I want to spend my life
00:00:01.90\00:00:07.74
Mending broken people
00:00:07.77\00:00:12.64
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.67\00:00:18.88
Removing pain
00:00:18.91\00:00:23.95
Lord, let my words
00:00:23.99\00:00:30.19
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:30.23\00:00:34.76
I want to spend my life
00:00:34.80\00:00:40.50
Mending broken people
00:00:40.54\00:00:45.97
I want to spend my life
00:00:46.01\00:00:51.48
Mending broken people
00:00:51.51\00:00:55.95
Hi, and welcome to 3ABN Today.
00:01:09.63\00:01:11.93
I am Tim Parton,
00:01:11.97\00:01:13.30
General Manager of the
Praise Him Music Network.
00:01:13.34\00:01:16.30
Today, I feel like
a fish out of water
00:01:16.34\00:01:20.11
because I'm a
bit out of my element
00:01:20.14\00:01:22.14
because I'm in the kitchen.
00:01:22.18\00:01:23.55
If you have seen me before,
I'm usually behind a piano.
00:01:23.58\00:01:28.12
But I am a very simple cook.
00:01:28.15\00:01:34.39
I'm not even a
chef, I would just say,
00:01:34.42\00:01:37.19
"I'm a very, very simple cook."
00:01:37.23\00:01:39.26
Because cooking to me
00:01:39.29\00:01:41.00
is like opening a
container of hummus
00:01:41.03\00:01:45.87
and a bag of chips.
00:01:45.90\00:01:47.24
Really simple. That's
the way I like to cook.
00:01:47.27\00:01:49.17
But the smells
in this kitchen...
00:01:49.20\00:01:52.57
If you could be
here, you would...
00:01:52.61\00:01:54.64
Oh, you would love the smell
that's going on in this place.
00:01:54.68\00:01:57.45
So I want to introduce
just jump right into things,
00:01:57.48\00:02:02.25
Padma Medidi.
00:02:02.28\00:02:03.62
Yes. It is a pleasure.
00:02:03.65\00:02:05.55
For 10 years Padma has been
blessing us with her cooking
00:02:05.59\00:02:10.39
and her wonderful
creative ideas in the kitchen.
00:02:10.43\00:02:15.53
So it's just always
a delight to have you.
00:02:15.56\00:02:18.70
Thank you for being here.
00:02:18.73\00:02:20.14
I'm just so happy
and delighted to be here,
00:02:20.17\00:02:23.04
and to share my wonderful,
00:02:23.07\00:02:26.01
simple,
flavorful, tasty recipes.
00:02:26.04\00:02:29.44
That sounds great.
00:02:29.48\00:02:30.81
So I'm glad that 3ABN
gives me this opportunity.
00:02:30.85\00:02:33.38
Yes. I am truly thankful.
00:02:33.42\00:02:35.35
Well, we are so again
grateful to have you here.
00:02:35.38\00:02:37.75
And besides cooking,
00:02:37.79\00:02:40.82
I understand we do
have something in common.
00:02:40.86\00:02:43.09
We are both
musicians. You're a singer.
00:02:43.12\00:02:44.99
Yes, I sing,
yes. Wonderful. Great.
00:02:45.03\00:02:47.10
Yes. My dad is a
great singer. Yes.
00:02:47.13\00:02:50.27
And he's the one
that introduced me
00:02:50.30\00:02:52.10
in at a very early age.
00:02:52.13\00:02:53.47
So we used to sing
together in church.
00:02:53.50\00:02:55.17
Oh, how wonderful.
00:02:55.20\00:02:56.54
So I do have an
album Petals of Love.
00:02:56.57\00:02:58.64
Okay. And
beautiful music videos.
00:02:58.67\00:03:01.24
Everything is on my website.
00:03:01.28\00:03:02.64
All free downloads of my music.
00:03:02.68\00:03:04.95
Great. Yes.
00:03:04.98\00:03:06.31
And all the recipes
and everything is there
00:03:06.35\00:03:08.48
SweetSoothingMusic.com.
00:03:08.52\00:03:11.45
SweetSoothingMusic.com.
00:03:11.49\00:03:13.72
So your dad was
your musical influence.
00:03:13.76\00:03:16.83
Who was your cooking influence?
00:03:16.86\00:03:20.30
I had a really good aunt
that cooks very tasty food.
00:03:20.33\00:03:24.50
My mom does too very
good, but when I was in college,
00:03:24.53\00:03:28.57
I saw her
cooking and I was like,
00:03:28.60\00:03:30.37
"Wow, I must cook like her."
00:03:30.41\00:03:32.44
Were you raised in India?
00:03:32.47\00:03:34.04
Yes. I was till...
00:03:34.08\00:03:35.41
Till I was 17 years old,
00:03:35.44\00:03:36.85
I was in India
and then we migrated.
00:03:36.88\00:03:39.11
My dad was a missionary
medical doctor in Jamaica.
00:03:39.15\00:03:42.98
He worked there for 30 years.
00:03:43.02\00:03:44.99
He retired there. Now he's 85.
00:03:45.02\00:03:47.56
And he's still volunteering
his services in India.
00:03:47.59\00:03:50.49
Oh, wonderful. Yes.
00:03:50.53\00:03:51.86
That is marvelous. Yes.
00:03:51.89\00:03:53.29
So he's still working.
00:03:53.33\00:03:54.66
He said, "As long
as the Lord blesses me,
00:03:54.70\00:03:56.83
I'm going to keep working."
00:03:56.87\00:03:58.57
So they're really
aren't any like chefs were
00:03:58.60\00:04:01.80
that's what they
did for a living,
00:04:01.84\00:04:03.27
you do this kind of
00:04:03.30\00:04:04.64
you create your own
recipes that's kind...
00:04:04.67\00:04:07.08
You know, I mean, I
just love tasty food
00:04:07.11\00:04:11.18
and healthy food.
00:04:11.21\00:04:13.31
So we have to just
tweak it a little bit
00:04:13.35\00:04:16.02
and add with the Indian spices,
00:04:16.05\00:04:18.15
it just brings out
such a rich flavor.
00:04:18.19\00:04:21.96
So I just started doing this,
really I never thought I would,
00:04:21.99\00:04:26.49
but I know the Micheff
Sisters introduced me to this.
00:04:26.53\00:04:30.57
And ever since then,
00:04:30.60\00:04:32.67
it wasn't me but
the Lord had a plan.
00:04:32.70\00:04:36.04
And He brought me here,
00:04:36.07\00:04:37.44
and I'm ever so thankful to 3ABN
00:04:37.47\00:04:40.71
for giving me this opportunity
00:04:40.74\00:04:42.11
so I can share
with the entire world.
00:04:42.14\00:04:44.01
For sure.
00:04:44.05\00:04:45.38
Well, I am ever so excited
00:04:45.41\00:04:46.75
because this is
my first opportunity
00:04:46.78\00:04:49.28
to really be in the kitchen.
00:04:49.32\00:04:50.82
I don't know if
I made somebody mad
00:04:50.85\00:04:53.82
that they're doing this as a...
00:04:53.86\00:04:55.59
Actually, it may hurt
you worse than it hurts me.
00:04:55.62\00:04:58.43
No, but you're a
singer, I'm a singer.
00:04:58.46\00:05:00.16
Okay, we'll sing
our way through it.
00:05:00.20\00:05:01.60
Yes! And I think we are great.
00:05:01.63\00:05:05.07
We have a great
taste for also food.
00:05:05.10\00:05:07.44
I think we're right. Exactly.
00:05:07.47\00:05:09.07
And we've got a list of dishes
that you're preparing today.
00:05:09.10\00:05:13.04
Yes.
00:05:13.07\00:05:14.41
Oh, my goodness, this
will be really just...
00:05:14.44\00:05:17.68
Well, I'm just...
You're gonna learn a lot.
00:05:17.71\00:05:19.61
I'm going to learn a lot.
00:05:19.65\00:05:21.02
And you've got
all the ingredients.
00:05:21.05\00:05:23.12
Ingredients here
for our first dish.
00:05:23.15\00:05:25.25
Yeah.
00:05:25.29\00:05:26.62
So I think I'll
just read off the list
00:05:26.65\00:05:28.49
of what we're going to
actually be preparing today.
00:05:28.52\00:05:31.09
We'll start with
a vegan quinoa...
00:05:31.13\00:05:33.56
Kichidi.
00:05:33.60\00:05:34.93
Kichidi. Correct.
00:05:34.96\00:05:36.30
And then we'll do
vegan red bell pepper
00:05:36.33\00:05:38.47
and lima bean curry.
00:05:38.50\00:05:40.90
Indian style chard saute. Yes.
00:05:40.94\00:05:44.34
Vegan riced
cauliflower with lime.
00:05:44.37\00:05:46.88
I've heard a lot
about the rice cauliflower.
00:05:46.91\00:05:50.25
Vegan red lentil
and spinach dhal,
00:05:50.28\00:05:53.62
and then we'll
finish with a nice dessert
00:05:53.65\00:05:56.08
vegan coconut ladoo.
00:05:56.12\00:05:57.85
Ladoo. Ladoo.
00:05:57.89\00:05:59.22
Yeah, you got it.
00:05:59.25\00:06:00.59
Yeah, those are
great, fun words to say that.
00:06:00.62\00:06:02.89
I will start with that kichidi.
00:06:02.92\00:06:04.69
It sounds like chickadee,
00:06:04.73\00:06:06.06
but I promise that
there's no chickadee in it.
00:06:06.09\00:06:08.43
For this dish you will need:
00:06:08.46\00:06:10.27
That sounds wonderful.
00:06:57.51\00:06:59.68
And it sounds like
a lot of ingredients.
00:06:59.71\00:07:01.25
Yes. But...
00:07:01.28\00:07:02.72
But you will see the
quinoa totally transformed.
00:07:02.75\00:07:06.45
Right.
00:07:06.49\00:07:07.82
Quinoa is something
that's kind of a bland thing
00:07:07.86\00:07:10.66
or by itself it's
not really too desirable.
00:07:10.69\00:07:13.36
Yes, but you will taste mine,
00:07:13.40\00:07:15.06
you will see
how wonderful it is.
00:07:15.10\00:07:17.17
This is gonna be explosive.
00:07:17.20\00:07:18.53
So first I
already have the oil hot,
00:07:18.57\00:07:20.74
so I'm going to
put the mustard seeds
00:07:20.77\00:07:23.34
that's our first step,
00:07:23.37\00:07:25.27
and then do you
see them popping?
00:07:25.31\00:07:27.08
Yes. Yeah, on that oil.
00:07:27.11\00:07:28.58
Yes. So we have it ready. Yeah.
00:07:28.61\00:07:31.21
So now I put
the dry ingredients.
00:07:31.25\00:07:34.05
Cloves. Cloves, cardamom.
00:07:34.08\00:07:35.98
Garlic.
00:07:36.02\00:07:38.15
I think it's
getting very hot. No.
00:07:38.19\00:07:40.66
I'm gonna put it down. Yeah.
00:07:40.69\00:07:43.32
Popping.
00:07:43.36\00:07:44.86
It's good stuff. Yeah.
00:07:44.89\00:07:47.26
Bay leaves.
00:07:47.30\00:07:48.63
Bay leaves, cinnamon sticks.
00:07:48.66\00:07:50.00
Well, cinnamon
sticks? That's great.
00:07:50.03\00:07:52.77
Whole.
00:07:52.80\00:07:54.44
Whole cinnamon
sticks. Yeah, that's neat.
00:07:54.47\00:07:56.57
See, when they're
sauted in the spices,
00:07:56.60\00:08:00.48
you can smell
beautiful, the aroma.
00:08:00.51\00:08:05.45
So is there reason
00:08:06.51\00:08:07.85
why you wouldn't use
like powder cinnamon?
00:08:07.88\00:08:11.79
This is just a better way.
00:08:11.82\00:08:13.56
This is better when
it's just sauted in the oil,
00:08:13.59\00:08:17.83
then you can just get all the,
00:08:17.86\00:08:21.43
you know, just the
flavors infuse into quinoa dish.
00:08:21.46\00:08:25.43
Yeah. Just it
will be distributed.
00:08:25.47\00:08:27.84
Now, you have to wait
00:08:27.87\00:08:29.87
till this is
slightly brown color,
00:08:29.90\00:08:33.27
and I know we
can't wait that long
00:08:33.31\00:08:35.28
so we'll move right along.
00:08:35.31\00:08:36.71
All right.
00:08:36.75\00:08:39.21
What is that you have here?
00:08:39.25\00:08:40.58
This is ginger and garlic paste.
00:08:40.62\00:08:42.45
Is that something
that you buy or homemade?
00:08:42.48\00:08:44.39
Now, this is
homemade. I made it.
00:08:44.42\00:08:45.82
Okay, something you made.
00:08:45.85\00:08:47.19
Yes, it's just equal
amount of ginger and garlic
00:08:47.22\00:08:50.83
and you just, you
know, with some water.
00:08:50.86\00:08:53.23
Okay. You just make it.
00:08:53.26\00:08:55.23
So if I need it,
00:08:55.26\00:08:57.97
if got to that
point in the recipe
00:08:58.00\00:08:59.73
and didn't know how to do that.
00:08:59.77\00:09:01.37
I could call you,
couldn't I? Absolutely.
00:09:01.40\00:09:05.31
My number is (813) 325-5783.
00:09:05.34\00:09:11.01
Okay, duly noted
00:09:11.05\00:09:13.62
because I'm gonna
need to call you, I'm sure.
00:09:13.65\00:09:17.02
And see now I'm
gonna put the tomatoes.
00:09:17.05\00:09:19.45
Okay, so you're gonna
leave these spices out.
00:09:19.49\00:09:21.56
No, just right now.
00:09:21.59\00:09:22.92
Right now I'm
gonna put the spices.
00:09:22.96\00:09:25.73
Okay, after the tomato.
00:09:25.76\00:09:27.20
So get that tomato going.
00:09:27.23\00:09:28.56
Yeah, because if I put this oil
00:09:28.60\00:09:32.23
that's the curry powder
00:09:32.27\00:09:33.60
and this is the turmeric powder,
00:09:33.64\00:09:37.01
and we don't want
you to start sneezing
00:09:37.04\00:09:40.21
if I put the curry powder.
00:09:40.24\00:09:42.01
Okay. Yes, you will be smelling.
00:09:42.04\00:09:45.18
So the tomatoes need to
get to a certain texture or...?
00:09:45.21\00:09:48.35
Yes, very soft.
00:09:48.38\00:09:50.19
They have to cook nice and
soft like a nice thick gravy.
00:09:50.22\00:09:54.76
And in this just for a
few minutes you let the...
00:09:54.79\00:09:58.49
But put salt in it,
and then you put the lid.
00:09:58.53\00:10:04.33
When you put the lid,
00:10:04.37\00:10:06.43
it will actually
bring on all the juices
00:10:06.47\00:10:08.94
and then it cooks
and more gravy is formed.
00:10:08.97\00:10:11.91
Oh, nice. Yeah, it'll come.
00:10:11.94\00:10:13.64
So this would need to
cook for like how long?
00:10:13.68\00:10:16.01
Like just, you can
see the tomatoes are soft.
00:10:16.04\00:10:18.91
Okay. Then...
00:10:18.95\00:10:20.28
Watch, keep an eye on
it. Yeah, keep an eye on it.
00:10:20.32\00:10:22.08
Nice.
00:10:22.12\00:10:23.45
We want the
tomatoes to be nice and soft.
00:10:23.49\00:10:27.26
See that, they're getting soft.
00:10:27.29\00:10:29.82
You can just see that I can...
00:10:29.86\00:10:32.16
I love the color of
that, it's such a beautiful...
00:10:32.19\00:10:35.50
Yes, nice red color. Yeah.
00:10:35.53\00:10:37.77
So right away in this,
00:10:37.80\00:10:39.93
we can add the masoor dhal
00:10:39.97\00:10:45.57
and the mixed vegetables.
00:10:45.61\00:10:47.04
Actually I'll put
the vegetables first.
00:10:47.08\00:10:49.04
So now we're
trying to coat the spices
00:10:55.48\00:10:58.79
to all these mixed vegetables
and next it's red lentils.
00:10:58.82\00:11:03.86
I'm gonna put the red lentils.
00:11:03.89\00:11:05.59
So those coming right out of...
00:11:05.63\00:11:07.20
And what I did was red
lentils, I just soak them.
00:11:07.23\00:11:10.57
Yes. So they cook faster.
00:11:10.60\00:11:12.90
Red lentils are the
ones that cook very fast.
00:11:12.93\00:11:15.84
You can use split
peas from the store,
00:11:15.87\00:11:18.21
but they don't
cook as fast as quinoa,
00:11:18.24\00:11:20.58
they don't cook as fast as rice.
00:11:20.61\00:11:22.74
So I choose, you know,
00:11:22.78\00:11:24.88
this my choice
for the red lentils
00:11:24.91\00:11:26.85
is because they cook fast.
00:11:26.88\00:11:28.25
Cook fast.
00:11:28.28\00:11:29.62
Yeah, you know, when I'm hungry
I'm ready to eat right then,
00:11:29.65\00:11:31.95
I don't have time to
wait for something to cook.
00:11:31.99\00:11:34.02
But the split
peas take a long time.
00:11:34.06\00:11:36.02
Right.
00:11:36.06\00:11:37.39
Do you see now I
mixed all the ingredients,
00:11:37.43\00:11:39.73
and I'm gonna add the quinoa.
00:11:39.76\00:11:41.53
Yes.
00:11:41.56\00:11:42.90
And also let the quinoa...
00:11:42.93\00:11:44.33
And quinoa, we
rinsed it at least two times
00:11:44.37\00:11:47.37
so the bitter taste is
gone, and then you add...
00:11:47.40\00:11:51.94
Yes.
00:11:51.97\00:11:53.31
I used white quinoa.
00:11:55.54\00:11:56.91
You can use, you
know, there's other colors.
00:11:56.95\00:11:59.58
I think you can use anything,
00:11:59.61\00:12:01.58
but this will truly
transform the taste of quinoa.
00:12:01.62\00:12:05.92
Right.
00:12:05.95\00:12:07.29
So if you have a
large supply of quinoa
00:12:07.32\00:12:10.96
that no one in your
family is real a fan of,
00:12:10.99\00:12:14.63
this would be a
great way to mix it up.
00:12:14.66\00:12:16.00
Yeah! They can try that.
00:12:16.03\00:12:18.17
Did you see that
quinoa plus lentils?
00:12:18.20\00:12:22.47
You know, I
have mixed vegetables
00:12:22.50\00:12:23.94
so this is like a one...
00:12:23.97\00:12:25.74
Totally one pot. One pot meal.
00:12:25.77\00:12:27.81
So if and this even cooks
you can put it in instapot,
00:12:27.84\00:12:30.88
you know, they have it,
and you can just saute it
00:12:30.91\00:12:32.98
and just put it in there.
00:12:33.01\00:12:34.35
Or you can saute in there too.
00:12:34.38\00:12:35.72
Just a couple of days ago,
I was just making the quinoa,
00:12:35.75\00:12:38.22
I just, it was so bland
00:12:38.25\00:12:40.06
and I'm thinking
something needs to happen here.
00:12:40.09\00:12:42.06
Wow.
00:12:42.09\00:12:43.43
This is what
needs to happen. Yes.
00:12:43.46\00:12:44.79
And then we'll
add a little salt.
00:12:44.83\00:12:47.16
And now that all the
spices are coated well.
00:12:47.20\00:12:52.13
I'm going to take this mixture
00:12:52.17\00:12:54.77
and I'm going to add
it on to the rice cooker.
00:12:54.80\00:12:59.07
I like to put it
in the rice cooker.
00:12:59.11\00:13:00.78
Yes. So it cooks fast.
00:13:00.81\00:13:02.14
So if you can help me.
00:13:02.18\00:13:03.51
Okay, yes, I will
take this and this,
00:13:03.55\00:13:06.21
and then I will
let you do honor.
00:13:06.25\00:13:10.39
Yes. We'll put it
a little bit more.
00:13:10.42\00:13:12.52
Do you see the color?
00:13:16.36\00:13:17.69
It's beautiful.
It really is great.
00:13:17.73\00:13:19.46
Yes.
00:13:19.49\00:13:20.83
All those flavors
and all the colors.
00:13:20.86\00:13:22.86
And the smell.
You can see the aroma.
00:13:22.90\00:13:25.17
Man, this would be a hit.
00:13:25.20\00:13:28.54
And it really...
00:13:28.57\00:13:29.94
I mean, even though I
have several ingredients,
00:13:29.97\00:13:32.14
it's not difficult at all.
00:13:32.17\00:13:33.51
You just follow in.
00:13:33.54\00:13:34.88
Yes. And now I add the water.
00:13:34.91\00:13:36.48
For one cup of
quinoa, two cups of water.
00:13:36.51\00:13:39.08
Okay.
00:13:39.11\00:13:40.45
And I added the salt.
00:13:40.48\00:13:41.92
We need to just
check and make sure
00:13:41.95\00:13:43.75
and add more salt if you need.
00:13:43.79\00:13:45.35
You just taste the
water and you do that,
00:13:45.39\00:13:48.22
and we just,
00:13:48.26\00:13:50.73
if you can open this up for me.
00:13:50.76\00:13:52.43
Yes.
00:13:52.46\00:13:55.16
Now I'm just
gonna put this in here.
00:13:55.20\00:13:57.33
In the rice cooker.
00:13:57.37\00:13:58.80
Cooker, and then just put it,
00:13:58.83\00:14:00.60
and then just
press a little button
00:14:00.64\00:14:02.97
and everything will be
done in about half an hour.
00:14:03.00\00:14:06.91
Perfectly, but in 10 minutes,
00:14:06.94\00:14:09.04
you need to open this up
00:14:09.08\00:14:10.68
and just mix it again
from way from the bottom.
00:14:10.71\00:14:14.25
And then in just
before another 10 minutes,
00:14:14.28\00:14:17.15
then you just take the cilantro
00:14:17.19\00:14:19.12
and sprinkle it all
around and just close it.
00:14:19.15\00:14:24.03
We don't have to worry,
00:14:24.06\00:14:25.39
it just cooks so
beautifully and evenly,
00:14:25.43\00:14:27.90
all the spices are infused
throughout the entire dish.
00:14:27.93\00:14:31.13
And it tastes delicious.
00:14:31.17\00:14:32.77
I want you to try that and
then tell me how it tastes.
00:14:32.80\00:14:36.67
And I know you have...
00:14:36.71\00:14:38.24
I prepared that already.
00:14:38.27\00:14:41.34
Now, that's the way
quinoa ought to taste.
00:14:41.38\00:14:44.48
Wow, that is
really, really good.
00:14:44.51\00:14:47.38
I think once you taste it
00:14:47.42\00:14:49.42
and see, I know
there's a lot of ingredients
00:14:49.45\00:14:51.22
but...
00:14:51.25\00:14:52.59
That is like a comfort food.
00:14:52.62\00:14:53.96
I mean, I could
just sit and eat that.
00:14:53.99\00:14:56.49
Yes.
00:14:56.52\00:14:57.86
But it's a truly a hearty
meal with everything in it.
00:14:57.89\00:14:59.23
Oh, it's very hearty.
00:14:59.26\00:15:00.70
Yeah, it's kind of dense,
00:15:00.73\00:15:02.50
but the flavor,
so packed of flavor.
00:15:02.53\00:15:04.73
I really like that.
00:15:04.77\00:15:06.10
That is wonderful.
00:15:06.13\00:15:07.47
Thank you so
much. Now do you grow?
00:15:07.50\00:15:08.84
Do you have a garden
where you grow some...?
00:15:08.87\00:15:11.54
Yes, I have curry
leaves. I have cilantro.
00:15:11.57\00:15:14.98
I like to use things
fresh, my fresh herbs.
00:15:15.01\00:15:17.51
Right. Yeah,
well, that's wonderful.
00:15:17.55\00:15:20.05
I highly recommend that dish.
00:15:20.08\00:15:21.98
So I'm going to take
this one home with me.
00:15:22.02\00:15:24.65
Yes. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
00:15:24.69\00:15:26.32
And your phone number,
00:15:26.35\00:15:27.69
I'm calling you
for that the paste,
00:15:27.72\00:15:29.52
what was the ginger?
00:15:29.56\00:15:30.89
Ginger garlic paste.
00:15:30.93\00:15:32.26
Ginger garlic paste. Yes.
00:15:32.29\00:15:33.63
That's handy to have one in.
00:15:33.66\00:15:35.00
But that's because
that's the flavor that you get
00:15:35.03\00:15:37.60
is because you have
the ginger garlic paste
00:15:37.63\00:15:39.67
and the onions and the tomatoes.
00:15:39.70\00:15:42.30
You know, when you
have that base of tomatoes
00:15:42.34\00:15:45.27
along with all these spices,
it just enhances the taste.
00:15:45.31\00:15:49.11
That is some
really good stuff. Yes.
00:15:49.14\00:15:51.01
I like that. I like that.
00:15:51.05\00:15:52.41
Well, let's move on to
this vegan red bell pepper
00:15:52.45\00:15:55.82
and lima bean curry.
00:15:55.85\00:15:57.42
I can already tell
00:16:32.59\00:16:33.92
this is going
to be a great dish.
00:16:33.96\00:16:35.76
It's so colorful,
already the ingredients here,
00:16:35.79\00:16:39.19
the peppers are
especially bright
00:16:39.23\00:16:41.80
so lima beans
00:16:41.83\00:16:43.16
that's an
interesting ingredient for this.
00:16:43.20\00:16:46.47
Yeah, a lot of people
that don't like lima beans,
00:16:46.50\00:16:49.00
this is an amazing dish.
00:16:49.04\00:16:50.37
They can try this.
00:16:50.41\00:16:51.74
And they will love the flavor.
00:16:51.77\00:16:53.68
What is going to
transform the lima bean
00:16:53.71\00:16:56.08
just all the other
spices and flavoring.
00:16:56.11\00:16:57.45
Flavoring, yes, that I'm using.
00:16:57.48\00:16:59.91
I think this oil is hot.
00:16:59.95\00:17:02.62
Now the first
ingredient is mustard seeds.
00:17:02.65\00:17:05.02
It's tiny but...
00:17:05.05\00:17:06.92
Powerful. The
flavor is powerful.
00:17:06.96\00:17:10.29
You can see that it's
slowly starting to sizzle.
00:17:10.33\00:17:13.73
And then we'll add
the cumin seeds here.
00:17:13.76\00:17:16.36
Cumin also has a
lot of health benefits,
00:17:16.40\00:17:19.60
which is really good.
00:17:19.63\00:17:21.00
It's the only thing
is that you need to saute
00:17:21.04\00:17:24.87
till the mustard
seeds start popping.
00:17:24.91\00:17:27.88
Okay.
00:17:27.91\00:17:29.24
You know, once
they start popping
00:17:29.28\00:17:30.91
then you know that the flavor
and the aroma you can smell.
00:17:30.95\00:17:36.28
You know, but the
oil has to be really hot.
00:17:36.32\00:17:38.89
It's not that hot yet,
00:17:38.92\00:17:41.29
but we'll just
pretend that that's hot
00:17:41.32\00:17:45.29
because it's gonna
take a little while
00:17:45.33\00:17:47.53
and once you see the
mustard seeds sputtering
00:17:47.56\00:17:50.93
then we'll add the...
00:17:50.97\00:17:53.13
So we can... Onions.
00:17:53.17\00:17:54.50
We might be able
to just wait a second
00:17:54.54\00:17:55.94
and we can mention
your phone number again.
00:17:55.97\00:17:59.57
I just want, I hate
to drive a point home.
00:17:59.61\00:18:02.08
Well, I guess in
this case I need to
00:18:02.11\00:18:03.85
because of we make sure that
00:18:03.88\00:18:05.45
you're open to
people calling you.
00:18:05.48\00:18:06.82
Yes, I am.
00:18:06.85\00:18:08.18
And a lot of people do call me
00:18:08.22\00:18:09.55
because they do
have a lot of questions.
00:18:09.58\00:18:10.92
Yeah.
00:18:10.95\00:18:12.29
So (813) 325-5783.
00:18:12.32\00:18:16.62
And you live in the
Tampa, Florida area?
00:18:16.66\00:18:19.49
Florida. Yes.
Okay, it's wonderful.
00:18:19.53\00:18:21.60
We live, and we grow
everything tropical there.
00:18:21.63\00:18:24.50
So my curry
leaves and everything
00:18:24.53\00:18:27.20
I pick from my
backyard and use it fresh.
00:18:27.24\00:18:29.44
Nice. That makes a difference.
00:18:29.47\00:18:31.27
And I know to buy
it in the Indian store.
00:18:31.31\00:18:33.34
It's a little expensive
00:18:33.38\00:18:34.71
because you just get a little
00:18:34.74\00:18:36.08
but for me I just run outside,
get it fresh and then come.
00:18:36.11\00:18:38.78
Wow. Yes.
00:18:38.81\00:18:40.18
So it's all, fresh
makes a difference.
00:18:40.22\00:18:42.48
You have lucky neighbors.
00:18:42.52\00:18:45.45
So now I'm
putting green chilies.
00:18:45.49\00:18:49.79
Nice. Chopped. Yes.
00:18:49.82\00:18:51.49
And remember, that
green chilies if you...
00:18:51.53\00:18:54.76
Yeah, you can deseed if
you don't like them hot,
00:18:54.80\00:18:57.53
but if you like
them, you can use it.
00:18:57.57\00:18:59.23
Just one chili or two chilies
00:18:59.27\00:19:01.00
depending on
what you can tolerate.
00:19:01.04\00:19:03.24
And these are the curry leaves
00:19:03.27\00:19:04.61
that just add some
really nice flavor.
00:19:04.64\00:19:06.91
Curry leaves. Curry leaves.
00:19:06.94\00:19:08.54
Yeah, somebody
called me and said,
00:19:08.58\00:19:10.51
"I can just use curry leaves
00:19:10.55\00:19:12.51
and don't have to
use curry powder?"
00:19:12.55\00:19:13.88
No, that doesn't work that
00:19:13.92\00:19:15.28
but this is just a
name is curry leaf,
00:19:15.32\00:19:18.09
but it's just like cilantro.
00:19:18.12\00:19:19.45
Oh, okay. Okay.
00:19:19.49\00:19:20.92
It doesn't do
anything more than that.
00:19:20.96\00:19:24.06
Okay.
00:19:24.09\00:19:25.43
For this I just, you know,
00:19:25.46\00:19:26.80
very simple
recipes for some of them
00:19:26.83\00:19:28.86
we use ginger and garlic paste,
00:19:28.90\00:19:30.80
for this I'm not using
ginger and garlic paste
00:19:30.83\00:19:33.80
even we thawed the
ginger and garlic paste.
00:19:33.84\00:19:36.57
It just tastes very
good, really nice flavor.
00:19:36.60\00:19:40.28
And if you wanna cook
this onions really fast,
00:19:40.31\00:19:42.64
you just add a
little salt to that.
00:19:42.68\00:19:45.41
So what makes it...?
00:19:45.45\00:19:46.78
It just softens,
it just softens the...
00:19:46.82\00:19:49.15
Softens the onions.
00:19:49.18\00:19:50.52
Yeah, softens and
then it cooks fast.
00:19:50.55\00:19:52.05
You know if you like,
you can put the lid on
00:19:52.09\00:19:54.09
and it'll cook faster.
00:19:54.12\00:19:55.62
You know if you
want to make things
00:19:55.66\00:19:57.89
cook fast and then,
00:19:57.93\00:20:00.26
now that this is
turning a little light brown,
00:20:00.30\00:20:05.17
we will add the lima beans...
00:20:05.20\00:20:06.77
These are frozen
lima bean baby...
00:20:06.80\00:20:08.17
That I thawed. Yes,
baby not the big ones.
00:20:08.20\00:20:11.11
These are baby lima beans
that will taste really good.
00:20:11.14\00:20:14.21
You can just put
the baby lima beans,
00:20:14.24\00:20:17.88
and then you add the turmeric...
00:20:17.91\00:20:22.78
So is this a dish
that you came up with...?
00:20:22.82\00:20:26.49
Yes, I just made up my
own. End of your routine.
00:20:26.52\00:20:28.82
Yes. And this is
the curry powder.
00:20:28.86\00:20:32.16
Yes, this is that, you know,
00:20:32.19\00:20:33.93
I just tried to mix
everything and make something...
00:20:33.96\00:20:36.43
Because lima beans like I
say, are kind of random I said,
00:20:36.46\00:20:39.50
you know, random ingredient.
00:20:39.53\00:20:41.64
Something that's
regularly available in India.
00:20:41.67\00:20:45.21
No, not really.
00:20:45.24\00:20:46.57
In India we have
different kind of beans.
00:20:46.61\00:20:48.74
So, but I
substituted and then I use this.
00:20:48.78\00:20:52.81
So now you just wait
00:20:52.85\00:20:54.48
and then just make
sure all the spices
00:20:54.52\00:20:57.59
are beautifully coated.
00:20:57.62\00:20:59.32
You can just cook this for,
00:20:59.35\00:21:01.16
you know, three to
four minutes a little bit,
00:21:01.19\00:21:04.06
and then you add
the red bell peppers.
00:21:04.09\00:21:08.83
I'm fascinated...
00:21:08.86\00:21:10.20
See the red bell pepper
and the green bell peppers.
00:21:10.23\00:21:12.20
So the combination of
flavors just is beautiful.
00:21:12.23\00:21:15.90
Look at the color.
00:21:15.94\00:21:17.27
Yeah, it's just nice.
00:21:17.31\00:21:19.17
Yes. Do you see that?
00:21:19.21\00:21:20.54
And really, I don't know
if you have tasted a curried,
00:21:20.58\00:21:25.25
you know, bell pepper,
but it really tastes amazing.
00:21:25.28\00:21:29.78
Really, really good flavor.
00:21:29.82\00:21:32.82
You know, you need to
put a little salt in this
00:21:32.85\00:21:35.76
because you added beans
00:21:35.79\00:21:38.09
and, you know,
just a little bit,
00:21:38.13\00:21:41.66
and then we'll
mix it all together.
00:21:41.70\00:21:43.97
So is there a big difference
00:21:44.00\00:21:45.33
between like the Indian
curry and like Thai curry?
00:21:45.37\00:21:49.34
Yes. There's a big difference.
00:21:49.37\00:21:50.74
Oh, yeah. The
ingredients are totally...
00:21:50.77\00:21:52.11
That's another program.
Yeah, that's, you know...
00:21:52.14\00:21:54.31
Don't be confusing
your Thai and your Indian.
00:21:54.34\00:21:56.11
No, no, no. Okay.
00:21:56.14\00:21:57.48
So if you want this taste,
00:21:57.51\00:21:59.11
you need to get the curry powder
00:21:59.15\00:22:00.58
from the Indian store.
00:22:00.62\00:22:01.95
West Indians have a
different curry powder.
00:22:01.98\00:22:03.85
Jamaicans use a
different curry powder,
00:22:03.89\00:22:06.02
you know, every curry
powder is slightly different,
00:22:06.05\00:22:08.42
there's variations.
00:22:08.46\00:22:10.13
Just because it
is says curry powder,
00:22:10.16\00:22:12.23
it doesn't mean it
has the same ingredients.
00:22:12.26\00:22:14.80
I'm from South India
00:22:14.83\00:22:16.26
so ours is
different from North India.
00:22:16.30\00:22:19.00
Even in India we
have different, different.
00:22:19.03\00:22:22.00
Yes, it's not the
same curry powder.
00:22:22.04\00:22:23.37
That's why I could never
get my curries to taste right.
00:22:23.41\00:22:27.64
So now I would close the lid
00:22:27.68\00:22:30.25
and let it cook for
about five minutes or so.
00:22:30.28\00:22:33.55
And just let that
soften a little bit,
00:22:33.58\00:22:36.72
you know, the beans
are cooked with the spices
00:22:36.75\00:22:38.85
and the red pepper and
the, you know, bell pepper,
00:22:38.89\00:22:41.82
and then I will add
the tomatoes in this,
00:22:41.86\00:22:45.93
and then let it
cook for another minute.
00:22:45.96\00:22:47.93
Now, the tomatoes will give it
like a nice thick gravy to it.
00:22:47.96\00:22:51.40
I like to use vine-ripe tomatoes
00:22:51.43\00:22:53.13
because they taste really good.
00:22:53.17\00:22:55.34
Now this dish is high-protein,
00:22:55.37\00:22:58.04
you have lima beans
00:22:58.07\00:23:00.64
which is very high in
protein and low in calories.
00:23:00.68\00:23:03.91
And the red bell peppers
are very high in vitamin C
00:23:03.95\00:23:07.95
and vitamin A.
00:23:07.98\00:23:09.68
Yes, so it's
really, really a great dish.
00:23:09.72\00:23:12.95
Everybody
should try this. Right.
00:23:12.99\00:23:15.32
And I'm going to add
this tomatoes, we would...
00:23:15.36\00:23:18.16
Let it cook a little
longer. Sure, sure, sure.
00:23:18.19\00:23:20.16
You know, on medium high
00:23:20.20\00:23:21.53
but all the
instructions are there
00:23:21.56\00:23:22.90
when I gave the directions.
00:23:22.93\00:23:24.27
Right, which
are on your website.
00:23:24.30\00:23:25.73
Yes. The recipes on...
00:23:25.77\00:23:27.10
And the 3ABN website
also has all the recipes
00:23:27.14\00:23:30.34
they can go there and
we just have to make sure
00:23:30.37\00:23:32.94
when you add the tomatoes,
00:23:32.97\00:23:34.31
just to make
sure the salt is even.
00:23:34.34\00:23:37.28
And just put a
little salt there.
00:23:37.31\00:23:40.62
And when I put the tomatoes,
00:23:40.65\00:23:43.05
you must close it with the lid
00:23:43.08\00:23:46.89
and let it cook on a low...
00:23:46.92\00:23:49.72
Like in a medium heat.
00:23:49.76\00:23:51.46
So that will soften the tomatoes
00:23:51.49\00:23:54.40
and now all the
tomatoes and the bell peppers
00:23:54.43\00:23:57.47
and the lima beans together
00:23:57.50\00:23:59.70
when they're cooked
with the curry powder
00:23:59.73\00:24:01.57
and all these other
little mustard seeds
00:24:01.60\00:24:03.57
and cumin seeds, it's
just wonderful flavor.
00:24:03.61\00:24:07.38
Now if this is...
00:24:07.41\00:24:09.01
You can tell when
it's all coming together,
00:24:09.04\00:24:11.28
it's almost cooked
just a minute or two
00:24:11.31\00:24:13.85
before then I add the
cilantro because the cilantro,
00:24:13.88\00:24:18.42
we don't wanna put too early
then you won't really taste it.
00:24:18.45\00:24:21.32
So I noticed on
the last dish the...
00:24:21.36\00:24:23.83
Kichidi.
00:24:23.86\00:24:25.19
We will put the
cilantro in last as well.
00:24:25.23\00:24:26.56
Yes.
00:24:26.59\00:24:27.93
Yes, so we follow basically
the same for all dishes,
00:24:27.96\00:24:30.67
all the Indian dishes.
00:24:30.70\00:24:32.27
We don't add it before
itself, we do a little later.
00:24:32.30\00:24:36.64
And see now this
is nicely cooking,
00:24:36.67\00:24:38.41
you can see that.
00:24:38.44\00:24:40.68
It's so pretty.
00:24:40.71\00:24:42.14
Yes, look at the colors.
00:24:42.18\00:24:43.65
I know it's getting
brighter and brighter.
00:24:43.68\00:24:45.91
See this is the cilantro.
00:24:45.95\00:24:47.98
I'm just gonna take it home
00:24:48.02\00:24:49.35
and look at it
and prepare those.
00:24:49.38\00:24:51.39
Really, really nice.
00:24:51.42\00:24:52.75
Yeah, red bell peppers
and the green bell peppers
00:24:52.79\00:24:55.62
see adds color, but
also flavor and nutrition.
00:24:55.66\00:24:59.83
They're just loaded, you know...
00:24:59.86\00:25:01.20
The God is so good
that make it pretty
00:25:01.23\00:25:03.47
and good for you.
00:25:03.50\00:25:05.03
Yeah.
00:25:05.07\00:25:06.40
We love and my goal
00:25:06.43\00:25:09.30
is to give really tasty
food to our 3ABN viewers.
00:25:09.34\00:25:14.88
Right. And there it is.
00:25:14.91\00:25:16.95
This is a dish that
you certainly have to try.
00:25:16.98\00:25:18.51
I want you to try that.
00:25:18.55\00:25:19.88
Oh, in fact,
since I mentioned that.
00:25:19.91\00:25:21.48
So I... I'm a fan
of lima beans anyway.
00:25:27.62\00:25:30.09
Oh, really. But that...
00:25:30.13\00:25:31.73
Do you see the lima?
00:25:31.76\00:25:33.09
Did you ever taste
lima beans like this?
00:25:33.13\00:25:34.53
No. No.
00:25:34.56\00:25:36.16
This is delicious. Yes.
00:25:36.20\00:25:37.73
The peppers.
00:25:37.77\00:25:39.53
Wow, what a flavor. Yeah.
00:25:39.57\00:25:41.20
Yeah, the red
bell peppers. Yeah.
00:25:41.24\00:25:42.57
If you just
cook it a little bit,
00:25:42.60\00:25:44.04
it really brings out the flavor.
00:25:44.07\00:25:45.77
That is really, really nice.
00:25:45.81\00:25:47.34
Yes, along with all
the curry and the spices.
00:25:47.38\00:25:50.81
Very good. I'm so
glad you like that.
00:25:50.85\00:25:53.85
Yes, I am going to
finish that for sure.
00:25:53.88\00:25:56.48
Yum yum.
00:25:56.52\00:25:57.85
Well, let's move on to
the Indian style chard saute.
00:25:57.89\00:26:01.29
I'm talking with my mouthful.
00:26:01.32\00:26:02.66
And that will get us our
Indian style chard saute.
00:26:27.12\00:26:30.49
Yes.
00:26:30.52\00:26:31.95
This we're
cutting back on the color
00:26:31.99\00:26:34.12
but we're going to just green.
00:26:34.16\00:26:36.02
Yes. I like this.
00:26:36.06\00:26:37.39
This is the chard. Yes.
00:26:37.43\00:26:38.93
And for all the vegetables
mostly we use the same...
00:26:38.96\00:26:42.23
Same you can see that.
00:26:42.26\00:26:43.90
Starting with the mustard seeds.
00:26:43.93\00:26:45.27
Yes, starting
with the mustard seeds.
00:26:45.30\00:26:47.04
And you can see them.
00:26:47.07\00:26:49.17
And I have it on high just...
00:26:49.20\00:26:51.54
Get that oil hot
so the seeds will pop.
00:26:51.57\00:26:53.98
Yes.
00:26:54.01\00:26:55.34
And then cumin seeds. Yes.
00:26:55.38\00:26:57.81
And urad dhal.
00:26:57.85\00:26:59.28
Now when you saute
these in oil, the flavor...
00:26:59.31\00:27:03.69
You have to saute it in oil
00:27:03.72\00:27:05.79
if not the
flavor is not released,
00:27:05.82\00:27:07.76
you know, you can't
smell plus the flavor
00:27:07.79\00:27:12.03
of mustard
seeds and cumin seeds.
00:27:12.06\00:27:13.96
So remind me what dhal is the...
00:27:14.00\00:27:16.56
Urad.
00:27:16.60\00:27:17.93
This is just split peas,
00:27:17.97\00:27:19.30
but it's a
different kind of peas.
00:27:19.33\00:27:20.67
Okay. Well, I was thinking...
This cooks very fast.
00:27:20.70\00:27:22.74
So I mean this
is a small quantity.
00:27:22.77\00:27:24.77
What does that...?
Because we're just flavor.
00:27:24.81\00:27:28.81
Okay, so it's
strictly the flavor.
00:27:28.84\00:27:30.85
It's just the flavor that,
00:27:30.88\00:27:32.35
you know, it's really
the greens are enhanced
00:27:32.38\00:27:34.85
by the flavor of this.
00:27:34.88\00:27:36.48
And now you can see them.
00:27:36.52\00:27:38.19
And urad dhal just one
more time is from is a...
00:27:38.22\00:27:41.52
It can be found in the
stores in Indian store.
00:27:41.56\00:27:43.89
Yes. Okay.
00:27:43.93\00:27:45.89
In the Indian store
you get cumin seeds,
00:27:45.93\00:27:47.90
as you notice, I
didn't use cumin powder,
00:27:47.93\00:27:50.93
but the cumin seeds for this
because when they have to be,
00:27:50.97\00:27:55.30
you know, just
saute it in the oil.
00:27:55.34\00:27:57.31
Now we just
pretend they're sputtering.
00:27:57.34\00:27:59.94
They're almost ready
too. They are. I see them.
00:27:59.97\00:28:01.54
Yeah, so then I'm
gonna add the onions.
00:28:01.58\00:28:03.71
This is white onion.
00:28:03.75\00:28:06.21
Yeah, I just wanted
something mild for the chard,
00:28:06.25\00:28:10.09
so I didn't want.
00:28:10.12\00:28:11.45
I thought, red
onion is just a little
00:28:11.49\00:28:14.22
too strong for that flavor.
00:28:14.26\00:28:17.26
Yes.
00:28:17.29\00:28:18.63
And now I will
just put some garlic.
00:28:18.66\00:28:21.13
Minced garlic. Chopped.
00:28:21.16\00:28:22.50
Yeah, minced
garlic, chopped garlic,
00:28:22.53\00:28:23.87
whatever, and the
chilies, green chilies.
00:28:23.90\00:28:29.97
And as I said, if you
don't want green chilies
00:28:30.01\00:28:31.97
you can cut back on
them, you want it little hotter
00:28:32.01\00:28:34.74
you can add a little bit more.
00:28:34.78\00:28:37.15
And these are my curry leaves.
00:28:37.18\00:28:39.55
And those are only can be
grown in you say a tropical.
00:28:39.58\00:28:43.45
Yeah, so you get it
in the Indian store.
00:28:43.49\00:28:45.39
Yeah. You know. So...
00:28:45.42\00:28:47.06
So those are
really, really pretty
00:28:47.09\00:28:48.56
and what a neat way to cook.
00:28:48.59\00:28:50.76
Yeah. And the flavor.
00:28:50.79\00:28:52.89
You can see the smell.
00:28:52.93\00:28:54.56
Oh, yeah.
00:28:54.60\00:28:55.93
Yeah, I can see
that and smell it.
00:28:55.96\00:28:57.47
Yes.
00:28:57.50\00:28:58.83
It looks great and smells great.
00:28:58.87\00:29:00.44
So it just has to
be light brown color.
00:29:00.47\00:29:03.27
What a great base.
00:29:03.30\00:29:04.64
And this gonna be nice. Yes.
00:29:04.67\00:29:06.01
And I know that this is loaded,
00:29:06.04\00:29:09.01
Swiss chard is
loaded with nutrients,
00:29:09.04\00:29:12.15
it has vitamin A and vitamin K.
00:29:12.18\00:29:15.75
And I'm telling you,
00:29:15.78\00:29:17.62
I know, kale, and
spinach, and all these greens.
00:29:17.65\00:29:20.76
And now they say
this is the super.
00:29:20.79\00:29:23.29
Kind of food it's
like the powerhouse.
00:29:23.32\00:29:25.96
You have so many nutrients in...
00:29:25.99\00:29:28.90
And there are several
different kinds of chards.
00:29:28.93\00:29:30.27
Yes.
00:29:30.30\00:29:31.63
And actually what I
did is I took the stalk out
00:29:31.67\00:29:34.20
because the stalk is very
thick and some people like it,
00:29:34.24\00:29:37.11
if you prefer you
just chop it very fine
00:29:37.14\00:29:39.87
and it will cook, but
it'll take longer to cook.
00:29:39.91\00:29:41.91
So maybe you add
00:29:41.94\00:29:43.28
it a little bit
early with the onions
00:29:43.31\00:29:44.81
and let that stalk cook,
00:29:44.85\00:29:46.25
and then you add
the leaves with them
00:29:46.28\00:29:47.72
it'll be evenly cooked.
00:29:47.75\00:29:49.08
Yeah, I'm just...
00:29:49.12\00:29:50.45
But then see
they're finally chopped.
00:29:50.49\00:29:51.82
Yes. Very nice.
00:29:51.85\00:29:53.19
You know, so
these are huge leaves.
00:29:53.22\00:29:54.56
So you just take the veins out,
00:29:54.59\00:29:55.92
and then you chop
them nice and fine.
00:29:55.96\00:29:57.89
And see these
are nice and brown.
00:29:57.93\00:29:59.43
So we'll just add the...
00:29:59.46\00:30:02.80
These are red chard.
00:30:02.83\00:30:04.17
Yeah, red chard.
00:30:04.20\00:30:05.53
They have rainbow chard.
00:30:05.57\00:30:07.00
They have this
Swiss chard so anything,
00:30:07.04\00:30:08.97
this recipe goes with anything.
00:30:09.00\00:30:11.27
So I have to admit I have not...
00:30:11.31\00:30:12.67
I don't think
I've ever eaten chard.
00:30:12.71\00:30:16.24
And, but I've stood
00:30:16.28\00:30:17.98
and looked at it
in the grocery store
00:30:18.01\00:30:20.22
and saw how beautiful it looks
and like the rainbow as well.
00:30:20.25\00:30:23.79
Yes.
00:30:23.82\00:30:25.45
But this is
something I can totally do
00:30:25.49\00:30:27.22
because it doesn't
have as many ingredients.
00:30:27.26\00:30:29.19
This is very simple. Yeah.
00:30:29.22\00:30:32.06
Easy-peasy.
00:30:32.09\00:30:33.43
I mean, it's
really, really simple.
00:30:33.46\00:30:35.50
Everybody loves greens. Yeah.
00:30:35.53\00:30:38.47
You know, even some
people that don't like greens,
00:30:38.50\00:30:41.04
they can try this recipe,
00:30:41.07\00:30:42.40
and I think they
will just love it.
00:30:42.44\00:30:44.84
Those spices are
gonna make this outstanding.
00:30:44.87\00:30:47.24
And I didn't put
that many spices.
00:30:47.28\00:30:49.44
I didn't use curry powder,
00:30:49.48\00:30:51.18
but I like to
close it with the lid
00:30:51.21\00:30:53.65
and just let it cook.
00:30:53.68\00:30:55.02
It doesn't have to overcook,
00:30:55.05\00:30:56.45
but we wanted to
cook a little bit.
00:30:56.48\00:30:58.19
Just where
they're some wilted or...
00:30:58.22\00:30:59.69
Yes. Okay.
00:30:59.72\00:31:01.06
And then, you know,
00:31:01.09\00:31:02.42
you can just see the taste
being transformed by garlic,
00:31:02.46\00:31:06.29
and onions, and the mustard,
00:31:06.33\00:31:08.20
and the cumin just these little.
00:31:08.23\00:31:09.76
I didn't even add
too many ingredients,
00:31:09.80\00:31:11.67
but once you get
these ingredients
00:31:11.70\00:31:13.50
and keep them you can use
them for all your vegetables.
00:31:13.54\00:31:16.77
Just follow my directions,
you know, from the recipes,
00:31:16.81\00:31:20.44
and you can see your
vegetables totally transformed.
00:31:20.48\00:31:23.35
Oh, no doubt.
00:31:23.38\00:31:24.71
Where they're just
they taste really good.
00:31:24.75\00:31:27.18
You see that?
It's just in a minute.
00:31:27.22\00:31:28.82
Oh yeah, it's like
very quick and easy.
00:31:28.85\00:31:31.29
Yeah, it's very
quick. I love that.
00:31:31.32\00:31:32.75
It doesn't take
long than five minutes.
00:31:32.79\00:31:34.49
No. That's it.
00:31:34.52\00:31:35.92
You know, it's
almost, almost done.
00:31:35.96\00:31:39.69
That's it.
00:31:39.73\00:31:41.06
And then I want
you to try and taste
00:31:41.10\00:31:43.77
and tell me how this tastes.
00:31:43.80\00:31:45.60
Yes.
00:31:45.63\00:31:46.97
It's tender.
00:31:50.54\00:31:51.87
I like the
tenderness of it and...
00:31:51.91\00:31:53.68
Yeah, you just need to...
00:31:53.71\00:31:55.04
Yeah, you just need to
just cook it a little bit,
00:31:55.08\00:31:57.58
but you can see the
onions, and the cumin.
00:31:57.61\00:31:59.68
Can you taste the cumin
and the mustard, everything?
00:31:59.71\00:32:01.38
I can, but it's not very strong.
00:32:01.42\00:32:02.75
No, it's not very strong.
No, it's not very strong.
00:32:02.78\00:32:04.49
So it's very
nice. It's very light.
00:32:04.52\00:32:06.35
And I already feel healthier.
00:32:06.39\00:32:08.29
I feel like I could...
00:32:08.32\00:32:10.19
This is loaded with nutrients.
00:32:10.23\00:32:12.09
I'm telling you
this is the powerhouse,
00:32:12.13\00:32:13.86
and I think...
00:32:13.90\00:32:15.23
That is really,
really good. Yes.
00:32:15.26\00:32:16.60
It's just I'm making it taste,
00:32:16.63\00:32:18.13
you know, very
flavored and tasty.
00:32:18.17\00:32:20.40
So you can enjoy the
dish. It's a great side dish.
00:32:20.44\00:32:24.04
I like that a lot. Yes.
00:32:24.07\00:32:25.87
So I'm glad that you enjoyed.
00:32:25.91\00:32:28.08
And now, you know,
that you can make chard,
00:32:28.11\00:32:31.55
any type of chard
that you want to use
00:32:31.58\00:32:33.72
as you said rainbow
we have different types.
00:32:33.75\00:32:36.38
So you don't think, oh,
I can use only this now.
00:32:36.42\00:32:38.59
You can use any
chard, but then, you know,
00:32:38.62\00:32:41.02
just follow these
little ingredients.
00:32:41.06\00:32:43.49
And it'll just transform
into something so delicious
00:32:43.53\00:32:47.93
that you would love it.
00:32:47.96\00:32:49.30
Nice.
00:32:49.33\00:32:50.67
Well, I'm going to,
go home and make that,
00:32:50.70\00:32:52.77
I promise I will.
00:32:52.80\00:32:54.50
So let's move on something else
00:32:54.54\00:32:56.20
I think I'm going to try
00:32:56.24\00:32:57.57
is this vegan riced
cauliflower with lime.
00:32:57.61\00:33:00.08
Another
relatively fast recipe...
00:33:29.17\00:33:32.24
Yes. Is this?
00:33:32.27\00:33:34.08
Riced cauliflower.
00:33:34.11\00:33:35.54
It's cauliflower? Yes.
00:33:35.58\00:33:36.91
And so now we have the oil hot,
00:33:36.95\00:33:38.61
so I'm gonna start
with the mustard seeds.
00:33:38.65\00:33:41.68
Do you see them
sputtering? Yes, already.
00:33:41.72\00:33:43.59
There's the cumin seeds.
00:33:43.62\00:33:45.25
There's the urad
dhal. One, two, three.
00:33:45.29\00:33:47.56
This is going
fast because, you know,
00:33:47.59\00:33:48.99
we have already
and just green chilies,
00:33:49.02\00:33:54.46
curry leaves,
00:33:54.50\00:33:55.83
I'm doing it very fast
00:33:55.86\00:33:57.20
because our oil is nice and hot.
00:33:57.23\00:33:58.57
Right, it is sparkling.
00:33:58.60\00:34:02.57
Just the turmeric,
00:34:02.60\00:34:04.54
and then you put
in the cauliflower.
00:34:04.57\00:34:07.48
I see a lot of this now
00:34:07.51\00:34:08.91
in the freezer
section in the store,
00:34:08.94\00:34:10.68
I noticed this in the bag,
00:34:10.71\00:34:12.11
you know, you
don't even have to get
00:34:12.15\00:34:13.48
the head of the
cauliflower, but you can,
00:34:13.52\00:34:15.55
you know, naturally take
the head of cauliflower and...
00:34:15.58\00:34:18.62
Grate it or with
the food processor.
00:34:18.65\00:34:19.99
This is what I did was just
put it in the food processor
00:34:20.02\00:34:23.02
and pulse it.
00:34:23.06\00:34:24.39
And you'll get it
to the rice grain.
00:34:24.43\00:34:26.73
See that, see just a little...
00:34:26.76\00:34:28.93
I've been wanting to
try the cauliflower rice,
00:34:28.96\00:34:31.83
they're calling it I guess.
00:34:31.87\00:34:33.37
Yes. So this is a great.
00:34:33.40\00:34:34.74
It's very easy.
This is a simple dish.
00:34:34.77\00:34:37.24
It's very low in carbs.
00:34:37.27\00:34:39.64
Cauliflower is low in carbs.
00:34:39.67\00:34:41.68
One cup of cauliflower
has only 27 calories,
00:34:41.71\00:34:47.05
whereas the regular
white rice has 206 calories.
00:34:47.08\00:34:51.45
Wow, what a difference. Yes.
00:34:51.49\00:34:53.56
So you can see that
this is very healthy.
00:34:53.59\00:34:56.73
Now I wouldn't
really saute it too long.
00:34:56.76\00:35:00.40
Just three to four
minutes... It won't get mushy.
00:35:00.43\00:35:01.96
No, you want
them crunchy. Right.
00:35:02.00\00:35:03.90
You know, you
must have them crunchy.
00:35:03.93\00:35:06.60
So now as soon as
we finish sauteing,
00:35:06.63\00:35:11.57
so you just turn off
the stove, take it off
00:35:11.61\00:35:14.71
and I will add lime juice
00:35:14.74\00:35:17.45
and you will not
believe the flavor.
00:35:17.48\00:35:20.22
It's gonna be a great natural.
00:35:20.25\00:35:21.72
So this is again something
that you've stirred up yourself,
00:35:21.75\00:35:24.25
you created the recipe is it...
00:35:24.29\00:35:25.89
You know, I kind of
tweaked it and, you know,
00:35:25.92\00:35:28.29
tried it this a little bit of
00:35:28.32\00:35:30.03
because rice
cauliflower I hear so much.
00:35:30.06\00:35:32.89
And I really wanna try
because rice has so many carbs.
00:35:32.93\00:35:37.07
Right, right.
00:35:37.10\00:35:38.43
And this is a great
substitute for rice.
00:35:38.47\00:35:40.90
And now I'm just
adding a little lime juice.
00:35:40.94\00:35:43.51
And actually I'll
take it off from the stove
00:35:43.54\00:35:45.87
because we don't need
to stay there anymore.
00:35:45.91\00:35:49.71
There you go.
00:35:49.74\00:35:51.08
So the lime juice,
that's a great twist on...
00:35:51.11\00:35:55.42
It's just a burst of
flavor... Yeah, sure.
00:35:55.45\00:35:58.52
Because see this cauliflower
doesn't have much flavor,
00:35:58.55\00:36:02.12
and it just absorbs the
flavor when you add lime,
00:36:02.16\00:36:05.86
that's why I added
a little bit more lime
00:36:05.89\00:36:08.43
because at
least I took two limes
00:36:08.46\00:36:11.13
or a quarter cup,
00:36:11.17\00:36:12.50
but fresh squeezed lime juice.
00:36:12.53\00:36:14.64
I prefer fresh
00:36:14.67\00:36:16.00
because there's a
difference in the taste.
00:36:16.04\00:36:18.64
You know, so
you just have to mix
00:36:18.67\00:36:21.71
all this together,
00:36:21.74\00:36:23.65
the lime juice is
what has to get in.
00:36:23.68\00:36:25.85
When you add lime juice
00:36:25.88\00:36:27.22
just make sure
there's enough salt.
00:36:27.25\00:36:29.58
All right. To your taste.
00:36:29.62\00:36:31.95
And did you see
how quick that was?
00:36:31.99\00:36:33.32
That was fast.
00:36:33.36\00:36:34.69
Yeah, we had the oil
nice and, you know, hot.
00:36:34.72\00:36:37.99
So everything
just went really fast.
00:36:38.03\00:36:40.13
Yeah. And this is really good.
00:36:40.16\00:36:41.76
You want a little
crunchy. Don't overcook it.
00:36:41.80\00:36:44.13
I want you to try that
and tell me how it tastes.
00:36:44.17\00:36:48.24
I got even the
curry leaves in there too.
00:36:48.27\00:36:50.27
Yes.
00:36:50.31\00:36:53.78
I love the crunch.
00:36:53.81\00:36:55.18
Do you? And I love that lime.
00:36:55.21\00:36:56.68
Can you taste the lime? Yes.
00:36:56.71\00:36:58.11
Yeah, I just added a
little bit more lime.
00:36:58.15\00:37:00.42
If you prefer, you
don't have to add that much,
00:37:00.45\00:37:02.58
but I think the lime really
gives it a very nice flavor.
00:37:02.62\00:37:05.29
Oh, it's nice
and kind of summary.
00:37:05.32\00:37:07.82
I don't know what that's a word,
00:37:07.86\00:37:09.32
but it's good.
00:37:09.36\00:37:10.69
I like that. Yes.
00:37:10.73\00:37:12.89
And it's really low in carbs.
00:37:12.93\00:37:15.40
So you don't have...
00:37:15.43\00:37:16.77
You feel like
you're eating rice.
00:37:16.80\00:37:18.27
It looks like rice.
00:37:18.30\00:37:19.63
See that? Oh, yeah.
00:37:19.67\00:37:21.00
It looks like that yellow rice.
00:37:21.04\00:37:22.37
Perfectly, ricey.
But it's not rice.
00:37:22.40\00:37:23.74
So you're getting that,
you know, wonderful carb,
00:37:23.77\00:37:26.01
you know, very less calories.
00:37:26.04\00:37:28.14
But if you try, regular
white rice has more carbs.
00:37:28.18\00:37:31.25
And what's so good for you
and the cauliflower would be...
00:37:31.28\00:37:36.72
It's just great.
00:37:36.75\00:37:38.52
Very nutritious, very,
very. I really like that.
00:37:38.55\00:37:39.89
I'm so glad I tried that. Yes.
00:37:39.92\00:37:41.26
'Cause I've been wanting to.
00:37:41.29\00:37:42.66
That's awesome. Do
you see the flavor?
00:37:42.69\00:37:44.46
Just as soon as you put it
in your mouth, just the lime...
00:37:44.49\00:37:47.76
And it's got just a
hint of a bite to it.
00:37:47.80\00:37:49.90
Yeah, because I
put the green chilies.
00:37:49.93\00:37:52.03
So if you prefer not to,
00:37:52.07\00:37:53.64
you don't have to add
that much green chili.
00:37:53.67\00:37:55.00
No, that in the lime kind
of it's a great combination.
00:37:55.04\00:37:58.07
Yeah, but very
simple flavor. Yeah.
00:37:58.11\00:38:00.58
You do not have, you
know, I didn't put curry powder,
00:38:00.61\00:38:03.81
I didn't put
anything, it's just the turmeric
00:38:03.85\00:38:05.85
that gives it the yellow.
00:38:05.88\00:38:07.22
Yeah, it's light.
00:38:07.25\00:38:08.58
Lime, and just a
few and, you know what,
00:38:08.62\00:38:10.59
if you do not
have mustard seeds,
00:38:10.62\00:38:13.15
some people call
me and they're like,
00:38:13.19\00:38:14.52
"Oh, I don't have
any mustard seeds."
00:38:14.56\00:38:16.93
That's fine, you
can use the cumin seeds
00:38:16.96\00:38:18.69
I think they're
available in the regular stores
00:38:18.73\00:38:21.46
not the powder though.
00:38:21.50\00:38:22.83
You can use the cumin
seeds and just try it with that
00:38:22.86\00:38:25.93
but the lime juice
will just transform.
00:38:25.97\00:38:28.57
Because everybody has, you know,
00:38:28.60\00:38:30.94
the little bit of the oil
that's the extra light oil,
00:38:30.97\00:38:36.64
you cannot use extra virgin
00:38:36.68\00:38:40.45
because of the high heat.
00:38:40.48\00:38:42.22
You cannot heat it up. Right.
00:38:42.25\00:38:43.72
You know that's why I
use the light olive oil.
00:38:43.75\00:38:46.09
That is so quick and easy.
00:38:46.12\00:38:48.49
I like both of those recipes,
the chard and the cauliflower.
00:38:48.52\00:38:51.19
Let's move on to
the lentil spinach dhal.
00:38:51.23\00:38:54.20
Yes.
00:38:54.23\00:38:55.56
This is going to be
beautiful and great.
00:39:33.23\00:39:36.00
So we're gonna go from
a couple of faster recipes
00:39:36.04\00:39:40.31
to one that takes
a little more time.
00:39:40.34\00:39:42.04
It's not too much
really more complicated,
00:39:42.08\00:39:43.98
it just takes time for things
so let's get things started.
00:39:44.01\00:39:47.02
Now the oil is hot, so
I'm doing the mustard seeds.
00:39:47.05\00:39:50.75
You see them
popping, and then cumin seeds.
00:39:50.79\00:39:54.89
There is no urad dhal here.
00:39:54.92\00:39:57.39
You know, we don't use it. No.
00:39:57.43\00:39:59.63
For this particular
dish we don't use urad dhal.
00:39:59.66\00:40:02.53
Oh, urad dhal, okay.
Do you see the popping?
00:40:02.56\00:40:04.47
You see the popping
and now you add the...
00:40:04.50\00:40:08.30
Red capsicum, I
mean, red onions, sorry.
00:40:08.34\00:40:10.94
Red onions and garlic.
00:40:10.97\00:40:15.04
This is crushed garlic.
00:40:15.08\00:40:18.05
And curry leaves.
00:40:18.08\00:40:19.88
Oh, I love the fresh
ingredients that you're using.
00:40:19.91\00:40:22.65
Yes, they're all fresh.
00:40:22.68\00:40:26.69
Thank you, Lord
for fresh ingredients.
00:40:26.72\00:40:28.06
And I already...
This is the second step.
00:40:28.09\00:40:30.23
The first step is
my red lentils here
00:40:30.26\00:40:32.59
that I have already prepared.
00:40:32.63\00:40:35.06
You know, we cooked it,
00:40:35.10\00:40:36.43
you know, soaked
it for 20 minutes,
00:40:36.46\00:40:37.80
30 minutes, and then
we cooked it very soft,
00:40:37.83\00:40:41.17
and it has the
Madras curry powder
00:40:41.20\00:40:42.87
and turmeric in it.
00:40:42.90\00:40:44.37
So the beans are already... Yes.
00:40:44.41\00:40:46.27
The lentils are already...
00:40:46.31\00:40:47.64
That's the first step that I did
00:40:47.68\00:40:49.01
because that takes half an hour.
00:40:49.04\00:40:50.38
So I already prepared
that and kept with the lentils.
00:40:50.41\00:40:53.55
The red lentils I
have the preparation...
00:40:53.58\00:40:55.78
And this can be
eaten by itself, right?
00:40:55.82\00:40:57.62
Yes, you can.
00:40:57.65\00:40:58.99
That's in India dhal
is a very, you know, dish
00:40:59.02\00:41:03.53
that's usually traditionally
used in every house.
00:41:03.56\00:41:06.70
So that would be
like a basic dhal recipe.
00:41:06.73\00:41:08.40
Basic dhal, but
I'm actually adding
00:41:08.43\00:41:11.10
our spinach and
everything else...
00:41:11.13\00:41:12.47
Oh, yeah, we're addressing,
I would never accuse you
00:41:12.50\00:41:13.84
of being ordering.
00:41:13.87\00:41:15.74
This is gonna be great.
00:41:15.77\00:41:17.11
Yes. Now I'm adding tomatoes.
00:41:17.14\00:41:19.27
Fresh tomatoes. Fresh tomatoes.
00:41:19.31\00:41:22.24
Do you see these tomatoes
are really nice and soft.
00:41:22.28\00:41:27.28
And now it's time
to add the split peas.
00:41:27.32\00:41:31.25
And this is a
mixture that I already did
00:41:31.29\00:41:33.19
before the
consistency you can change it
00:41:33.22\00:41:36.22
and you can add
00:41:36.26\00:41:37.79
a little bit more
water if you want it
00:41:37.83\00:41:39.93
because when you cook
it sometimes it thickens.
00:41:39.96\00:41:43.43
So here it is.
00:41:43.47\00:41:44.80
We just mix it all up together.
00:41:44.83\00:41:47.97
Oh, my apologies,
00:41:48.00\00:41:49.34
I was supposed to add
spinach before we add the dhal.
00:41:49.37\00:41:52.77
Okay. Okay. Yes.
00:41:52.81\00:41:54.14
So I'll just add it in here now.
00:41:54.18\00:41:55.74
So we don't
have to take that out
00:41:55.78\00:41:57.11
as we could from there...
00:41:57.15\00:41:58.95
Yes. Okay.
00:41:58.98\00:42:00.32
But it would be
nice after the tomatoes
00:42:00.35\00:42:02.42
you add the spinach and
let it wilt a little bit,
00:42:02.45\00:42:06.42
and then you add the dhal.
00:42:06.45\00:42:09.16
For this spinach you
really don't have to close
00:42:09.19\00:42:12.06
with the lid.
00:42:12.09\00:42:13.50
It actually cooks very fast.
00:42:13.53\00:42:15.03
Yeah, it does. I can
see it wilting already.
00:42:15.06\00:42:17.43
But sometimes I get the
verse ahead of the intro
00:42:17.47\00:42:21.10
and the chorus behind
the tag and so, you know,
00:42:21.14\00:42:23.84
I'm all about getting
things confused some times.
00:42:23.87\00:42:25.61
It happens, yes. But it would...
00:42:25.64\00:42:27.21
That's what it's
still looking great.
00:42:27.24\00:42:28.81
You can when you do the
tomatoes and they're soft.
00:42:28.84\00:42:31.21
That's what you do, you
would add a little salt.
00:42:31.25\00:42:34.32
Yeah.
00:42:34.35\00:42:35.68
See the color? Yes. Oh, yeah.
00:42:35.72\00:42:39.02
And now that
everything is mixed together,
00:42:39.05\00:42:43.02
actually they
wilted beautifully.
00:42:43.06\00:42:44.39
Yeah, really well. Yes.
00:42:44.43\00:42:45.89
Now that's...
00:42:45.93\00:42:47.26
Now just two minutes
before we take it off the stove
00:42:47.30\00:42:50.73
we add cilantro.
00:42:50.77\00:42:52.73
And cilantro adds a
really good flavor to the dhal.
00:42:52.77\00:42:56.60
Wow. With all the greens.
00:42:59.67\00:43:03.45
I put a lot of cilantro
because it's really flavorful.
00:43:03.48\00:43:07.72
Sure.
00:43:07.75\00:43:09.08
And you just
let it cook together
00:43:09.12\00:43:11.02
for about just a few minutes.
00:43:11.05\00:43:13.09
This is very high in protein,
00:43:13.12\00:43:15.32
and that the
spinach you're getting,
00:43:15.36\00:43:17.43
it's loaded with so
many vitamins and minerals.
00:43:17.46\00:43:22.20
So you're getting
lentils, plus your greens,
00:43:22.23\00:43:25.57
spinach, which really
makes it a very tasty dish.
00:43:25.60\00:43:29.34
And it's so
flavorful with the lentils
00:43:29.37\00:43:31.57
and it's just really
whole and hearty meal.
00:43:31.61\00:43:35.34
Now you see that?
00:43:35.38\00:43:36.81
We just let it
cook for two minutes.
00:43:36.85\00:43:38.81
Two minutes? Yeah,
just with the lid on.
00:43:38.85\00:43:41.68
So all the flavors
will just mix together...
00:43:41.72\00:43:45.49
And come together beautifully.
00:43:45.52\00:43:47.79
I remember a story
I read about a person
00:43:47.82\00:43:50.59
who didn't have a
timer in their house
00:43:50.63\00:43:53.03
and they were
working on boiling something
00:43:53.06\00:43:55.53
that needed a specific time.
00:43:55.56\00:43:57.23
And he was a composer,
00:43:57.27\00:43:58.60
and he knew the
length of a particular song
00:43:58.63\00:44:01.64
and so he used that
the length of that song
00:44:01.67\00:44:04.94
to be his timer.
00:44:04.97\00:44:06.31
I know what it matters,
but anyhow as the musician
00:44:06.34\00:44:08.21
we can relate to that.
00:44:08.24\00:44:10.28
So this looks
ready to see smoothing.
00:44:10.31\00:44:12.61
So look now I can
just take it off the stove
00:44:12.65\00:44:15.98
and now I add the lime juice.
00:44:16.02\00:44:18.65
And it will give it a
nice sour taste to it.
00:44:18.69\00:44:22.86
That is nice.
00:44:22.89\00:44:24.23
So this is going to thicken
the longer you, I mean...
00:44:24.26\00:44:29.73
But once it cools,
you know, it thickens.
00:44:29.76\00:44:32.50
Some people don't
like it too thick.
00:44:32.53\00:44:34.14
You wanna make it thin,
00:44:34.17\00:44:35.50
you just add a
little bit more water,
00:44:35.54\00:44:37.31
but the flavor is very good.
00:44:37.34\00:44:40.24
And it's really rich,
you're getting your protein,
00:44:40.28\00:44:43.38
you're getting
your antioxidants,
00:44:43.41\00:44:45.25
you're getting your
because there's tomato too,
00:44:45.28\00:44:47.42
and there is garlic, and onions,
00:44:47.45\00:44:50.02
the flavors just, you know,
00:44:50.05\00:44:52.89
they just
married together so well
00:44:52.92\00:44:54.79
that you really,
really, you would love this just
00:44:54.82\00:44:57.66
but we eat it with rice or roti.
00:44:57.69\00:45:00.13
Roti is a
flatbread that they use.
00:45:00.16\00:45:03.43
And you can eat it with
rice or roti, and mostly...
00:45:03.47\00:45:06.03
Now how does roti
differ from naan which...?
00:45:06.07\00:45:08.94
Naan is just a
little way of making it,
00:45:08.97\00:45:11.61
you know, they put it
in the clay oven and do it.
00:45:11.64\00:45:13.64
So roti is different than...
00:45:13.68\00:45:15.41
Yeah, it's just a
little different version
00:45:15.44\00:45:17.21
of making things,
00:45:17.25\00:45:18.61
but I'm from, you know,
South Indian we eat rice a lot.
00:45:18.65\00:45:23.08
So different,
different rice dishes,
00:45:23.12\00:45:25.35
but this is a great combination,
00:45:25.39\00:45:27.69
and it's in India just
across South India, North India
00:45:27.72\00:45:31.06
everybody eats dhal, lentils.
00:45:31.09\00:45:33.46
Mostly vegetarians in India.
00:45:33.50\00:45:35.36
So they like this lentils,
00:45:35.40\00:45:37.63
and you're
getting all your protein.
00:45:37.67\00:45:39.73
It's just...
00:45:39.77\00:45:41.10
Do you see the color? Oh, yeah.
00:45:41.14\00:45:42.47
It's really beautiful. It looks.
00:45:42.50\00:45:43.84
You need to
taste that and tell me.
00:45:43.87\00:45:45.21
I'm going to taste
it. Yeah, this is...
00:45:45.24\00:45:46.57
That's great. Yeah.
00:45:50.68\00:45:52.01
That really is
great. I love that.
00:45:52.05\00:45:53.78
Lentils along with spinach.
00:45:53.82\00:45:56.45
You know, I like
that combination.
00:45:56.48\00:45:58.79
Dhal you can make it
just with so many variations.
00:45:58.82\00:46:01.62
There's so many
different combinations,
00:46:01.66\00:46:02.99
but this combination...
00:46:03.02\00:46:04.36
That is a great, smooth,
00:46:04.39\00:46:07.03
and it's not too wild,
00:46:07.06\00:46:10.53
there's nothing in
it that would be really,
00:46:10.57\00:46:12.20
you know,
outstanding in terms of the,
00:46:12.23\00:46:13.74
you know, too pungent
on any of the flavors.
00:46:13.77\00:46:17.21
Nothing.
00:46:17.24\00:46:18.57
Everything like you
said it marries well.
00:46:18.61\00:46:19.94
Yes. So very nice.
00:46:19.97\00:46:21.31
Very balanced, and
you're getting your greens,
00:46:21.34\00:46:23.95
and you're getting your lentils.
00:46:23.98\00:46:26.01
And this is a very tasty
way of having your lentils,
00:46:26.05\00:46:28.78
don't mean to say that.
00:46:28.82\00:46:30.15
Yeah, I would
certainly say that.
00:46:30.19\00:46:31.52
This is great.
00:46:31.55\00:46:32.89
And I would also certainly say
00:46:32.92\00:46:34.26
that now that
we've come to the end
00:46:34.29\00:46:35.62
of all of these
four or five dishes
00:46:35.66\00:46:36.99
that we've cooked,
00:46:37.03\00:46:38.36
it's time for one
of my favorite portions
00:46:38.39\00:46:40.43
of the program
and that is dessert.
00:46:40.46\00:46:42.80
And we're going to make
00:46:42.83\00:46:44.17
a wonderful vegan coconut ladoo.
00:46:44.20\00:46:46.50
And it's pretty simple actually.
00:46:46.53\00:46:48.20
That's it.
00:47:04.29\00:47:05.65
After all of this wonderful
food we come to the simple...
00:47:05.69\00:47:09.46
Dessert.
00:47:09.49\00:47:10.83
Dessert, but
it's not gonna be...
00:47:10.86\00:47:12.59
It's simple, but
it's gonna be tasty.
00:47:12.63\00:47:14.56
I can tell already,
00:47:14.60\00:47:15.93
I love coconut,
tell me about it...
00:47:15.96\00:47:17.30
This is coconut.
00:47:17.33\00:47:18.67
I just got shredded coconut,
unsweetened shredded coconut,
00:47:18.70\00:47:21.04
but I just did in,
just pulsed it a little bit
00:47:21.07\00:47:23.74
to this form
this very fine grain
00:47:23.77\00:47:26.98
like you can see that?
00:47:27.01\00:47:28.34
Yeah, that's nice. Yes.
00:47:28.38\00:47:29.71
Now what I'm gonna do
is just roast this dry.
00:47:29.74\00:47:33.65
There is no oil... No oil.
00:47:33.68\00:47:35.08
And just right in
the pan. Just in the pan.
00:47:35.12\00:47:36.89
It will just take, you know,
three minutes or four minutes
00:47:36.92\00:47:39.95
just to come to a golden color.
00:47:39.99\00:47:43.83
And we'll just keep on stirring
00:47:43.86\00:47:45.43
because if you leave
it that way it will burn.
00:47:45.46\00:47:48.03
You have to
continuously stir this
00:47:48.06\00:47:52.10
and maybe two, three
minutes, five minutes,
00:47:52.13\00:47:56.07
whatever it takes to
get the golden brown color.
00:47:56.10\00:47:59.17
You can tell because you
will be able to smell it.
00:47:59.21\00:48:03.58
And then for this we will add...
00:48:03.61\00:48:06.88
We will pretend. Sure.
00:48:06.92\00:48:08.45
That it's golden color,
00:48:08.48\00:48:12.75
and then to this
we'll add the coconut milk.
00:48:12.79\00:48:18.23
Full-fat coconut milk.
00:48:18.26\00:48:20.50
And why is it that again
00:48:25.20\00:48:26.53
that we just have
to have the full-fat?
00:48:26.57\00:48:28.87
That gives the perfect
consistency for this ladoo.
00:48:28.90\00:48:33.04
Yes.
00:48:33.07\00:48:34.41
Typically, they
just use regular milk.
00:48:34.44\00:48:36.85
So we have
substituted for the coconut milk
00:48:36.88\00:48:39.68
which is very healthy.
00:48:39.71\00:48:41.05
Sure.
00:48:41.08\00:48:42.42
And I'm going to add
00:48:42.45\00:48:45.09
the cardamom powder to this.
00:48:45.12\00:48:47.99
And this is something
that you've grounded...
00:48:48.02\00:48:49.52
Yes.
00:48:49.56\00:48:50.89
Because it's
really tasty if you can,
00:48:50.93\00:48:53.60
these are the
pods if you can see
00:48:53.63\00:48:54.96
this is how cardamom looks.
00:48:55.00\00:48:57.17
And I just opened it up
and see the seeds in there?
00:48:57.20\00:49:00.87
Right, yes.
00:49:00.90\00:49:02.24
Yeah, we just
took the seeds out.
00:49:02.27\00:49:04.27
And, you know,
00:49:04.31\00:49:05.64
you just crushed them
in a mortar and pestle.
00:49:05.67\00:49:07.01
Right. Nice.
00:49:07.04\00:49:08.38
And if you do it
fresh right then and there,
00:49:08.41\00:49:11.21
the flavor is just really good.
00:49:11.25\00:49:14.02
And do you see that? Yes.
00:49:14.05\00:49:15.75
Now this one you just...
00:49:15.78\00:49:17.12
This is
thickening. Yes, thickening.
00:49:17.15\00:49:18.92
So to this just two minutes
or so you just keep stirring.
00:49:18.95\00:49:22.62
And now it's time to add...
00:49:22.66\00:49:24.53
Brown sugar.
00:49:24.56\00:49:25.89
Brown sugar.
00:49:25.93\00:49:28.70
And then just a pinch of salt.
00:49:28.73\00:49:31.10
Yeah.
00:49:31.13\00:49:32.93
So there's five ingredients.
00:49:32.97\00:49:34.60
That's it. It's very
simple. That's great.
00:49:34.64\00:49:37.07
And you can see
the taste is so good.
00:49:37.11\00:49:40.64
The cardamom is the flavor
00:49:40.68\00:49:43.35
is just it will
take you to the...
00:49:43.38\00:49:44.71
And such a little bit
of it will do so much.
00:49:44.75\00:49:47.55
Yes.
00:49:47.58\00:49:48.92
And it just takes
you to the next level.
00:49:48.95\00:49:51.29
You will see the difference
if you don't add cardamom,
00:49:51.32\00:49:54.86
it doesn't have that flavor.
00:49:54.89\00:49:56.56
Yeah, and I
think it's available.
00:49:56.59\00:49:58.79
You can add the cardamom powder,
00:49:58.83\00:50:00.93
you can get it in
the Indian stores.
00:50:00.96\00:50:03.30
We use it in a lot of desserts.
00:50:03.33\00:50:05.20
It's just a very refreshing.
00:50:05.23\00:50:08.37
This is really delightful dish.
00:50:08.40\00:50:11.37
Right. You would...
00:50:11.41\00:50:12.74
So ladoo what is that
word? What does that mean?
00:50:12.77\00:50:15.84
It's like ladoo is like,
you know, ball we just...
00:50:15.88\00:50:19.48
After this is reduced
there is should not be at any,
00:50:19.51\00:50:23.45
any moisture like see
00:50:23.49\00:50:24.95
all this liquid should wrap away
00:50:24.99\00:50:27.16
and you can tell...
00:50:27.19\00:50:28.52
Yes, cook it down really good.
00:50:28.56\00:50:30.53
It'll take a good 20
minutes to 25 minutes depending,
00:50:30.56\00:50:34.70
but we wouldn't wanna burn
it so don't put it really high.
00:50:34.73\00:50:37.07
So you have to
keep watching over it.
00:50:37.10\00:50:38.77
Yes, and then keep on
stirring it continuously.
00:50:38.80\00:50:42.67
And then once it's
all the water is absorbed,
00:50:42.70\00:50:45.97
all the moisture is gone.
00:50:46.01\00:50:47.34
Then you take it, cool it,
00:50:47.38\00:50:49.08
and then you take it
put it between your hands,
00:50:49.11\00:50:50.85
just take a portion of it
00:50:50.88\00:50:52.21
and just roll it
like a nice round ball.
00:50:52.25\00:50:54.88
And it's good. It
just holds beautifully.
00:50:54.92\00:50:58.35
So you have to
definitely wait for it to cool
00:50:58.39\00:51:00.46
so that you don't burn yourself.
00:51:00.49\00:51:02.26
But also that's
the perfect texture
00:51:02.29\00:51:04.83
and the perfect temperature
to roll up in a ball.
00:51:04.86\00:51:08.00
Yes, but you must cool it. Yeah.
00:51:08.03\00:51:10.33
And it will take a little time.
00:51:10.37\00:51:11.73
And you can lay that
out on what like wax paper
00:51:11.77\00:51:13.37
or in a pan or just...
00:51:13.40\00:51:14.90
Yes, just even in a pan or
on wax papers, it's perfect.
00:51:14.94\00:51:18.41
You can do that.
Just pour it out.
00:51:18.44\00:51:20.81
Yes. Okay.
00:51:20.84\00:51:22.18
But this is almost
done, it's coming together.
00:51:22.21\00:51:24.38
I want you to taste that
ladoo and tell me how it tastes.
00:51:24.41\00:51:27.15
So this what it's
like when it's done.
00:51:27.18\00:51:29.25
Yes.
00:51:29.28\00:51:31.35
Taste it. You try
it. Take a bite of it.
00:51:31.39\00:51:33.69
That is really good.
00:51:36.76\00:51:39.19
See the cardamom
gives it that nice flavor.
00:51:39.23\00:51:42.36
If you like coconut,
this is really great.
00:51:42.40\00:51:46.57
And it's healthy,
coconut means it's healthy fat.
00:51:46.60\00:51:51.47
And that cardamom...
00:51:51.51\00:51:52.84
I can't believe
how little it takes
00:51:52.87\00:51:54.94
that spreads through that.
00:51:54.98\00:51:56.31
Yes. It's just...
It has a nice spice.
00:51:56.34\00:51:59.51
It's infused through
the whole entire dish,
00:51:59.55\00:52:02.45
but it tastes very good.
00:52:02.48\00:52:06.35
You like that? Oh, yes.
00:52:06.39\00:52:08.39
That was great. Wonderful.
00:52:08.42\00:52:11.86
This is almost done.
00:52:11.89\00:52:13.50
And then you have
put like a little cashew.
00:52:13.53\00:52:16.20
Cashew just... Yes.
00:52:16.23\00:52:17.63
Just a little
ta-da on top of it.
00:52:17.67\00:52:22.57
It's very nice. Yes.
It tastes really good.
00:52:22.60\00:52:26.11
Yeah, the coconut
is so good in that.
00:52:26.14\00:52:28.88
And I didn't add not
too many ingredients,
00:52:28.91\00:52:31.15
you saw that.
00:52:31.18\00:52:32.51
No.
00:52:32.55\00:52:33.88
And this is all
done. That is easy-peasy.
00:52:33.92\00:52:35.25
You just cool it.
00:52:35.28\00:52:36.62
Easy-peasy dessert.
00:52:36.65\00:52:37.99
So this recipe I
think I just ate...
00:52:38.02\00:52:41.09
This recipe
makes about how many?
00:52:41.12\00:52:44.19
About six or seven. Okay.
00:52:44.23\00:52:45.69
That size.
00:52:45.73\00:52:47.06
If you want
smaller size you can do it.
00:52:47.10\00:52:49.00
And bigger size.
00:52:49.03\00:52:50.37
But it's not too rich,
00:52:50.40\00:52:51.73
but it's certainly
sweet and a great dessert.
00:52:51.77\00:52:54.34
And it'll keep
for three, four days.
00:52:54.37\00:52:57.27
You can make it...
00:52:57.31\00:52:58.64
So do we serve this
with anything like on,
00:52:58.67\00:53:01.44
you know, I like ice cream,
00:53:01.48\00:53:02.81
but we don't say
that, you know, I just...
00:53:02.84\00:53:04.65
Well, we're trying to be
authentic Indian cuisine.
00:53:04.68\00:53:06.78
Oh, okay. I'm sorry.
00:53:06.82\00:53:08.85
I had to Americanize my...
00:53:08.88\00:53:11.69
You can. You can, but...
00:53:11.72\00:53:13.36
No, that's just
really great by itself.
00:53:13.39\00:53:15.42
Wow, it's... Yeah.
00:53:15.46\00:53:16.79
Do you see how
this is coming together
00:53:16.83\00:53:18.33
the water's almost, you know,
just the moisture is not there.
00:53:18.36\00:53:22.06
It's all, it's absorbed.
00:53:22.10\00:53:24.13
And it just took us
like five minutes or so.
00:53:24.17\00:53:26.84
Well, that is great.
00:53:26.87\00:53:28.57
What a great
way to end the meal.
00:53:28.60\00:53:30.41
This has been a
wonderful experience for me.
00:53:30.44\00:53:33.54
And here we have.
00:53:33.58\00:53:34.91
Let's just do a recap in
fact of all of our dishes.
00:53:34.94\00:53:38.38
Oh, the dishes that we did.
00:53:38.41\00:53:39.75
Yeah, all the
dishes that we did.
00:53:39.78\00:53:41.12
Yes.
00:53:41.15\00:53:42.48
You keep on stirring
that in the meanwhile
00:53:42.52\00:53:43.85
I'll say that we
had the quinoa...
00:53:43.89\00:53:46.15
Tell me the name I
said I would say...
00:53:46.19\00:53:47.76
Quinoa kichidi.
00:53:47.79\00:53:49.12
Oh, that's right. That's right.
00:53:49.16\00:53:50.49
And then we have the
dish with the lima beans.
00:53:50.53\00:53:52.49
Lima beans, and
the red bell pepper,
00:53:52.53\00:53:54.73
and green bell pepper curry.
00:53:54.76\00:53:56.70
Curry. That's right.
00:53:56.73\00:53:58.07
Then we had the greens
chard, and the cauliflower rice.
00:53:58.10\00:54:02.04
Cauliflower. Riced cauliflower.
00:54:02.07\00:54:03.47
Oh, so good. Good.
00:54:03.51\00:54:04.84
And then the dhal.
00:54:04.87\00:54:06.21
Dhal that's red
lentils with the spinach
00:54:06.24\00:54:09.88
cooked along and
it's just great flavor.
00:54:09.91\00:54:13.15
Oh, yeah, all of
that have great flavor
00:54:13.18\00:54:14.75
my goodness, and then we
ended with the coconut ladoo.
00:54:14.78\00:54:18.39
Yes. Ladoo, I love this.
00:54:18.42\00:54:20.12
Thank you some much.
00:54:20.16\00:54:21.49
The whole entire
you have everything...
00:54:21.52\00:54:22.86
What a meal.
00:54:22.89\00:54:24.23
Yeah, you can eat the quinoa
along with these other curries
00:54:24.26\00:54:27.20
mix it all up
together and have it,
00:54:27.23\00:54:30.03
but you have a full balanced.
00:54:30.07\00:54:32.80
Yeah, this is a
feast right here.
00:54:32.83\00:54:34.17
Yes.
00:54:34.20\00:54:35.54
My goodness if you
get this much anyway
00:54:35.57\00:54:37.81
that it's just wonderful.
00:54:37.84\00:54:39.27
So for 10 years
of cooking on 3ABN,
00:54:39.31\00:54:43.58
this is a great way to celebrate
00:54:43.61\00:54:45.71
a 10th anniversary
right here in my opinion.
00:54:45.75\00:54:48.35
But...
00:54:48.38\00:54:49.72
It's always wonderful to come
because all through the year
00:54:49.75\00:54:53.76
I sit and think
about new recipes,
00:54:53.79\00:54:55.46
what should I
come up with next to do
00:54:55.49\00:54:57.79
something exciting
and the people will love
00:54:57.83\00:55:00.60
and my 3ABN viewers
call and they really enjoy,
00:55:00.63\00:55:03.47
and they love the recipes.
00:55:03.50\00:55:05.47
And remind me again what
that number is that they call?
00:55:05.50\00:55:08.40
(813) 325-5783.
00:55:08.44\00:55:12.57
That's wonderful
that you are open yourself
00:55:12.61\00:55:14.54
to receive the calls.
00:55:14.58\00:55:15.91
And I do get a lot of calls.
00:55:15.94\00:55:17.28
People do call me and
also they can go to my website.
00:55:17.31\00:55:20.85
It's SweetSoothingMusic.com.
00:55:20.88\00:55:23.62
We have music and
also all the recipes,
00:55:23.65\00:55:26.62
they can watch any
number of times and learn.
00:55:26.65\00:55:29.99
Right. Yes.
00:55:30.03\00:55:31.36
What a great
combination, food and music.
00:55:31.39\00:55:33.33
This is certainly
been a delight for me
00:55:33.36\00:55:35.10
to be a part of...
00:55:35.13\00:55:36.73
So I can't wait
for another episode
00:55:36.77\00:55:38.93
of being able to enjoy all this.
00:55:38.97\00:55:41.70
So you go home
00:55:41.74\00:55:43.07
and you will
create more recipes...
00:55:43.10\00:55:45.37
For next year. For next year.
00:55:45.41\00:55:46.74
And they do, but I
really wanna thank 3ABN
00:55:46.78\00:55:49.34
for giving me this opportunity
00:55:49.38\00:55:51.51
where I can share
delicious, simple, easy recipes.
00:55:51.55\00:55:57.02
Now you saw how
simple they were.
00:55:57.05\00:55:59.12
I did not take that much time.
00:55:59.15\00:56:00.82
It just takes five minutes of...
00:56:00.86\00:56:02.99
But if we can take the time
00:56:03.02\00:56:05.53
to prepare our
home-cooked meals,
00:56:05.56\00:56:08.40
I think, you know,
00:56:08.43\00:56:09.86
it will be really
good for our health.
00:56:09.90\00:56:12.13
Instead of going out and eating,
00:56:12.17\00:56:13.74
that's what I encourage people.
00:56:13.77\00:56:16.07
And when I see and I tell them,
cook your meals, cook that,
00:56:16.10\00:56:19.51
so that you'll have home-cooked,
00:56:19.54\00:56:21.44
and see how delicious they are.
00:56:21.48\00:56:23.35
So I think this
is, wherever I go,
00:56:23.38\00:56:26.55
I love to encourage
people to try home-cooked meals.
00:56:26.58\00:56:30.49
Well, thank you so very much,
Padma, it's been a wonderful.
00:56:30.52\00:56:32.55

00:56:32.59\00:56:33.92
It was wonderful
meeting you, Tim.
00:56:33.96\00:56:35.29
And I wanna thank
you for hosting this.
00:56:35.32\00:56:37.16
It's been a pleasure. Wonderful.
00:56:37.19\00:56:38.53
You did a good
job. Wonderful. Amazing.
00:56:38.56\00:56:41.06
It was just a
wonderful experience for me.
00:56:41.10\00:56:44.10
Thank you. Just thank you.
00:56:44.13\00:56:45.47
Thank you. You're precious.
00:56:45.50\00:56:46.84
Thank you.
