(dishes clattering)
- Everything's fine.
(Katie vocalizing)
(Katie laughing)
This is gonna be really rough.
Hey guys, it's Katie,
and I'm back today
with my good friend from Buzzfeed India,
Aniket!
- Since you guys asked for it,
I am here back with Katie
to teach her another Indian recipe,
and this time it's a dessert or
(Aniket speaking in Hindi).
And at the end of it,
we'll compare the real dish
with whatever Katie ended up with,
and see how well she did.
Katie, are you excited?
- I am excited.
I haven't been studying.
I should have brushed up or re-watched the video.
- Since we've done this before,
this time you're only going to get one lifeline,
which is the "Google it",
so you can Google a phrase or sentence which I say,
and it'll tell you exactly what to do.
That's your only lifeline,
so use it wisely.
- I feel like I'm going to,
like I've graduated from first grade to kindergarten.
It's getting a little harder.
I do remember the numbers though.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi).
- That's great, but this time I
feel like we are going to work a lot with fractions,
which you don't know anything about.
(both laughing)
but I'm super excited because this is one of my favorite
desserts, ever.
- Well, I guess let's just get started
because there's no turning back now.
(both speaking in Hindi)
(upbeat folk music)
You've sent me all the ingredients.
I like the rose water and the pistachios.
I'm excited, I really have no idea what we're making.
- Okay Katie,
(Aniket speaking in Hindi).
But let's see.
- I heard let's see, and I want to see.
Okay.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi).
- I feel it was flour last time.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi).
- There's a bowl.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi).
- Milk powder?
Cup?
(cup clanging)
(Aniket speaking in Hindi).
- Quarter cup! Quarter cup?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi).
- Dean?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi, annunciating).
- Teen!
Teen is three! Teen is three...
...cups.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi).
- One third cup.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi).
- We're in the fraction zone, okay.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi).
- Three quarters!
- Three quarters, yes.
- Three over char.
- Yes, yes, yes.
- All right, so teen over char.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- One cup flour.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- Aadha is half a cup.
Sugar?
Oil?
Ghee?
Butter? (Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- Aadha is half a cup flour?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) (Katie repeating Hindi)
(laughing)
Half a cup flour.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- Oh, you guys call baking powder, "baking powder."
- Yeah, yeah, it's English.
- (Hindi word) is a little bit,
so I'm thinking like a half a teaspoon?
Haan!
(measuring spoons clanking)
(Hindi word) baking powder.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- Stir this together.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- So two tablespoons.
(speaking in Hindi)
I'm sorry, I'm butchering it.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- One quarter cup...
...dool?
- Yeah, like "dude".
- What would be "doodh"?
(sing-songy) Doodh, doodh, doodh, doodh.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- Milk!
(both laughing)
- Moo, milk!
I feel like that was cheating, but thank you!
(both laughing)
- I'm going to pour myself a glass of 'doodh'.
Quarter cup, right?
Boom.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) (Katie repeating Hindi)
- Let me know when you're done 'me-low-lowing it.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- Make it a ball, cover it and put it off to the side.
- [Aniket] Wow. Wow.
- Wow. Okay.
So it needs to be in a ball.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- No earthly clue what we're making.
We're going to set it aside.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) - A cutting board?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) - Pan.
(both speaking in Hindi)
- Pan, pan, pan, pan.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- I'm learning the language,
but mostly I'm watching your face.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) - Foil?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) - Sugar.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) - That sounds cute
and makes sense.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- Paanee I think is water. - Yes.
- So we're making some type of syrup, I'm assuming.
Some type of sugary...
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- Yeah.
What you...(laughing) What you said.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
(gas burner turning on)
- Ooh!
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) - Two... saffron?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) - Cardamon pods?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- Cardamon smells so delicious.
So two... (speaking in Hindi)
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) (Katie repeating Hindi)
(Aniket repeating Hindi, annunciating)
(Katie repeating Hindi)
Is that saffron?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- I'm going to guess a couple of strands.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- This stuff is expensive. - So expensive.
- "Char" or do you think like, "paanch"?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Let's live a little.
- Let's go crazy, wild with the saffron.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) (Katie repeating Hindi)
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
(laughing)
- Bring it to a boil?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- That is the best thing that anyone has ever done.
So turn up the heat.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- Keep going, stir the whole time?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- Stir the sugar until it's dissolved.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
(combination of Hindi language and laughing)
- Wow! Katie, did you take Hindi classes while I was away?
- All I heard was (Hindi)
and I remember like (Hindi) is sugar, and I'm stirring it.
We're almost there. We're almost there.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- Five minutes of boiling?
- [Aniket] Yeah. - So we should just hang out?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) - No idea what you're saying.
(both laughing)
So right now we're just like (Hindi)
- Yeah, we don't have the "ing",
but it just makes it fun, you know?
- Oh, what is that boil?
(boiling sounds)
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) Ubalen.
- Okay. Got it.
Well, we are (Hindi) Ubalen -ing.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) - Take it off the heat!
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) Haan, haan, haan.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) - (Hindi word) means salt?
- (speaking in Hindi) Nahi.
- (whispering Hindi)
Oh, milk!
Lemon juice!
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) - Um...
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) - This is chashni? (Hindi)
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) - Let it cool?
(both laughing)
- One minute, I'm really feeling I get it.
And the next minute I'm like,
on another planet.
I have been obsessed with rose water.
Is rosewater (Hindi) gulab jal?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) Haan.
- Yes!
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) (Katie repeating Hindi)
So that's a tablespoon?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) Haan.
- Oh, this smells delicious, divine.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Put it away. We're cool.
Let's chill that out.
(repeating Hindi)
Okay, yeah.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) Bring that dough! Flour dough.
- Yeah.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) - Make little balls.
- (speaking in Hindi) Haan.
- Make little balls.
(upbeat jazz music playing)
How does that...?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- Yup.
(Katie repeating Hindi)
Is it okay that it kind of has bumps on here?
- (speaking in Hindi) Nahi.
- No?!
I ended up rolling the whole thing.
I think some of them have cracks that
you're not going to like.
- They probably won't make the cut.
- This sounds like American Idol, like what's happening?
They're not gonna make the cut?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) - Like cutting?
Do I Google it now?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
I feel like you're to regret this, but sure.
(jazzy music plays)
- Okay, this.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) Haan!
- I do regret
that I didn't take a little bit longer.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) - Which is oil,
which I remember.
So I think I'm just going to fill this up to like where it
would cover the ball.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) Haan.
- I'm assuming we're frying the balls.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) Haan!
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- Oh! (repeating Hindi)
Oh, you put a little "atta"
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) Haan.
- Okay, to see when you don't know the temp.
- Mhm.
- No.
Okay, the oil I think is hot enough.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- I wish you could be here
so you could see if the color is right or not.
I think this guy looks good.
(jazzy music)
We're not all done.
Next steps.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- I'm going to put away the oil.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- Put that to the side. Chill.
Some I did darker than others.
They look okay.
So I think they're pretty cool now.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- You told me this before,
(repeating Hindi words)
what's sugar again?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) Chini.
- Oh, yes!
(repeating Hindi) chashni, chashni, chashni!
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) chashni, yes, chashni.
- Okay, I have it.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- Put the balls in the (Hindi) chashni.
So they're going to soak in this.
Oh my goodness.
It smells like roses, it smells so good.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) (Katie repeating Hindi)
So we're going to let these chill, hang out.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) - Pistachio?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) Haan.
- Cuh- shew, cashew!
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) Badam.
- Badam.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) Haan.
- Buh-dum, ch.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) - Cut, cut, cut.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- So can these be mixed together, or no?
- [Aniket] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) (Katie repeating Hindi)
A plate? A bowl?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) Haan haan haan.
- I've got the bowl.
They're so beautiful.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- Syrup, put more syrup on it.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- Way more?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- This is indulgent.
Oh my God.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) Haan!
(Katie speaking in Hindi) Haan? Haan!
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Okay so I'm just going to sprinkle to my leisure.
Oh, it's so pretty.
Are we done?
- We are done!
- We did it!
- I'm so happy and so amazed at how well you picked
everything up and you did it.
- Thank you so much.
I want to see what yours looks like.
- I am so excited to show you what I have and
taste test it together.
- I'm nervous. I want to see if they're close.
(bright, suspenseful music)
- Do you have any idea of what this might be?
- No.
It looks familiar to me, like I definitely think I've seen
it before, but I've definitely never eaten it before.
- Okay, it is (Hindi language)
- I thought (Hindi word) was the like batter that is...
- I think that's (Hindi word)
- (repeats Hindi word)
That's what I've had before!
- So 'gulab' means rose,
and the 'chashni' is made of rose water.
(Hindi) is actually a fruit in India.
I think it's called a black plum in English.
So this kind of looks like a fruit.
That's why they just call it (Hindi),
but it's not, I mean, of course it doesn't have any
relation to the actual fruit itself.
- Is this like one of your favorite desserts?
I mean, it seems really popular.
I've definitely heard the name before.
- It is definitely popular in the Northern side of India.
My mom used to make this a lot when I was growing up.
So this is like special to me also.
- Oh my, yours are huge!
- Yeah, they've been sitting in this setup for so long,
they've just become so huge.
- So they just grow.
- They will grow.
Like you give it some time, they will,
they should like double up in size.
- Oh my God. Okay.
Because you know what?
I already can see that I put one on the top,
and it's tiny,
but the ones below it are already like swelling up.
- [Aniket] Soaking up.
Let's try here.
- Hm. It's crunchy.
It's sweet.
It's refreshing.
But that 'chashni' is like so refreshing with the rose water
and the saffron.
I want this all the time.
This was so much fun! Thank you so much.
I feel like I learned even more about Hindi today.
I had such a good time with you.
- Same! I had such a good time.
It's always so much fun to
introduce you to
desserts and food I eat here all the time.
- You guys should go definitely check out Buzzfeed India.
There's more videos of Aniket and all his friends.
It's super fun.
And let us know in the comments,
if there's any other challenges
or things you want us to try together, 'cause we just want
to keep hanging out.
- We totally want to keep hanging out.
So let us know what I should teach Katie next.
- All right, well, I'll see you later.
- Bye Katie.
- Bye, bye guys!
