27:55.17\00:27:58.27
So you see, just wait...
00:27:58.31\00:27:59.64
I'm just waiting for it to
just cook a little bit longer.
00:27:59.67\00:28:03.04
Okay.
00:28:03.08\00:28:04.41
Because or else I
won't be able to take it
00:28:04.45\00:28:06.41
and then we flip
it to the other side.
00:28:06.45\00:28:08.72
Okay. So that part cooks.
00:28:08.75\00:28:10.65
Okay.
00:28:10.69\00:28:12.02
Okay, you just make sure
00:28:12.05\00:28:13.39
that both sides
are evenly cooked.
00:28:13.42\00:28:14.76
And then you dip it with...
00:28:14.79\00:28:16.73
And some people
eat it with salsa,
00:28:16.76\00:28:18.53
if you don't have a chutney,
00:28:18.56\00:28:20.73
you don't have
to worry about it.
00:28:20.76\00:28:22.10
Yeah.
00:28:22.13\00:28:23.47
Then let's put
some salsa on there.
00:28:23.50\00:28:24.83
Yes. Yes, okay.
00:28:24.87\00:28:29.80
Do you see that? Yeah.
00:28:29.84\00:28:32.77
I can tell
you've done this before.
00:28:32.81\00:28:34.44
Well, yes.
00:28:34.48\00:28:36.14
I make this, I made
this for my children
00:28:36.18\00:28:38.28
and I'm telling
you, they loved it.
00:28:38.31\00:28:40.45
Yes.
00:28:40.48\00:28:41.82
And it's very
nutritious. There you go.
00:28:41.85\00:28:46.02
Oh, that's going to be amazing.
00:28:46.05\00:28:48.02
So now you take it...
00:28:48.06\00:28:51.19
and flip it.
00:28:51.23\00:28:52.83
Wow. There.
00:28:52.86\00:28:55.83
Then you let that cook.
00:28:55.86\00:28:57.20
So how long do you let it
cook an each side approximately?
00:28:57.23\00:29:02.44
It depends on the flame. Okay.
00:29:02.47\00:29:04.61
If it's on a medium
flame, maybe like two minutes,
00:29:04.64\00:29:08.01
you know, you just have to
see when you're able to flip it,
00:29:08.04\00:29:12.38
then you know it's
cooked on that side.
00:29:12.41\00:29:13.92
Okay.
00:29:13.95\00:29:15.28
So you just let it sit
there for a minute or two
00:29:15.32\00:29:18.25
and then you
know that it's done.
00:29:18.29\00:29:20.32
Okay.
00:29:20.36\00:29:21.69
So you need to
have your plate ready.
00:29:21.72\00:29:23.32
Oh, you know, I come prepared.
00:29:23.36\00:29:27.60
Here we go.
00:29:27.63\00:29:31.13
This is just...
00:29:31.17\00:29:33.74
You would love
it, my kids loved it,
00:29:33.77\00:29:36.04
and you're going to love it,
00:29:36.07\00:29:37.41
I'm just going
to check one second.
00:29:37.44\00:29:38.77
Let's flip it one...
00:29:38.81\00:29:40.14
Yeah, just one
second just to make sure.
00:29:40.18\00:29:41.51
You can flip it
couple of times depending.
00:29:41.54\00:29:45.45
Okay. All right.
00:29:45.48\00:29:47.82
And I'm not going to eat
the whole thing right now
00:29:47.85\00:29:49.98
because I do
want to try it with...
00:29:50.02\00:29:51.59
You have to try and
eat it with the chutney.
00:29:51.62\00:29:54.36
And it's probably hot.
00:29:54.39\00:29:56.96
Let's see, let me
tear a piece off here.
00:29:56.99\00:29:59.46
I'll get a little
bigger piece there.
00:30:03.33\00:30:06.94
Is it too hot?
00:30:06.97\00:30:08.30
It's hot but
I'm going to eat it.
00:30:08.34\00:30:09.67
That's very good, very good.
00:30:13.61\00:30:15.64
Perfect
flavors, right? Isn't it?
00:30:15.68\00:30:19.51
Just the right amount of spice
and everything, very flavorful.
00:30:19.55\00:30:23.75
What do we have next?
00:30:23.79\00:30:25.49
Okay, next we're going to
make red bell pepper chutney.
00:30:25.52\00:30:31.33
And that's what
goes with that. Nice.
00:30:31.36\00:30:33.90
And what goes in that?
00:30:33.93\00:30:35.86
Okay, we need...
00:30:35.90\00:30:37.23
And for the seasoning
which is the second step,
00:31:02.39\00:31:05.03
we need...
00:31:05.06\00:31:06.39
So what's the first
step in this process?
00:31:17.84\00:31:20.34
Okay, first we
have to put some oil.
00:31:20.38\00:31:24.58
Okay.
00:31:24.61\00:31:28.48
A little oil in there.
00:31:28.52\00:31:30.25
When the oil is hot...
00:31:30.29\00:31:32.99
Is that flame
coming? Yes, yes, it is.
00:31:33.02\00:31:35.82
When the oil is
hot, we add cumin seeds.
00:31:35.86\00:31:39.39
Okay.
00:31:39.43\00:31:40.76
Do you want to
keep stirring for me?
00:31:45.80\00:31:47.14
Absolutely.
00:31:47.17\00:31:49.20
Cumin seems to
add a lot of flavor
00:31:49.24\00:31:51.14
to a lot of the dishes.
00:31:51.17\00:31:52.51
Yes, and now we are
making red bell pepper chutney.
00:31:52.54\00:31:57.15
So for the red
bell pepper chutney,
00:31:57.18\00:31:59.61
we add the cumin seeds.
00:31:59.65\00:32:01.12
As that's sautéing,
this is green chilies again.
00:32:01.15\00:32:04.62
Okay. Okay?
00:32:04.65\00:32:05.99
So you can add
as much as you want.
00:32:06.02\00:32:09.36
This is the one
that's going to give
00:32:09.39\00:32:11.03
just a little bit
heat to the chutney.
00:32:11.06\00:32:13.29
So if you want to
reduce the green chilies,
00:32:13.33\00:32:15.86
you can and you can
take the seeds out too.
00:32:15.90\00:32:19.47
Now as you see that's done,
00:32:19.50\00:32:21.50
I'm going to add
the red bell peppers.
00:32:21.54\00:32:24.74
Okay. Now we're talking.
00:32:24.77\00:32:27.01
Yes. Now we just keep stirring.
00:32:27.04\00:32:31.35
And usually if you
want this to finish,
00:32:31.38\00:32:33.62
you need to put the lid on.
00:32:33.65\00:32:35.72
Okay.
00:32:35.75\00:32:37.19
So, I can grab your lid for you.
00:32:37.22\00:32:38.92
Lid for me please.
00:32:38.95\00:32:42.62
There. Yeah.
00:32:42.66\00:32:45.16
Now usually, we
have to let this cook
00:32:45.19\00:32:49.56
just for about
two or three minutes.
00:32:49.60\00:32:52.73
You shouldn't
overcook the bell peppers.
00:32:52.77\00:32:55.27
Okay. But they should be cooked.
00:32:55.30\00:32:57.97
In a little bit
now, once it's cooked,
00:32:58.01\00:32:59.94
we'll just pretend it's
cooked for two to three minutes.
00:32:59.97\00:33:01.94
Okay.
00:33:01.98\00:33:03.31
And now, we will
add the tomatoes.
00:33:03.35\00:33:06.88
Give it a nice stir.
00:33:09.85\00:33:13.05
This is so high and
rich in antioxidants.
00:33:13.09\00:33:18.29
The red bell peppers
have vitamin A, vitamin C.
00:33:18.33\00:33:23.26
I love the combination
of the red and green.
00:33:23.30\00:33:26.00
Yes.
00:33:26.03\00:33:28.74
Now this is...
It smells amazing.
00:33:28.77\00:33:30.14
Yes, we just
need to let that cook.
00:33:30.17\00:33:33.84
Now once that's
cooked, though this is,
00:33:33.88\00:33:35.98
in South India, we
make chutneys a lot.
00:33:36.01\00:33:39.98
You know, because this
goes with the dosa that you ate.
00:33:40.02\00:33:42.52
Yes, yes.
00:33:42.55\00:33:43.89
I saved a little bit of
that because I want to try it.
00:33:43.92\00:33:47.66
And we do these chutneys
with a variety of vegetables,
00:33:47.69\00:33:52.86
a lot of vegetables
are used for the chutneys.
00:33:52.89\00:33:55.60
So this is just one
kind of that I'm making
00:33:55.63\00:33:58.90
for this particular one
00:33:58.93\00:34:00.27
but you can use this recipe
and make with any vegetables.
00:34:00.30\00:34:03.44
You can make it with
eggplants. What about fruits?
00:34:03.47\00:34:06.04
Fruits... Is there
like a mango chutney?
00:34:06.07\00:34:07.94
Yes, there is a mango
chutney also that you can make.
00:34:07.98\00:34:12.05
Okay.
00:34:12.08\00:34:13.42
See that? It's almost cooking.
00:34:17.09\00:34:19.52
Now...
00:34:19.55\00:34:22.02
Oh, yeah.
00:34:22.06\00:34:24.29
We have to blend this. Okay.
00:34:24.33\00:34:27.40
And then I will show you
the second step after blending.
00:34:27.43\00:34:31.63
But we have to blend
that with some garlic.
00:34:31.67\00:34:35.57
Okay. Okay.
00:34:35.60\00:34:38.87
We've got our blender here.
00:34:38.91\00:34:42.04
Just for a few more
minutes, I'm just waiting to see
00:34:42.08\00:34:45.21
if this can cook
a little bit longer.
00:34:45.25\00:34:47.72
Okay.
00:34:47.75\00:34:50.45
I'll set this over
here for the time being.
00:34:50.49\00:34:54.52
Now this has vitamin A,
00:34:54.56\00:34:56.52
it has lutein which
is good for the eyes.
00:34:56.56\00:34:59.79
So it protects from cataracts
00:34:59.83\00:35:01.70
and macular
degeneration of your eyes.
00:35:01.73\00:35:05.07
Right.
00:35:05.10\00:35:06.43
Yes, and it has
a lot of vitamin C,
00:35:06.47\00:35:08.84
it's good for the skin.
00:35:08.87\00:35:10.21
I eat a lot. Okay.
00:35:10.24\00:35:11.57
Yeah, my skin is good.
00:35:11.61\00:35:14.48
So I eat a lot of this.
00:35:14.51\00:35:16.11
Now, we'll just take it out.
00:35:16.14\00:35:19.88
Okay, so... We
just have to put...
00:35:19.91\00:35:22.98
Now, are you
ready for the blender?
00:35:23.02\00:35:25.79
Yes. Okay.
00:35:25.82\00:35:28.29
Now, usually we just
let it cool a little bit.
00:35:28.32\00:35:33.19
So we don't want to...
00:35:33.23\00:35:36.13
Now maybe if you
can hold it. Yes.
00:35:36.16\00:35:39.03
Hold it together for me.
00:35:39.07\00:35:41.17
Okay, let's see
how we can do this.
00:35:41.20\00:35:42.97
That side.
00:35:43.00\00:35:45.77
Oops!
00:35:45.81\00:35:49.34
Yeah, sometimes it's hard
to get it all in the blender
00:35:49.38\00:35:53.52
but we're going to make it work.
00:35:53.55\00:35:57.22
I spilled a little bit there.
00:35:57.25\00:36:02.62
There you go. Perfect.
00:36:02.66\00:36:04.73
All right, let's put it there.
00:36:04.76\00:36:07.06
And...
00:36:07.10\00:36:08.90
Here is a
little piece of garlic,
00:36:08.93\00:36:10.40
we have to put fresh garlic.
00:36:10.43\00:36:11.77
Okay.
00:36:11.80\00:36:13.13
And little bit salt.
00:36:13.17\00:36:17.21
And this is the tamarind.
00:36:17.24\00:36:20.31
That's the tamarind there? Yes.
00:36:20.34\00:36:21.88
Okay.
00:36:21.91\00:36:23.35
Did you ever see
the tamarind? Oh, wow.
00:36:23.38\00:36:27.15
I just soaked it in water.
00:36:27.18\00:36:28.52
Yeah, I've never
seen that before.
00:36:28.55\00:36:29.88
Yes.
00:36:29.92\00:36:31.29
And now you can blend it for me.
00:36:31.32\00:36:33.02
Okay.
00:36:33.05\00:36:36.06
And we want to get it to
a nice smooth consistency,
00:36:36.09\00:36:39.26
is that the goal?
00:36:39.29\00:36:40.63
Yes, very
smooth. Okay, let's see.
00:36:40.66\00:36:43.03
Let's bring this
over just a little bit.
00:36:43.06\00:36:46.47
There. Yeah, all right.
00:36:46.50\00:36:49.57
Here we go. Yeah.
00:36:49.60\00:36:50.94
Fabulous.
00:37:00.35\00:37:01.68
A little more than
that or that's good?
00:37:01.72\00:37:03.05
Perfect, great
job. Yeah, all right.
00:37:03.08\00:37:06.55
And now where do
we want to pour this?
00:37:06.59\00:37:08.19
Okay, just wait, not yet. Okay.
00:37:08.22\00:37:12.39
Now, this is step two.
00:37:12.43\00:37:14.33
For the chutney,
00:37:14.36\00:37:15.70
we're going to
season the chutney.
00:37:15.73\00:37:17.37
I have the pan here.
00:37:17.40\00:37:20.64
Going to put some oil.
00:37:20.67\00:37:24.57
When the oil is hot, what
ingredient do I put first?
00:37:24.61\00:37:30.05
Oh, is that mustard seeds?
00:37:30.08\00:37:31.41
Mustard seeds, right. Okay.
00:37:31.45\00:37:33.68
But when it's hot. Okay.
00:37:33.72\00:37:35.32
And then the cumin seeds. Okay.
00:37:39.89\00:37:43.43
And then the urad dhal.
00:37:43.46\00:37:45.13
So it really
adds that extra flavor
00:37:49.46\00:37:52.33
to the base of your dish.
00:37:52.37\00:37:54.04
It has nice sizzle.
Then the curry leaves.
00:38:00.78\00:38:03.35
I turned this off
and now we can add that.
00:38:09.62\00:38:13.15
Lovely. All right.
00:38:13.19\00:38:17.09
Spices get you
sometimes, huh? Yes.
00:38:21.36\00:38:25.83
Oh, nice. Look at that.
00:38:25.87\00:38:28.80
Pour right in there.
00:38:28.84\00:38:31.81
All right.
00:38:31.84\00:38:34.14
It's all done. Okay.
00:38:34.18\00:38:38.18
All right.
00:38:38.21\00:38:39.88
There you go.
00:38:39.91\00:38:41.52
Where is your dosa?
00:38:41.55\00:38:43.22
Oh, I've got it right here.
00:38:43.25\00:38:45.25
Right here and
ready for some chutney.
00:38:45.29\00:38:48.22
There you go. All right.
00:38:52.23\00:38:54.90
We have it all done.
00:38:54.93\00:38:56.46
Now actually we'll
cook it for a little longer
00:38:56.50\00:38:58.40
so it won't be this, it
will be just a little thicker.
00:38:58.43\00:39:01.10
Okay. Okay.
00:39:01.14\00:39:02.64
So I'll just put it
there, you can dip...
00:39:02.67\00:39:04.01
On the sides so I can dip in.
Yes, you can dip it and eat it.
00:39:04.04\00:39:06.64
So I want you to try
that, I'll grab that.
00:39:06.68\00:39:08.44
I'll try with it.
00:39:08.48\00:39:09.81
Yup.
00:39:16.82\00:39:18.15
This is massive flavor here.
00:39:21.99\00:39:24.99
And it's so flavorful.
00:39:25.03\00:39:26.90
And the
combination of the chutney...
00:39:26.93\00:39:30.27
With the
dosa... With the dosa...
00:39:30.30\00:39:32.13
Yeah, you can't
eat dosa by itself,
00:39:32.17\00:39:33.97
you know, you have to
eat it with something.
00:39:34.00\00:39:35.47
That's absolutely amazing. Yes.
00:39:35.50\00:39:38.27
So then what did we
have over here, what is...
00:39:38.31\00:39:41.98
Oh, we were supposed to
put this cilantro in there
00:39:42.01\00:39:43.35
and blend it.
00:39:43.38\00:39:44.71
That's all right.
00:39:44.75\00:39:46.08
I got started a
little early, that's okay.
00:39:46.11\00:39:47.52
That's okay.
00:39:47.55\00:39:48.88
The cilantro goes in
the blending, blending.
00:39:48.92\00:39:50.25
Yes.
00:39:50.29\00:39:51.62
But... There you go.
00:39:51.65\00:39:54.26
Very good. Yes.
00:39:54.29\00:39:55.62
Now, what's our next recipe?
00:39:55.66\00:39:57.13
Our next recipe
is sautéed cabbage
00:39:57.16\00:40:01.63
and carrots with coconut.
00:40:01.66\00:40:04.07
Okay, and what's in that?
00:40:04.10\00:40:05.47
For that we need...
00:40:05.50\00:40:06.84
So how do we start this dish?
00:40:42.94\00:40:45.44
Well, the same way,
we're going to put oil.
00:40:45.47\00:40:47.78
Okay.
00:40:47.81\00:40:50.38
Now, we'll
pretend the oil is hot.
00:40:50.41\00:40:52.31
You already know the
next step. All right.
00:40:52.35\00:40:54.15
Tell me what goes
next? Mustard seeds.
00:40:54.18\00:40:56.15
Exactly, now you are
a pro. Oh, you know it.
00:40:56.18\00:41:00.02
I'm trying to get there.
00:41:00.06\00:41:01.42
And then we'll
do the cumin seeds.
00:41:01.46\00:41:06.49
And urad dhal.
00:41:06.53\00:41:09.70
These are the dry ingredients.
00:41:09.73\00:41:11.87
So we just let that sauté
00:41:11.90\00:41:13.84
just for a little bit
00:41:13.87\00:41:15.20
and you'll see the
mustard seeds spurring.
00:41:15.24\00:41:18.01
And then you add...
00:41:18.04\00:41:20.94
green chilies.
00:41:20.98\00:41:23.95
Actually a while ago,
we can add the red chili.
00:41:23.98\00:41:26.31
I didn't break this, if
you break it, it's very hot.
00:41:26.35\00:41:29.05
So I'm just leaving
it there as a whole.
00:41:29.08\00:41:31.15
Okay, we can put
the red chili there,
00:41:31.19\00:41:33.79
just let's sauté that
in the oil a little bit.
00:41:33.82\00:41:36.93
We put the curry leaves. Okay.
00:41:36.96\00:41:40.10
Everybody loves
the curry leaves,
00:41:40.13\00:41:41.70
they are from my backyard.
00:41:41.73\00:41:43.20
Yes.
00:41:43.23\00:41:44.93
And here is the garlic. Okay.
00:41:44.97\00:41:49.74
I love garlic
and I love the fact
00:41:49.77\00:41:52.74
that you use fresh ingredients,
not processed or anything.
00:41:52.77\00:41:55.48
Yes, nothing. I don't
like canned vegetables.
00:41:55.51\00:41:57.88
Yeah.
00:41:57.91\00:41:59.25
So now...
00:41:59.28\00:42:01.08
See that sputtering? Yes.
00:42:01.12\00:42:02.62
You are adding the
cabbage. Cabbage, okay.
00:42:02.65\00:42:06.19
And then you nicely mix
all the ingredients together.
00:42:06.22\00:42:09.76
Okay.
00:42:09.79\00:42:11.79
Now cabbage is a
cruciferous vegetable.
00:42:11.83\00:42:14.76
It's like kale, cauliflower,
00:42:14.80\00:42:17.50
these are all
cruciferous vegetables.
00:42:17.53\00:42:19.33
I'm telling you
these are notorious
00:42:19.37\00:42:22.60
for beneficial nutrients,
excellent nutrients in cabbage.
00:42:22.64\00:42:27.91
My mom loves
cabbage. There you go.
00:42:27.94\00:42:32.61
Now, we will
normally let this cook...
00:42:32.65\00:42:37.35
With...
00:42:37.39\00:42:38.72
I'll add the cabbage too.
00:42:38.75\00:42:41.46
I mean sorry, the
carrots. The carrots, uh-huh.
00:42:41.49\00:42:43.02
This is grated carrot.
00:42:43.06\00:42:44.63
We'll mix all of it.
00:42:44.66\00:42:46.06
That will give it
a nice color. Yes.
00:42:46.09\00:42:49.83
Now we can add a little salt.
00:42:49.86\00:42:52.83
What are carrots good for?
00:42:52.87\00:42:54.64
Oh, beta-carotene.
00:42:54.67\00:42:57.91
Good for your eyes and...
00:42:57.94\00:42:59.47
Yes, for your vision. Yes.
00:42:59.51\00:43:02.64
But half a cup...
00:43:02.68\00:43:04.48
Okay, just half a cup of cooked
cabbage is only 20 calories.
00:43:04.51\00:43:09.15
Oh, wow.
00:43:09.18\00:43:10.52
Yes, and very high...
00:43:10.55\00:43:12.62
I mean more than 80
micrograms of potassium.
00:43:12.65\00:43:17.99
Vitamin K it has in
it. Sorry, vitamin K.
00:43:18.03\00:43:20.53
Okay. Okay.
00:43:20.56\00:43:22.06
Now you stir all
these, we put the salt in it.
00:43:22.10\00:43:25.83
We have to...
00:43:25.87\00:43:28.57
Sorry, we have
to let that cook...
00:43:28.60\00:43:31.34
Okay.
00:43:31.37\00:43:32.71
For a little bit, you
don't overcook the cabbage
00:43:32.74\00:43:35.08
but you have to just let it cook
00:43:35.11\00:43:37.45
and you can see the, you know,
00:43:37.48\00:43:39.01
when it's starting to maybe
about 5 minutes or 10 minutes,
00:43:39.05\00:43:42.78
not to overcook, you
know, cabbage is really nice,
00:43:42.82\00:43:45.12
you have that nice
crisp, a little crisp to it.
00:43:45.15\00:43:46.82
Yes.
00:43:46.86\00:43:48.19
If it's too
overcooked, it's just soggy.
00:43:48.22\00:43:49.56
Like soggy, yeah.
Yeah, it won't be good.
00:43:49.59\00:43:51.99
So once we let this
cook for a little bit,
00:43:52.03\00:43:54.53
then guess what we add finally?
00:43:54.56\00:43:56.50
What do we add?
Oh, is that coconut?
00:43:56.53\00:43:59.73
This is grated coconut.
00:43:59.77\00:44:01.60
It's frozen, we have
it in the Indian store.
00:44:01.64\00:44:04.44
But you can use it,
00:44:04.47\00:44:05.81
there is coconut
powder nowadays available.
00:44:05.84\00:44:08.14
You know, so you
just use grated coconut
00:44:08.18\00:44:10.25
or maybe a little coconut powder
00:44:10.28\00:44:11.61
also you can sprinkle on it.
00:44:11.65\00:44:13.25
But this is
grated, not sweetened.
00:44:13.28\00:44:14.68
Okay, unsweetened.
00:44:14.72\00:44:16.22
This is
unsweetened. Okay, got you.
00:44:16.25\00:44:17.65
You have to look for that.
00:44:17.69\00:44:19.02
But if it's sweetened,
it will just ruin the taste.
00:44:19.05\00:44:20.76
Yeah, throw off
that flavor. Yes.
00:44:20.79\00:44:22.36
Got you.
00:44:22.39\00:44:23.73
You know, but
cabbage is so easy to cook
00:44:23.76\00:44:26.19
but it's
exceptionally flavorful.
00:44:26.23\00:44:28.36
I am adding a lot of
flavor. Can you see that?
00:44:28.40\00:44:30.87
The cumin seeds,
the mustard seeds,
00:44:30.90\00:44:32.93
just this tiny little bit,
00:44:32.97\00:44:35.47
it enhances the taste
so much for any vegetable.
00:44:35.50\00:44:39.64
That's why Indian cooking,
you know, the tasty that's,
00:44:39.67\00:44:43.58
you know, we just
don't boil and eat.
00:44:43.61\00:44:45.31
Yeah.
00:44:45.35\00:44:47.05
Taste and making
sure it's just right.
00:44:47.08\00:44:49.52
Yes. Absolutely.
00:44:49.55\00:44:51.45
Now, we will pretend
00:44:51.49\00:44:54.72
that this has been cooked
for about 5 to 10 minutes.
00:44:54.76\00:44:56.99
Yeah, okay.
00:44:57.03\00:44:58.36
Depending on what, you
know, you like on medium heat
00:44:58.39\00:45:00.90
or don't put it on too high.
00:45:00.93\00:45:03.77
And make sure
you put enough salt.
00:45:03.80\00:45:06.53
And now I'm going to
add the grated coconut.
00:45:06.57\00:45:08.34
This is the last step. Okay.
00:45:08.37\00:45:09.84
After you add
the grated coconut,
00:45:09.87\00:45:11.47
you just leave
it in for about...
00:45:11.51\00:45:14.38
three to four minutes.
00:45:14.41\00:45:15.74
Okay.
00:45:15.78\00:45:17.11
And let that cook
with the grated coconut.
00:45:17.15\00:45:21.22
Nice.
00:45:21.25\00:45:24.59
Very colorful. Yes.
00:45:24.62\00:45:26.05
You've the red,
you've the orange,
00:45:26.09\00:45:27.89
you've the green, and white.
00:45:27.92\00:45:29.26
And now, I added the
carrots to the cabbage.
00:45:29.29\00:45:33.70
Carrots have the beta-carotene,
it's good for your skin,
00:45:33.73\00:45:36.50
it keeps you from not aging.
00:45:36.53\00:45:38.23
I eat a lot of carrots everyday.
00:45:38.27\00:45:41.00
A lot of carrots?
00:45:41.04\00:45:42.37
Yes, because I don't
want to age that fast.
00:45:42.40\00:45:43.74
I hear you, I hear
you, I don't blame you.
00:45:43.77\00:45:45.27
So I do.
00:45:45.31\00:45:46.64
And, of course, coconut,
00:45:46.68\00:45:48.01
coconut also has
very healthy fats.
00:45:48.04\00:45:49.88
And it has great
nutritional value,
00:45:49.91\00:45:51.78
now they are into coconut a lot,
00:45:51.81\00:45:53.75
you know, people are...
00:45:53.78\00:45:55.12
Uh-huh, coconut oil,
coconut milk, yes, yes.
00:45:55.15\00:45:58.49
So this is it.
00:45:58.52\00:45:59.95
Now, I want you
to tell me the taste.
00:45:59.99\00:46:03.19
Okay.
00:46:03.22\00:46:04.56
Now, I have something
that you have prepared.
00:46:04.59\00:46:06.59
Yes.
00:46:06.63\00:46:07.96
And I am going to grab that now.
00:46:08.00\00:46:11.77
And check out the flavor.
00:46:11.80\00:46:13.80
Let's see, nice,
healthy, delicious.
00:46:13.84\00:46:16.74
Do you see how that's
been transformed into...
00:46:20.74\00:46:24.08
That coconut, the cabbage,
00:46:24.11\00:46:26.95
and the carrot in combination
00:46:26.98\00:46:29.22
with the Indian
spices just a little bit.
00:46:29.25\00:46:31.09
It has just the
right amount of spice too.
00:46:31.12\00:46:34.86
It really gives
it a different flavor
00:46:34.89\00:46:37.33
like it's not just like...
00:46:37.36\00:46:39.29
It's not like
boring old cabbage,
00:46:39.33\00:46:41.06
this is like jazzed up,
spiced up, delicious cabbage.
00:46:41.10\00:46:44.83
This is good. Yup.
00:46:44.87\00:46:47.20
What will we be making next?
00:46:47.24\00:46:49.07
We will be making
00:46:49.10\00:46:50.44
vegan dried
fruit and nut ladoos.
00:46:50.47\00:46:53.41
For that we will need...
00:46:53.44\00:46:54.88
Oh, wow. So how do we
get started with this recipe?
00:47:06.15\00:47:09.86
Okay, I already have dates here.
00:47:09.89\00:47:11.79
Okay. They are pitted dates.
00:47:11.83\00:47:13.16
So we chopped them.
00:47:13.19\00:47:14.60
Okay, we're just going to
put this in our food processor.
00:47:14.63\00:47:17.80
Okay. A little sticky there.
00:47:17.83\00:47:20.54
Here I got a spoon
that can help with that.
00:47:20.57\00:47:24.24
Here you go.
00:47:24.27\00:47:27.81
Oh, actually first
we will do the nuts.
00:47:27.84\00:47:30.78
Okay, so you want to
put the nuts in first.
00:47:30.81\00:47:32.15
Yeah, yeah, first
before we do the dates,
00:47:32.18\00:47:34.85
we have to do the nuts
and just give them a little...
00:47:34.88\00:47:38.35
So that they can... Okay.
00:47:38.39\00:47:41.46
Okay, let's put this first.
00:47:41.49\00:47:44.63
These things always mess me
up, like trying to get it going.
00:47:44.66\00:47:49.30
So we'll just pulse
the nuts a little bit.
00:47:49.33\00:47:54.04
Okay.
00:47:57.51\00:47:58.97
And now I'm
going to add the dates.
00:47:59.01\00:48:01.51
Okay.
00:48:01.54\00:48:02.88
Put the dates in there.
00:48:05.95\00:48:08.75
This is
excellent, I'm telling you.
00:48:08.78\00:48:10.75
Dates have
massive health benefits.
00:48:10.79\00:48:12.92
It's going to add
the sweetness to it too.
00:48:12.95\00:48:14.66
Yes. All right.
00:48:14.69\00:48:16.02
And just a
little cardamom powder.
00:48:16.06\00:48:18.36
Okay.
00:48:18.39\00:48:19.73
Now, that takes it to
a new different level.
00:48:19.76\00:48:22.13
Really? Really, I'm telling you.
00:48:22.16\00:48:25.67
Okay, I'm just going to
turn it on for a little bit.
00:48:25.70\00:48:28.67
Just a little bit, that's all.
00:48:33.17\00:48:36.24
I just want to make sure.
00:48:36.28\00:48:37.75
Look at that. Okay.
00:48:44.99\00:48:46.55
And now you just take it out
00:48:46.59\00:48:50.03
and I'm going to
put it in a bowl.
00:48:50.06\00:48:51.99
Okay.
00:48:52.03\00:48:54.73
Okay.
00:48:54.76\00:48:56.40
My hands are just...
I'm washing my hands.
00:48:56.43\00:48:59.47
Yeah, I'm just washing my hands.
00:48:59.50\00:49:02.94
And with your hand,
00:49:02.97\00:49:04.31
you just have to
kind of mix the nuts
00:49:04.34\00:49:06.07
and the dates together.
00:49:06.11\00:49:09.18
Okay? I'll mix in here.
00:49:09.21\00:49:12.31
And then, look at this.
00:49:12.35\00:49:15.18
You just make a
nice round circle,
00:49:15.22\00:49:20.92
just like that.
00:49:20.96\00:49:22.59
Oh, wow. Did you see that?
00:49:22.62\00:49:24.23
Yeah. So you just make
a little round circle...
00:49:24.26\00:49:26.63
Yeah, or you can just put
it on the palm of your hand
00:49:26.66\00:49:28.66
and just roll it up.
00:49:28.70\00:49:30.03
And there it is,
a nice round circle.
00:49:30.07\00:49:32.07
Now when did you
start making these?
00:49:32.10\00:49:34.64
Well, I always,
always, always make these
00:49:34.67\00:49:37.74
because these are
just highly nutritious,
00:49:37.77\00:49:39.44
you have your nuts.
00:49:39.47\00:49:40.81
If you don't want
to use all of them,
00:49:40.84\00:49:42.44
I mean cashews
and walnuts is what,
00:49:42.48\00:49:44.95
I'm allergic to
almonds, you can use almonds
00:49:44.98\00:49:46.75
or if you can use sesame seeds,
you can use sunflower seeds.
00:49:46.78\00:49:50.89
You can use any seeds in here
just the recipe that I gave,
00:49:50.92\00:49:54.16
you can just put whatever
amount according to the recipe.
00:49:54.19\00:49:57.63
You want to
substitute and not put,
00:49:57.66\00:49:59.83
you know, cashews,
you can put whatever,
00:49:59.86\00:50:01.46
but just half a cup
00:50:01.50\00:50:02.90
for one and a half cup of dates.
00:50:02.93\00:50:04.53
Okay. Okay?
00:50:04.57\00:50:05.97
And then, I want you to try it
and see, see how easy that was.
00:50:06.00\00:50:09.57
I've got one down here.
00:50:09.60\00:50:12.34
I always try and keep a
nice delicious snack over here.
00:50:12.37\00:50:16.71
Let's see here.
00:50:16.75\00:50:19.01
And just tell me how it tastes.
00:50:19.05\00:50:23.92
That's good.
00:50:23.95\00:50:25.29
All natural, all natural,
the dates are natural, sugars,
00:50:25.32\00:50:27.29
it's high in
sugars but it's natural.
00:50:27.32\00:50:30.26
You know, it
keeps you really full
00:50:30.29\00:50:32.66
and, you know,
keep your hunger...
00:50:32.69\00:50:34.90
When you are hungry,
you just eat one date.
00:50:34.93\00:50:37.50
It keeps you pacified
but this has nuts in it.
00:50:37.53\00:50:40.00
So it's extra nutrition
00:50:40.04\00:50:42.37
because all the
seeds that I added.
00:50:42.40\00:50:44.11
If you put
sunflower seeds or whatever,
00:50:44.14\00:50:45.64
that's good for your
brain, frontal lobe function,
00:50:45.67\00:50:48.61
increases your
circulation to the frontal lobe.
00:50:48.64\00:50:51.31
This has excellent,
excellent health benefits.
00:50:51.35\00:50:53.85
This is all natural,
I didn't add anything
00:50:53.88\00:50:56.02
but just dates and nuts.
00:50:56.05\00:50:57.79
Nice.
00:50:57.82\00:50:59.15
And that's very flavorful,
I mean it's got the crunch,
00:50:59.19\00:51:02.56
the nice texture in there.
00:51:02.59\00:51:04.19
But then it's got
this sweet flavor as well.
00:51:04.23\00:51:06.19
And the cardamom that I added
was just a quarter teaspoon.
00:51:06.23\00:51:09.66
Wow!
00:51:09.70\00:51:11.03
But can you see that
00:51:11.07\00:51:12.40
it just gives it
such a wonderful flavor,
00:51:12.43\00:51:15.10
I'm telling you the flavor
just explodes in your mouth.
00:51:15.14\00:51:17.11
Yes, yes.
00:51:17.14\00:51:18.47
Sometimes just a
quarter teaspoon,
00:51:18.51\00:51:19.84
sometimes less is best.
00:51:19.87\00:51:21.21
So that is excellent. But
this has excellent flavor.
00:51:21.24\00:51:23.45
Oh, yeah. That's
what I love about it.
00:51:23.48\00:51:24.88
Absolutely, absolutely.
00:51:24.91\00:51:26.75
How do people...
00:51:26.78\00:51:28.12
Now, like when people
want to get in touch with you
00:51:28.15\00:51:30.72
because you do
cooking classes as well.
00:51:30.75\00:51:32.15
Yes, yes.
00:51:32.19\00:51:33.52
How do they get
in touch with you?
00:51:33.56\00:51:34.89
What number can they
call? What's your email address?
00:51:34.92\00:51:37.29
Yeah, well they can
actually go to my website
00:51:37.33\00:51:39.63
which is Sweet Soothing Music,
they can go to my website,
00:51:39.66\00:51:42.26
it's there or they can...
00:51:42.30\00:51:43.63
My email padmamedidi@gmail.com,
they can email me.
00:51:43.67\00:51:47.57
You know, my phone
number is (813) 325-5783,
00:51:47.60\00:51:51.77
they can call me.
00:51:51.81\00:51:53.14
I can answer
all their questions.
00:51:53.17\00:51:54.84
I know a lot of
people who call me
00:51:54.88\00:51:56.31
and they have lots of questions.
00:51:56.34\00:51:58.15
But they can
contact me, anybody.
00:51:58.18\00:52:00.38
Nice, nice.
00:52:00.42\00:52:01.75
Well, I've
definitely enjoyed everything
00:52:01.78\00:52:03.89
that we've had thus far.
00:52:03.92\00:52:05.59
Tell us a little
bit about the dishes
00:52:05.62\00:52:07.26
that you've made today
00:52:07.29\00:52:09.59
and the
nutritional benefits it has?
00:52:09.62\00:52:11.93
Now first
actually, we did spinach.
00:52:11.96\00:52:14.93
You know that...
Okay. The spinach rice.
00:52:14.96\00:52:17.03
The spinach rice
which I told you,
00:52:17.07\00:52:18.40
if nobody wants...
00:52:18.43\00:52:19.77
The kids don't
want to eat spinach.
00:52:19.80\00:52:21.14
This is an excellent
way to prepare spinach,
00:52:21.17\00:52:23.10
just look at the directions
00:52:23.14\00:52:24.61
and see how you
can make the spinach.
00:52:24.64\00:52:26.94
And, you know, spinach is
high in iron, magnesium, folate,
00:52:26.98\00:52:30.81
it has so many
nutritional values to it.
00:52:30.85\00:52:33.95
And next, we made...
00:52:33.98\00:52:36.79
The red kidney
bean curry. Right here.
00:52:36.82\00:52:39.22
With the coconut in
it that adds such flavor,
00:52:39.25\00:52:45.69
massive flavors
when you put coconut,
00:52:45.73\00:52:48.36
little bit of
coconut milk in it.
00:52:48.40\00:52:49.73
Yes. Okay.
00:52:49.76\00:52:51.10
So that's really
an excellent dish,
00:52:51.13\00:52:53.17
high, very high in protein.
00:52:53.20\00:52:56.60
And fiber too, right?
00:52:56.64\00:52:57.97
Yes, high fiber
and protein also.
00:52:58.01\00:53:00.98
And the next one is
the dosa or the crepe.
00:53:01.01\00:53:04.21
You can just eat
it like a tortilla,
00:53:04.25\00:53:07.25
you know, in your burritos,
00:53:07.28\00:53:08.72
you can put
vegetables in there and eat it
00:53:08.75\00:53:11.45
or you can eat
it with the chutney
00:53:11.49\00:53:13.36
which is the red bell
pepper chutney that I made.
00:53:13.39\00:53:16.42
Now you tasted
that, how tasty was that?
00:53:16.46\00:53:19.49
Oh, it was amazing.
00:53:19.53\00:53:20.86
So flavorful, so delicious
00:53:20.90\00:53:23.37
and just the right
the amount of spice.
00:53:23.40\00:53:25.30
Exactly, but we don't
eat chutney by itself,
00:53:25.33\00:53:28.10
it's always you
eat it with rice,
00:53:28.14\00:53:31.47
or you eat it with dosa,
or you eat it with something.
00:53:31.51\00:53:34.44
You know, it just compliments
00:53:34.48\00:53:35.81
whatever dish that
you are eating it with.
00:53:35.84\00:53:37.98
So you usually
eat this with dosa
00:53:38.01\00:53:40.32
but you don't
just eat it by itself.
00:53:40.35\00:53:42.82
I almost want to grab the bowl,
and get a spoon, and just...
00:53:42.85\00:53:45.42
Wow, really? It
was so flavorful.
00:53:45.45\00:53:49.12
And the next dish
is cabbage, coconut,
00:53:49.16\00:53:53.76
and also carrots
00:53:53.80\00:53:55.13
that we have
grated carrot in there.
00:53:55.16\00:53:57.03
Now, that's an excellent
dish that's so beneficial
00:53:57.07\00:53:59.90
with so many health nutrients.
00:53:59.93\00:54:01.94
As you can see, I
have used all natural,
00:54:01.97\00:54:05.87
I didn't use
any canned products.
00:54:05.91\00:54:08.48
Even my tomatoes, I pureed them,
00:54:08.51\00:54:10.85
I didn't use it from the can.
00:54:10.88\00:54:12.51
Why don't you like canned stuff?
00:54:12.55\00:54:13.95
Why don't you like...
00:54:13.98\00:54:15.32
Why do you like
everything fresh?
00:54:15.35\00:54:16.69
Because they add
chemicals, they add chemicals.
00:54:16.72\00:54:18.49
And there are so many chemicals.
00:54:18.52\00:54:20.06
But there is a
difference when you eat fresh.
00:54:20.09\00:54:23.49
Okay.
00:54:23.53\00:54:24.86
There is a
significant difference in taste.
00:54:24.89\00:54:27.70
And we Indians are up for taste.
00:54:27.73\00:54:30.37
We just want everything really,
really with enhanced taste.
00:54:30.40\00:54:34.20
So we'll do
anything to enhance the taste
00:54:34.24\00:54:36.97
and just these little
spices take it to another level.
00:54:37.01\00:54:40.04
Yeah, because I
noticed in some of the recipes
00:54:40.08\00:54:42.31
like you would only put
00:54:42.34\00:54:43.68
like a quarter teaspoon
for example or something.
00:54:43.71\00:54:45.51
And it really like
added that extra flavor
00:54:45.55\00:54:48.92
and gave it that
punch that it needed.
00:54:48.95\00:54:50.95
Yes, and you can just
boil cabbage and eat it.
00:54:50.99\00:54:54.62
But if you just put a little
mustard and the cumin seeds,
00:54:54.66\00:54:58.56
it will be really,
really give you great taste.
00:54:58.59\00:55:02.50
And if somebody
don't have those with them,
00:55:02.53\00:55:05.93
if you don't have
mustard seeds, it's okay,
00:55:05.97\00:55:07.84
you can just use
the cumin seeds for...
00:55:07.87\00:55:10.77
Another thing
though, with the cabbage
00:55:10.81\00:55:13.17
that I liked that you
did is you didn't allow it
00:55:13.21\00:55:15.64
to reach a place
where it got soggy.
00:55:15.68\00:55:17.98
Like it was...
Yes. Didn't overcook it.
00:55:18.01\00:55:19.58
Yes, yes.
00:55:19.61\00:55:20.95
Yes, we don't overcook
cabbage and even the carrots,
00:55:20.98\00:55:23.39
that's very nice,
a little crunch to it
00:55:23.42\00:55:25.69
and it tastes really good
00:55:25.72\00:55:27.06
just with a
little grated coconut.
00:55:27.09\00:55:28.56
And if you don't
have coconut, it's okay,
00:55:28.59\00:55:30.06
you don't have to use it.
00:55:30.09\00:55:31.53
But if you have
it, you can use it too.
00:55:31.56\00:55:33.73
And I just want
to let people know
00:55:33.76\00:55:35.13
that if you don't
have certain spices,
00:55:35.16\00:55:38.03
whatever you have you use it.
00:55:38.07\00:55:39.43
It will still taste better,
you just follow my directions.
00:55:39.47\00:55:42.20
Yes, yes.
00:55:42.24\00:55:43.57
Okay, and the
last but not least,
00:55:43.61\00:55:45.74
we have the dates and we made
the dry fruit ladoo we call it.
00:55:45.77\00:55:50.21
But it's sweet but
it's natural sweet.
00:55:50.25\00:55:53.95
And you see how
easy it was to just form,
00:55:53.98\00:55:57.42
you know, a round ball there
00:55:57.45\00:55:59.89
and it's just delicious
00:55:59.92\00:56:02.02
but just a tad bit
of cardamom powder.
00:56:02.06\00:56:05.99
Nice, yes. And that
sweetness was great.
00:56:06.03\00:56:09.56
It just enhances
the flavor so much.
00:56:09.60\00:56:11.60
Have you always loved to cook?
00:56:11.63\00:56:13.34
Yes, I really enjoy
cooking and feeding people.
00:56:13.37\00:56:16.81
There's always
guests in my house.
00:56:16.84\00:56:18.77
I feed everybody
that comes to my house.
00:56:18.81\00:56:21.08
They never go without eating.
00:56:21.11\00:56:22.54
I bet your kids love
to come home, don't they?
00:56:22.58\00:56:24.18
Oh, yes. They do, they enjoy.
00:56:24.21\00:56:26.08
They want to
eat mommy's cooking.
00:56:26.11\00:56:27.58
They bring all their
friends and all that?
00:56:27.62\00:56:29.18
Oh, yes, absolutely.
00:56:29.22\00:56:30.75
Anybody, and a lot of
people are welcome to my house.
00:56:30.79\00:56:33.96
Yes. I love...
00:56:33.99\00:56:36.52
I cook but I love to eat
more than I like to cook.
00:56:36.56\00:56:39.83
So I am trying to
find that balance.
00:56:39.86\00:56:42.36
Well, you are welcome
to come to my home anytime.
00:56:42.40\00:56:44.73
