Transcript- since AI subtitles are not always reliable. :) Cheers! (Hey, Richa, What are we cooking today?) So we are cooking my mother's recipe of Mini Aloo Samosas Which are my and my daughter's favourite Awesome! I'm sure I wont make it as brilliant as hers but I'll try (I'm sure they'll be great!) (So give me your earliest memories with these mini samosas.) Actually my earliest memories..I think what makes me emotional with my mother's cooking is..I'd come from school everyday and she'd be cooking some snack for me and the same thing continued when my daughter would visit and I think.. I remember my daughter being most excited by her nani's samosas..every evening she would ask her nani to either make samosa or something else and even now when we go to Bhopal she has to make them for her. So I think they are more precious as my daughter's memories. (It's so tough to live up to the Nani's, right!) You can never live up to them! It's impossible. (Soo..this is flour right?) Around 100 gms and then I'll take 25..1/4th of this in oil to mix with it. (Ok). (And you are adding some...what's that?) That's ajwain. That is salt. (Ajwain is what? Carom..Carom Seeds?) I think so. (I also dont remember :) Mix properly with the oil and then add a little bit of water. (This is the Ajwain or Carom seeds..has a sharpness...very refreshing in less amount) (This is fun right!) Right...so...just give a nice roll...cover it with a wet cloth..leave it for a little while (Leave it for how long?) Just leave it to rest for around 15 mins.. (ok) In the meantime, we can prepare the filling for the samosa. (So this is the slightly smoked aloo..not on purpose but I think it will be quite tasty) While living in Gurgaon and there are all these little markets over there...there was one very small carved furniture market from the roadside...informal all these little small karigars will set up stall.. (Ok..table also- this set is amazing- I love this wood...looks like a...) (So now we are preparing a filling with some..?) So at home my mom normally puts some homemade garam masala in this. I don't make homemade garam masala so I'm using whatever is available which is Everest Garam Masala. And the salt.. (Can we have some green chilies please?) No, we will make this the "Pandey way" When you make your mini samosas you can put anything you like! (The Pandey way has no green chillies) (This is an interesting painting. Let me see if I can capture this..is it on fabric?) No. I think it's on canvas. So I bought it from the artists street in Ubud Bali. (Oh nice!) Yeah. So that entire street with all those struggling artists...sit and sell their lovely work! (Hmm) And I fell in love with this painting. (Btw, I love this wall..the yellow wall and this...this looks like?) That's Madhubani. (Yeah. Wow!) That I got. So in Bhopal, my hometown..every winter every December there's a festival called Lok Rang which is held in a large ground Ravindra Bhavan... is one of their largest cultural centres and it has a huge ground and they have all these stalls where artisans from across India come and sell. So this was 2010 when my daughter was born and she was a few months old and I had come here to shop and... (You know the funny thing...I lived in Indore and I used to visit Bhopal almost like every month...this was back in my Sales days and I never went to these exhibitions or art shows and it's such a pity you know. I must have reeeallly missed out on a lot over there). Because just the craft of MP is very good with all the Bagh prints and Chanderis and... (We have a date Madam! We have to go sometime!) So that painting...that visit to that exhibition was my inspiration to start my business Giftpiper. (Yeah!) I came into the corporate life and that is kind of dormant now but it was an incredible time running it! You can make it any way you like. At times I make it like this and at times I make it like a Chokha with coriander and sauted onions and green chillies like you said. But since this is the way my mom makes it and I am honoring her, I will make it her way. I don't know actually if she even puts Chaat Masala. Sorry Mummy! :) (Actually the simplest things are the most difficult to get right, right). Exactly. Fried. Maida thingie. With Ajwain it tastes nice! (It is very nice) What we will do is- take little balls and roll them into little rounds but I'm not an expert so what I will do is roll it out into a big roti and then I'll cut out bits (Ok) The thickness is...you can even make it thinner than this...or thicker than this. So from these three we will get 6 samosas. Let's cut them into half and...one half..and a lil bit of water... Then make this. And make it into a cone. If it's a little thick then you can press it with your hands to make it slightly bigger. Make sure that it sticks over here and then put in a little bit of the aloo. Still a little bit more...close it. This.. (Nice) And you dont need to make samosa cones. You can make simpler shapes that are quick to make. I'm just making these for reference. Otherwise potlis would be easier anyways. Just pick up the rounds, fill up and close. This is also one shape you can make, but it is safer to fold it in twice so that it doesn't break. Yeah, I think this is closer to the shapes that my mom makes. Put some water. (Nice mehandi on your hands!) Thank you. Yeah. She has done it herself. (Yourself? Just for fun?) Yeah, just for fun and I'm the next target. (Aha! Who's the next target?) (Do you like these samosas?) Yeah, love them. (You love them, ok) (Any special memory?) Whenever I go, my grandma makes them at least once for me..so. (Then lets see..next one..put some water..try to press it..get it even...try to seal...this is fun! Aur topi pehnao Pandeyji. Kya..what was it? Jab tak rahega Samose mein aloo..) Tab tak.. (Something something) Tab tak rahoonga mein tera Shalu. No something like that... (Nahi yaar! Kuchh Lalu walu tha yeh) Nice potlis you are making. I like it! (Cute!) Show! Nice job! (We are testing the oil!) (There goes! Our beeeuuutifull creations! Into the frying pans.) Is it tasty or not? Yeah it is tasty. (Last potli kachouri!) Potli Samosa. (Ah!) (Potli Samosa!) (Its a lovely evening for Chai and Samosa...raining....there's a boy there building a sandcastle) Sliiiightly.. Almost done..so some of them have broken a little. (It's thanks to my beeeeauutiful sealing) No, I think see this one also I made it a little too thin so..some them have cracked. (Doesn't matter. It will be very tasty!) (That's a perfect cuppa ginger tea!) How does it taste? (Too hot! I'm gonna have blisters in my mouth. mmm...Yummm!) Is it done? (Yeah!) (It's very khasta..you know..I've forgotten what it's called in English) Ok. Girls! (Yayy! Yum!) Kaddy you want? (Oh I can't put her) (Youuu tell me- how it is?) Umm..really good. (Yeah? Better than Nani's?) (Cannot. Cannot put her on that spot) (It's all about the taste..bout the taste) No trouble. (It's all about the taste..bout the taste) No trouble. (Potli. Half here. Half there.) Cheers! (Cheers).

This will taste delicious ❤
