I want to spend my life
00:00:01.36\00:00:07.44
Mending broken people
00:00:07.50\00:00:12.41
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.44\00:00:18.61
Removing pain
00:00:18.65\00:00:23.65
Lord, let my words
00:00:23.69\00:00:29.86
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:29.89\00:00:34.50
I want to spend my life
00:00:34.56\00:00:40.00
Mending broken people
00:00:40.07\00:00:45.71
I want to spend my life
00:00:45.74\00:00:51.11
Mending broken people
00:00:51.15\00:00:54.48
Namaste. Namaste.
00:01:10.07\00:01:13.40
Hello and welcome to another
3ABN Today cooking program.
00:01:13.44\00:01:17.64
I'm Jill Morikone, and
I am delighted to be here
00:01:17.67\00:01:21.31
in the kitchen today
with a fabulous saree,
00:01:21.34\00:01:24.45
compliments of my
friend, Padma Medidi.
00:01:24.48\00:01:27.02
And, Padma, we are so happy
00:01:27.08\00:01:29.58
that you could come back
and share the wonderful gift
00:01:29.62\00:01:33.12
of cooking that
God has given to you.
00:01:33.15\00:01:35.19
Padma has been here before,
00:01:35.22\00:01:36.93
and we said she
has got to come back.
00:01:36.99\00:01:38.76
Number one, we just need
to eat that good food again.
00:01:38.79\00:01:40.66
Yes.
00:01:40.70\00:01:42.00
But number two, she
has a heart for ministry
00:01:42.03\00:01:44.53
and just the gift
that God's given to you.
00:01:44.57\00:01:46.50
So thank you so
much for coming back.
00:01:46.53\00:01:48.27
Oh, I'm delighted to be here,
00:01:48.30\00:01:49.80
and I thank 3ABN for
giving me this opportunity
00:01:49.84\00:01:52.87
to share my vegan, delicious,
tasty, Indian recipes.
00:01:52.91\00:01:57.11
I know, and they are fabulous.
00:01:57.18\00:01:59.05
You are from South
India, is that correct?
00:01:59.08\00:02:00.75
Yes, I am from South India.
00:02:00.82\00:02:02.42
And her husband came
with her today as well,
00:02:02.45\00:02:04.92
and he's a doctor.
00:02:04.95\00:02:07.06
You're putting him to
work though in the kitchen.
00:02:07.09\00:02:08.69
Yes.
00:02:08.72\00:02:10.16
I know he's a
family practitioner.
00:02:10.23\00:02:12.26
He's the medical
director of Suncoast.
00:02:12.29\00:02:14.83
But he says, "Oh, I have
to do what the boss says."
00:02:14.83\00:02:20.97
And in addition, you
brought a friend, Josie.
00:02:21.00\00:02:23.07
Yes, Josette is
here helping as it,
00:02:23.10\00:02:24.94
I'm so grateful for her.
00:02:24.97\00:02:26.57
And we had to drive a long way,
00:02:26.64\00:02:27.98
so it's really helped for
us to have Josette with us.
00:02:28.01\00:02:31.25
Yes, that's a blessing.
00:02:31.28\00:02:32.61
So tell me a little bit about
00:02:32.65\00:02:33.98
the progression
in your ministry.
00:02:34.02\00:02:35.35
What God has been doing?
00:02:35.38\00:02:36.75
I know the last
time you were here,
00:02:36.79\00:02:38.29
you were telling us
you were getting ready
00:02:38.32\00:02:39.72
to go to
Trinidad, I think it was,
00:02:39.75\00:02:41.99
Trinidad and
Tobago when you were doing
00:02:42.02\00:02:43.59
some cooking
classes or some stuff in TV.
00:02:43.63\00:02:45.59
Ministry, ministry
actually. So tell us about that?
00:02:45.63\00:02:47.76
Yes, I'm actually
very involved in church,
00:02:47.83\00:02:51.83
and I'm actually
one of the facilitators
00:02:51.87\00:02:54.37
for our CHIP program,
00:02:54.40\00:02:55.94
it's a Complete
Health Improvement Program.
00:02:55.97\00:02:57.97
Yes. So we're busy with that.
00:02:58.01\00:02:59.57
And I also do, I'm a facilitator
00:02:59.61\00:03:01.71
for depression and
anxiety program at church.
00:03:01.74\00:03:05.38
So very busy with that.
00:03:05.41\00:03:06.82
Ministry wise, we also travel
00:03:06.85\00:03:08.35
and go on two to
three mission trips,
00:03:08.38\00:03:11.15
medical mission trips,
me and my husband together.
00:03:11.19\00:03:13.36
Yes, 'cause you're a nurse.
00:03:13.39\00:03:14.72
So then, that's a great teamwork
00:03:14.76\00:03:16.29
to be able to
go out and do that.
00:03:16.32\00:03:17.66
Exactly, my husband, you
know, does such a wonderful job,
00:03:17.69\00:03:20.83
you know, seeing
patients and helping them,
00:03:20.90\00:03:22.63
taking care of
their medical needs.
00:03:22.66\00:03:24.87
And I'm there with the ladies,
but I told you last time,
00:03:24.90\00:03:28.00
I was going to Trinidad.
00:03:28.04\00:03:29.37
See, so tell us what
happened? And guess what?
00:03:29.40\00:03:31.11
We did go to Trinidad.
00:03:31.14\00:03:32.47
The pastor there invited us,
00:03:32.51\00:03:33.84
and we had a
fabulous time there.
00:03:33.88\00:03:36.64
And I did actually,
recorded several shows
00:03:36.71\00:03:40.68
for the Indian
cooking part of it,
00:03:40.72\00:03:42.65
and I did 17 recipes.
00:03:42.68\00:03:45.72
The Adventist Conference
there did the recording for us.
00:03:45.75\00:03:50.23
And I'm telling you the 3ABN,
00:03:50.29\00:03:52.53
really, really helped
me and taught me a lot.
00:03:52.56\00:03:55.76
So I've learned a lot,
00:03:55.80\00:03:57.13
I was able to
function there by myself.
00:03:57.20\00:03:59.63
'Cause your husband
wasn't able to come.
00:03:59.67\00:04:01.07
And so you had
nobody in the kitchen,
00:04:01.10\00:04:02.87
so you're preparing 17 recipes
00:04:02.90\00:04:05.54
and showing the
viewers how to make.
00:04:05.57\00:04:08.11
And we did it over a period
of four weeks so six days.
00:04:08.14\00:04:11.78
You know, we were
recording all that.
00:04:11.81\00:04:13.15
So it went very
well, it was really great.
00:04:13.18\00:04:16.12
And last year,
we went to Guyana.
00:04:16.15\00:04:20.46
It was 2016 that
we went to Trinidad,
00:04:20.49\00:04:22.69
but last year we went to Guyana.
00:04:22.72\00:04:24.69
And I did a
cooking segment for them
00:04:24.73\00:04:26.43
on their
national television too,
00:04:26.46\00:04:28.43
so it was very nice.
00:04:28.46\00:04:30.37
And we have an invitation
to go to South Africa.
00:04:30.43\00:04:34.37
They contacted us to come there
and help with the ministry.
00:04:34.40\00:04:38.11
So I'm really excited, you know,
00:04:38.14\00:04:40.78
we're just willing to
go where the Lord leads us.
00:04:40.84\00:04:43.18
Yeah, you know,
what I see, Padma,
00:04:43.21\00:04:44.81
as I see God opening up
doors for your ministry.
00:04:44.85\00:04:48.35
And God growing the
ministry that He's given to you.
00:04:48.38\00:04:51.49
You know, she has a
great gift for cooking.
00:04:51.52\00:04:55.36
I can attest to that
because I've eaten her food
00:04:55.39\00:04:57.59
and it's fabulous.
00:04:57.63\00:04:58.96
But not only that, it's
plant based, it's vegan,
00:04:58.99\00:05:01.03
it's taking these Indian recipes
00:05:01.06\00:05:02.80
and making them plant based,
00:05:02.83\00:05:04.33
and then sharing that
with people all over the world.
00:05:04.37\00:05:07.44
So praise the
Lord, what He is doing
00:05:07.47\00:05:10.14
with your
ministry and your website,
00:05:10.21\00:05:11.74
let's give your website.
00:05:11.77\00:05:13.11
I know, several times
throughout the program,
00:05:13.14\00:05:14.48
we will give her
website and contact information
00:05:14.51\00:05:17.45
so you can contact
Padma for yourself.
00:05:17.48\00:05:19.18
But what's your website?
It's SweetSoothingMusic.com.
00:05:19.21\00:05:22.55
SweetSoothingMusic.com.
00:05:22.58\00:05:24.02
Now that seems to have nothing
at all to do with cooking
00:05:24.09\00:05:26.15
so that tells me
then what you do to me.
00:05:26.19\00:05:28.26
That I sing too. Yes. Okay.
00:05:28.29\00:05:31.13
So when I went to
Trinidad and Guyana,
00:05:31.16\00:05:33.60
they had meetings
going on in the evenings.
00:05:33.63\00:05:35.93
So I would be
singing in the evenings
00:05:35.96\00:05:37.90
and doing cooking
classes in the morning time
00:05:37.93\00:05:39.93
with the ladies and everything,
00:05:40.00\00:05:41.34
while my husband
was seeing patients.
00:05:41.37\00:05:43.37
So we are a great team together.
00:05:43.41\00:05:45.11
Ain't that a
blessing? Amen. Yes.
00:05:45.14\00:05:47.54
Today, we are
doing Indian cuisine.
00:05:47.58\00:05:49.88
And this is all
vegan, vegetarian.
00:05:49.91\00:05:52.68
Let's take a
look at those recipes.
00:05:52.71\00:05:54.28
We're going to make
a veggie meat biryani.
00:05:54.32\00:05:56.65
Yes. Yes. We're making biryani.
00:05:56.69\00:05:58.49
Yummy, I can't wait to try that
00:05:58.52\00:06:00.62
and a mushroom and cashew curry.
00:06:00.69\00:06:03.06
To me, that's authentic Indian,
00:06:03.09\00:06:04.69
you have to have
some sort of curry.
00:06:04.73\00:06:06.59
Sauteed beets.
Yes, you'll love that.
00:06:06.63\00:06:09.56
Ooh! Sauteed kale and coconut.
00:06:09.60\00:06:12.07
Now I'm going to like
that. I like kale, yummy.
00:06:12.10\00:06:15.27
Red lentil dal. Ooh! Yes.
00:06:15.30\00:06:18.07
Nice.
00:06:18.11\00:06:19.44
And a little dessert to end
things up with, a mango lassi.
00:06:19.47\00:06:22.61
Yes. I love that.
00:06:22.64\00:06:24.55
You're going to
love all these recipes.
00:06:24.58\00:06:26.41
Oh, yeah, I'm ready to eat.
00:06:26.45\00:06:27.95
Now let's read our
first recipe for the biryani.
00:06:27.98\00:06:31.75
Let's read that.
00:06:31.79\00:06:33.12
Now we've never
made biryani here.
00:07:24.47\00:07:26.44
No. Have you even ever made?
00:07:26.47\00:07:27.81
One of your 3ABN
viewers called me and asked me
00:07:27.84\00:07:29.81
if I can show biryani
00:07:29.84\00:07:31.35
because it's just really
amazing flavors going there.
00:07:31.38\00:07:35.15
It's a little complicated
but if they don't have
00:07:35.18\00:07:37.19
all the ingredients, it's okay.
00:07:37.22\00:07:39.25
We can first
start off with the oil.
00:07:39.29\00:07:41.12
Now, would you make biryani
for special occasions or...?
00:07:41.16\00:07:43.86
Yes. Okay.
00:07:43.93\00:07:45.26
It's only very special.
So this is a fancy dish.
00:07:45.29\00:07:46.63
Yes, absolutely,
it's a little fancy dish.
00:07:46.66\00:07:49.20
So now that we
put the oil in there.
00:07:49.23\00:07:52.43
First, we do all
the dry ingredients.
00:07:52.47\00:07:55.14
Okay, so we just
add the cardamom...
00:07:55.17\00:07:58.51
Nice.
00:07:58.54\00:07:59.87
Cloves, cinnamon...
00:07:59.91\00:08:04.41
Just put in the stick, yeah.
00:08:04.45\00:08:07.65
And the star. I love that.
00:08:07.68\00:08:10.42
The star, the
anise, that's great.
00:08:10.45\00:08:12.15
With the bay leaves.
00:08:12.19\00:08:15.39
You can just stir a little bit.
00:08:15.42\00:08:18.63
Just a quick stir.
The oil is nice and hot.
00:08:18.66\00:08:22.56
Nice.
00:08:22.60\00:08:23.97
With that, we can put some...
00:08:24.00\00:08:25.53
The wet ingredients come now.
00:08:25.57\00:08:27.70
Do you use a
certain type of oil?
00:08:27.74\00:08:29.87
I used olive
oil but it's pomace.
00:08:29.90\00:08:32.37
P-O-M-A-C-E,
that's the olive oil.
00:08:32.41\00:08:34.78
Okay.
00:08:34.81\00:08:36.14
That we can use because
00:08:36.18\00:08:37.91
when I cook the
temperatures have to be hot,
00:08:37.95\00:08:40.62
and you can't really
heat the other olive oil
00:08:40.65\00:08:43.05
that high.
00:08:43.08\00:08:44.42
Right. Okay. You know.
00:08:44.45\00:08:45.79
So they said
pomace, P-O-M-A-C-E,
00:08:45.82\00:08:47.39
if they can remember that?
00:08:47.46\00:08:48.79
P-O-M-A-C-E. Yeah.
00:08:48.82\00:08:50.16
That's olive oil. Good.
00:08:50.19\00:08:52.19
So we just... Nice.
00:08:52.23\00:08:54.10
Put the onions... Oh,
it smells good already.
00:08:54.10\00:08:56.40
And green chilies.
00:08:56.43\00:09:00.50
You just stir this.
00:09:00.57\00:09:02.47
We'll pretend they are brown.
00:09:02.50\00:09:05.44
I've been doing
this for a while.
00:09:05.47\00:09:07.34
So you know all
about television,
00:09:07.41\00:09:09.14
but normally you would
wait till it starts to brown.
00:09:09.18\00:09:10.98
Exactly.
00:09:11.01\00:09:12.35
Okay, it has to be light brown.
00:09:12.38\00:09:14.65
You want the onions to
saute, nicely translucent.
00:09:14.68\00:09:17.62
Oh, yes. Okay.
00:09:17.65\00:09:19.25
And now I'm going to
put the ginger garlic paste.
00:09:19.29\00:09:23.22
Now, how can people
make ginger garlic paste?
00:09:23.26\00:09:25.19
It's equal amounts
of ginger and garlic.
00:09:25.23\00:09:27.50
Okay.
00:09:27.56\00:09:28.86
And you just put a
little water and blend it.
00:09:28.90\00:09:30.87
Oh, that's it. Yeah.
00:09:30.90\00:09:32.23
And I make a
little bit and keep it
00:09:32.27\00:09:33.77
for a week or two or
three, or you can freeze it too.
00:09:33.84\00:09:37.04
And then you can just
take a cube or two and use it.
00:09:37.11\00:09:39.47
Nice, I like that.
00:09:39.51\00:09:41.68
Now when you do the
ginger garlic paste,
00:09:41.71\00:09:43.14
you just have to fry it
00:09:43.18\00:09:44.78
till the raw
smell, kind of, goes.
00:09:44.81\00:09:46.55
You know, you don't
want it smelling raw.
00:09:46.58\00:09:51.95
It's wonderful.
00:09:51.99\00:09:53.36
Okay, and now I'm going
to just add the ingredients.
00:09:53.39\00:09:58.13
I don't want to
put the curry powder
00:09:58.16\00:09:59.49
because everybody will starts...
00:09:59.53\00:10:02.40
I'm going to slow this down.
00:10:02.43\00:10:04.90
Turmeric, a little turmeric,
00:10:04.93\00:10:08.17
cumin and
coriander powder together.
00:10:08.20\00:10:10.94
Now, why are you using the
powder now instead of seeds?
00:10:10.97\00:10:13.07
This is biryani so
we have to use powders.
00:10:13.11\00:10:17.41
The quick stir. And
that's tradition or...?
00:10:17.45\00:10:19.15
Yes. Okay.
00:10:19.18\00:10:20.52
A quick stir, and I'm
going to put this mixture,
00:10:20.58\00:10:22.15
I'll tell you about the mixture.
00:10:22.18\00:10:23.55
Now that mixture
is red bell peppers.
00:10:27.22\00:10:30.49
Okay.
00:10:30.53\00:10:31.86
Onions, one green
chilly, and tomato.
00:10:31.89\00:10:35.13
Is it red bell
pepper or green bell pepper?
00:10:35.16\00:10:36.80
Sorry, green bell pepper. I
was going say it looks green.
00:10:36.83\00:10:39.03
No, no. I meant to say... Okay.
00:10:39.07\00:10:41.00
I meant to say
green bell pepper.
00:10:41.04\00:10:44.44
Now we need to...
00:10:44.47\00:10:46.14
So you just took
all those ingredients,
00:10:46.17\00:10:47.54
and you blended them in blender.
00:10:47.58\00:10:49.04
Yes, that's all.
00:10:49.08\00:10:50.41
If they follow the
directions that I gave,
00:10:50.48\00:10:53.11
they can absolutely see that.
00:10:53.15\00:10:55.12
Now this, we must
allow that to cook
00:10:55.15\00:10:58.72
because it's going
to take a little while
00:10:58.75\00:11:00.76
for the green peppers and
everything to kind of saute.
00:11:00.79\00:11:03.96
And you will see that just
as it's cooking a little bit,
00:11:04.03\00:11:07.60
then we can add our veggie meat.
00:11:07.66\00:11:14.00
But I will let it cook
for a little bit, okay?
00:11:14.04\00:11:18.07
And then, we add
the veggie meat biryani,
00:11:18.11\00:11:20.18
maybe let's say like
two to three minutes,
00:11:20.24\00:11:22.31
and then you
add the veggie meat.
00:11:22.34\00:11:24.38
And then when you
add the veggie meat,
00:11:24.41\00:11:26.05
it'll just absorb all the
spices it has cardamom and,
00:11:26.08\00:11:29.78
you know, all these spices
that we just put, the cloves,
00:11:29.82\00:11:33.82
and the coriander
powder, the cumin powder.
00:11:33.86\00:11:36.83
All that's in there
now including, you know,
00:11:36.89\00:11:39.96
the curry powder,
everything is in there.
00:11:40.00\00:11:41.80
Yeah. So now do you see that?
00:11:41.83\00:11:44.00
Oh, I do.
00:11:44.03\00:11:45.90
Nicely
simmering... It's boiling.
00:11:45.93\00:11:47.70
Yeah.
00:11:47.74\00:11:49.07
But we just need to cook
00:11:49.10\00:11:50.44
that just for like
two to three minutes.
00:11:50.47\00:11:53.31
We'll just pretend that we
did and now I'm going to add.
00:11:53.34\00:11:58.75
Now this is, you are using
00:11:58.78\00:12:00.22
textured
vegetable protein or...?
00:12:00.25\00:12:01.92
Yeah, this is just
a regular veggie meat
00:12:01.95\00:12:03.79
that we get in
our Adventist store.
00:12:03.82\00:12:06.96
Now, if you want to try
a fri-chick at this point,
00:12:06.99\00:12:11.36
you would, you
know, use fri-chick.
00:12:11.39\00:12:14.10
And if you want to try
it with, maybe mushrooms.
00:12:14.20\00:12:18.50
Just nicely chopped.
00:12:18.53\00:12:20.40
You mean mushrooms in
the place of the veggie meat.
00:12:20.44\00:12:22.27
Exactly. Then I said...
00:12:22.30\00:12:24.54
Even in the place
of the veggie meat,
00:12:24.57\00:12:26.04
you can also do
fri-chick instead of this
00:12:26.07\00:12:29.34
or you can also do mushrooms,
it will also absorb taste,
00:12:29.38\00:12:32.38
it has like a very
nice meaty texture,
00:12:32.41\00:12:34.45
the mushrooms will
also taste very nice.
00:12:34.48\00:12:36.85
You just follow the directions
00:12:36.89\00:12:38.52
and then
substitute whatever you want
00:12:38.55\00:12:40.12
to put in the biryani,
anything, it would be amazing.
00:12:40.16\00:12:43.22
Wow! Good. Yes.
00:12:43.26\00:12:44.59
I'm sure 'cause
anything she makes is amazing.
00:12:44.63\00:12:46.59
Thank you.
00:12:46.66\00:12:47.96
So I have full
confidence in your cooking.
00:12:48.00\00:12:50.43
That's great. I like options.
00:12:50.50\00:12:52.00
You know, we need options. Yes.
00:12:52.03\00:12:53.37
Sometimes you say,
"Well, I can't get that at home
00:12:53.40\00:12:55.47
or in the country I live
in, I would have difficulty
00:12:55.50\00:12:58.77
going to the local
market and getting that."
00:12:58.81\00:13:00.58
But you could try mushrooms
or you could try something else
00:13:00.61\00:13:03.18
so that's a nice thing.
00:13:03.21\00:13:04.55
Yes.
00:13:04.58\00:13:05.91
So normally, I
would allow this to cook
00:13:05.95\00:13:09.85
at least for 10
minutes because...
00:13:09.88\00:13:12.25
A while then.
00:13:12.29\00:13:13.66
Yes, because that
veggie meat has to absorb
00:13:13.69\00:13:16.93
and really cook it.
00:13:16.96\00:13:18.86
So you're actually cooking down.
00:13:18.89\00:13:21.56
So when you see, you know,
00:13:21.60\00:13:23.47
all that gravy
kind of getting thicker,
00:13:23.53\00:13:25.87
and you see the
oil kind of coming up,
00:13:25.90\00:13:28.30
then you know that
it's actually done.
00:13:28.34\00:13:30.37
Okay. Okay.
00:13:30.41\00:13:31.74
So once, you
know, now I know that
00:13:31.77\00:13:34.24
we can't wait for the
whole thing to finish.
00:13:34.28\00:13:37.05
So we're just
going to pretend, and...
00:13:37.11\00:13:40.62
Ten minutes is up and
this is becoming fake,
00:13:40.68\00:13:42.95
and the oil's coming up.
00:13:42.98\00:13:44.39
Okay. Yeah.
00:13:44.42\00:13:45.75
And I'm going to add...
00:13:45.79\00:13:47.69
Sure, it smells good. Water.
00:13:47.72\00:13:51.09
Now, for the basmati rice,
00:13:51.13\00:13:52.73
I added two and a
half cups of basmati rice,
00:13:52.76\00:13:55.76
so for that we need to add
four and a half cups of water.
00:13:55.80\00:13:58.33
So I'm just going
to... Just pour it.
00:13:58.37\00:13:59.70
Yes, I'm just
going to pour the water.
00:13:59.73\00:14:04.11
Nice. I got it.
00:14:04.14\00:14:05.77
Now you use white
or brown basmati rice?
00:14:08.94\00:14:11.61
Well, traditionally, in India,
00:14:11.65\00:14:13.11
we use, you know,
the white basmati,
00:14:13.15\00:14:14.92
but you can do it
with brown basmati rice,
00:14:14.95\00:14:17.19
you can do it with any rice
00:14:17.22\00:14:19.25
that you want to
experiment it with.
00:14:19.29\00:14:20.86
You know,
whatever they're used to,
00:14:20.89\00:14:22.52
but basmati is better
either brown or white.
00:14:22.56\00:14:25.13
But basmati is,
you know, for biryanis.
00:14:25.16\00:14:28.03
So is basmati for
all the Indian dishes
00:14:28.06\00:14:30.73
you'd use basmati,
or just for biryani
00:14:30.77\00:14:32.93
you would want to use basmati?
00:14:32.97\00:14:34.30
Biryanis and like I
showed once, veggie pulao,
00:14:34.34\00:14:37.37
the special dishes that we use.
00:14:37.41\00:14:38.81
We don't use
basmati for everything.
00:14:38.84\00:14:40.74
For it's not a
daily stuff. No, no.
00:14:40.78\00:14:42.61
Okay. It's not.
00:14:42.64\00:14:44.01
So now in this, I
would add some salts.
00:14:44.05\00:14:46.68
Oh, yeah.
00:14:46.72\00:14:48.05
We need some salt for
taste and some lime juice.
00:14:48.08\00:14:53.76
Oh, yummy. Guess
what, this is the key.
00:14:53.82\00:14:56.42
Fresh. This is the key.
00:14:56.46\00:14:58.63
I believe it.
00:14:58.66\00:15:00.06
Yes, and once you allow
00:15:00.13\00:15:05.50
the meat to cook
with the lime juice.
00:15:05.53\00:15:09.94
Oh, so you would put this in
before the rice is added then?
00:15:10.01\00:15:13.41
Yeah, so now the
water has to start boiling.
00:15:13.48\00:15:16.04
Did it just shut
off? Yeah, sorry.
00:15:16.08\00:15:18.38
We need to get our flame going.
00:15:18.41\00:15:20.12
So once the
water starts boiling,
00:15:20.15\00:15:23.59
then I'll add the rice, okay?
00:15:23.62\00:15:27.16
So let me just tell you
the procedure kind of...
00:15:27.19\00:15:28.82
Perfect.
00:15:28.86\00:15:30.23
So now as the
water comes to a boil,
00:15:30.26\00:15:32.63
then we'll add the rice,
00:15:32.66\00:15:34.93
and we'll let the rice cook
00:15:34.93\00:15:37.13
till almost everything
all the water is evaporated.
00:15:37.17\00:15:40.20
And then you see...
00:15:40.24\00:15:41.57
But the rice is
not quite cooked,
00:15:41.60\00:15:43.61
so we put it in a tray...
00:15:43.67\00:15:45.64
Like a glass baking dish.
00:15:45.67\00:15:47.04
That the glass,
yes, glass baking dish,
00:15:47.08\00:15:49.18
we'll take the
rice, put it in there,
00:15:49.21\00:15:51.11
cover it with foil
and put it in 350 degrees
00:15:51.15\00:15:54.32
for half an hour.
00:15:54.35\00:15:55.78
And it'll be perfect. Wonderful.
00:15:55.82\00:15:59.69
And we have a
perfect one finished here.
00:15:59.72\00:16:01.86
Yeah, I have to...
00:16:01.89\00:16:03.22
I'm going to just add the rice.
00:16:03.26\00:16:04.59
The rice? Okay.
00:16:04.63\00:16:06.73
And then, we'll look
at the finished product,
00:16:06.76\00:16:08.16
and then I get to try some.
00:16:08.20\00:16:09.53
Yes.
00:16:09.56\00:16:13.00
That's great. I love this.
00:16:13.03\00:16:16.07
So do you make
this at your church?
00:16:16.10\00:16:18.87
Yes, sometimes. For
any special occasions?
00:16:18.91\00:16:20.91
But my church is so
spoilt with my lime rice,
00:16:20.98\00:16:23.24
that's what they
want all the time.
00:16:23.28\00:16:24.61
Oh, so a different rice?
00:16:24.65\00:16:26.65
Lime rice, I did it
already here, once before.
00:16:26.72\00:16:29.55
So if they go to my website,
00:16:29.58\00:16:31.25
they can find the recipe for it.
00:16:31.29\00:16:32.62
All right, and the
website is soothing sound...
00:16:32.65\00:16:34.72
SweetSoothingMusic.com.
00:16:34.76\00:16:36.83
SweetSoothingMusic.com.
00:16:36.86\00:16:39.53
Okay, look at
this, Jill. Oh, yeah.
00:16:39.56\00:16:41.43
See the rice but
we have to wait still,
00:16:41.46\00:16:44.50
you know, everything cooks,
but since we don't have time,
00:16:44.53\00:16:48.17
we're just
showing them the steps.
00:16:48.20\00:16:49.70
The rice would absorb,
00:16:49.74\00:16:51.07
then you would put it
in your glass baking dish.
00:16:51.11\00:16:53.07
Yes. Bake it for...
00:16:53.11\00:16:54.84
Oh, 30 minutes. Thirty minutes.
00:16:54.88\00:16:56.91
At 350 degrees. Okay.
00:16:56.95\00:16:58.71
Okay. And it comes out...
00:16:58.75\00:17:01.08
Just like this, ta-da!
00:17:01.12\00:17:03.28
Oh, I love it.
00:17:03.32\00:17:04.99
Very nice, with
the cilantro and the...
00:17:05.02\00:17:08.52
Everything it tastes so
00:17:08.56\00:17:09.89
because there's so huge
massive flavors, just the...
00:17:09.92\00:17:13.03
Yes. So flavorful dish.
00:17:13.06\00:17:15.73
If you try it, you
are going to love it.
00:17:15.76\00:17:18.23
I'm ready.
00:17:18.27\00:17:19.60
Can you see that
little sour? Little sourness?
00:17:25.61\00:17:30.08
Because usually
in a biryani dish,
00:17:30.15\00:17:31.68
they add yogurt
00:17:31.71\00:17:33.42
so because we are
substituting that for lime.
00:17:33.45\00:17:36.05
So the lime gives
such an amazing flavor.
00:17:36.08\00:17:38.85
This is exquisite.
00:17:38.89\00:17:40.26
I don't know any other
word to use to describe it
00:17:40.29\00:17:42.06
but the flavor is exquisite.
00:17:42.09\00:17:44.69
It's fabulous. Yes.
00:17:44.73\00:17:46.06
Just everything mixed together.
00:17:46.09\00:17:47.40
I can actually taste
the lime, just a hint.
00:17:47.50\00:17:48.90
Just a hint. But
just a hint of that.
00:17:48.93\00:17:50.27
That's really good.
00:17:50.33\00:17:51.67
It's not too much, but
you just need that little
00:17:51.70\00:17:53.13
lime taste to give that
little sourness, you know,
00:17:53.17\00:17:56.30
to the rice, but it's very...
00:17:56.34\00:17:59.94
I'm ready to eat another bite.
00:18:00.04\00:18:01.58
This is wonderful.
00:18:01.61\00:18:02.94
Let's go to our next
recipe and read that.
00:18:02.98\00:18:05.78
We are making curry next. Yes.
00:18:05.81\00:18:07.68
You want to read that
for us? Yes, absolutely.
00:18:07.72\00:18:10.52
It's vegan
mushroom and cashew curry...
00:18:10.55\00:18:12.55
Yummy, I'm already hungry,
you just reading that recipe.
00:18:55.50\00:18:58.33
I really like curry. Yes, curry.
00:18:58.37\00:19:01.30
I'm telling you, it has such
amazing flavors in the curry.
00:19:01.34\00:19:05.77
Now to get started,
we'll just put some oil.
00:19:05.81\00:19:08.64
And this is our
special olive oil again?
00:19:08.68\00:19:10.68
Special, pomace olive oil. Good.
00:19:10.71\00:19:13.95
And, you know, the first
ingredient, mustard seeds.
00:19:13.98\00:19:17.42
Yes.
00:19:17.45\00:19:18.79
We want that to be
popping all the time,
00:19:18.82\00:19:21.02
you know, so it's nice.
00:19:21.06\00:19:23.09
Do you do mustard seeds in
every Indian dish, you think?
00:19:23.12\00:19:24.93
No. No, you don't.
00:19:24.96\00:19:26.33
There are only
certain dishes that we do it.
00:19:26.36\00:19:28.43
But every curry has to
have start with mustard seeds.
00:19:28.46\00:19:30.80
Well, if you do use mustards,
then start it with mustards.
00:19:30.87\00:19:33.84
Okay, all right. Then
there's the cumin seeds.
00:19:33.87\00:19:37.21
Now what's the difference
in flavor versus the seeds
00:19:37.24\00:19:40.18
or the powder?
00:19:40.21\00:19:41.54
Like, if I'm at home, and I say,
00:19:41.58\00:19:42.91
"Well, I just have the powder,"
what would be the difference?
00:19:42.94\00:19:45.38
Is it really important to
make sure I have the seeds?
00:19:45.41\00:19:50.22
It's just, we use
it that way in India
00:19:50.29\00:19:52.59
so you can try
anyway that's what I tell.
00:19:52.62\00:19:55.09
This is not like a recipe
00:19:55.12\00:19:56.46
where you have to do
just the way I give it.
00:19:56.49\00:19:59.59
You know, you
can try other ways...
00:19:59.63\00:20:01.40
But you are an
expert so I wanted to know
00:20:01.43\00:20:03.57
from the expert.
00:20:03.63\00:20:04.97
Yes, but I would do it that way.
00:20:05.00\00:20:06.33
Okay. The way I prefer that way.
00:20:06.37\00:20:07.70
It gives different flavor there.
00:20:07.74\00:20:09.07
Exactly. So
here's the onions. Okay.
00:20:09.10\00:20:10.94
Now we'll just saute it
so we'll just put the onions.
00:20:10.97\00:20:14.74
Nice.
00:20:14.78\00:20:18.55
So you want the seeds to
pop before you add the onions?
00:20:18.58\00:20:21.62
Yeah. They start to...
00:20:21.65\00:20:23.22
The mustard seeds and the cumin
00:20:23.25\00:20:25.29
because the aroma is so...
00:20:25.32\00:20:27.02
Yes. It's
fabulous. Just beautiful.
00:20:27.06\00:20:29.72
Yes, and just a
little green chilies.
00:20:29.76\00:20:32.86
We got to have a little kick.
00:20:32.89\00:20:34.23
Yeah, or else it's not Indian.
00:20:34.30\00:20:38.13
Now you and your husband
both from South India or...?
00:20:38.17\00:20:40.37
Yes, we are from down
south, so we really make it hot.
00:20:40.40\00:20:43.94
You like it spicy.
00:20:43.97\00:20:45.57
Very, very hot and spicy,
00:20:45.61\00:20:47.41
but I make these
recipes very mild
00:20:47.44\00:20:51.98
so everybody can enjoy.
00:20:52.01\00:20:53.35
Thank you, and we
certainly appreciate that.
00:20:53.38\00:20:56.35
So now we'll pretend that
the onions are nice and brown.
00:20:56.38\00:21:00.46
Okay.
00:21:00.49\00:21:01.82
And then, of
course, ginger garlic paste.
00:21:01.86\00:21:03.93
Yes.
00:21:03.96\00:21:05.59
And you said
that was equal parts,
00:21:05.63\00:21:07.00
ginger and garlic.
00:21:07.03\00:21:08.33
Equal parts.
00:21:08.36\00:21:09.70
Ginger garlic with just a
little water we can blend.
00:21:09.73\00:21:11.07
Just to blend it. Yes.
00:21:11.10\00:21:12.43
Okay. And you can keep it...
00:21:12.47\00:21:13.80
It'll keep for week to
two or you can freeze it.
00:21:13.84\00:21:16.07
So you just saute that
00:21:16.10\00:21:17.47
till the ginger
smell kind of goes away.
00:21:17.51\00:21:20.48
Good.
00:21:20.54\00:21:22.41
It's starting to brown
a little bit the onions,
00:21:22.44\00:21:23.81
I can see it.
00:21:23.85\00:21:25.18
Yes. And now I'm
adding the tomato paste.
00:21:25.21\00:21:28.75
You just took fresh
tomatoes and pureed it?
00:21:28.78\00:21:30.85
That's it. Okay.
00:21:30.89\00:21:32.42
I don't like to use cans.
00:21:32.45\00:21:33.82
Yeah.
00:21:33.86\00:21:36.12
There's a lot of
additives in canned foods.
00:21:36.16\00:21:38.13
Yes.
00:21:38.16\00:21:39.49
Now we are going to just let
that simmer just a little bit
00:21:39.53\00:21:45.90
because you want that raw,
00:21:45.93\00:21:48.34
you know, smell and
the taste of tomatoes,
00:21:48.37\00:21:50.87
maybe I would say
two to three minutes,
00:21:50.91\00:21:53.64
and then I'm going to
add the dry ingredients.
00:21:53.71\00:21:58.35
Okay, I'm going to add my curry
powder and the, you know...
00:21:58.38\00:22:02.55
This is garam masala.
00:22:02.58\00:22:04.29
So what is garam masala?
00:22:04.32\00:22:06.05
That's cloves, cardamom, cumin
00:22:06.09\00:22:11.46
all these
powders mixed together.
00:22:11.49\00:22:14.46
So it's just a little bit
of cinnamon, cloves, cardamom,
00:22:14.50\00:22:18.83
you know, and all
those things just,
00:22:18.87\00:22:21.10
you know, it's
proportion is the trick.
00:22:21.14\00:22:24.51
Yeah, you should know
how much to put for that.
00:22:24.54\00:22:26.14
Yes. Do you make
your own garam masala?
00:22:26.17\00:22:27.68
I make my own. Yes.
00:22:27.71\00:22:29.04
Oh, wonderful.
00:22:29.08\00:22:30.45
Do you see that simmering? I do.
00:22:30.51\00:22:31.88
Oh, yeah.
00:22:31.91\00:22:33.25
I love it.
00:22:33.28\00:22:34.62
So, you know, we
would just let it cook,
00:22:34.65\00:22:36.28
just a little bit
00:22:36.32\00:22:37.65
but we'll
pretend that it's cooked.
00:22:37.69\00:22:39.19
Okay, it's very nice.
00:22:39.22\00:22:41.59
Yes. And now I'm
going to add the turmeric.
00:22:41.62\00:22:45.33
I think it's a good color.
00:22:45.36\00:22:46.70
And the garam
masala, and the curry powder.
00:22:46.76\00:22:52.03
There quick stir, I know
everybody will start coughing.
00:22:52.07\00:22:57.94
I'm going to put the
mushrooms and the cashews.
00:22:57.97\00:23:03.68
Nice. These are halves.
00:23:03.75\00:23:05.78
And if you put it... Yes. Okay.
00:23:05.81\00:23:07.42
And you just put it,
like in a little bit,
00:23:07.45\00:23:11.72
put it on a low
heat, the water will come,
00:23:11.75\00:23:15.16
but I just like to add and
make it a little bit gravy.
00:23:15.19\00:23:18.39
So I would just add
a little bit of water,
00:23:18.43\00:23:20.80
just a half a cup of water.
00:23:20.83\00:23:24.03
And then, let the
mushroom start to cook down?
00:23:24.07\00:23:25.93
Yes. Yeah.
00:23:25.97\00:23:28.74
Nice.
00:23:28.77\00:23:30.57
And there you see that.
00:23:30.61\00:23:32.34
Now this picture,
you need to let it
00:23:32.37\00:23:34.91
really, really cook down.
00:23:34.94\00:23:36.91
And I forgot to
add a little salt.
00:23:36.95\00:23:38.75
It's important?
00:23:38.78\00:23:40.12
It's very, very important
00:23:40.18\00:23:41.75
because we would
not taste much...
00:23:41.78\00:23:43.65
Yes.
00:23:43.69\00:23:45.02
If you don't have the salt.
00:23:45.05\00:23:46.72
But you just need to
mix all these ingredients
00:23:46.76\00:23:50.63
and let it cook
and cook it down.
00:23:50.69\00:23:54.86
You know, you will
see the water will come
00:23:54.93\00:23:57.53
if you put the lid on.
00:23:57.57\00:23:59.33
That's right.
00:23:59.37\00:24:00.94
Otherwise it just evaporates,
everything evaporates.
00:24:00.97\00:24:03.00
Yes. So you need to
close it with the lid.
00:24:03.04\00:24:06.04
And I am telling you,
00:24:06.07\00:24:07.58
you have never ever
tasted mushrooms this tasty.
00:24:07.61\00:24:11.88
Really?
00:24:11.91\00:24:13.25
Yes, because
there's cashews in it,
00:24:13.28\00:24:15.32
and there's curry powder.
00:24:15.35\00:24:17.39
You know, when you use the,
00:24:17.42\00:24:19.09
you know, the curry
powder and the chilies and...
00:24:19.12\00:24:22.89
And garam masala, all of that...
00:24:22.92\00:24:24.46
Everything else.
00:24:24.49\00:24:25.83
The cumin, the mustard,
00:24:25.86\00:24:27.20
everything else
for the mushrooms,
00:24:27.23\00:24:29.20
it just takes it
to another level.
00:24:29.23\00:24:30.93
Wow. Yes.
00:24:30.97\00:24:32.30
And the
mushrooms are so healthy,
00:24:32.33\00:24:34.10
they're high in antioxidants,
00:24:34.14\00:24:36.67
they have so many
vitamins and minerals.
00:24:36.71\00:24:39.57
You know, so it's
really healthy for us
00:24:39.61\00:24:41.61
very, very low in
calories, and carbs,
00:24:41.64\00:24:44.61
and there's no fat virtually.
00:24:44.65\00:24:46.78
Zero fat, you
know? It's amazing.
00:24:46.82\00:24:49.18
Yeah, so, it's so
beneficial, but if you tasted,
00:24:49.22\00:24:53.42
you would say like,
"Wow, is this mushroom?"
00:24:53.46\00:24:56.69
Wow.
00:24:56.73\00:24:58.23
You know, I don't think you have
00:24:58.26\00:24:59.59
ever tasted mushrooms so tasty.
00:24:59.63\00:25:01.93
I don't think I have...
00:25:01.96\00:25:03.47
I made this at
home for my husband.
00:25:03.50\00:25:06.60
He just loved it.
00:25:06.63\00:25:09.00
Yes, he loved it, and
he wanted more and more,
00:25:09.04\00:25:11.54
he just loved
it, really, I think.
00:25:11.57\00:25:13.58
It's really, really
very flavorful dish.
00:25:13.61\00:25:16.54
And it's very, you
know, the mushrooms
00:25:16.58\00:25:18.98
are really dense in
nutrients, very, you know, rich.
00:25:19.01\00:25:23.42
How long do you cook it for?
00:25:23.49\00:25:25.02
Oh, this has to cook at
least for 10, 15 minutes.
00:25:25.05\00:25:27.89
So I know that
it's going to take...
00:25:27.92\00:25:29.26
See that.
00:25:29.29\00:25:30.63
Oh, yeah, you can see the liquid
00:25:30.66\00:25:31.99
starting to come out of it.
00:25:32.03\00:25:33.40
See that? Definitely.
00:25:33.43\00:25:34.73
Oh, yeah.
00:25:34.76\00:25:36.10
And it's already cooking down.
00:25:36.13\00:25:37.47
Yeah. You can see that too.
00:25:37.50\00:25:38.83
The mushrooms are
starting to cook down.
00:25:38.87\00:25:40.20
I put it on high. So we can...
00:25:40.24\00:25:41.84
We're trying to
facilitate this process.
00:25:41.87\00:25:43.20
We're trying, trying.
00:25:43.24\00:25:44.57
But you can see that
it's nicely coming together.
00:25:44.61\00:25:47.14
Of course. You know.
00:25:47.18\00:25:48.51
We have one that's
all finished over here.
00:25:48.54\00:25:50.75
I can see that really
cooked down over there.
00:25:50.81\00:25:53.11
Yeah. That's how it looks. Yeah.
00:25:53.15\00:25:55.08
Oh, that's fabulous.
00:25:55.12\00:25:56.45
So you can try a little bit.
00:25:56.48\00:25:57.99
I can, I got my little bowl
underneath the counter here.
00:25:58.02\00:26:03.56
I cannot wait to
try, I got to make sure,
00:26:03.59\00:26:04.99
I get a mushroom
in this to try this.
00:26:05.03\00:26:06.59
We have
transformed those mushrooms.
00:26:12.83\00:26:16.20
I don't think I
have... I agree with you.
00:26:16.24\00:26:18.01
I have never had a mushroom
00:26:18.04\00:26:20.11
that I like better
than this right here.
00:26:20.18\00:26:21.51
Yes.
00:26:21.54\00:26:22.88
I don't mind mushrooms,
00:26:22.91\00:26:24.25
it's not like I'm
opposed to mushrooms.
00:26:24.28\00:26:25.61
But that is fabulous.
Yes, it's just flavor.
00:26:25.65\00:26:28.45
It is. It's just flavor.
00:26:28.48\00:26:29.82
Oh, yes.
00:26:29.85\00:26:31.19
Such a depth of
flavor when you add all that,
00:26:31.22\00:26:34.62
it's just so tasty,
you want to just eat more.
00:26:34.66\00:26:37.83
I mean, you know,
people are not excited
00:26:37.86\00:26:39.39
to eat vegetables
00:26:39.43\00:26:40.80
but this is a very
nice way to prepare it
00:26:40.83\00:26:44.33
and nobody can refuse.
00:26:44.37\00:26:45.70
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
00:26:45.73\00:26:47.10
So what type of rice
do you serve curries over?
00:26:47.14\00:26:48.97
Is there a certain type
of rice or just any rice?
00:26:49.00\00:26:50.97
Just any rice.
00:26:51.01\00:26:52.34
You can have, you know, you can,
00:26:52.37\00:26:53.74
like I made the biryani,
00:26:53.78\00:26:55.11
you can eat this with biryani,
00:26:55.14\00:26:56.85
you know, in
combination with biryani.
00:26:56.91\00:26:59.31
We usually eat
curries with rice.
00:26:59.35\00:27:02.38
Or bread, like flat bread
or roti or something like that.
00:27:02.42\00:27:06.42
So all the
curries go with something.
00:27:06.45\00:27:08.16
Yes, they're not just
on them by themselves...
00:27:08.19\00:27:10.76
No, no.
00:27:10.79\00:27:12.13
You know, you would
eat it with something.
00:27:12.16\00:27:13.53
So I know we're going
to go to the next recipe,
00:27:13.56\00:27:14.86
but before we do
that I want to make sure
00:27:14.93\00:27:17.40
we put up your
contact information.
00:27:17.47\00:27:18.90
We're going to do it several
times throughout the program.
00:27:18.93\00:27:21.34
Many times we put a contact
up at the end of the program,
00:27:21.37\00:27:23.81
but today is a little different.
00:27:23.84\00:27:25.44

00:27:39.62\00:27:45.46
And what about
your phone number?
00:27:45.49\00:27:46.83
People want to call
you and contact you.
00:27:46.90\00:27:48.20
It's (813) 325-5783.
00:27:48.23\00:27:52.10
Okay, (813) 325-5783.
00:27:52.13\00:27:56.07
And you are available to come...
00:27:56.10\00:27:58.57
I know if people
have questions about this,
00:27:58.61\00:28:00.81
you're happy to...
00:28:00.84\00:28:02.18
Oh, absolutely, absolutely.
00:28:02.21\00:28:03.58
You know, and I
get a lot of calls.
00:28:03.61\00:28:05.01
They ask so many questions.
00:28:05.05\00:28:06.85
So sometimes if people do call,
00:28:06.88\00:28:08.55
and I'm unable to answer
because I'm on another call,
00:28:08.58\00:28:11.35
please do call back,
00:28:11.39\00:28:12.72
and I will answer
all their questions.
00:28:12.75\00:28:14.56
Amen. Absolutely.
00:28:14.59\00:28:15.96
And you also travel, you know.
00:28:15.99\00:28:17.56
Yes, we travel
quite a bit sometimes.
00:28:17.59\00:28:19.23
Yes. But they can email me.
00:28:19.26\00:28:21.50
And I always get back with them.
00:28:21.53\00:28:23.00
So I have people
contacting me from everywhere.
00:28:23.03\00:28:25.23
Amen.
00:28:25.27\00:28:26.60
All different countries,
00:28:26.63\00:28:27.97
you know, and they love
the food, and the dishes,
00:28:28.00\00:28:30.44
and the music, and
whatever it is that they want,
00:28:30.51\00:28:33.21
but I'm very excited.
00:28:33.24\00:28:35.08
Amen. We're
excited too. Absolutely.
00:28:35.11\00:28:36.95
Yes, He is just
using us as His vessels.
00:28:36.98\00:28:39.45
Amen. That's the best.
00:28:39.48\00:28:40.82
Let's go to our next recipe.
00:28:40.85\00:28:43.12
For the vegan sauteed beets.
00:28:43.15\00:28:45.49
Now this looks yummy...
00:28:45.52\00:28:46.86
So for the sauteed beets,
00:29:12.18\00:29:13.55
is that traditional
Indian to do sauteed beets?
00:29:13.58\00:29:16.85
Yeah, they do
sauteed, but anything we...
00:29:16.92\00:29:20.79
Any vegetable? Any vegetable.
00:29:20.82\00:29:23.06
But we add all the
Indian spices to it.
00:29:23.09\00:29:25.26
Yes.
00:29:25.29\00:29:26.63
That's what makes it special.
00:29:26.66\00:29:27.96
You know, I know
you just boil and eat.
00:29:28.00\00:29:29.66
But we...
00:29:29.70\00:29:32.50
You know, there is a
lot of truth in that.
00:29:32.53\00:29:34.30
You know, and how
traditional Americans,
00:29:34.34\00:29:36.14
we just boil and eat.
00:29:36.17\00:29:37.51
You were right.
00:29:37.54\00:29:38.87
But we don't, and actually,
these beets, I did boil.
00:29:38.91\00:29:40.81
Okay. We did boil.
00:29:40.88\00:29:42.61
And cut them into
a nice quarter size.
00:29:42.64\00:29:45.21
Nice. You know, pieces.
00:29:45.25\00:29:46.58
Yup.
00:29:46.61\00:29:47.95
So that's already done.
00:29:47.98\00:29:49.95
And if you can see
here, I also have the leaves.
00:29:49.98\00:29:52.19
I don't throw the
leaves, I love the beet leaves,
00:29:52.22\00:29:54.26
they have high
nutrition to them.
00:29:54.29\00:29:56.32
So now that we added the oil.
00:29:56.36\00:29:58.19
It's nice and warm.
00:29:58.23\00:29:59.56
We are going to
add the mustard seeds.
00:29:59.59\00:30:01.46
We need them. They
will start sputtering.
00:30:01.50\00:30:03.63
Yeah, I can't wait to...
00:30:03.67\00:30:05.00
I am going to listen for
them this time to hear them.
00:30:05.03\00:30:06.37
Hear.
00:30:06.40\00:30:07.74
Because they will start to
pop, don't they start to pop?
00:30:07.77\00:30:09.10
Yes.
00:30:09.14\00:30:11.04
Because the oil is
hot, you can see that.
00:30:11.07\00:30:14.14
Oh, I can see the oil is hot.
00:30:14.18\00:30:16.24
So wait just a moment
00:30:16.28\00:30:17.65
'cause I really want
to hear them pop here.
00:30:17.68\00:30:20.78
How long does it take to pop?
00:30:20.82\00:30:22.15
It's gonna to pop before
we add the wet ingredients,
00:30:22.18\00:30:24.79
you know, I like
to hear the popping
00:30:24.82\00:30:26.72
because that gives the flavor.
00:30:26.76\00:30:28.36
When they pop, that
means they are really,
00:30:28.39\00:30:31.36
you know, very well done.
00:30:31.39\00:30:34.30
Nice.
00:30:34.30\00:30:35.63
Oh, I hear it.
00:30:35.66\00:30:37.40
There is one.
00:30:37.43\00:30:39.60
Don't get too close because
they will come on your face.
00:30:39.63\00:30:42.70
I can hear it.
00:30:42.74\00:30:44.24
See the curry
leaves. That's great!
00:30:44.27\00:30:46.37
And the chilies. And the onions.
00:30:46.41\00:30:48.74
Almost like you are
starting to do popcorn.
00:30:48.78\00:30:53.11
But can you smell it? Oh, yeah.
00:30:53.15\00:30:54.98
What do you think
that is? The mustard.
00:30:55.02\00:30:58.99
That adds lot of flavor.
00:30:59.02\00:31:02.89
Smells fabulous.
00:31:02.92\00:31:04.33
Sorry.
00:31:04.36\00:31:05.69
It's a little too hot, so
just going to put it down.
00:31:05.73\00:31:08.46
You make that
just a little brown.
00:31:08.50\00:31:11.00
And now for this one
let's pretend that's brown,
00:31:11.03\00:31:14.97
and we are going
to add the leaves.
00:31:15.00\00:31:16.44
Nice. And these are already...
00:31:16.47\00:31:18.47
You already
chopped them. Absolutely.
00:31:18.51\00:31:21.14
See that my husband helped,
00:31:21.18\00:31:22.51
how beautifully they're chopped.
00:31:22.54\00:31:23.91
Yes. I could never do that.
00:31:23.95\00:31:25.28
He is the perfectionist.
Now he did a great job.
00:31:25.31\00:31:28.42
Special thanks to
you, Doctor Medidi.
00:31:28.45\00:31:30.65
Yeah.
00:31:30.69\00:31:32.02
And I am very thankful for him.
00:31:32.05\00:31:34.16
Oh, that's wonderful.
00:31:34.22\00:31:35.79
Now, I would just cook that
00:31:40.86\00:31:46.13
for three or five
minutes or whatever,
00:31:46.17\00:31:47.77
just for that, you know...
00:31:47.80\00:31:49.14
Kind of wilt. Yes,
yes, for the leaves.
00:31:49.17\00:31:51.87
And then, I would
add the tomato paste.
00:31:51.91\00:31:56.88
Because tomato kind of,
00:31:56.91\00:31:58.25
you know, it has
a nice taste to it.
00:31:58.28\00:31:59.61
It does.
00:31:59.65\00:32:01.05
So that's the reason why I...
00:32:01.08\00:32:02.88
But I like to puree my tomatoes.
00:32:02.92\00:32:05.65
You can chop and put them,
00:32:05.69\00:32:07.06
but I like it pureed
00:32:07.09\00:32:08.69
because it really actually
mixes together very well
00:32:08.72\00:32:11.69
with all the ingredients.
00:32:11.73\00:32:13.53
It's already starting
to wilt. I can see that.
00:32:13.60\00:32:14.93
Yeah, because
this cooks very fast.
00:32:14.93\00:32:16.26
Oh, yeah.
00:32:16.30\00:32:17.63
You know, it doesn't
take very long to cook.
00:32:17.67\00:32:19.43
So let's pretend
and add the tomato.
00:32:19.47\00:32:24.27
It's got a great
color to that tomato.
00:32:24.31\00:32:25.74
Yes.
00:32:25.77\00:32:27.14
Now, see that, you just have
to make sure you stir it well
00:32:27.18\00:32:33.48
and mix all the
ingredients beautifully.
00:32:33.52\00:32:36.75
Do you put the cover back on
00:32:36.79\00:32:38.12
and cook it some
more before the beets?
00:32:38.15\00:32:39.49
Yes, absolutely. Okay.
00:32:39.52\00:32:40.86
You know, I know we are
always pressed for time.
00:32:40.89\00:32:44.63
The leaves are really
high in calcium, aren't they?
00:32:44.66\00:32:46.96
Aren't the leaf, the
beet leaves good for you?
00:32:47.00\00:32:48.30
Yes, they are high in
iron more than spinach.
00:32:48.33\00:32:50.13
Iron? Nice.
00:32:50.20\00:32:51.53
More than spinach, the
beet leaves are higher.
00:32:51.57\00:32:53.87
And they also say,
00:32:53.90\00:32:55.30
you know, it helps and prevents
osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's.
00:32:55.34\00:32:59.94
There are so many
cardiovascular benefits
00:33:00.08\00:33:02.18
from the beets and
the beet leaves itself.
00:33:02.21\00:33:04.78
Wow!
00:33:04.81\00:33:06.15
Yeah. So they are just loaded.
00:33:06.18\00:33:09.45
And with my recipe that's going
to taste, you're like, "Wow!
00:33:09.48\00:33:13.76
This is beets?"
00:33:13.79\00:33:15.12
You will not believe it. Wow!
00:33:15.16\00:33:16.96
Because look, how
much I am putting in.
00:33:17.03\00:33:18.49
Did you ever put this in beets?
00:33:18.53\00:33:19.86
No, I never did.
00:33:19.89\00:33:21.20
Yeah.
00:33:21.23\00:33:22.56
So you will see the
difference when you,
00:33:22.60\00:33:24.47
you know, just try it.
00:33:24.50\00:33:25.83
And now I am
going to add the beets,
00:33:25.87\00:33:27.77
and then you add
the little salt to this.
00:33:27.80\00:33:30.01
Oh, yup.
00:33:30.07\00:33:33.38
And there you go.
00:33:33.44\00:33:34.78
Nice.
00:33:34.81\00:33:37.35
I have my
greens. I have the beets.
00:33:37.41\00:33:40.18
So you should see...
00:33:40.22\00:33:41.55
And you have the seeds,
and you have the seasonings,
00:33:41.58\00:33:44.25
and you have the
things that you would add to,
00:33:44.29\00:33:46.12
like, enhance the flavor
and to make it so much better.
00:33:46.15\00:33:48.86
Instead of as we
do, just boil beets.
00:33:48.89\00:33:51.43
And just to think
of the flavor in that,
00:33:51.46\00:33:54.60
I mean, that's
exciting. Exactly.
00:33:54.63\00:33:56.83
And I think it's a good way
00:33:56.90\00:33:58.23
to help your
family eat it as well,
00:33:58.27\00:34:00.27
you know, may be your
spouse or your kids say,
00:34:00.34\00:34:03.04
"Well, I don't really
want to eat vegetables."
00:34:03.07\00:34:04.74
But this is a
good way to get there.
00:34:04.77\00:34:06.11
Absolutely.
00:34:06.14\00:34:07.48
I am telling you
the beets, I made it,
00:34:07.51\00:34:08.84
you know, because I
am trying for this...
00:34:08.88\00:34:10.85
My husband is the
guinea pig, but he loved it.
00:34:10.88\00:34:14.35
My kids came over and they're
like, "Wow, we love the beets."
00:34:14.38\00:34:18.42
Just the flavor is so rich.
00:34:18.45\00:34:20.69
Yes, that's wonderful.
00:34:20.76\00:34:22.09
And in this I didn't
even used the curry powder.
00:34:22.12\00:34:24.93
This without the curry powder
00:34:24.96\00:34:26.39
but just those
little mustard seeds.
00:34:26.43\00:34:27.76
Yup.
00:34:27.76\00:34:29.10
How long does it
cook for with the beets
00:34:29.13\00:34:30.47
before we have
the final product?
00:34:30.53\00:34:31.87
Yeah.
00:34:31.90\00:34:33.23
You don't have to
let it cook that long.
00:34:33.27\00:34:34.94
You don't want to
overcook the beets.
00:34:34.97\00:34:37.07
So you like them a
little, you know, half cooked,
00:34:37.11\00:34:39.61
but it tastes great.
00:34:39.64\00:34:40.98
And I think this should be done,
00:34:41.01\00:34:42.34
and I will turn it
to off, so you can try.
00:34:42.38\00:34:43.71
Wonderful.
00:34:43.75\00:34:45.08
And you have one
that's finished over there.
00:34:45.11\00:34:46.45
It looks fabulous.
00:34:46.48\00:34:48.05
And I have my own
stash of beets under here.
00:34:48.08\00:34:52.12
Let me make sure, I
get a leaf in here too.
00:34:52.15\00:34:53.72
Can you believe that's beet?
I could eat the entire pot.
00:35:01.80\00:35:03.87
Yes, I know. Oh,
yeah. That's fabulous.
00:35:03.90\00:35:07.04
It's got a nice,
just a little kick.
00:35:07.07\00:35:09.27
Just a little bit.
00:35:09.30\00:35:10.84
Good flavor though. Yes.
00:35:10.91\00:35:12.44
But I can still taste the
beet though, just a little
00:35:12.47\00:35:15.01
but, oh, yeah, that's good.
00:35:15.04\00:35:17.38
I love this. Yes,
you should try it.
00:35:17.45\00:35:19.91
Try making it.
00:35:19.95\00:35:21.32
I will try this at
home even though my husband
00:35:21.35\00:35:23.08
doesn't like beets,
but he might like beets
00:35:23.12\00:35:24.79
if I cook it
like this, let's see.
00:35:24.82\00:35:26.15
Oh, yes. They like.
00:35:26.19\00:35:27.56
When I do beets and somebody
said, "We don't like beets."
00:35:27.59\00:35:29.02
They tried mine,
wow, they loved it.
00:35:29.06\00:35:31.86
See, it's right.
00:35:31.89\00:35:33.23
Let's read our next recipe.
00:35:33.26\00:35:35.90
We are going to make
vegan sauteed kale and coconut.
00:35:35.93\00:35:39.93
For that we need...
00:35:40.00\00:35:41.34
Now that looks yummy.
00:36:05.46\00:36:07.76
This is the most
delicious recipe.
00:36:07.83\00:36:11.73
I am sure it is.
00:36:11.77\00:36:13.94
And we are
sauteing another vegetable
00:36:13.97\00:36:15.57
like we did with the beets.
00:36:15.60\00:36:16.94
Now we are doing
it with the kale.
00:36:17.01\00:36:18.34
Yes. So I put
the oil. It's pomace.
00:36:18.37\00:36:20.68
If they use the other oil,
00:36:20.71\00:36:22.04
you can't heat it
up that much olive oil.
00:36:22.08\00:36:24.25
Just remember that so
that's why I use this oil
00:36:24.28\00:36:26.65
so we can heat this up a little.
00:36:26.72\00:36:28.72
It's good. Yes.
00:36:28.75\00:36:30.09
And first goes our...
00:36:30.12\00:36:32.05
Yes, mustard seeds.
00:36:32.09\00:36:34.06
Mustard seeds,
then our cumin seeds.
00:36:34.09\00:36:36.32
And we are going to
hear them pop a little bit.
00:36:36.36\00:36:39.19
I love that. And
there is our urad.
00:36:39.23\00:36:43.13
Okay, urad dhal. Yes.
00:36:43.16\00:36:45.27
I am not pronouncing
that quite correctly but...
00:36:45.30\00:36:48.90
Nice.
00:36:48.94\00:36:52.44
And you can
start smelling already.
00:36:52.47\00:36:55.01
I am going to put...
00:36:55.04\00:36:56.91
Nice. The chilies.
00:36:56.95\00:36:58.28
Chilies and garlic.
00:36:58.31\00:37:01.45
Just saute that very light.
00:37:01.48\00:37:04.75
See that just a
little bit. Oh, yeah.
00:37:04.79\00:37:07.86
And now I am
going to add the kale.
00:37:07.89\00:37:10.06
Nice. I got it.
00:37:10.09\00:37:13.66
That oil starts
to really splatter.
00:37:16.87\00:37:18.80
Yeah.
00:37:18.83\00:37:22.77
Now kale is really king,
isn't it, as a vegetable?
00:37:22.80\00:37:25.34
I am telling you, kale is
super dense with nutrients,
00:37:25.37\00:37:31.38
packed with nutrients.
00:37:31.41\00:37:33.72
It's high in calcium, iron,
00:37:33.75\00:37:38.09
much more than spinach.
00:37:38.12\00:37:41.56
Really? Yes.
00:37:41.59\00:37:42.92
Actually vitamin C level,
00:37:42.96\00:37:44.36
I think four times
higher than spinach.
00:37:44.39\00:37:46.70
Wow, and here we think
spinach is a super food, right?
00:37:46.73\00:37:50.47
Right. And spinach is
really healthy for us.
00:37:50.53\00:37:51.87
Yeah, it is.
00:37:51.90\00:37:53.23
And we want to do this
but kale is even better.
00:37:53.27\00:37:54.60
It is the kale
tops it. It's the king.
00:37:54.64\00:37:56.04
Wow, I love
that. Kale is the king.
00:37:56.07\00:37:58.91
I love that.
00:37:58.94\00:38:00.34
So we just saute this. Okay.
00:38:00.41\00:38:03.24
It's already starting
to wilt. I can see that.
00:38:03.28\00:38:05.08
So you don't have
to cook kale that long
00:38:05.11\00:38:10.25
because if you overcook it,
00:38:10.32\00:38:11.65
it gets to little
bit of bitterest taste.
00:38:11.69\00:38:14.72
So you just put a
little bit of salt.
00:38:14.76\00:38:18.16
So you do it to taste
like you add a little bit,
00:38:18.19\00:38:20.43
and then you taste
it and then kind of see.
00:38:20.46\00:38:21.76
Yeah. Okay.
00:38:21.80\00:38:23.13
That's what I do
because, you know,
00:38:23.16\00:38:24.50
some people like
it a little bit more,
00:38:24.53\00:38:25.90
some people don't.
00:38:25.93\00:38:28.04
See how easy this is. I love it.
00:38:28.07\00:38:32.21
It's just that
if you want to cook,
00:38:32.24\00:38:33.68
you just put the
lid on it, it cooks.
00:38:33.71\00:38:35.81
But this doesn't take,
00:38:35.84\00:38:37.18
about 5 minutes or
10 minutes to cook.
00:38:37.25\00:38:38.88
But the most difficult part here
00:38:38.91\00:38:41.65
is to chop it.
00:38:41.68\00:38:44.09
This is fresh
kale. This is not frozen.
00:38:44.12\00:38:46.96
This is fresh. Yes.
00:38:46.99\00:38:48.32
You take the vein
out and kind of chop it.
00:38:48.36\00:38:51.43
And that's a
little time consuming.
00:38:51.46\00:38:53.53
But if we do, you will
see the benefits of the taste.
00:38:53.60\00:38:58.33
Now, that this is nicely wilted,
00:38:58.37\00:39:00.37
I am going to add
the grated coconut.
00:39:00.40\00:39:02.90
So you used grated coconut. Yes.
00:39:02.94\00:39:05.37
And this is
frozen, but I have it,
00:39:05.41\00:39:07.51
I got it from the Indian store.
00:39:07.54\00:39:09.54
You can get it, I am
sure, but not sweetened.
00:39:09.58\00:39:11.71
Okay. You cannot use...
00:39:11.75\00:39:13.08
You want unsweetened.
Exactly. Unsweetened coconut...
00:39:13.11\00:39:15.42
As this is not a sweet
dish, it's a savory dish.
00:39:15.45\00:39:18.62
So you don't want to add
that anything sweet in it.
00:39:18.65\00:39:24.29
We just want,
00:39:24.36\00:39:25.69
the coconut itself has a
little sweet taste to it.
00:39:25.73\00:39:28.76
But I am telling you,
00:39:28.80\00:39:30.17
it is so tasty just
with a little coconut in it.
00:39:30.20\00:39:34.57
What a difference it makes. Wow!
00:39:34.60\00:39:36.84
Because it just
enhances the flavor, you know,
00:39:36.91\00:39:38.97
you just don't want to.
00:39:39.01\00:39:40.38
You can eat kale
by itself. Right.
00:39:40.41\00:39:41.74
But you want to
just a little bit,
00:39:41.78\00:39:43.55
you know, get to
another level there.
00:39:43.58\00:39:46.15
You just
sprinkle a little coconut.
00:39:46.18\00:39:48.48
Yes. Amazing.
00:39:48.52\00:39:50.09
Now this is just took us, what?
00:39:50.12\00:39:51.59
Five minutes and
we are already...
00:39:51.62\00:39:52.95
Less than five minutes, I think.
00:39:52.99\00:39:54.82
It's already done.
00:39:54.86\00:39:56.19
And we have one that's
done here in the front.
00:39:56.22\00:39:58.13
That looks beautiful. Yes.
00:39:58.16\00:39:59.93
And you can really see
00:40:00.00\00:40:01.30
the little
coconut pieces in there.
00:40:01.33\00:40:03.00
Yes, I want you
to try it. I can see.
00:40:03.03\00:40:04.87
Oh, you better
believe I am going to try it.
00:40:04.90\00:40:07.67
I just got mine
from underneath here.
00:40:07.70\00:40:10.47
Oh, that's wonderful! Isn't it?
00:40:17.41\00:40:20.38
Can you taste just the coconut?
00:40:20.42\00:40:24.95
I can taste the coconut.
00:40:24.99\00:40:26.86
It has just a
little bit of a kick.
00:40:26.92\00:40:29.16
Yes.
00:40:29.19\00:40:30.53
I just put one
green chilly in there.
00:40:30.59\00:40:31.93
That's it? Yes.
00:40:31.96\00:40:33.29
That's what I had to add?
00:40:33.33\00:40:34.63
There is no curry powder,
nothing, just the green chilly.
00:40:34.66\00:40:36.00
And you don't want that cooked,
00:40:36.03\00:40:37.37
just don't put the green chilly.
00:40:37.40\00:40:38.73
But I like green chilies.
00:40:38.77\00:40:40.77
Let's go to our next recipe.
00:40:40.80\00:40:42.47
We are going to make dhal,
00:40:42.50\00:40:43.84
and you want to read
that recipe for us, Padma.
00:40:43.87\00:40:45.54
Yes. It's vegan
red lentil dhal...
00:40:45.57\00:40:48.98
I am so excited
00:41:25.91\00:41:27.28
because now you are going to
show us how to make the dhal.
00:41:27.32\00:41:29.08
Yes. It's yummy.
00:41:29.12\00:41:30.45
It's very
simple if we can learn.
00:41:30.49\00:41:33.46
We already have...
00:41:33.52\00:41:35.52
We are making with the masoor.
00:41:35.56\00:41:37.96
This is just red
lentils. Red lentils.
00:41:37.99\00:41:39.63
We call it masoor dhal in India.
00:41:39.66\00:41:42.10
But this is
available in all the stores.
00:41:42.13\00:41:44.40
So if you want to cook it
on stovetop, just soak this.
00:41:44.43\00:41:48.07
If you want to cook it
in the pressure cooker,
00:41:48.10\00:41:49.44
you don't have to soak it.
00:41:49.47\00:41:50.84
It cooks very
fast. That's the trick.
00:41:50.87\00:41:52.87
But here I am just
putting some red lentils.
00:41:52.91\00:41:56.51
Now you put some water.
00:41:56.54\00:41:59.01
Just let...
00:42:02.85\00:42:05.05
See that, you just put...
00:42:05.09\00:42:06.42
Just water. Maybe two cups or...
00:42:06.45\00:42:07.79
Two cups of... Yeah.
00:42:07.82\00:42:09.16
It doesn't hurt even if
you put more, it won't hurt.
00:42:09.19\00:42:10.73
It will cook it down.
00:42:10.76\00:42:12.69
And we have turned it on now.
00:42:12.73\00:42:14.73
And to that as it's
simmering and boiling,
00:42:14.73\00:42:19.60
we are not going
to wait till it boils.
00:42:19.63\00:42:22.07
As it boils... The
magic of television again.
00:42:22.10\00:42:24.74
Yes.
00:42:24.77\00:42:26.11
But we'll just
pretend that's boiling,
00:42:26.14\00:42:29.01
and then we will add turmeric.
00:42:29.04\00:42:32.18
So you wait
until it comes to boil,
00:42:32.21\00:42:34.08
and then you put in
some of your seasonings?
00:42:34.12\00:42:35.58
Yes. Got it.
00:42:35.62\00:42:36.95
And then the
Madras curry powder.
00:42:36.99\00:42:39.39
Nice.
00:42:39.42\00:42:40.76
And then the green chilies.
00:42:40.82\00:42:43.49
Yummy.
00:42:43.53\00:42:45.89
And you just
give that a nice stir,
00:42:45.93\00:42:50.33
and you need to cook
that at least for 30 minutes.
00:42:50.40\00:42:54.37
So it has to cook a while then?
00:42:54.40\00:42:55.77
Yes.
00:42:55.80\00:42:57.14
So this, if you put it like,
maybe in a pressure cooker,
00:42:57.17\00:43:02.51
you would probably
be done in 15 minutes.
00:43:02.54\00:43:05.45
Oh, I like that.
00:43:05.48\00:43:06.82
The same ingredients,
00:43:06.85\00:43:08.28
you can just put
that in a pressure cooker,
00:43:08.32\00:43:09.95
it cooks must faster.
00:43:09.98\00:43:11.89
But these red
lentils also cook faster.
00:43:11.92\00:43:13.96
You don't need a pressure cooker
00:43:13.99\00:43:15.32
if you don't have, no
sweat, you can do it, okay?
00:43:15.36\00:43:17.89
Red lentils are pretty fast.
00:43:17.93\00:43:19.26
It's a lot faster than, to
me some of the other beans.
00:43:19.29\00:43:21.80
You know, if you
trying to cook legumes,
00:43:21.83\00:43:23.33
and you are thinking
pinto beans or black beans,
00:43:23.37\00:43:25.43
it takes a while,
00:43:25.47\00:43:26.80
but with lentils
they're lot faster.
00:43:26.84\00:43:28.17
And if you want it faster,
00:43:28.20\00:43:29.54
just soak it for
30 minutes to an hour,
00:43:29.57\00:43:31.27
it will cook even faster, okay?
00:43:31.31\00:43:32.64
Yup. So we will just...
00:43:32.67\00:43:34.61
Now this is
been, when it's cooked,
00:43:34.64\00:43:39.05
this is how it looks.
00:43:39.08\00:43:40.42
It looks like this. Nice.
00:43:40.48\00:43:43.05
I have it all done.
00:43:43.08\00:43:45.12
I like that.
00:43:45.15\00:43:47.36
So now we'll go
to the second step.
00:43:47.42\00:43:51.59
Which means we will
put it in here then?
00:43:51.63\00:43:53.50
We are gonna saute this.
00:43:53.56\00:43:54.86
So we are going to
add the seasonings.
00:43:54.93\00:43:57.10
Before you add this. Got it.
00:43:57.13\00:43:58.47
Yes, before we add this,
00:43:58.50\00:43:59.87
we are going to season it first.
00:43:59.90\00:44:02.60
So we are going
to season it with.
00:44:02.64\00:44:04.01
Start with our oil.
00:44:04.04\00:44:05.37
We got to start
with that. Exactly.
00:44:05.41\00:44:07.08
I am telling you
that is just boiled peas
00:44:07.11\00:44:12.35
but with this seasoning
you will not believe the taste.
00:44:12.38\00:44:16.89
I am sure. Yes.
00:44:16.92\00:44:18.52
So now we have the oil. Nice.
00:44:18.55\00:44:21.69
And you know what goes next?
00:44:21.72\00:44:23.96
The mustard seeds.
00:44:24.03\00:44:27.20
And then we are going to
start to hear them start to pop.
00:44:27.23\00:44:30.13
But we're not waiting
00:44:30.17\00:44:31.50
so we are
adding the cumin seeds.
00:44:31.53\00:44:35.20
And this time we
don't add the urad dhal.
00:44:35.24\00:44:37.61
Okay. This is for dhal.
00:44:37.64\00:44:39.07
This is already peas so
we don't need to add that.
00:44:39.11\00:44:40.44
Okay, you don't need that.
00:44:40.48\00:44:41.81
Okay. Yes.
00:44:41.84\00:44:43.18
Now this one we put
it, make it into half,
00:44:43.21\00:44:45.95
but I know you cannot tolerate
00:44:45.98\00:44:47.62
so I am putting
it a whole there,
00:44:47.65\00:44:50.55
because it's really hot.
00:44:50.59\00:44:51.92
Yes. Yes.
00:44:51.95\00:44:53.32
This is the red
cayenne pepper. Okay.
00:44:53.36\00:44:55.36
You know, this curry
powder is that powder.
00:44:55.39\00:45:00.46
That's the powder here
with other ingredients in it.
00:45:00.53\00:45:03.37
And now I am going to
add little curry leaves.
00:45:03.40\00:45:05.60
Nice. And then...
00:45:05.63\00:45:07.87
That the seeds
are starting to pop.
00:45:07.90\00:45:09.37
I don't know if
you can hear that.
00:45:09.40\00:45:10.74
And then the garlic. Yeah.
00:45:10.81\00:45:14.54
Now your onions,
00:45:14.58\00:45:15.91
you always use the red
onions or the purple onions.
00:45:15.94\00:45:18.51
Is there a reason for that?
00:45:18.55\00:45:19.88
Well, I love the
taste of red onions.
00:45:19.91\00:45:22.65
You know, we use
that in India quite a bit.
00:45:22.68\00:45:25.82
I like it too.
00:45:25.85\00:45:27.19
I wasn't sure if
there is a reason why,
00:45:27.26\00:45:28.59
you know, that instead of,
00:45:28.62\00:45:29.96
you know, the
little yellow onions
00:45:29.99\00:45:31.33
or the sweet
onions or something.
00:45:31.36\00:45:33.16
It's just the
taste. It's just flavor.
00:45:33.19\00:45:34.66
Flavor. Good.
00:45:34.73\00:45:36.03
And here it is.
00:45:36.06\00:45:38.47
Now, we are going to nicely
let this simmer and get brown.
00:45:38.50\00:45:45.11
And any time if you
want them to cook fast...
00:45:45.14\00:45:50.35
Put the lid on.
00:45:50.41\00:45:53.31
And, you know, the
amazing benefits of lentils,
00:45:53.38\00:45:56.58
the red lentils.
00:45:56.65\00:45:58.29
It's very high in
protein, virtually fat free.
00:45:58.32\00:46:02.69
So there is so many health
00:46:02.72\00:46:04.06
to add on to this if
you want to while cooking,
00:46:04.09\00:46:06.96
you can add spinach to it, okay?
00:46:07.03\00:46:09.66
And then add tomato and spinach,
00:46:09.70\00:46:12.13
and it gives a nice flavor.
00:46:12.17\00:46:13.64
There is no restriction.
00:46:13.67\00:46:15.00
I am just giving
you the basic dhal.
00:46:15.04\00:46:16.60
That's all.
00:46:16.64\00:46:17.97
But you can
add, just be creative
00:46:18.01\00:46:19.44
and add, you know, more to
this to bring out more flavors
00:46:19.47\00:46:22.81
so you don't have to cook twice.
00:46:22.84\00:46:24.58
So you just put
your spinach in there,
00:46:24.61\00:46:25.95
you have your spinach,
00:46:25.98\00:46:27.32
and you have your lentils,
you have everything in there.
00:46:27.35\00:46:28.68
I like it. Yes.
00:46:28.72\00:46:30.09
Just with a little
tomato while it's coking.
00:46:30.12\00:46:31.99
If you want to put
it in a pressure cooker,
00:46:32.02\00:46:33.36
you can do it.
00:46:33.39\00:46:34.72
That's what I do so
many times. So it's really...
00:46:34.76\00:46:36.16
This is a basic recipe
00:46:36.19\00:46:37.53
and then I can adjust it
depending on my own taste
00:46:37.56\00:46:39.86
or my own preferences.
00:46:39.89\00:46:41.50
Yes. I can alter it.
00:46:41.53\00:46:42.86
Yes. I like that.
00:46:42.90\00:46:44.23
And you don't have red lentils,
you want to use split peas,
00:46:44.27\00:46:48.14
you know, the green peas.
00:46:48.17\00:46:49.50
Oh, yeah. They're
good. You can use those.
00:46:49.54\00:46:51.04
Anything that
you have you can use.
00:46:51.07\00:46:53.38
You don't have to think that,
00:46:53.44\00:46:55.08
"Oh, Padma told me this recipe
00:46:55.11\00:46:57.41
and you have to
follow it closely."
00:46:57.45\00:46:59.58
The trick with
the Indian cooking
00:46:59.61\00:47:02.12
is you can do anything.
00:47:02.15\00:47:04.12
My dhal won't taste the
same next time I make it
00:47:04.15\00:47:06.72
because I don't
measure anything,
00:47:06.79\00:47:08.12
I just throw in stuff, you know.
00:47:08.16\00:47:10.46
So it always tastes
different but it tastes good.
00:47:10.49\00:47:13.83
But you know what that is,
that's a sign of a true cook.
00:47:13.86\00:47:16.16
You know, that's
a sign of someone
00:47:16.20\00:47:17.73
God has given you a gift.
00:47:17.77\00:47:19.20
You know, Padma for cooking
and that's a wonderful thing.
00:47:19.23\00:47:22.67
So this is almost brown,
00:47:22.70\00:47:25.07
and now I am going
to add some cilantro.
00:47:25.11\00:47:26.98
Nice. Good.
00:47:27.01\00:47:28.84
Cilantro always gives
it a very nice flavor.
00:47:28.88\00:47:33.21
So you don't even have to
cut up the cilantro first?
00:47:33.25\00:47:35.42
Yes. They're slightly chopped.
00:47:35.45\00:47:37.19
A little bit but not real fine.
00:47:37.22\00:47:38.72
Not fine.
00:47:38.75\00:47:40.09
And sometimes you just
take it with your hand and do it
00:47:40.16\00:47:41.86
because it still has the flavor.
00:47:41.89\00:47:43.96
You can chop it and put it.
00:47:44.03\00:47:46.39
And it's great.
00:47:46.43\00:47:48.00
Yeah, fabulous.
00:47:48.03\00:47:51.50
And now we will
pretend this is almost done.
00:47:51.53\00:47:56.54
So then we add this later?
00:47:56.57\00:47:57.97
Yes. Right now. Okay.
00:47:58.01\00:47:59.51
Right now.
00:47:59.54\00:48:00.94
I am going to put this down
00:48:01.01\00:48:02.34
because it's going
to make a huge sound.
00:48:02.38\00:48:04.18
Okay, go ahead.
00:48:04.21\00:48:10.72
Wow!
00:48:10.75\00:48:12.09
Did you see that?
Oh, it's fabulous.
00:48:12.12\00:48:13.72
Now you just put
a little salt. Okay.
00:48:13.79\00:48:17.26
I am telling you,
this tastes amazing.
00:48:17.29\00:48:19.96
I am sure it does.
00:48:20.03\00:48:23.87
Yummy.
00:48:23.90\00:48:25.87
So do you let it
cook down a good deal?
00:48:25.90\00:48:28.34
Yes. Now depending or...
You want it pretty thick?
00:48:28.37\00:48:30.21
Or how do you
really like your dhal?
00:48:30.24\00:48:31.74
Depending on
whatever you prefer.
00:48:31.77\00:48:35.01
I prefer it very thin
00:48:35.04\00:48:36.85
because we eat it
with rice and whatever.
00:48:36.88\00:48:39.18
That's south India.
00:48:39.21\00:48:40.65
But north India they
eat it thick like this
00:48:40.72\00:48:43.25
because they eat it with roti,
they eat it with flat bread
00:48:43.28\00:48:47.19
so they like it thick
00:48:47.26\00:48:48.59
so they like to
eat it with that.
00:48:48.62\00:48:50.23
But I am telling you
00:48:50.26\00:48:51.59
this is one of the
staple dish in India,
00:48:51.63\00:48:53.80
it's red lentils,
every house in south India,
00:48:53.83\00:48:56.73
we have this
for lunch every day.
00:48:56.77\00:48:59.23
So this is a normal
traditional everyday dish.
00:48:59.27\00:49:02.70
Normal traditional
everyday dish for lunch.
00:49:02.74\00:49:06.14
We had it in our
house every single day,
00:49:06.17\00:49:08.14
my husband had
it every single day
00:49:08.18\00:49:10.08
but we eat it with rice.
00:49:10.11\00:49:12.08
Okay. Because I am south Indian.
00:49:12.11\00:49:13.85
So it's rice,
rice, rice all the time.
00:49:13.88\00:49:16.18
So rice and dhal,
rice and dhal for lunch
00:49:16.22\00:49:19.22
with some
vegetables at the side.
00:49:19.25\00:49:20.59
Yeah.
00:49:20.62\00:49:21.96
But this is really
used a lot in India.
00:49:21.99\00:49:25.09
From north India to south India,
00:49:25.13\00:49:26.46
it's just a different,
different version they use it.
00:49:26.49\00:49:29.13
But think how healthy that is.
00:49:29.16\00:49:30.57
You know, if you think we
ate this every day for lunch,
00:49:30.60\00:49:34.40
I mean, how healthy we would be.
00:49:34.44\00:49:35.80
You know, we are not
talking about going out
00:49:35.84\00:49:37.71
and getting
fries and eating a mac.
00:49:37.74\00:49:39.57
You know, big mac
or having a milkshake.
00:49:39.61\00:49:41.44
You know,
traditional American food.
00:49:41.48\00:49:42.98
This is healthy.
00:49:43.01\00:49:44.68
So even if you are at home,
00:49:44.71\00:49:46.18
you know, you're trying to make
changes, you can save one day,
00:49:46.21\00:49:50.59
you know, for lunch, I
am going to alter what I eat
00:49:50.62\00:49:52.85
and make healthier choices.
00:49:52.89\00:49:54.26
It's all about planning.
00:49:54.29\00:49:55.62
The next week we
can try two days.
00:49:55.66\00:49:57.23
And, you know,
just increase that.
00:49:57.26\00:49:58.59
But you need to plan. Yes.
00:49:58.63\00:50:00.13
If you don't
plan, you plan to fail.
00:50:00.20\00:50:01.50
It's good.
00:50:01.53\00:50:02.86
So you need to plan,
00:50:02.90\00:50:04.33
and then you will be
able to make these dishes.
00:50:04.37\00:50:06.20
Like you want to
soak it for a little bit
00:50:06.23\00:50:08.27
but that's all planning.
00:50:08.30\00:50:09.90
You know, if we plan,
00:50:09.97\00:50:11.31
we can make
something healthy in just...
00:50:11.34\00:50:13.64
I love it. It
doesn't take. Yes, yes.
00:50:13.68\00:50:15.68
You should try it. I will.
00:50:15.71\00:50:17.05
We have one that's all finished,
00:50:17.11\00:50:18.45
and I can see that
set it very nicely.
00:50:18.48\00:50:19.81
And I have one
behind the counter
00:50:19.85\00:50:22.42
that I am going to try.
00:50:22.45\00:50:24.05
That is fabulous.
00:50:30.53\00:50:31.86
Oh, yeah.
00:50:31.89\00:50:33.90
That's all it is, it's lentils.
00:50:33.96\00:50:35.33
I am ready for another
bite. That's very good.
00:50:35.36\00:50:37.00
And I am telling
you, it's the seasoning.
00:50:37.03\00:50:38.80
It is. Oh, yeah, seasoning.
00:50:38.83\00:50:40.17
If you just ate
that boiled lentils,
00:50:40.20\00:50:42.30
it will not taste that
way, no matter what you add,
00:50:42.34\00:50:45.24
but it's the mustard and cumin.
00:50:45.27\00:50:47.71
It's fabulous. Yes.
00:50:47.74\00:50:49.08
Let's go to our mango
lassi. We got to have dessert.
00:50:49.11\00:50:51.21
And then we look
in everything we made.
00:50:51.25\00:50:52.61
So let's read that
recipe for the last one.
00:50:52.65\00:50:55.22
Vegan mango lassi...
00:50:55.25\00:50:56.62
Every good meal has to have
some sort of little sweet treat
00:51:09.26\00:51:13.00
or some sort of
dessert at the end.
00:51:13.03\00:51:14.57
So I am excited
about this mango lassi
00:51:14.60\00:51:16.47
and to make it vegan.
00:51:16.50\00:51:17.84
Yes.
00:51:17.87\00:51:19.21
Usually they
have regular yogurt.
00:51:19.24\00:51:20.58
So now we have
substituted that for soy yogurt.
00:51:20.64\00:51:23.61
I like it. Yes.
00:51:23.65\00:51:25.11
So we're just going to
add. This is mango pulp.
00:51:25.15\00:51:28.12
I got it from the Indian store
so it's really, really good.
00:51:28.15\00:51:31.99
You can have it frozen or
you can have fresh mangoes,
00:51:32.02\00:51:35.46
anything you can
use if you do have.
00:51:35.49\00:51:37.86
So we'll just add that.
00:51:37.89\00:51:40.26
Nice.
00:51:40.30\00:51:42.90
And little bit
of the yogurt. Yup.
00:51:42.93\00:51:48.40
Nice combination. Yes.
00:51:48.44\00:51:51.97
Now, if you want
it like a smoothie,
00:51:52.01\00:51:55.84
you can just do
half-and-half of this,
00:51:55.88\00:51:58.58
and you are good to go.
00:51:58.61\00:52:00.45
But usually mango lassi is
like a little, you know, juice.
00:52:00.52\00:52:03.49
They don't just... Right.
00:52:03.52\00:52:04.85
They don't eat
it like a smoothie
00:52:04.89\00:52:06.22
but you have an option.
00:52:06.25\00:52:07.59
We would like to add
just a little sugar to it,
00:52:07.66\00:52:09.09
brown sugar.
00:52:09.12\00:52:11.56
Give it just a little sweetener.
00:52:11.59\00:52:12.93
Yes, yes. And then ice.
00:52:12.96\00:52:18.80
And I want to
make it not too thick
00:52:18.83\00:52:20.94
so that's why I am just adding
just a little bit of water.
00:52:20.97\00:52:23.47
Just a quarter cup of water.
00:52:23.51\00:52:26.84
So it won't be too thick. Yes.
00:52:26.88\00:52:30.91
I will just put it here.
00:52:30.95\00:52:35.25
And then we get to try it.
00:52:35.28\00:52:36.65
That's the best part. Yes.
00:52:36.69\00:52:39.42
We'll make some noise.
00:52:39.45\00:52:40.82
Nice.
00:52:53.37\00:52:55.77
Oh, I can't wait to try it.
00:52:55.80\00:53:00.11
This is the most simple recipe.
00:53:00.18\00:53:02.08
Yummy. There you go.
00:53:05.55\00:53:07.52
We have one finished there,
but I am going to try this.
00:53:07.55\00:53:09.45
This is my
glass. Thank you. Yes.
00:53:09.48\00:53:11.72
Oh, this is exquisite.
00:53:16.86\00:53:20.63
I love the mango.
00:53:20.70\00:53:22.00
It's nice and
creamy, just a little sweet
00:53:22.03\00:53:25.03
but not too much.
00:53:25.07\00:53:26.40
Yes, this is fabulous. Yes.
00:53:26.43\00:53:27.90
With the yogurt in combination.
00:53:27.94\00:53:29.27
Oh, yeah. Oh!
00:53:29.30\00:53:30.67
Yes. This is
wonderful. Let's look.
00:53:30.71\00:53:32.04
We made a lot of
wonderful dishes here today.
00:53:32.07\00:53:34.68
Yes. We started
with the biryani.
00:53:34.71\00:53:37.31
Biryani is a combination
of rice and the meat.
00:53:37.35\00:53:41.12
This is veggie meat.
00:53:41.15\00:53:42.52
You know, you can add anything,
you want to add vegetables,
00:53:42.55\00:53:44.99
you can add but it's a rice
with the meat with veggie meat,
00:53:45.02\00:53:49.09
fri-chick anything you can.
00:53:49.12\00:53:51.33
And it tasted great, right?
00:53:51.36\00:53:52.69
Oh, it tasted beyond
great. It was fabulous.
00:53:52.73\00:53:55.26
And then I see our curry,
the mushroom cashew curry.
00:53:55.30\00:53:59.77
The cashews really
give it a twist to that,
00:53:59.80\00:54:02.77
and it's really,
really flavorful,
00:54:02.80\00:54:05.61
and you should try
that dish when you go home.
00:54:05.64\00:54:08.88
I know you already
had part of it here.
00:54:08.91\00:54:11.28
I did.
00:54:11.31\00:54:12.65
That's the best
mushrooms, I have ever eaten.
00:54:12.68\00:54:14.65
And the sauteed beets. Beets.
00:54:14.68\00:54:16.79
Didn't that taste
nice? It was fabulous.
00:54:16.82\00:54:19.92
I love it. My kids
love it. Everybody loves it.
00:54:19.95\00:54:22.09
And you have to beet tops.
00:54:22.12\00:54:23.46
I mean, what's better than that
00:54:23.53\00:54:24.86
than getting all
the nutrition in that,
00:54:24.89\00:54:27.30
in the tops of
the beets as well.
00:54:27.30\00:54:29.33
And the leaves too. Yes.
00:54:29.36\00:54:30.93
That's what I meant by
the top but the leaves.
00:54:30.97\00:54:32.63
And the leaves, and the beets
00:54:32.67\00:54:34.74
so, you know, it's
very, very, very nutritional.
00:54:34.77\00:54:37.61
The only thing you have to boil.
00:54:37.64\00:54:39.21
So I don't know
if somebody wants to,
00:54:39.24\00:54:40.58
they can grate it and
maybe chop the raw beets
00:54:40.64\00:54:43.24
and try the same recipe.
00:54:43.31\00:54:44.65
Absolutely.
00:54:44.68\00:54:46.01
And we had the kale,
00:54:46.05\00:54:47.38
this was sauteed kale as
well and that was fabulous.
00:54:47.42\00:54:49.58
Yes. Didn't that?
00:54:49.62\00:54:50.95
And it cooked so fast. Yes.
00:54:50.99\00:54:52.75
It cooked so
fast with the coconut.
00:54:52.79\00:54:54.66
Yes. And that dhal, yummy.
00:54:54.69\00:54:57.59
And you said, every day,
this is the staple in India.
00:54:57.63\00:54:59.96
In India, people
eat that, you know.
00:55:00.06\00:55:02.70
They can't afford to
go and buy and eat all,
00:55:02.73\00:55:05.50
you know, meats and
this and that and all that
00:55:05.53\00:55:07.84
so everybody dhal,
everybody, in every home.
00:55:07.87\00:55:11.77
And the mango lassi
which is beyond good.
00:55:11.81\00:55:16.85
I love that. Really?
00:55:16.88\00:55:19.01
Oh, yes. I love
that. That's very good.
00:55:19.05\00:55:21.52
So let's talk about your website
00:55:21.55\00:55:24.09
and your email one more time
00:55:24.12\00:55:25.45
because we want to make sure,
00:55:25.49\00:55:26.86
we give you at home opportunity
to contact Padma for yourself.
00:55:26.89\00:55:31.23
May be, you want her
to come to your area,
00:55:31.26\00:55:33.43
and you're interested in
her coming for a cooking school
00:55:33.50\00:55:36.50
or something else or
maybe you are saying,
00:55:36.53\00:55:39.17
"I want more
information on these recipes.
00:55:39.20\00:55:41.77
I have questions."
00:55:41.80\00:55:43.14
So give us first of
all your website again
00:55:43.17\00:55:45.07
and then we'll go
to the other options.
00:55:45.11\00:55:46.44

00:55:46.47\00:55:51.05

I-D-I. Okay, at gmail.com.
00:56:14.64\00:56:16.81
And what about
your phone number?
00:56:16.84\00:56:18.17
My phone number
is (813) 325-5783.
00:56:18.21\00:56:23.14
Oh, that's wonderful. Thank you.
00:56:23.18\00:56:25.38
God has given you
a tremendous gift,
00:56:25.41\00:56:27.12
and we always
love when you come in,
00:56:27.15\00:56:28.68
and when you share
with the family at home.
00:56:28.72\00:56:31.65
The recipes that
He has given to you.
00:56:31.69\00:56:33.05
But we're almost out of time.
00:56:33.09\00:56:34.79
Is there a parting thought
00:56:34.82\00:56:36.19
that you want to leave
with our friends at home,
00:56:36.22\00:56:37.83
may be someone's
trying to make a transition
00:56:37.86\00:56:39.79
to a more plant-based diet
00:56:39.83\00:56:41.23
or maybe experimenting
with more Indian cuisine.
00:56:41.26\00:56:43.97
What would you tell them?
00:56:44.03\00:56:45.37
I would tell them, it's
so easy, it's so healthy,
00:56:45.40\00:56:48.67
and it's good for our bodies.
00:56:48.70\00:56:50.47
So I would
encourage them to try.
00:56:50.51\00:56:52.84
And try these recipes, call me.
00:56:52.87\00:56:54.94
Call me, and
I'll encourage them,
00:56:54.98\00:56:56.91
and tell them how
to make tasty food
00:56:56.95\00:56:59.05
so that we can
live a healthy life.
00:56:59.08\00:57:00.78
Amen. That's right.
00:57:00.85\00:57:02.18
I think God wants
us to be in health
00:57:02.22\00:57:04.32
because then
our minds are clear.
00:57:04.35\00:57:06.59
And we can hear the
voice of God so much better.
00:57:06.62\00:57:09.16
And special thanks for coming
and for my beautiful sari,
00:57:09.19\00:57:12.86
we got to wear these together.
00:57:12.89\00:57:14.56
Yes. And you look
lovely. Oh, you do too.
00:57:14.56\00:57:18.30
And you brought in
the jasmine flowers.
00:57:18.33\00:57:20.84
These were
shipped from India for me.
00:57:20.87\00:57:22.20
These are real fresh jasmines.
00:57:22.24\00:57:24.21
You know, at
home you can't smell,
00:57:24.24\00:57:25.91
but we can smell it here.
00:57:25.94\00:57:27.28
Oh, it's so
delicate. It's beautiful.
00:57:27.31\00:57:28.94
Well, we hope that you
have enjoyed this program
00:57:28.98\00:57:31.08
that you experiment and
try to widen your horizons.
00:57:31.11\00:57:34.32
Enjoy the food.
00:57:34.35\00:57:35.68
We will see you
next time. Bye-bye.
00:57:35.72\00:57:37.79
