- The best food to cook during snowy days - Yakut pancakes or Alaaji!
This dish is also used in our rituals - we always leave some pancakes for spirits.
Ingredients:
1 cup of milk
1,5 cup of water
2,5 cups of flour
1 egg
1 tbsp of sugar
1 tsp of salt
Mix milk, water, egg, salt and sugar. Little by little add wheat flour and stir well. Heat up vegetable oil in a pan and fry pancakes.
If you want to do it 100% Yakut way, leave first 3, 5, 7 or any other odd number of pancakes on a separate plate. Then after you finish frying, leave the pancakes on the ground near your house to please spirits.
Enjoy pancakes with heavy cream and any jam.
Voila!

Maria has a beautiful, unspoiled soul. This is a rare thing these days. Most people are either malicious or callous as a result of external malice. Thanks for sharing your open soul with the Internet and making it a tiny bit better
Most people? I feel sorry for you if most people in your life are malicious or callous. Most people I know of are good honest people. And only a few people are malicious. And I’m sure this is the same worldwide. Just reading the comments on these videos, you can see that. I think your views are cynical.
@@madmattdigs9518 don't be sorry, send bitcoins. Sorry is for condescending mofos
@@keyboardrambo I don’t have any bitcoins. I only have gold and silver. Just give me your address, I will send you some silver. If it is allowed by your local laws.
I agree that she’s great and sweet, but I’m shocked you think most people are malicious and mean. Damn. I disagree but that’s just me.
There's good everywhere! Just look for it. But if u only focus on negativity. That's all u see.
I love how every culture has a pancake of sorts. I'm going to try these. They seem to remind me of a yorkshire pudding. But yorkshire puddings are cooked in the oven and use more egg and we don't add sugar. Here in Scotland our pancakes are a bit different, they have a raising agent and we cook in less oil. But I am going to try these , they look really good and I look forward to sharing with my family. Hello from North Scotland!
You also can try blini. They are also very tasty
Aye I was going to compare it to a Yorkshire pudding. My gran told me as a child they make extra when they had a roast and her favourite pudding at the time was a Yorkshire pudding with butter and jam.
Amazing to see essentially the same dish here prepared a little differently. Must try cooking this for my family some time soon what a treat.
I’m pretty sure you can buy a high quality premade flour mix for pancakes at your local gourmet food store. That way you don’t have to buy the ingredients separately
The quality of the video is just fantastic; thank you for all your hard work! (it was great to learn about Ichchi culture too)
Thank you ☺️
@@LifeinYakutia thanks the Eveny People to save their Reindeer herds. 😂☺
Ahh brings back memories when my mom would suprise me with alaaji on weekend mornings 🥰 now I miss her
What’s a beautiful belief and custom to leave a bit for the spirits. This was so beautiful! ❤️
No, it's not beautiful. It's idolatry.
Thank you for your videos. Yakutia is my birthplace, all my memories are about this beautiful land and my childhood. Now I live in Canada but I always remember Yakutia, always in my heart ❤
I love how share your Yakutia with us …. I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was a very cold winter here. Many days it was only 7 or 8 degrees Fahrenheit. I think it even went below zero a couple of times. … Then one evening I opened TH-cam and saw “How We Heat our House in Rural Siberia -44 degrees”. … I have been watching with awe and respect. You do such a wonderful job. You are truly a blessing to your ancestors. Thank for you sharing your beautiful culture !
Hi👋 I'm a new fan from the Philippines 🇵🇭☺️
To be honest I'm really not a fan of a cold places because my country is a tropical country, but watching your vlogs about YAKUTIA showcasing the beauty of your country, make me want to go there ☺️
. I hope i can go to YAKUTIA someday 🙏💛
These look tasty. I can almost taste them based on the ingredients!👍🏾
My kiddos get these for breakfast almost every day. There is nothing that they'll eat more consistently than this. Also quite simple to prepare. Thank you for sharing!
Excellent- they're like pliable buñuelos. Great timing, too, after our Dia de los Muertos where we give food to our ancestors and other helpful local spirits. The old ways are important to preserve.
I love the ritual of leaving the offering outside for the animals! When I go to barbados this is what we do with leftovers, it always warms my soul to see the birds eating my food. I will try it the other way around one day now too :) thank you for sharing
This is similar to "Pişi" which is a dish in Turkey. We also use "yeast" inside the dough. I dont know if there is any rituals or something in our culture. But yours is so unique and catchy 😌
I think it is more like Fışfış we made in Turkey. It is also very smilar to Lokma Tatlısı. Pişi (pishi) is with less oil and has more baking soda and pops up more I think still kinda smilar. But this is nearly same with Fışfış (Fishfish) except fışfış is soaked into lemon water sugar mix for a few hours before eaten.
Yakutia is a truly beautiful country with a truly beautiful culture. I love how you left some pancakes for the animals. I know you said it was for the spirits but the animal who eats the pancakes and delivers it to the spirit also benefits from the food which is very important in a cold climate.
Yakutia isn't a country, bro, it is a Republic of Russia
@@joshmcgregor4839 It seems to me that Yakutia's constitutional position is similar to that of Scotland. Would you say Scotland is not a country too?
@@ivandinsmore6217 Scotland isn't a Republic of the UK, Yakutia is governed by Russia, all decisions go back to moscow as it is a centralised government. Decisions such as funding and other things go back to Moscow. They have very limited power. Even Kazan doesn't even have proper autonomy anymore and that was given special status a while back, Moscow slowly reduced it step by step. Each region of Russia can decide one or two things with regards to education and maybe a law here and there but I wouldn't say different parts of Russia are their own country.
@@joshmcgregor4839 Even when Scotland was directly ruled from London and could decide nothing for themselves, it was still considered a country. Perhaps Yakutia doesn't think of themselves as a country. Maybe that's the difference.
@@ivandinsmore6217 completely wrong, Scotland gets to decide on funding, school systems own laws (much more freedom than any of the Russian Republics get to decide) even given referendums if they would like to leave the UK. Which they voted against. (I could never see Putin allowing such a thing) in fact Russia literally stopped/bullied it from leaving in the 90s when nationalism and exiting Russia was sky high. (makes sense due to the HUGE amount of resources and not to mention the biggest diamond mine in the world). If you think Scotland is remotely like yakutia, you're delusional.
Wow. Thank you, Maria. I've been watching a lot of videos on Yakutian culture. I certainly wish to visit it someday. You're such a humble soul. In India too, we do have a bit of Icchi, offering a bit of our food to the spirit of nature
I've honestly fallen completely in love with Yakutia ❤️ the people, the culture, the nature. I hope I can visit one day! Can't wait to try this recipe
I got to see a very interesting video with my friend's introduction.
I don't understand English well because I'm Korean, but fortunately, your pronunciation is good, so I understand a little. Thank you for introducing us to an amazing world.
I loved the tradition you left pancakes for mediators this felt thankfulness💫
I'M an Indian ...and a Hindu ..so in hindus we also give the first bread or let say chapati/roti in Hindi language for the cow and the last bread or chapati/roti for the dog ...thank you for sharing your culture ... I'm from Kanpur , Uttar Pradesh (north-central india) we also have winters but not the snowy or harsher one like you the minimum temperature here in winter is 2-3 and in summers maximum we get 40-45 on average we also get Monsoon/rainy season b/w July to September ...have a good day ...Namaste🙏
These are just like uštipke! They're delicious. Although usually at home we use a lot less oil.
Those pancake look delicious. Lovely atmosphere with all the equipment and processes. Its like a special moment to look forward to
Thank you for sharing your culture with all of us. I want to try this.
I was born in UA. Didn’t realize how big Russian was! It’s amazing how many different cultures it truly has! I’m intrigued and love learning about your culture!
We called it malpoa in Bengali. We add fennel seeds, it smells good.
We bengalis eat pithe in winter.😋😋
Hn but hm egg use ni krte
@@aartibarve968 hum egg use karte hai.
Yes, I like them with wheat flour and jaggery instead of sugar
But we don't use egg as malpoa z more of a prasad for us
Kış aylarının soğuk geçtiği güzel ve farklı bir yer
Maria I love your videos and this healthy, calm lifestyle in Yakutia! Thank you for all the hard work to bring us your world! God bless and protect you and your homeland!
What a beautiful culture and video! You exude so much calm and peace. I love it!
Best wishes from a German fan
Greetings from Mongolia and your channel fan. As watching your videos I realised that our lifestyle is so similar. I’ll travel to Yakutia next year (if pandemic situation get better). Cheers, stay warm.
Türkçe altyazı seçeceğinin eklenmesi güzel olmuş :))
Thank you to share this ritual. I live in Yucatan, Mexico is always to warm, just 4 months a year the weather is ok, most of the time we use A/C and we use ice to refresh our drinks. I just started watching videos of Yakutia we have a lot to learn from your culture and hard work every day, since early in the morning, it is amazing and motivating!
I learn to make it just from watching without even a single word spoken. :)
We have that kind of pancake here, we call it "kue cucur", it is really quiet the same 🙂, watching your video really amazed me, 'coz I live in tropical country 🙂, I never imagined -50 C before 🙂, thanks for sharing, very good video, stay healthy and warm greetings from Indonesia 👍🙂
Thank you for your beautiful videos! I’m going to try Yakutian alaaji this weekend, I have cream and lingonberry jam!!
Finally big sister appeared again. I miss you so much
Thank you so much for sharing .
It is nice to see the other part of the world ...And to witness their customs and beliefs ...Watching from USA
Great to learn about your customs.. Leaving a bit for the spirits..
I am Bangladeshi, love 💓💓💓 from Bangladesh.
In shamanic religion, I read that every living thing in nature has a soul and is offered to them before anything that is eaten or drunk. you confirmed this.
Müslüman değilsin sen
@@ardagg899 good
Which religion is that?
Made this morning!!!!! Everyone loved them, thanks for posting this!! This is going to be a breakfast staple now!
it makes a lot of sense to offer the first to the spirits. thank you for showing us this recipe maria
Sounds demonic, I'm surprised Russia tolerates pagan superstitions.
@@annemary9680 what she is practicing here is shamanism. paganism is a completely different religion. its kinda rude to say it is 'demonic'.
Definetely it doesnt make a sense. It s 2021 and still certainly superstions are hard to die
@@annemary9680 this is their tradition and culture and has nothing to do with any kind of demonic stuff. Smilar rituals done by Koreans and in Turkey too. Sakha people are known for being kind helpful and wise they have a great culture and they have extremely low crime unlike many other countries. Sakha people are respected in Russia. Siberian people are known to be great people in Russia I met many of them including Sakhas and they were very hospitable and kind and generous. Siberian people are one of the best people on earth that is what I think after meeting with them.
Great video, very peaceful and I love alaaji too. Thank you for sharing part of the culture and traditions around the world
I love your video. Feel amazing the way Yakutz people respect to the nature. It's so wise, keep being a part of nature, eventhough being hardest place on earth, but also being the purest environtment and the purest heart of its people.
Love from new subscriber from Indonesia.❤
Big like💗🌷🌷🌷 beautiful upload nice share excellent vlog 🥀
Just started watching this channel today and probably would watch it more tomorrow. As someone living at tropical climate, i found yakutia fascinating
Just adorable. My Nonna used to make similar pancakes that she called "bolinho foiado"❤ Thank you so much, I appreciate for your lovely videos. Here in Brazil we suffer from horrible hot weather reaching 41, 42° degrees. Love seeing your videos.
When I watch your videos, I feel relieved. Greetings to our esteemed brothers from Turkey.
I totally get how this is comfort food during the winter. My mom does her own version but with apples. Whenever we have too many apples that are about to go bad she'd cut them up, toss them into a batter and make little fritters. She sprinkles some brown sugar on top but i prefer it with a bit of peanut butter.
p.s. Love the big bowl you're using. Reminds me of traditional chinese plates designs but with a unique regional twist.
Ahhh... fried dough is universally loved around the world!
I recently found your channel and I'm already interested about Yakutsk and Siberia in general is so fascinating and your channel makes me feel like I've lived there so thank you for everything
Ciao from Italy
I love this thing of offering a piece to the animals!! Thanks!!!
True meaning of life🙏🏻❤️👍🏻😍i hope someday i can visit Yakutia
This kind of food is known MALPOA in india 🇮🇳,,,
Lots of love from india,
Thank you friend,
I'm new to your channel. Just LOVE where you live!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful life!!!
the same recipe here in India called malpua (no eggs added to it, rest same) it is fried and dipped in sugar syrup.. and eaten with cream.
The same kind of belief too in hinduism, the first piece of anything made is kept aside in the name of god or faith. Then it is left on railings for birds to take away. We do believe that birds (mostly crows) are our ancestors visiting us.
Thank you for sharing such video. Keep uploading more about Yakutia.
I love seeing cooking or food related videos! 💕
Looks incredibly tasty 😋
Reminds me of Frybread except we add salt and baking powder and no sugar. If we want a sweet treat we just add honey/ powdered sugar
My wife's friends who are JWs, Yakuts, do not believe this, but through the bible believe every living creature has a soul that makes up a person.
This is so beautiful...greetings from Atlanta, Georgia US 🇺🇸
Yakuts pancake remind me "kue cucur" or "coating dough for banana fried" in my country, Indonesia. The dish is my traditional food too. We can see that dish in the traditional market, it's like common food in here. Next time I will try to cook this dish
My mom made me these pancakes 🥞 growing up it was my favorite treat. We are Vietnamese, but the ingredients and end result are all the same!
Imma making these for Christmas for sure!!! We make something similar in Puerto Rico
And we will cook it for New Year ☃️🎄 it will be very good for Christmas table 😋
@@LifeinYakutia awesome!!!!! Thanks!!!
With Love from India 🇮🇳
We have similar stuff in Romania, though they are not called pancakes, but they are quite similar. It's nice to see how each culture shares different foods even though they are quite apart.
have you ever heard a country called Ethiopia, in Africa? am watching you from there and love your videos. ❤❤❤❤❤
Love pancakes! Delicious! Hope to see more videos of your lifestyle in 2022!
Thanks for sharing your culture and food with us! This is truly awesome!
Glad you enjoyed it!
so peacful and relaxing video for me！thanks for sharing！❤❤❤ Tradition food and ways are precious.
I love the egg trying to escape its fate in a pancake by rolling away!
Ça a l’air super bon, bravo. Je rêve très souvent depuis ma Suisse 🇨🇭 dans les Alpes où je vis de venir visiter ta région une fois dans ma vie et de passer vous amenez du chocolat swiss …peut être un jour..
yakut food looks very comforting
I love the idea of feeding the birds so they will carry the food to the spirits. It shows a respect and a reverence for Nature. In the UK we are fond of scones, a light pastry baked into tall-sided cakes, which we dress with clotted cream and strawberry jam just like you do with alaaji! There is always a light-hearted argument about whether we should apply the jam first or the cream. I'm firmly a cream first guy but my brother is contrary. I really enjoy your videos and I would love to visit Yakutia one day.
The music is so soothing 😍
Another delightful gift from you Maria♥️♥️
I know the birds will love this!!
Beautiful relation and respect with the nature,
Your videos have always such a nice, calm atmosphere. Love it. 😊
Great to hear from you!
We use to cook alaaji in Armenia Idk how it came to Armenia, but I am glad it came, I like alaaji so much especially when my grandmother cooks them, and now I know that it it’s yakutian traditional dish but not russian, thank you, stay safe 💕
We accept you as our ancestors and we love you very much👋❤️
I don't know how I landed here. But I love all your videos. Tonnes of loves from Nagaland, India. By the way, you look like an Asian girl. ❤❤😇
this channel is so calming
This looks so delocious, I have to try it! Thank you so much for the recipe! I love your videos about Yakut recipes! :)
Mmmm yes I love making pancakes! In our family recipe we also add oil and baking powder, but I like this recipe. Fried in oil mmmm 💖 I've got to try making Yakut pancakes sometime!
Woow amzhing video love you from Mumbai India 🚩
Love Yakutiya
Hola mi muy estimada amiga. Gracias por la receta. 💝Es fácil y muy sabrosa. Calientitas con un té o café.
Te e visto en varios documentales.
Es muy interesante. Rusia y su clima tan extremo pero. Me encantaría visitar. Pero no sé si aguante el frío.
A mí me gusta más el frío que el calor.
Con la ropa adecuada. Pienso que si podría disfrutar de yakuts.
Y sus hermosos paisajes blancos. Que tanto me RELAJAN.
HERMOSA! SALUDOS DESDE GUADALAJARA JALISCO MÉXICO 🌏 ABRAZOS CALUROSOS.
Beautiful!
I grew up with pancakes, but here in the northeast USA it would be sacrilege not to eat them with real maple syrup!
Thanks for your fascinating (and very nicely done) videos.
Hello Maria, Your videos are really cool. Thanks for sharing such nice videos. Lots of love and respect from India
Your videos are fantastic!
The pancakes look delicious!!
Thank you so much for the background on your wonderful Sakha traditions. I really appreciate your content as always
I watched a video about -- 71C a day in the coldest village in the world and they had this pancakes for breakfast. It reminded me of something from a long long time ago i cant explain and so i found your video. Tomorrow i will make this pancakes myself, even if it is pretty warm here where i am living now.
cheers from Thailand and THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH ♥
Everything was beautiful, the culture, the food. Please leave the description on the screen a little longer. Thanks
You tube recommend a video to me and I've watched like 15 of them so far 🤗 and the first one had this dish and it looked so yummy! Thanks for making this video. I gre up with something a bit similar from the carribean - we call it fry bake, and there's baking powder in it so it puffs up when fried. More like a dough instead of a batter. Can't wait to try this!
They look absolutely delicious !
Hi, greetings from Berlin Germany! I like youre channel and the native culture... THX!!!🙏
Maria is the most lovely person.
This is like an ASMR video. Very relaxing to watch. Looks tasty too.
This place looks like a sustainable heaven I love it so much oh my good
Thank you for this very interesting video. I enjoy watching the way you live and learning about your beliefs and lifestyle.
You do a great job with narrating and editing your videos!
Much Love and Many Blessings 💛🙏🏼
