Now... 00:08:51.03\00:08:53.26 Did you cook ever since you're a little girl, 00:08:53.29\00:08:55.03 and we wait for that to release here? 00:08:55.06\00:08:56.67 Actually, no. No! 00:08:56.70\00:08:58.17 No. I till almost in college... 00:08:58.20\00:09:01.40 After marriage, is when I started cooking 00:09:01.44\00:09:05.54 and I never even knew that I had this passion for cooking. 00:09:05.57\00:09:09.11 Wow. 00:09:09.14\00:09:10.48 And now we'll just put a little bit 00:09:10.51\00:09:11.85 of the cashews here. 00:09:11.88\00:09:13.21 Yep.

Yeah. 00:09:38.37\00:09:41.14 Our onions and green chilies. 00:09:41.18\00:09:44.88 And usually when I do the onion 00:09:48.42\00:09:51.52 so they cook little fast, 00:09:51.55\00:09:53.15 I like to put just a little bit of salt. 00:09:53.19\00:09:55.49 Nice. Yeah. 00:09:55.52\00:09:59.26 And that helps them to cook faster. 00:09:59.29\00:10:04.30 Now you can see that. 00:10:04.33\00:10:06.60 Can you smell? 00:10:06.63\00:10:10.24 Oh, yes, it smells fabulous. 00:10:10.27\00:10:15.71 And...

At least couple of times. 00:11:31.85\00:11:34.62 And now did you see, 00:11:34.66\00:11:37.39 you just have to saute this 00:11:37.43\00:11:39.49 so all the spices are mixed together. 00:11:39.53\00:11:44.07 And then you can just see that 00:11:44.10\00:11:46.20 when we put them to cook 00:11:46.23\00:11:50.11 it will be evenly cook, see all the spices, 00:11:50.14\00:11:52.64 see all the oils and the spices... 00:11:52.67\00:11:54.01 It is mixing it together. 00:11:54.04\00:11:55.38 Mixing it together but because 00:11:55.41\00:11:56.75 each and every rice grain must be coated, 00:11:56.78\00:11:59.15 you know, and so... 00:11:59.18\00:12:00.52 And this is still, the rice is uncooked. 00:12:00.55\00:12:02.42 It's just rinsed.

Double. 00:13:49.69\00:13:52.03 Okay, and to this you must add salt 00:13:52.06\00:13:55.93 and the only thing is you keep tasting the salt 00:13:55.96\00:14:00.37 just to make sure that it tastes good 00:14:00.40\00:14:03.44 according to your taste whatever, 00:14:03.47\00:14:04.97 you know, you taste but then you taste this liquid, 00:14:05.01\00:14:07.21 and then, you know... 00:14:07.24\00:14:08.58 You see does it need more salt? 00:14:08.61\00:14:09.94 Yeah, does it need more salt or what does it need 00:14:09.98\00:14:12.01 so I'm just adding that salt 00:14:12.05\00:14:14.05 and now you just mix all this up. 00:14:14.08\00:14:16.35 Nice. 00:14:16.38\00:14:19.22 And the cilantro does not go in now to garnish it? 00:14:19.25\00:14:21.09 Well, yeah. 00:14:21.12\00:14:22.59 No, no, we do put it in but what I do is like, 00:14:22.62\00:14:27.66 okay, there it is, right? 00:14:27.70\00:14:29.96 So typically we just close that 00:14:30.00\00:14:32.17 and let it cook for about 10 minutes, you know, 00:14:32.20\00:14:35.60 cook for about 10 minutes and then you take this 00:14:35.64\00:14:38.67 and then you put some sprinkle it around. 00:14:38.71\00:14:41.94 Yes, sprinkle it around and then let it cook, you know, 00:14:41.98\00:14:45.65 just in the last 10 minutes or so, then you just do that 00:14:45.68\00:14:49.08 because the aroma is just so... 00:14:49.12\00:14:51.79 I mean, cilantro, you know how it is. 00:14:51.82\00:14:53.96 I like cilantro. Oh, yes. 00:14:53.99\00:14:55.32 You can cook with it, but if you cook too early, 00:14:55.36\00:14:57.63 it just won't, you know, you don't... 00:14:57.66\00:14:58.99 It loses some of the flavor. Right. 00:14:59.03\00:15:00.66 So just do it kind, you know, maybe like 5-10 minutes 00:15:00.70\00:15:03.70 before you take it off or something. 00:15:03.73\00:15:05.47 So just at the very end to cooking you would add this? 00:15:05.50\00:15:07.50 Yes, so, you know, 00:15:07.54\00:15:09.10 and all we just do is turn it on 00:15:09.14\00:15:11.67 and just push the button here and you're ready to go. 00:15:11.71\00:15:14.68 That's it.

Yes. 00:23:58.23\00:23:59.57 Is there a reason for that? 00:23:59.60\00:24:00.94 Yes, because I'm South Indian. 00:24:00.97\00:24:02.30 And, you know, we use for every state 00:24:02.34\00:24:04.64 use this kind of a little different. 00:24:04.67\00:24:06.34 We mix the spices differently now curry powder. 00:24:06.37\00:24:09.01 So this is typically what I use. 00:24:09.04\00:24:11.38 And it's really, really wonderful. 00:24:11.41\00:24:13.25 Oh, it's amazing.

Exactly. 00:26:04.09\00:26:05.76 Yay. 00:26:05.79\00:26:07.13 Mustard seeds and then just heat it up a little bit. 00:26:07.16\00:26:10.80 You need to make sure it starts popping. 00:26:10.83\00:26:12.57 Yeah. 00:26:12.60\00:26:13.94 And these are the cumin seeds and this is the urad dal. 00:26:13.97\00:26:17.27 This is a great combination. 00:26:17.31\00:26:19.07 What is urad dal then? 00:26:19.11\00:26:20.54 It's split peas 00:26:20.58\00:26:21.91 but it's a different kind of peas. 00:26:21.94\00:26:23.81 It's, you know, see how tiny they are? 00:26:23.85\00:26:25.41 They are. 00:26:25.45\00:26:26.78 Yes, this is a different kind of peas. 00:26:26.82\00:26:28.48 They give flavor. 00:26:28.52\00:26:30.39 That great smell 00:26:30.42\00:26:32.15 that you have it's because of the urad dal and, 00:26:32.19\00:26:35.09 of course, the cumin too and the mustard seeds. 00:26:35.12\00:26:39.23 Nice. 00:26:39.26\00:26:40.90 So you should... 00:26:40.93\00:26:42.46 We got to wait till it starts popping, 00:26:42.50\00:26:43.83 and I want to hear it pop. 00:26:43.87\00:26:45.20 Just a little bit. Yeah. 00:26:45.23\00:26:46.57 That's fun. 00:26:46.60\00:26:47.94 Then you know it's... 00:26:47.97\00:26:49.30 Ready. Ready. 00:26:49.34\00:26:50.67 Because that's when the aroma is released and the flavor. 00:26:50.71\00:26:53.27 Yes, that's when you saute but for the mustard seeds, 00:26:53.31\00:26:56.78 they have to pop and if they don't you can tell 00:26:56.81\00:26:59.85 It's not that tasty. 00:26:59.88\00:27:01.38 Really? Yeah. 00:27:01.42\00:27:02.75 So it makes a difference in the flavor. 00:27:02.78\00:27:04.12 Absolutely. Absolutely. 00:27:04.15\00:27:05.49 That's why I say in every recipe 00:27:05.52\00:27:07.52 just make sure when it starts to sputter, 00:27:07.56\00:27:10.33 you know, then you can add. 00:27:10.36\00:27:13.56 It's getting warm but it's not popping yet. 00:27:13.60\00:27:15.30 I know it takes because we should wait 00:27:15.33\00:27:17.43 put the oil just a little... 00:27:17.47\00:27:19.07 'Cause we're anxious for it to the go, that's why. 00:27:19.10\00:27:23.07 So, anyway, it'll start popping, 00:27:23.10\00:27:25.97 but we'll add the garlic because I know we can't wait. 00:27:26.01\00:27:30.41 I'm just adding the garlic. 00:27:30.45\00:27:31.78 Now this is not the ginger-garlic paste. 00:27:31.81\00:27:33.45 This is just... No. 00:27:33.48\00:27:34.82 This is chopped. Minced. 00:27:34.85\00:27:36.18 Yeah, minced or chopped or whatever garlic. 00:27:36.22\00:27:38.62 And this is the chilies. 00:27:38.65\00:27:40.59 Now green chilies really add the flavor 00:27:40.62\00:27:45.39 for this particular dish. 00:27:45.43\00:27:46.90 Now I don't use any curry powder. 00:27:46.93\00:27:49.53 I don't need the curry powder. 00:27:49.56\00:27:51.17 It has very light. 00:27:51.20\00:27:54.34 We don't need too much for this. 00:27:54.37\00:27:56.27 It's not like I'm currying it. 00:27:56.30\00:27:57.97 It's just a sauteing. That's all. 00:27:58.01\00:28:00.51 So when you blend this cumin 00:28:00.54\00:28:04.88 and just the garlic with the green chilies. 00:28:04.91\00:28:08.02 Well, people that don't like green chilies 00:28:08.05\00:28:10.09 maybe you can use something that's not spicy. 00:28:10.12\00:28:14.06 Okay, you don't need to use chilies, 00:28:14.09\00:28:15.96 you know, that's what I'm saying 00:28:15.99\00:28:17.59 this Indian dishes you can change 00:28:17.63\00:28:19.29 any way you want depending on your taste. 00:28:19.33\00:28:22.76 But see now that we saute it a little bit, 00:28:22.80\00:28:27.27 but we must make sure also the garlic is light brown. 00:28:27.30\00:28:31.84 Yes, that's important. Yes. 00:28:31.87\00:28:34.64 And then we can add the Brussels sprouts. 00:28:34.68\00:28:36.85 So you've already trim them and you've already cut them. 00:28:40.58\00:28:42.75 Yes, you know, you have to trim them 00:28:42.78\00:28:45.69 and cut the ends off and make sure 00:28:45.72\00:28:48.39 they're nice and green in color. 00:28:48.42\00:28:50.13 Not any wilted leaves when you pick, you know, 00:28:50.16\00:28:53.29 the Brussels sprouts so they can taste good, 00:28:53.33\00:28:56.50 and I'm gonna sprinkle a little salt. 00:28:56.53\00:28:59.77 Nice.

So that's what it is. 00:42:50.80\00:42:52.43 And when do we add this cilantro? 00:42:52.47\00:42:54.17 At the very end. I'm learning. 00:42:54.20\00:42:55.57 Yes.

Yes. 00:43:03.91\00:43:06.48 I think we've done this quite a bit, 00:43:06.51\00:43:08.25 Jill, you must be a pro by now. 00:43:08.28\00:43:10.22 You must try recipe and tell me and say, 00:43:10.25\00:43:12.45 "Wow, I did it." 00:43:12.49\00:43:13.82 I did it myself. That's right. Yes. 00:43:13.86\00:43:15.86 So now you can see this nicely sizzling. 00:43:15.89\00:43:17.79 Oh, yeah. 00:43:17.83\00:43:19.16 But you'll have to cook that down. 00:43:19.19\00:43:20.73 It will take five minutes and you'll see maybe half of 00:43:20.76\00:43:23.43 it will come to like half the water. 00:43:23.47\00:43:25.87 You see, we cannot have it that watery. 00:43:25.90\00:43:28.20 Right. 00:43:28.24\00:43:29.57 It has to cook a little bit, about five minutes or so, 00:43:29.60\00:43:33.17 I would say three to five minutes 00:43:33.21\00:43:34.71 depending on the heat maybe if we can increase it. 00:43:34.74\00:43:37.88 So we'll pretend that the five minutes has happened, 00:43:37.91\00:43:40.62 even though normally it would 00:43:40.65\00:43:41.98 and then you would add the tomatoes. 00:43:42.02\00:43:43.35 Yes. So I'm gonna add the tomatoes. 00:43:43.39\00:43:44.75 I know we're speeding up the process. 00:43:44.79\00:43:46.42 Normally you would wait at home. 00:43:46.45\00:43:47.79 I would.

Absolutely. 00:44:08.18\00:44:09.51 That's all. 00:44:09.54\00:44:10.88 But did you see how many ingredients 00:44:10.91\00:44:12.25 went into this? 00:44:12.28\00:44:13.62 We did.

Now we're adding the sugar. 00:48:42.02\00:48:43.35 Sugar, and then you do it for another 00:48:43.39\00:48:47.96 probably 15 or 10 minutes. 00:48:47.99\00:48:50.36 Now the consistency. 00:48:50.39\00:48:51.76 Yes, it takes a little time. 00:48:51.79\00:48:53.63 You just need to keep on stirring. 00:48:53.66\00:48:55.20 We don't want to burn this. 00:48:55.23\00:48:56.93 And... 00:48:56.97\00:48:58.57 I can see it's really turned on now. 00:48:58.60\00:48:59.93 Yes, but it's kind of pudding consistency, 00:48:59.97\00:49:02.84 you know, are you, you don't want it that thick. 00:49:02.87\00:49:05.04 It's okay. 00:49:05.07\00:49:06.41 You can also make it just a little bit. 00:49:06.44\00:49:08.94 So the longer you cook it, the thicker it becomes. 00:49:08.98\00:49:11.08 Yes. Okay. 00:49:11.11\00:49:12.45 Yes, because of the sugar. 00:49:12.48\00:49:14.82 Yeah. And that's what... 00:49:14.85\00:49:16.38 So we have to keep on stirring this. 00:49:16.42\00:49:18.75 And... 00:49:18.79\00:49:20.12 This dish is that they're gonna love. 00:49:20.16\00:49:21.49 Yes, you have to keep on stirring it 00:49:21.52\00:49:24.13 and now after maybe 10-15 minutes, 00:49:24.16\00:49:28.26 when you know that it's thickening, 00:49:28.30\00:49:30.60 then you add the cardamom. 00:49:30.63\00:49:32.93 This is the cardamom powder. 00:49:32.97\00:49:34.70 Yep. Now... 00:49:34.74\00:49:36.07 Why aren't we using the seeds in this one? 00:49:36.10\00:49:37.44 In this one you have to use the powder. 00:49:37.47\00:49:39.37 You take the, you know, take the pod and open 00:49:39.41\00:49:42.28 and get the seeds out and you do it fresh. 00:49:42.31\00:49:45.11 My daughter, actually she crushed it 00:49:45.15\00:49:47.48 and made it into a powder for me. 00:49:47.52\00:49:49.32 My daughter was supposed to be here, 00:49:49.35\00:49:51.22 but she couldn't but, you know, 00:49:51.25\00:49:52.95 she just helped me so much in preparing everything. 00:49:52.99\00:49:56.62 She cut everything chopped, of course, 00:49:56.66\00:49:58.36 they're my guinea pigs, you know, 00:49:58.39\00:49:59.73 they get to taste the food. 00:49:59.76\00:50:01.66 I don't think I've ever met your daughter before, 00:50:01.70\00:50:03.10 have I, has she ever been to... 00:50:03.13\00:50:04.47 No, she hasn't. 00:50:04.50\00:50:05.83 So maybe next time. We would love that. 00:50:05.87\00:50:07.37 She was just so excited 00:50:07.40\00:50:08.74 and wanted to be here but couldn't. 00:50:08.77\00:50:10.24 And this is the cardamom powder. 00:50:10.27\00:50:12.31 So she grounded herself. Yes. 00:50:12.34\00:50:14.38 If you make it fresh, you can see the difference. 00:50:14.41\00:50:17.88 You can get store bought, you can use that too. 00:50:17.91\00:50:20.82 But this is, you know, a whole lot different. 00:50:20.85\00:50:24.09 So you just add this, 00:50:24.12\00:50:25.45 it'll take you to the next level. 00:50:25.49\00:50:26.96 It is just so flavorful. 00:50:26.99\00:50:30.06 So I'm just adding the cardamom and then the cashews. 00:50:30.09\00:50:34.83 Now cashews really give wonderful texture to this dish 00:50:34.86\00:50:39.73 because it's so creamy with the carrots. 00:50:39.77\00:50:41.97 Yes. The cashews really... 00:50:42.00\00:50:46.17 Give you just a little bit of crunch then... 00:50:46.21\00:50:47.64 Crunch, yeah. 00:50:47.68\00:50:49.01 That combines with the smoothness, 00:50:49.04\00:50:50.38 I like that. 00:50:50.41\00:50:51.75 So you can use roasted carrots, 00:50:51.78\00:50:53.11 I mean roasted cashews, 00:50:53.15\00:50:55.45 and then chop them and put them in this. 00:50:55.48\00:50:58.45 We have to just keep on stirring this. 00:50:58.49\00:51:01.16 It will take a little while to finish this dish. 00:51:01.19\00:51:05.23 But you can see how it's coming together. 00:51:05.26\00:51:07.20 It has thickened a little bit. It has. 00:51:07.23\00:51:09.06 I can see that. Yeah, you can see that. 00:51:09.10\00:51:10.57 See, it's thick, but you need to increase it 00:51:10.60\00:51:14.44 like to a medium high or, you know, 00:51:14.47\00:51:17.57 and not put the heat 00:51:17.61\00:51:19.57 so that it'll help to reduce, 00:51:19.61\00:51:23.75 basically you can reduce it 00:51:23.78\00:51:25.75 to a little thicker consistency. 00:51:25.78\00:51:28.95 I would say pudding consistency. 00:51:28.98\00:51:30.52 Oh, nice. 00:51:30.55\00:51:32.29 So when it's done and do you cool it 00:51:32.32\00:51:34.82 and put it in the fridge or...? 00:51:34.86\00:51:36.19 Yes. 00:51:36.22\00:51:37.56 This is really good chilled. 00:51:37.59\00:51:38.93 Nice. Yes. 00:51:38.96\00:51:40.30 So we chill it and then you eat it. 00:51:40.33\00:51:43.20 Nice. And it's... 00:51:43.23\00:51:45.23 I love that. 00:51:45.27\00:51:46.60 When it's all done, it looks like this. 00:51:46.63\00:51:47.97 And we have one here, 00:51:48.00\00:51:49.34 I am going to dig out of this bowl 00:51:49.37\00:51:50.71 'cause I wanna try some. 00:51:50.74\00:51:52.07 Sure. See what it's like. 00:51:52.11\00:51:53.44 Now, this is real thick, Padma. 00:51:53.48\00:51:55.48 Yes. I can see that. 00:51:55.51\00:51:56.85 And it was in the fridge so it thickens even more. 00:51:56.88\00:51:59.45 It makes an even thicker. 00:51:59.48\00:52:01.48 And you kind of garnish it with little cashews on top. 00:52:01.52\00:52:03.59 Yes. It's beautiful. 00:52:03.62\00:52:05.79 Oh, that's amazing. 00:52:10.63\00:52:12.43 See, how creamy it is. 00:52:12.46\00:52:15.23 It is decadent. Yes. 00:52:15.26\00:52:17.20 That's the word for this is dessert. 00:52:17.23\00:52:19.03 It is truly decadent 'cause it's so creamy. 00:52:19.07\00:52:20.44 It is. It is. 00:52:20.47\00:52:22.74 And the flavor. Yes. 00:52:22.77\00:52:24.11 And we didn't use, usually they use regular milk, 00:52:24.14\00:52:26.94 but this is coconut milk. 00:52:26.98\00:52:28.44 Yeah. 00:52:28.48\00:52:29.81 Coconut milk is just so creamy. 00:52:29.84\00:52:33.01 And you like that cardamom. 00:52:33.05\00:52:36.45 Can you taste? Oh, I can taste the cardamom. 00:52:36.48\00:52:38.65 That's what it is. 00:52:38.69\00:52:40.02 Actually, that gives the whole flavor to it. 00:52:40.06\00:52:43.59 Oh, that's amazing. 00:52:43.63\00:52:45.49 So tell us before we look at all our final products 00:52:45.53\00:52:47.60 'cause we got them all spread out very pretty. 00:52:47.63\00:52:49.60 And we'll show you what we made. 00:52:49.63\00:52:51.10 Before we go to that, 00:52:51.13\00:52:52.47 tell me you did a women's conference 00:52:52.50\00:52:54.77 or spoke for some women at our church here recently? 00:52:54.80\00:52:56.87 Yes.
