As an Indian I really applaud how you handled making your own paneer like a PRO, its an expensive and painstaking process so I think majority of Indians just buy ready made paneer.
when you said “we improvise” i think you indirectly understood the true essence of Indian cooking! We improvise too, cooking is a creative space every time! If we miss an ingredient we try to make things work with what we have already! Instead of improvise we call it “jugaad” though😂 loved the video, i always love how jackson just gets lost in his own little food world when he has the first bite and says “it’s amazzzing!” ❤️
That's good to know lol I never have all the ingredients I need ( just because it is hard to get things where I live) so I'm always having to improvise.
The family is so considerate. They are open to trying new food. The kids are polite and eat their vegetables. What a lovely family! Also, I'm watching hannah years after wine time so I'm surprised how big Jackson has got.
I'm 31 years old and 2 days ago I was invited to an event at an Indian restaurant, I've never had Indian food before...I was so impressed with the food. Can't believe I've been missing out all these years.
I appreciated the fact that you reminded the kids that they could eat with their hands, but only if they felt comfortable, and you even tried it yourself! It's so nice knowing that there are people out there who are curious about different foods and cultures. Thanks Hannah!
I love all of the dishes but saag paneer is the last of the list for sure. Not for her cooking though, the butter chicken and naan is just better than saag paneer in general (in my opinion)
I am from India & I must say this video is extremely satisfying to watch. Personally, I am feeling so happy that you & your entire family showed such humbleness & respect to a completely different culture. Great job 👍

That's fantastic! I think I should try making good dishes ;-; I can't even make a simple Indian dish well (I'm 15 and I'm Indian. Most girls and boys of my age already do many things well 😭)

We first blanch the spinach & then puree it... Deep fry the Paneer (try groundnut oil) to give it a slightly crunchy taste... The pureed spinach by itself is brilliant. Spice it up with some chillies (that is if you can eat spicy stuff)...
Most Indian restaurants in the States serve northern Indian foods like Palak Paneer and Aloo Gobi. Butter Chicken was a made-up recipe that became popular because of the restaurants. And we have these three dishes in almost all Indian restaurants up and down the East Coast of the States. OMG. You cooked everything from scratch like my mom. Kudos to you. I've never made paneer and didn't know it was so easy. This summer, I started making my own roti, which you called naan and I impressed myself with how easy it was and how skilled I became after only a handful of times. Last summer I learned how to make the Hyderabadi Indian dessert called khalakhan, which was similar process to the paneer. It was so easy and tasted like the desserts by the sweetshop that I was totally elated about. I'll send you my family recipes.

@@randomhooman3236 you can try Assamese version of mashed potatoes as this is the basic. You need to boil the potatoes and then mashed it with onions and if you want boiled eggs and Indian pickles.

Hey Hannah, I'm from Trinidad who have a heavy Indian influence through indentureship. When we cook ochra, to prevent it from being slimy, my mum usually cut it up the day before and leave it to just dry a bit and that helps alot!!
I'm also from Trinidad 🇹🇹 If you can't dry the okra the day before you can add 1 or 2 teaspoons of plain vinegar while frying (start with 1) the slime will almost immediately disappear!
Okra has slimyness which is reduced if it's old but it won't be fresh or you can use acidity element like lemon juice or little bit of a vinegar (if u like taste). Otherwise u can get read of slimyness by shallow fry it in oil.
Back in 2020, i was really depressed and this series was like my therapy so not skipping ads is the only way i can pay my gratitude back. Thank you hannah! I really love your family
I am from India and currently living in Canada. I loved watching you try Indian food. Here is a little suggestion for you about raisins. I always loved raisins, when I was back home. Because the raisins we have over there are so aromatic and delicious that you would never hate them. They are known as golden raisins. I can feel you, when you said that you hate raisins. Well I did too, when I tried black (or red) raisins, whatever its called, for the first time in Canada. Because they dont really taste the same as golden raisins which I am used to. So I would love to suggest you to try thematleast once, if it is possible for you to find them near by you.
Wyatt saying “This is why I want to live in India” made my day. Lots of love ❤️❤️❤️. I am from Bengal, which is East part of India. We eat a different types of “marcher Jhol”, kind of a fish stew with vegetables. I would like you to try those. Keep making videos like these.
I love how you're exposing your kids to different cultural foods and it's so admirable how you also tell them that they can eat with their hands. That is something brown people get shamed for and I love that you're instilling in your kids that respect for other cultures and practices.
I only just discovered this site. I have to say this woman is such a joy. I love her dedication to her family. The way she exposes them to new food experiences. I am hooked on Hannah.
You are a fantastic mom. Love your parenting style. Those boys are going to grow up to be thorough gentlemen, kind, humble, open minded and compassionate ❤
I have told my parents repeatedly how thankfully I was that growing up they made it their mission once a month to expose us to different cultural events and food from around the world. We couldn't afford to really travel and this was absolutely the next best thing. Having those experiences and meeting so many people at festivals and events made me love people and food that were different from me and made me less ignorant about the world. So many people live in a box and never even try to expose themselves to anything different and they miss out on so much that is out there. Trying other things doesn't mean you have to like them but it will still help unlock that something in your mind that says you're open to new things.
You should try Romanian food. Eastern European countries have influenced each other's cultures for many centuries, so when I try to explain to people what Romanian food is like I say that it's a bit like combining Greek, Turkish, Slavic and a little bit of French cuisine together. Some of my favourite dishes are: -ciorbă; -sarmale; -varză călită; -mici; -ardei umpluți (mains). -zacuscă; -salată de vinete (side dishes). -papanași; -colivă (desserts)
Yes I would love to see her try Romanian food! I'm not Romanian but I visited for 10 days last year and I had so much delicious food, I find myself craving it all the time.
"this is why I want to live in India" was so adorable and reaction after eating kheer was just wholesome.......as I am an Indian I love eating Indian food although we do try more of foreign food..
Some info: Thin poha just needs to be washed in a colander and water squeezed out. We in south India prefer thick poha, which needs soaking for 5-8 mins, and then water squeezed out. It's more juicy, more fibrous and filling 🥰 Don't forget to add curry leaves, green chillies, lemon juice at the end to the cooked poha! South Indians don't add sugar. Naan has different variations. U can top it up with fried onions/lightly toasted kasuri methi(dried Fenugreek leaves)/toasted garlic or stuffed with mashed, spiced potato or veggies mixture. Do explore more dishes from south, east Nd West India! You'll find some true gems!
What a mom , the kids must be proud of. Can never be more amazing to have one to get these amazing experiences at home, different kinds of food from different parts of the world! Brilliant. Congratulations. Loved this ❤
You’re an amazing Mom and a loving human! Your family is so lucky to have such a humble and hard working being in the family. I am also going to try different cuisines for my family. And lastly .. you really cooked the Indian dishes very well Thank You for showing such love towards our Indian Food and INDIA❤️
I am impressed by what she has done. I am all the more amazed by those well-behaved boys who are willing to try new stuff at that age. It is rather difficult to get many in India to eat lentils!
I don’t usually comment but I’m Indian and I loved watching this! Thank you for being informed by actual Indian people and staying as authentic as possible. You’re so culturally informed in a way that’s very humble and it’s much appreciated.
This actually made me teared up! I love your guys journey and honestly watch BuzzFeed because of you guys and watching kids enjoy Indian food so much warms my heart. Wyatt little " that's why I wanna live in india " caught me off guard and made me aw. You guys are so appreciative of other people's culture and it's truly beautiful to see
Love love love watching all of you eating with your hands! Especially Jackson going at the butter chicken with his hands 🥰 I love everything you’re teaching the boys about embracing different foods and cultures. Your boys will be so much kinder and thank you for that ♥️
man the effort the dedication that too with foreign foods and making it perfectly girl I love you!! i clicked on the video and was just delighted to see your face and energy. your family is so cute. please visit India to have the best food
This video made me cry with homesickness. I moved away from my family and one thing I miss the most is my mom's home-cooked meals. I'm always nervous it won't taste like Ammi made it, so I never made it. But your video inspired me to try and cook with the recipes I have! If you can do it, so can I!
I’m loving this more in depth content. Really giving the boys more context about the origins and the food. Also what mascara does Hannah use cuz the past two vids these lashes are unreal and I keep checking they rot lashes but they look so natural!
I absolutely love it! And wow couldn't believe this was your first time at cooking Indian food. You're great at this! Awwh n loved the cute feedbacks from the kids.
Wow, the biggest plus point is that you videoded this throughout ,and cooking(esp something new) is so difficult and time consuming and it really looked all tasty and Indian loved it 😍😍😍❤❤❤
Wow I loved everything you did and can't believe you did so SO WELL for your first time, you did so much better than many Indians who'd cook for the first time. I'm so happy your family loved the food as well! There's so much more Indian and Veg friendly food you shoot definitely try, just get a recipe book to not feel intimidated and then you're in for a journey!!
Indian food and cooking always involves love and affection and more or less improvisation. I like how all the kids were appreciating of the fact of them being introduced to something new and hopefully they grow up to love them . The dedication you have to make paneer from scrath is remarkable. I feel joy in finding someone else, like me, that too not indian , making panner from scratch and not just buying it out from market . Just love them home made authentic stuffs . What can I say , there's always something there in indian cuisine for your different mood and taste buds.
It feels so good to see you putting so much effort in exploring indian culture through its cuisine.Yes there are numerous options even in the veg section and the taste will never dissapoint you.Well you can always try more and dont forget to get a hold of some simple household curries or veggie options which are simpler and easier to prepare and taste absolutely delicious.MUCH LOVE!
I make huge batches of ghee (7 lbs of butter) in my crockpot, then portion in one lb containers for freezing. I garden so having ghee in the freezer that thaws on the counter in under 30 minutes is a life saver. I love cooking Indian food. My first Indian cookbook is a vedic vegetarian one. I love the recipes in it. So many things to cook Indian you’ll never run out of options. I do usually add garlic and or onions( definitely not Vedic.) I love cooking with turmeric as I suffer from fatty live disease and turmeric reduce inflammation and helps clear the liver. Indian cuisine just helps me feel better
Like Aniket mentioned, I wish you had explored a lot more than just sticking to mostly North Indian. South India has a lot to offer too and is slept on by westerners. And North east has some amazing food as well! Hopefully one day you get to explore more.
The best part is everyone's loving Indian food and Henry mentioning that he wants to live in India is heartwarming. You all are always welcome to India and try enormous new delicacies of India.
As an Indian I’m honestly quite surprised yet happy with ur amazing cooking skills! And yes I’m ready with saffron roti and Normal Roti and Chicken seekh so I’m not hungry 😁😂🤤
I love how you all enjoyed our food! You should totally try South Indian food sometime! There's a huge variety there that you are missing on out...a lot of which is also vegetarian! And then there are snacks and chaats coming from various parts of the country!
I came in expecting very typical western people having Indian food and was left astonished and in awe. You had me at making the paneer at home- most Indians don't do it themselves. You made a fantastic block of paneer, how I wish now that I would make my own too. What I absolutely adored, you were open to let your kids eat with hands or forks if they wanted to, it was lovely to see. We eat with our hands and I understand that some cultures find it a little distressing and different, but the way you let your kids have that experience, I am glad they did. We enjoy food with all our senses, touch being one of them. I know people will say that you tried out the most popular dishes like Palak Paneer and Butter chicken, but it is just totally normal. The instructions for these dishes are easily available, and so are the ingredients and therefore are like a starter pack. I'd absolutely love for you and the family to try other Indian dishes, from all over the country. I truly enjoyed this video.
I really enjoyed watching your kids react to indian foods.I am pakistani and a lot of indian and pakistani foods are similar. The dishes you made are also eaten and loved by masses in pakistan. It was sheer joy watching your family giving positive feed back to those dishes . The only diffrence between indian and pakistani food is that there a not many vegetarians in pakistan as in India .so almost every(not all) dish has some sort of meat in it
It's not only butter chicken, saag , curries, biryani....but also the vegetarian dishes which i feel will take you a long time to actually get familiar with from India... Indian dishes are so diverse a person can taste in a lifetime... Loved your hardwork ....making paneer😍😍
Can we also appreciate how she teaches her kids it’s okay to eat with hands which is a key in my opinion to Indian food and sometimes get looked upon as not good table manners what a great video to watch
This was a great introduction to the kids for Indian food, it would be great to see you do a few more of these to try more authentic Indian dishes that are less popular here in the West as Anikat stated earlier in the video. Thank you for sharing this with us, it's a great way to inspire others to try new things.
A lot of people don’t feel comfortable exploring things unless someone who looks like them / they relate to is letting them know it’s okay. You introduce your audience to diverse cuisines with a kind of respect that is essential. Admitting that you are not an expert & referencing people from the culture. It’s so appreciated. Please try African or Caribbean cuisines! You tried Haitian food once & it made my whole day.
So proud of you, you choose really unique and variety of recipes and executed with finesse...congrats..your family is lucky to have you. Love from India !
I'm happy you tried bits of Indian food, but you should definitely make a part 2 and even 3 to taste all those remaining famous food from India. Biriyani, Pulao, Dosa, Idli, Tikka, Kabab, Chole Bhature, Rice Thali from different regions, paranthas, more curries and vegetable fry are there, Palak paneer, Manchurian, so much more to cover. I hope you do try them though. And Indian deserts, omg, Jalebi, Gulabjamun, Rasmalai, Roshogolla, from my homeland we have Pitha(a kind of rice cake) of different varieties. And so on, it's a never-ending saga, even for an Indian like me.
They didn't even make maggi noodles in this video. That's something they should do if they make a part 2. I'm not indian btw, I just heard about that food from the internet.
I would say, You are not at an OK'est MOM. U r the Wonder MOM. I just loved the video . You are educating your child with different cuisines, and that's a great thing of parenting ❤️. That reaction Jackson gave for trying Rice Kheer is lovely 😁❤️. Waiting for U to try other country's food too.
As an Indian I really applaud how you handled making your own paneer like a PRO, its an expensive and painstaking process so I think majority of Indians just buy ready made paneer.
Expensive? making your own paneer is literally half the price of buying it. and its so easy my 15 year old daughter makes it
@@abcdefv3917 even i can make it
Wait really you are joking it's not expensive it's actually half of what we get from market and it's pure.
Itss so easy to makee
making paneer at home is not expensive at all😂 what are you talking about. it's much more cheaper than buying paneer

Every great cook does
That's good to know lol I never have all the ingredients I need ( just because it is hard to get things where I live) so I'm always having to improvise.
So an improvised curry dish would be called jugaad masala? Because I used to make those all the time for school lunches and they were so tasty
The family is so considerate. They are open to trying new food. The kids are polite and eat their vegetables. What a lovely family!
Also, I'm watching hannah years after wine time so I'm surprised how big Jackson has got.

We usually put the spinach in mixer to get to a puree texture and then cook it before dumping paneer chunks in it. It really makes it super tasty
That's basically adding paneer to saag, I liked the way she made it at least you can chew spinach along with the paneer.
I was speaking of Palak Paneer as opposed to Saag Paneer.

Sorry my English is not that great there are many more but I can't write it in one comment. I suggest you search it in UA-cam.
Hey Hannah, I'm from Trinidad who have a heavy Indian influence through indentureship. When we cook ochra, to prevent it from being slimy, my mum usually cut it up the day before and leave it to just dry a bit and that helps alot!!
Thanks for the tip!
I wash them the night before and let it dry on paper or some cotton clothes. It's never slimy afterwards.
I'm also from Trinidad 🇹🇹
If you can't dry the okra the day before you can add 1 or 2 teaspoons of plain vinegar while frying (start with 1) the slime will almost immediately disappear!
Okra has slimyness which is reduced if it's old but it won't be fresh or you can use acidity element like lemon juice or little bit of a vinegar (if u like taste). Otherwise u can get read of slimyness by shallow fry it in oil.
bro just don't add any water while cooking it will not be slimy. you guys are talking about chemistry labs here lol 😂😂😂😂
Back in 2020, i was really depressed and this series was like my therapy so not skipping ads is the only way i can pay my gratitude back. Thank you hannah! I really love your family
I am from India and currently living in Canada. I loved watching you try Indian food. Here is a little suggestion for you about raisins. I always loved raisins, when I was back home. Because the raisins we have over there are so aromatic and delicious that you would never hate them. They are known as golden raisins. I can feel you, when you said that you hate raisins. Well I did too, when I tried black (or red) raisins, whatever its called, for the first time in Canada. Because they dont really taste the same as golden raisins which I am used to. So I would love to suggest you to try thematleast once, if it is possible for you to find them near by you.
Wyatt saying “This is why I want to live in India” made my day. Lots of love ❤️❤️❤️. I am from Bengal, which is East part of India. We eat a different types of “marcher Jhol”, kind of a fish stew with vegetables. I would like you to try those. Keep making videos like these.
Yes "machher jhol"..i.e fish curry..we love it..❤️🇮🇳
Imagine finding matcher jhol in a YT Comment section of a Buzz feed video... I'm as pleasantly surprised as it I'm shocked!
Wyatt said the same thing for another country in another video! 😁
aah yeh the og machher jhol, machher mathar daal etc
bengal is so beautiful 😍
I love how you're exposing your kids to different cultural foods and it's so admirable how you also tell them that they can eat with their hands. That is something brown people get shamed for and I love that you're instilling in your kids that respect for other cultures and practices.

I only just discovered this site. I have to say this woman is such a joy. I love her dedication to her family. The way she exposes them to new food experiences. I am hooked on Hannah.
You are a fantastic mom. Love your parenting style. Those boys are going to grow up to be thorough gentlemen, kind, humble, open minded and compassionate ❤
omg you did such a great job considering it was your first time cooking indian food! Henry is so cute saying "Paho" 😂
I have told my parents repeatedly how thankfully I was that growing up they made it their mission once a month to expose us to different cultural events and food from around the world. We couldn't afford to really travel and this was absolutely the next best thing. Having those experiences and meeting so many people at festivals and events made me love people and food that were different from me and made me less ignorant about the world. So many people live in a box and never even try to expose themselves to anything different and they miss out on so much that is out there. Trying other things doesn't mean you have to like them but it will still help unlock that something in your mind that says you're open to new things.
I looove how you’re constantly encouraging them to eat with their hands.
All cultures are wonderful and beautiful but it takes an open heart to embrace and appreciate foreign food and ways. Kudos to you and your family!
You should try Romanian food. Eastern European countries have influenced each other's cultures for many centuries, so when I try to explain to people what Romanian food is like I say that it's a bit like combining Greek, Turkish, Slavic and a little bit of French cuisine together.
Some of my favourite dishes are:
-ciorbă; -sarmale; -varză călită; -mici; -ardei umpluți (mains).
-zacuscă; -salată de vinete (side dishes).
-papanași; -colivă (desserts)
I am part romanian, my mom was born there and my grandparents immigrated here and I would love to see this ❤
Yes I would love to see her try Romanian food! I'm not Romanian but I visited for 10 days last year and I had so much delicious food, I find myself craving it all the time.
Gonna try these dishes soon
Daa, super idee. Amazing idea, i totally support it, there are sooo many recipes to try, easy or hard, but it’s always worth it
"this is why I want to live in India" was so adorable and reaction after eating kheer was just wholesome.......as I am an Indian I love eating Indian food although we do try more of foreign food..
You are very talented and your kids are priceless. You go girl
Way to go girl... All the best.... Njoy more Indian food.
There's lot of recipes..
Countless...
As an Indian , this makes me so happy that you appreciate the flavors and taste of our country just the way we do .
Some info:
Thin poha just needs to be washed in a colander and water squeezed out.
We in south India prefer thick poha, which needs soaking for 5-8 mins, and then water squeezed out. It's more juicy, more fibrous and filling 🥰
Don't forget to add curry leaves, green chillies, lemon juice at the end to the cooked poha! South Indians don't add sugar.
Naan has different variations. U can top it up with fried onions/lightly toasted kasuri methi(dried Fenugreek leaves)/toasted garlic or stuffed with mashed, spiced potato or veggies mixture.
Do explore more dishes from south, east Nd West India! You'll find some true gems!
Everyone uses thick poha only, pta nhi ye ladka kahan se aaya he.
What a mom , the kids must be proud of. Can never be more amazing to have one to get these amazing experiences at home, different kinds of food from different parts of the world! Brilliant. Congratulations. Loved this ❤
You’re an amazing Mom and a loving human! Your family is so lucky to have such a humble and hard working being in the family. I am also going to try different cuisines for my family. And lastly .. you really cooked the Indian dishes very well Thank You for showing such love towards our Indian Food and INDIA❤️
I am impressed by what she has done. I am all the more amazed by those well-behaved boys who are willing to try new stuff at that age. It is rather difficult to get many in India to eat lentils!
@@jarjarbinks3193 so true
Omg your kids are so respectful! That’s how you know you raised them well. Kudos to you❤️
I don’t usually comment but I’m Indian and I loved watching this! Thank you for being informed by actual Indian people and staying as authentic as possible. You’re so culturally informed in a way that’s very humble and it’s much appreciated.
Amazing, love that you tried the different Indian recipes and so glad that everyone enjoyed them!
What a bunch of great human beings. Appreciating and being grateful for everything. 🙏
Your kids are so respectful and kind. Their openness to trying new foods is absolutely amazing, y’all are clearly amazing parents!
Thank you for taking the time to pronounce every dish correctly. It genuinely means a lot
Such a relief to see kids with open minds and then, liking what they eat. Great going!
This actually made me teared up! I love your guys journey and honestly watch BuzzFeed because of you guys and watching kids enjoy Indian food so much warms my heart. Wyatt little " that's why I wanna live in india " caught me off guard and made me aw. You guys are so appreciative of other people's culture and it's truly beautiful to see
Teared up, are you sure?
Absolute legend with how you cooked everything SO ON POINT. You truly have tasted the real essence of Indian food.
Too wholesome to watch this
10/10
Love love love watching all of you eating with your hands! Especially Jackson going at the butter chicken with his hands 🥰 I love everything you’re teaching the boys about embracing different foods and cultures. Your boys will be so much kinder and thank you for that ♥️
As an Indian, you made me very proud with all of the cooking you have done
16:44 Awwh Wyatt you're absolutely welcome here! You're gonna find even more delicious food and great people here!
You have lovely kids who are not picky eaters. It's the greatest feeling to have kids love the food you cook
Matt seemed so genuinely happy with all of these new dishes.
Very nice to see the family being so appreciative.
man the effort the dedication that too with foreign foods and making it perfectly girl I love you!! i clicked on the video and was just delighted to see your face and energy. your family is so cute. please visit India to have the best food
This video made me cry with homesickness. I moved away from my family and one thing I miss the most is my mom's home-cooked meals. I'm always nervous it won't taste like Ammi made it, so I never made it. But your video inspired me to try and cook with the recipes I have! If you can do it, so can I!
Oh please do! I would totally eat your food if I could! Hope it's delicious!❤️
Wow ! I’m also living abroad and I’m literally feeling the exact same thing as I watch this . Incredible India :)
I’m loving this more in depth content. Really giving the boys more context about the origins and the food. Also what mascara does Hannah use cuz the past two vids these lashes are unreal and I keep checking they rot lashes but they look so natural!
Your kids are so cute, your hair is so pretty, and your cooking surpasses mine so honestly props ❤
I absolutely love it! And wow couldn't believe this was your first time at cooking Indian food. You're great at this! Awwh n loved the cute feedbacks from the kids.
I love any video that this woman makes and if she didn't exist, I would cry. 😭 Thank you for all your hard work and amazing videos.
Also Hannah that dress you are wearing in the “behind the scenes where you describe the dish” with the little bows is sooo cute!
Really appreciate your effort in making these dishes... Salute!
Wow, the biggest plus point is that you videoded this throughout ,and cooking(esp something new) is so difficult and time consuming and it really looked all tasty and Indian loved it 😍😍😍❤❤❤
Wow I loved everything you did and can't believe you did so SO WELL for your first time, you did so much better than many Indians who'd cook for the first time. I'm so happy your family loved the food as well! There's so much more Indian and Veg friendly food you shoot definitely try, just get a recipe book to not feel intimidated and then you're in for a journey!!
There's a buzzfeed india video on how to cook basically every single indian dish ever. But it's supposed to be funny instead of educational.
Indian food and cooking always involves love and affection and more or less improvisation. I like how all the kids were appreciating of the fact of them being introduced to something new and hopefully they grow up to love them . The dedication you have to make paneer from scrath is remarkable. I feel joy in finding someone else, like me, that too not indian , making panner from scratch and not just buying it out from market . Just love them home made authentic stuffs . What can I say , there's always something there in indian cuisine for your different mood and taste buds.
It feels so good to see you putting so much effort in exploring indian culture through its cuisine.Yes there are numerous options even in the veg section and the taste will never dissapoint you.Well you can always try more and dont forget to get a hold of some simple household curries or veggie options which are simpler and easier to prepare and taste absolutely delicious.MUCH LOVE!
I make huge batches of ghee (7 lbs of butter) in my crockpot, then portion in one lb containers for freezing. I garden so having ghee in the freezer that thaws on the counter in under 30 minutes is a life saver. I love cooking Indian food. My first Indian cookbook is a vedic vegetarian one. I love the recipes in it. So many things to cook Indian you’ll never run out of options. I do usually add garlic and or onions( definitely not Vedic.)
I love cooking with turmeric as I suffer from fatty live disease and turmeric reduce inflammation and helps clear the liver. Indian cuisine just helps me feel better
Like Aniket mentioned, I wish you had explored a lot more than just sticking to mostly North Indian. South India has a lot to offer too and is slept on by westerners. And North east has some amazing food as well! Hopefully one day you get to explore more.

i love this so much! i was nervous too, about how your kids would react but seeing how they liked all the food, i'm so happy!
The best part is everyone's loving Indian food and Henry mentioning that he wants to live in India is heartwarming. You all are always welcome to India and try enormous new delicacies of India.
Wyatt* ... Henry is the baby 😅
As an Indian I’m honestly quite surprised yet happy with ur amazing cooking skills! And yes I’m ready with saffron roti and Normal Roti and Chicken seekh so I’m not hungry 😁😂🤤
I love how you all enjoyed our food! You should totally try South Indian food sometime! There's a huge variety there that you are missing on out...a lot of which is also vegetarian! And then there are snacks and chaats coming from various parts of the country!
I came in expecting very typical western people having Indian food and was left astonished and in awe. You had me at making the paneer at home- most Indians don't do it themselves. You made a fantastic block of paneer, how I wish now that I would make my own too.
What I absolutely adored, you were open to let your kids eat with hands or forks if they wanted to, it was lovely to see. We eat with our hands and I understand that some cultures find it a little distressing and different, but the way you let your kids have that experience, I am glad they did. We enjoy food with all our senses, touch being one of them.
I know people will say that you tried out the most popular dishes like Palak Paneer and Butter chicken, but it is just totally normal. The instructions for these dishes are easily available, and so are the ingredients and therefore are like a starter pack. I'd absolutely love for you and the family to try other Indian dishes, from all over the country. I truly enjoyed this video.
This is awesome !!!! Thanks for this!! Love from india, subscribing already
The best thing about this video is your hardwork to make all this food and
Yes also the kid's ( because real and true reaction)
I love this new content! A great way to include and teach other countries and cultures! Sending all love
I really enjoyed watching your kids react to indian foods.I am pakistani and a lot of indian and pakistani foods are similar. The dishes you made are also eaten and loved by masses in pakistan. It was sheer joy watching your family giving positive feed back to those dishes .
The only diffrence between indian and pakistani food is that there a not many vegetarians in pakistan as in India .so almost every(not all) dish has some sort of meat in it
It's not only butter chicken, saag , curries, biryani....but also the vegetarian dishes which i feel will take you a long time to actually get familiar with from India... Indian dishes are so diverse a person can taste in a lifetime... Loved your hardwork ....making paneer😍😍
Can we also appreciate how she teaches her kids it’s okay to eat with hands which is a key in my opinion to Indian food and sometimes get looked upon as not good table manners what a great video to watch
This was a great introduction to the kids for Indian food, it would be great to see you do a few more of these to try more authentic Indian dishes that are less popular here in the West as Anikat stated earlier in the video. Thank you for sharing this with us, it's a great way to inspire others to try new things.
A lot of people don’t feel comfortable exploring things unless someone who looks like them / they relate to is letting them know it’s okay. You introduce your audience to diverse cuisines with a kind of respect that is essential. Admitting that you are not an expert & referencing people from the culture. It’s so appreciated. Please try African or Caribbean cuisines! You tried Haitian food once & it made my whole day.
So proud of you, you choose really unique and variety of recipes and executed with finesse...congrats..your family is lucky to have you. Love from India !
Thank you for an honest effort ! .... I loved the video .... 🙂 .... 👍 ....
I'm happy you tried bits of Indian food, but you should definitely make a part 2 and even 3 to taste all those remaining famous food from India. Biriyani, Pulao, Dosa, Idli, Tikka, Kabab, Chole Bhature, Rice Thali from different regions, paranthas, more curries and vegetable fry are there, Palak paneer, Manchurian, so much more to cover. I hope you do try them though. And Indian deserts, omg, Jalebi, Gulabjamun, Rasmalai, Roshogolla, from my homeland we have Pitha(a kind of rice cake) of different varieties. And so on, it's a never-ending saga, even for an Indian like me.
They didn't even make maggi noodles in this video. That's something they should do if they make a part 2. I'm not indian btw, I just heard about that food from the internet.
@@laurent.9968 Maggi is instant noodles. They have to make a snack video from different places for that kind of food, but it's tasty.
I know maggi is instant noodles
I would say, You are not at an OK'est MOM. U r the Wonder MOM. I just loved the video . You are educating your child with different cuisines, and that's a great thing of parenting ❤️. That reaction Jackson gave for trying Rice Kheer is lovely 😁❤️. Waiting for U to try other country's food too.
