It's Amma's Churidar.
This is a green colour which suits me.
instead of pants, I wear my pants and instead of putting on the front, I just hang on my neck.
so it's more natural for me and it looks good on me all right
it suits me? / Of course! You look beautiful.
Hey, everyone! This is Jubilee JJ.
Today, we are going to Amritha Chechi's house.
What are we going to get it? / We're going to have Kanji and Payarum. Kanji and Payarum are typical Indian Kerala food.
Kerala is a southern state, the southern part of India.
It's beautiful food. You can call it rice pudding and Lentil.
It goes with Chammanthi and Pickle. (It's) one of the best food for digestion. It digests very fast.
I had a long time ago when I was in India. This time, I'm really excited to have a Payarum in New Zealand because I never had both in New Zealand. Right?
I can see how to make it. Then, I can try next time.
Rupee is waiting for a company with two cats as well
You're not scared of her because she's about the same size or something.
Same colour, right?
When we brought her. Cookie came first and then she came after about one year.
Amritha Cheers
It is a special drink it's a it's called Mundakal Shekaran
Curry leaves. It's very expensive here.
You're growing (Curry leaves at home)?
Yeah. Now that tree is dying but I've got some small ones also.
It smells better if you grow it.
This thing is a whiskey. That's what he would prefer.
This is called Mundakal Shekaran. It's a special drink been suggested by my elder sister, Amritha Jacob.
You put 60 or 30 ml of Gin whatever the way you want to put.
and you put the sprite water. If you want to put an ice cube, you can put an Ice cube.
and then you can put a few curry leaves. One or two curry leaves.
and a small piece of
...
Green chilly.
and then lemon. Dash of Lemon.
Thank you very much. Cheers.
Very good? / Super
Amritha, is it okay to upload the video on Youtube?
No problem, I don't mind. You never know I might become a Youtube Star. / Of course.
what is it called in English? Rice... Rice soup? / Yeah, Rice soup
That's what we have. Rice soup with fried fish on Charcoal.
[Rupee thinks it's for her.]

do you cut her hair short or does her hair grow longer
We try to trim her if she feels too hot.
What is this? / i'm going to put... it's actually green mango.

Ummm / Do you like that?
Adipoli (Super)
Chechi made Chammandi and i'm going to taste it / try it

She spins./ Yeah
What is it what is it what is it what is it what is it what is it what is it what is it
What is it x 100
Acutally, Kanji is done, Payarum is done. I just want to do some more dish.
this is a smelly thing. dried fish. So it's like a pickled dry fried fish.
so i'm crushing it with chili so that we can have it as a taste another like a twist Chutney.
Rice is done.
Payarum is done.
Chanmandi is done.
How do you think?
Before having Kanni and Payarum, I am going to taste Chammandi.
What kind of Chammandi is it? / It's Mango Chammandi.
hmm
Adipoli!
Because for a long time, i didn't have Indian food right that's why the full bowl is made for you.
this is right taste, you know. Spices are inside.
salt spice chili
this is a mango coconut chutney. it's got mango. it's got green chilies. it's got a dash of ginger.
some red chili and coconut. I've just added tamarind, Kerala tamarind and salt
Green mango and then you mix the whole thing. Get it into a nice way. not too smooth.
but kind of a coarse consistency and then you eat it as lip smacking./ wow it's so good. thank you.
[I am going to have same as Indian has on their palm. :) ]
So good, Rupee.
This ear rings are from Kerala. I love Indian ear rings. It's hard to get them here.
this is my last item, okay?
Yujeong, you know the effort she is putting is unbelievable.
There is no effort. I am just making things which I also like to eat.
But you have to imagine that how many dishes did you make.
because Kanji has to be eaten with all of this. Otherwise it's not good.
Definitely I tell that my father is the best cook.
He is a genius.
There is a word in Malayalam it says..
It means. Literal translation in English is jack of all traits.
Means somebody who can be good at everything and that is you, Yujeong. / Aww, thank you. What a compliment!
when you do certain things, i look at you. You remind me, my father.
because he was like.
it's like Midas' hand. /Whatever you touch, it turns to gold.
I'm in the cloud nine.
Dosa you made it, we really enjoyed. / We really loved.
I've never tried Egg Dosa and Masala Dosa.
See. i'll show you this thing if you go to Pak n Save.
go, look for this. So it tells you the thing. you can make it the same day but what i do is when i get this.
i open it i put some salt in it and i leave it overnight.
next day you can make very good Dosa with this.
She is making Kachi Moru.
hey
You want to play with her?
You thought I look younger (than Yujeong).
Who said you look younger? You don't.
You don't look younger than her. / Really?
Awwwww, thank you Chechi.
Our friends in Korea told, ' You look younger than her'. Then, I said, ' really?'.
No. Definitely not.
i think you're a first person to tell that I look younger than him.
Because i'm growing my hair for the past seven months.
this is like the best of the best. (Kachi Moru)
smells so good.
but i just realized you can eat. It'll be same as real Papadam.
You can also cook in Microwave.
Usually, we put in the stove.
first time, i'm seeing we can put in the microwave.
and the all credits go to Amritha Jacob! / That's true.
It's a Papadam packet.
Done!
it's very colorful. Red, Orange, Yellow and blue. it's like a rainbow.
i think that's a really healthy Pappadam because it is not fried.
i put it on a plate. Make sure there's enough space around it. One minute. Put it for one minute.
No, it's not only pappadam. You made so many food.
Usually I struggle myself to make one dish but here's like one two three four five and six. That's called God's grace. that's true.
What is impossible is possible for a mighty God. That's good.
This is called, Kanji.
It's the most traditional and sweetest food.
I mean the best food for the Keralites.
i always love yogurt. Rice and Yogurt, it goes with everything.
But Kanni, Payarum, Pappadam,
How do we call Kachi Moru in English?
spiced buttermilk and Chanmandi.
dried fish pickle.
all made by my dear sister, beautiful Amritha Sister.
By God's grace, one person made all this dish after coming back from work.
People are very tired after work.
In spite of that God has given her the strength and the power and the wisdom to look after two people like us
who came here and then this is called God's love and affection.
I was amazed that she always so energetic and enjoyable to cook.
it's only for certain items.
Also, green chili pickle, the green color one is really good. / yeah yeah the one with the in the jar.
That is not green chili. That's green grapes. /grapes?
Julie made it. Green grapes. / wow
Who can tell it tastes like a grapes. / yeah that's what i said. That is Julie's special pickle.
Warm Gulab Jamun with Mango Ice cream for dessert!!!
very very hot
