Hello people from around the world!
I am DesiCaliChech!
DESI ~ Born and raised in India.
CALI ~ Living in California for more than two decades.
CHECH ~ My most fun time ever was being a big sister (chechi) to my big brood of cousins in Kerala, Southern India.
My videos essentially capture the essence of an Indian immigrant (from Kerala) in America. Life has been many a times tough, but also, many a times, joyful and wondrous. Embracing both countries and traveling around the world has led me to experience quite a bit of lived life in many parts of the world. Here, I share the outcomes of these varied experiences. A few recipes collected along the way are also thrown in for good measure. Hope you find something you enjoy and go on to incorporate them into your life, no matter where you live.
Cooking, traveling, and family time - See the world from a California - India perspective.

WHAT IT'S LIKE WHEN INDIANS VISIT INDIA
We are not seeking old monuments or soaking in cultural experiences. We are living the old ways of life but also looking for the new. What are the new restaurants? How far has the metro extended? American food chains? Wow! Then we promptly come back to the US or wherever abroad and recall fondly and indulgently how India has "progressed". We feel proud and content. Although uprooted, and voluntarily may I add, we still find ourselves wholeheartedly rooting for India ❤️😊

Hello, what beef cut have you used for the curry ?? Or which is the preferred cut.
My favorite is boneless short ribs which I cut up into curry style pieces.
@@desicalichech thank you for the response. For curry I used to buy chuck roast. But it wasnt that tendor and juicy. But now a days we are buying brisket only as it has that marble layer of fat. Next I would love to try the short ribs and see.
@@JTM_K thank you for sharing. I'll try brisket - fat is everything 😀I looked it up and short ribs (boneless) also comes from the lower side and next to the brisket. I think we are on to something here 😊
It was such an amazing wedding vlog 😍
Thank you 🤗
Hahaha God Bless your family!!
Thank you ☺️
What's the fabric
They called it Chanderi. So I'm thinking its a mix of cotton and silk.
Oh wow!! Will most certainly try this. Thank you for posting this.
Of course! Enjoy 😊
Lovely video! Would love to see more!
Thank you 🙏🏽 So glad!!

This is Tushar from NJ/FL. Thanks Vibha for suggesting the link.. covers many fun topics, Pool care with solar cover, Vir Das, Chinese/Asian dress/art and the The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body, but the soul.
Thank you Tushar and well said on the joys of gardening. Very true indeed 👍🏽😊
Hi, this is Trupti from Vadodara and enjoyed your video specially your talks on your potted veg plants🖖🏽 enjoy the summer in your lovely garden
Thank you Trupti. It really has been so fulfilling to grow veggies even if just a few 😊
Smart! Lovely video! Looks like a very special birthday!
Thank you and yes it was a lovely day 🥰
Thank you for the muslin cloth idea, it strains the ghee even better.
So glad you found it useful 😊
@@desicalichech Keep up the good work. Cheers
Love the commentary on the museum visit. Agree with you on the peony Chinese/Asian dress. Your house looks fabulous. Keep up the good work. Cheers
Thank you! Your support means the world to me 💕
I have been sick and seeing this is really helpful at the moment 😊, about to binge some movies
Hope you feel better and yes, movies help 😊
Nice video 😂👌💕❤❤
Thank you 😀
Are the vendors always in the outside everyday? Or is there only certain days of the week? 😊
Currently it’s on Tuesday and Thursday 10:00-2:00 and Saturday 8:00-2:00 😊
Love the video :-D Just moved to the US, and i lterally googled this title and found this.
Yay nice!! Welcome to the US! 😊
unusual - see u raound,
p̴r̴o̴m̴o̴s̴m̴ 😄
this made my room smell like basil through the screen😊
Yes basil leaves are interesting, they can smell strong - peppery and minty and yet somehow subtle in a pesto 😊
Hello, Nice video thanks for sharing! 👍
Thank you 😊
Looks yummy! 👍
It really does hit the spot 😋
@@desicalichech 😃

@@reneulloa9332 Oh wow wow wow! My dream 😀
@@reneulloa9332 I have one but not very sweet
Hello friend 🙏😊🤝👉🔔✌👍🌹
Hello 😊
I love to go there also
Same!! 😀
wao nice
Thank you, Monika! This one is basic and I'll have one soon using two Indian spices.
@@desicalichech eagerly waiting.
This is a great recipe! I especially like that it is dairy free. I cook all dairy free so I’m always looking for new recipes . I make have a cooking channel too. You are very talent and I’d love to learn more from each other!!
So glad you found this recipe useful. I will check out your channel. All the very best! 😊
I have celiac and hubby is vegan so this is so awesome! 🙌
So glad you found this recipe useful and that it will help with the dietary restrictions. Enjoy 😊
Does the type of butter matter? I usually just get the store brand. Also will it brown properly without a cast iron?
I generally use unsalted regular butter. It will brown in any pan but a heavy bottomed pan is always better to heat evenly. To avoid burning it, make sure to turn off flame when the solids darken lightly, it will cook more in the pan (as mine did 😬)
@@desicalichech thank you!
