Cooking Indian Food with Arun Kumar - Food Vlog for English Learners - Learn English w/ Camille (2)

Yeah I really like Shahi Paneer. Oh yeah. Such a good dish.

Yeah paneer is like, my wife is dairy free, so we don't cook, that's why I create like recipes like dairy free mostly.

Yes and uh gluten free and dairy free.

And paneer means cheese right?

Yeah okay and you cannot find paneer here unless you find maybe online or somewhere, I don't know.

Okay , Wanna check this?

Careful with the steam, this coming out is very hot.

We must smell. Yeah in India, we don't, we just smell, spice is done, ok, it smells good.

Okay that means it smells good ok, so you can like uh put half of this here.

Okay Yeah how can I work on my smelling skills to know when it's done?

You have to cook lots of Indian food a lot. Okay.

Yeah see the half of this uh dressing we're just saving here, for on top, we're gonna

like garnish and now I have a uh, so three cup of rice here, right here, and I soaked

this for at least 20-30 minutes, and it's basmati rice.

So now we're gonna pour this here. We add this all in?

Yeah we're gonna add this here and

Since this rice was soaking here for like a little while, so we don't need so much water.

Usually rice, when we cook rice you know, it goes like one cup rice, and two cup water,

yeah so with this, we're gonna do like one cup rice and 1 cup water.

I'm happy.

Because we soak this rice the rice is already soft like so if you put too much water, it's get like very very sticky kind of.

Okay do we just cover that back again?

Yeah we just cover this and let this uh start in high heat, when just I like clear like

lid, because you can see rice, because rice, making rice really is, in India also, like

this very you have to have like a, we have to have good skill.

Sometimes mess up with rice doesn't perfect, because for us, we want like rice to be like

separate like, all like you know, not stick together. Okay.

So when you serve is like nice.

Yeah so yeah, so when we used to see this, when you started boiling, so we're gonna put this in like completely low.

Okay and let this cook. For about how long?

In the low you can cook for like next 20 minutes. Okay. Yeah.

So here I'm just heating this and you can add uh so i don't need to make a video for

this, I already have, so you can just pour like four tablespoons.

what are we making here?

So we're making chickpeas. Ok, Ok.

So this is like uh uh, this is uh we have like uh called Chana masala, but I'm not making

Chana Masala, they're gonna be spicy, but like we called cut masala, cut miss which cut masala, is like you know.

Yeah, so we call there, so that means we're not gonna have any garam masala here. Okay.

We only have one, have a cumin seed, okay and some onion.

Should I use a spoon? Yes and how much?

And let's see the for cumin seed, we need we need to pop the cumin seeds, like you know,

so that means we need like oil is hot. Oh okay.

What is this? So this is a onion, ginger, and garlic paste, um. That you make yourself?

Yeah, I just put in a blender, like half onion here, and it's like five cloves of garlic, and one like one and a half inch ginger.

Wow, yeah, wow. This is like a super healthy you know.

Yes we're going to use turmeric with in, so it's like turmeric is good for inflammation, garlic also for digestion.

A good immune boost.

Oh yeah yeah this is very good have you met a lot of Indians here?

Yes, now we is ready. Okay. So we can put like a half of these, yes that's good.

Ahh the sizzle, the sound.

Okay now we're gonna add this, uh paste. All of it? Yeah. Oh wow.

One thing about Indian food...should I use this? Yeah, you can use this.

Because we need more spices than we think, we think oh we need this much, no, in America,

people only use little, little, no because we need more than we think actually.

Yeah so now see we started boiling here so we're going to turn this down all the way

low, completely, yeah and let this cook for next 20 minutes.

Okay and then what about this little guy over here?

So we have to like uh it's this process, it's gonna take a little bit time.

Okay yeah and we keep it on that, yeah so while we're cooking you can just add some turmeric, half of this.

Okay yeah that's good, and you can use a little bit chili powder like yeah, that much here for now.

You can add a little later also, if you need it.

And just many ingredients right here, salt, yeah.

Should I put that in now?

A little bit more, because uh i'm not bring so much because when I boil that chickpeas,

so I add some salt yes, when you're boiling the chickpea the salt goes all in you know while it's boiling. Got it.

So I am going to cover this, I don't want the steam to go out. Oh, a little trick.

Oh that's interesting it tries to escape.

Yeah because the steam has so much power, you know.

Yeah almost steam engine how the steam small started. Right.

Oh these look so fresh, they look so much better than canned chickpeas.

Yeah sometimes people, they not uh they don't like cilantro sometimes, but they can use

a little bit like a mint, fresh mint.

A little bit.. oh mint instead of cilantro..not this much, they smell like little later, okay because mint is so strong.

Yeah it's perfect, you can uh see how separate this is rice.

You don't want this rice to be sticking together so oh this works so.

And now we're gonna garnish all over the place. Okay what a beautiful dish.

And we're gonna eat now.

Sorry Calvin, we'll have to get ya later.

Sorry Calvin.

Cameraman is angry.

After a labor of love, we get to enjoy it.

Oh yeah because one thing I want to tell you, Indian food take time, but it's a labor of

love and so whoever make Indian food, if they're inviting you that means they work a lot actually.

Yeah and so that's why it's good to have like a prepare earlier, and so the way I do sometimes,

so then I don't have to do like in a minute, so I can do like fast way. Yeah

So we eat Indian food a lot actually, because we prepare earlier and then we prepare dinner,

so we prepare more, so we can have for next lunch.

That's awesome. So we don't have to do anything.

Yeah we always do like two meal, yeah even this meal we made, it's enough for tonight also.
