(Katie coughing)
- Oh my God.
- Hey guys, it's Katie from Tasty,
and as you know, I am always down for a challenge.
But today is extra special because we are teaming up
with our friends at BuzzFeed India.
- Hi, I'm Aniket from BuzzFeed India,
and today I am going to teach Katie
one of my favorite breakfast recipes.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
(energetic rock music)
Katie, do you know any Hindi?
- No, I don't know any.
- We have three lifelines to help you through this.
The first one is This or That,
where I will give you two directions in English
and you have to pick the correct one.
The second one is Google It,
where if you are lost, you can just Google anything I say.
And the third one is I Am Lost.
If you are completely lost and freaking out,
I will just give you an entire step in English.
- But I'm super excited, I love Indian food.
- I am so excited, but also nervous for you,
but also excited.
So let's see how it goes.
- Go! - Go!
- All right, so I have all the ingredients
that Aniket sent me.
- Katie, do you know what we are making today?
- I have no idea what we're making.
- To get your Hindi juices flowing,
let me teach you how to count from one to five.
Ek is one.
- Like, oh, heartache.
- Two is do.
- Okay, like the dos is like in Spanish?
- Three is teen.
- Like a teen, like a teenager!
- Four is chaar.
- Okay, like a charcoal.
- Five is paanch.
- Oh, ponch, like a poncho.
- So, ek, do, teen, chaar, paanch.
- Yeah, that's correct! - Whoo!
I am like in first grade.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
I heard bowl, lo? (laughs)
So I'm gonna pick a bowl.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Two cup?
Aata? - Yes.
- Aata is flour.
It's like, I feel like this is a really good way
to quickly learn the language.
- Yes is hah and no is nah. - Hah.
So hah,
nah.
So cup, it sounds pretty the same.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Cup, that's it, you're also saying cup.
So, do cup of flour.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Are you saying oil?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Tah, yah, ah? (Aniket speaking in Hindi)
So then, I need a measurement
and I'm assuming it's gonna be these guys?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Tablespoon?
Teaspoon?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Bada, okay, I'm guessing, this is guessing.
I'm doing ek and we've got flour, we've got aata,
we've got bada- (Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Fail, fail, fail, fail, so what's next?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
I'm guessing that's salt.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Water, because I feel like we're making a dough.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Half a cup, half a cup, aranka.
Going in.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
With hands or a?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Add more water if you need it?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Oh okay, paanee is water, I forgot.
How do you say a little bit? (Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Polata.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
I can do this.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Oh, oil!
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Did you already teach me this word?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
(Katie laughing)
Oh my God, okay.
So a little bit more oil.
Okay.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
(Katie speaking in Hindi)
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Put this away, put this to the side.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Cover, oh, like, ooh, so it doesn't dry out?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
I'm gonna cover it in plastic so it doesn't dry out,
which is pretty standard.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Do you say allo, allou?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Is patila potato?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Patila, patila, like a pot?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Patila is a pot!
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
(Katie speaking in Hindi)
- Yay.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- Which is potato, because I've had potato curry before.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
I'm assuming turn on the heat and boil?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
A rum roll, a rum roll-
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Is that an ingredient?
- Um.
- I'm gonna use a lifeline, I'm gonna use a lifeine
'cause I don't know what what's happening.
- Okay, what lifeline are you using?
- So I'm gonna use my Google It lifeline.
Take rest, relax. Is that what you're telling me to do?
- Yes, relax. - Chillax.
Okay.
Till they're soft, I assume.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
All right, great.
Well, we'll be back once these potatoes are soft.
All right, these guys are feeling soft and tender.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Peel-o, peel-o?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
So I'm feeling tilo, done.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Mashing it with a fork?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Mashing it.
Is this a dish that normally takes someone
like no time at all, but I'm very slow?
- This will take me about like 30, 40 minutes.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- Perfect. (speaking Hindi)
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
(Katie laughing)
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Okay, so one teaspoon garam masala,
which I have cooked with a lot,
so I know what garam masala is, delicious.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Is lau coriander?
No, it's not lemon juice.
Um.
- Do you want to use the lifeline?
- I'm gonna use a lifeline.
I'm going to use a This or That.
- (Aniket speaking in Hindi) either means
fennel or red chili powder.
- It means fennel!
- Um.
- No! (buzzer sounds)
No, it's red, it's red chili powder.
(chime dings) (Katie laughing)
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Coriander.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Sounds like you're saying dania.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Good I have this chunky chat.
Okay, half a teaspoon, done.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
The last thing I have here are fennel seeds.
Okay, yep, half a teaspoon, aata.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
I see some ginger paste here.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
I love ginger, oh my gosh.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Lessoon, garlic?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Yeah, 'cause we just put ginger, so assuming garlic.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
I think you're saying two cloves.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Going in.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
We just learned dania.
La, la, la, la.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Weaves, which weave is cilantro.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
I felt like I was learning so much
and now I'm forgetting everything.
Yay.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Salt 'cause that we haven't put any seasoning.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Great.
A little salt there.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Okay, so just mix the potatoes and the seasoning.
I still didn't know what we're doing with that dough.
- You will see.
(Katie laughs)
- So I think this is looking pretty mixed together.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Take the potatoes and make balls?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
A little bit smaller than a golf ball.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Five balls, okay.
- Chaar is not five, but-
- But no, chaar, wait, chaar, wait,
okay, now hold a minute.
(Katie speaking in Hindi)
What was five?
- Paanch.
- Ponch like a poncho.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Board, that's very helpful to me.
I've got a board.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Is it a rolling pin?
'Cause I have one here.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- [Aniket] We learned this.
- (laughing) I feel like I'm in school
and I'm not doing a good job.
Aata is half a teaspoon.
- No. (Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- I know, you've said aata so many times!
And I know I should know it.
Can you act it out?
- The-
- Aata, aata, aata is the flour, is the flour,
and also the dough.
- Yeah.
And you want me to roll the four out?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
A little bit bigger than the balls.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Ah, ooh, are we gonna stuff it?
(gasps) Are we gonna stuff it?
(Aniket mmhmming)
Mm, oh, hoho, hoho!
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Ooh, I'm excited to eat whatever this is.
Okay, rolled out.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Put it, the potato inside.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
And wrap it around.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Does that look okay that this is the problem?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Now roll it again?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
(laughs) I'm just gonna do something
and then I'll check in with you.
(both laughing)
Because I don't know.
This is cool, the front part looks great, I think.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
The back has problems.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
It's fine, yeah, let it go.
I finished my last guy.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Towa, is that a pan?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
I'm gonna turn the heat on.
This is feeling pretty hot.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
I like the crossover here.
- Like, especially now, a lot of people have started
using some easy English words
into their everyday Hindi as well.
We call it Hinglish.
- Hinglish, I like that.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Flip.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Oil. (Aniket speaking in Hindi)
I'm just gonna move my oil so that it touches it.
Yeah, I think it's time to flip. (Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Hondo. (Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Peldo, I palto-ed it and it might be a little burnt.
- (Aniket laughs) That's okay.
Oh, that's cute, that's not, not that's not really, but-
- Did you say it's cute?
- I mean, parathas are cute.
- They are cute. (laughs)
(pan clinks) Suck.
- Oh my God. (laughs)
- I think he's good.
I'm gonna take him off.
(pan clinks)
Again, I let it get a little too brown.
Is it too brown?
- So cute, yeah, that looks, no, that looks cute.
- Oh, cute, cute, okay, great.
What's the word for cute in Hindi?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) Do you guys like go high pitched,
and you're like, pyaara, it's cute?
I think this guy is good.
Is he cute enough?
- Oh yeah, yeah, that looks really good.
- Okay, should we move on to the next step?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
You told me to bring a food processor, so, mixy?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
You say nihao, isn't that Japanese?
- No, I said. (Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- Dania, okay, coriander.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
I have a lemon here?
Mint?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
(Katie speaking Hindi)
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Sounds like lee-moon, lemon.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
(Katie speaking in Hindi)
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
We learned this.
- We learned this.
(Katie laughing)
Salt?
Oil.
No, it's not oil, don't answer that.
Oh, fennel seeds!
Coriander it.
- We put that already. (laughs)
- Why, I don't remember, ginger, ginger, ginger?
- Close.
- Garlic, garlic!
(garlic crunching)
I basically failed.
But I'm learning, and that's okay, I'm just learning.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Are these peppers?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Oh, just do, okay.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Cumin powder?
- [Aniket] Yes.
- Yes, okay, good!
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- Okay, I hear paste, so ginger paste.
Half a teaspoon.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
I'm almost there, I'm so close.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
Namak is salt.
This is me translating. (laughing)
(Aniket speaking in Hindi) A little oil, a little oil.
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no-
- Water, water, water, water, water, water.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
(mixer whirring)
(Katie coughing) I took a whiff of it, and it was,
there was all the pepper in it,
and it hit me in weird place.
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
(mixer whirring)
(Katie coughing)
This is not mixing it anymore,
so I'm gonna go try my blender.
I brought out the big boy.
Let's give it a whirl.
(blender whirring)
(Katie coughing)
- Yeah, that's not really working out.
- This is as good as it's gonna get.
- I am surprised because I thought
that would be the easiest part of the recipe.
- It's fine, it'll still taste good.
- It's basically supposed to be like a dip.
- I'm gonna show you this
and you tell me if it's a nahin or if it's a haan.
- Okay, yeah, that's a nahin. - All right, well, sorry.
I don't think this turned out right.
Are we finished?
Am I done?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
- Amakar char?
We've used everything.
Oh!
- [Aniket] Almost everything.
- Is it this mango pickle?
(Aniket speaking in Hindi)
I'm assuming this is like a dip.
That smells so good,
I cannot wait to try it!
- It is all done.
Do you want to see my version of the dish?
- Yes, I'm very excited to see how they compare.
- (laughs) Let me, let me just go grab it.
- [Katie] I have my final plate, do you have yours?
- I have my final plate, do you want to see it?
- Yours is so different than mine.
- That is not what I thought it would look like,
but it's it's good.
- See, yours is much thinner,
and like, mine would, you could not bend.
- Don't worry about it.
I, even I didn't get it right on my first time.
- Okay, so what is this dish called?
- It's called aloo paratha.
Paratha is like a flatbread and aloo is potato,
so this is stuffed with potato.
That's why it's called aloo paratha.
You can make multiple different kinds of parathas,
but this one is my favorite
because it's such a big, wholesome meal in itself.
And it's usually had with dahee, which is yogurt,
or achaar, pickle, which is what I asked you to get.
But I personally like it with this green chutney,
because the green chutney adds a bit
of flavor and freshness.
- My chutney doesn't really look like chutney.
- It looks like salad.
- It looks like salad. (laughing)
I wanna taste it.
I just ripped it.
How do you do it?
- Yeah, you just rip it, dip it, and eat it.
- Rip it, dip it, and eat it.
All right, I like it.
Mm.
That chutney is spicy!
I wanna try the pickled mango.
It's smelled delicious.
(angelic choir music)
Mm, I don't know what's happening in my mouth,
but it's delicious!
- Typically, it's like a breakfast meal,
but I could have it for any meal.
- Mm, this is so good.
Thank you so much for teaching me.
- No, it was so much fun. - How did you think I did?
- I think you did like a eight on 10 now.
- Thank you, okay, so there's room for improvement,
but not terrible.
- And you got them circled, which is a great achievement.
- Circles, achievements, guys.
Thank you so much for teaching me this recipe, Aniket.
And thank you guys so much for watching.
