How to Make Fritters (indian Pakoras) - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. I am going to show you how to make pakoras. Pakoras are fritters made with vegetables such as potatoes, onions, cauliflower, zucchini, and a paste of chickpea flour. So, this is chickpea flour. I have turned this chickpea flour into a smooth paste with water. It is a fairly thick paste and it is all smooth, there are no lumps. If you wish, you can strain it through a sieve to make it nice and smooth. I am now going to add some vegetables. Well, I am going to add a little bit of spices to my chickpea flour paste first. So, a little bit of cayenne pepper, a little bit of tumeric and a little bit of whole cumin seeds. I am going to add a touch of salt. Just going to mix it all up until it is nice and smooth. And now we are going to add our vegetables to this spiced up chickpea paste. So, I have some potatoes I am going to add, some onions. Just going to mix it all up until it is well-coated with the paste. Now we are going to drop this into hot oil which is over medium heat. So, we are going to drop it by the spoonful to make fritters. I am just going to loosen it. Oh, beautiful. I am just going to flip them. The reason they are on medium heat is because the vegetables are raw. So I want to make sure that the fritters get completely cooked and the vegetables are softened. So this would take about three to four minutes in total. As soon as the fritters are done, I am going to transfer them to a ...

Myths About indian Cuisine - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. My name is S...
Myths About indian Cuisine - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. My name is Smita Chandra. I am an author of three indian cookbooks, and I am also a recipe developer. I think the number one myth associated with indian cuisine is that it is hot and spicy. People confuse hot with spicy. Spicy does not necessarily mean hot. A combination of different spices go into the making of a good curry, but they are not necessarily hot. The heat comes from red chili peppers or cayenne pepper and ground black pepper. So if you love a curry, but you do not want too much heat to it -- hold on to all the other spices that go into the making of a curry. Just cut back on the cayenne pepper or the black pepper. The second myth that I think a lot of people think about when they think about indian food is that all indian food is curry. Now, all indian food is not necessarily curry. A curry to an indian refers to any meat or vegetable that is cooked in a spicy sauce. We have a whole range of dishes that do not have a sauce; that are not curried. There is a whole new world out there to indian cuisine that is not just curry. The third myth that I think a lot of people have about indian food is that it is greasy and hard to digest. I think restaurant food may be greasy and hard to digest because they are cooking it in larger quantities and maybe they are using a lot of oil or butter. Home-cooked indian food is light and delicately spiced, using fresh ingredients, fresh curry paste and sauces ...

Using Turmeric in Cooking - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. Turmeric is a yellow powder that is derived from the dried turmeric root. And sometimes we also use fresh turmeric which is available seasonally in indian grocery stores. But the dried turmeric powder is what is commonly referred to as turmeric. It is wonderful in adding a beautiful yellowish golden color to most curries. And what a lot of people do not realize is that it also has medicinal properties. So it helps you digest the food, it helps heal the body from within and it makes the curry look pretty. Turmeric is also used in other ways like: a paste of turmeric and water, if applied to a cut, has antiseptic properties. And if you apply a paste of turmeric and water to your face it clears the complexion and adds a beautiful glow to the skin. So turmeric has a lot of wonderful uses that go beyond cooking in indian food.

Using Fenugreek in Cooking - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. Fenugreek is used in three different ways in curries. It is a really important ingredient in South indian cooking, and it also adds its very distinctive aroma to most curry powders and curry pastes. The fenugreek seeds have all their flavor locked into the seeds, so that needs to be released by frying them in hot oil first. Because they tend to be a little bit bitter, they have to be used sparingly. So, a small amount of fenugreek goes a long way in flavoring a curry. I also like to use fenugreek as dried leaves. I find the leaves are really mellow, really aromatic, and they just add a wonderful curry aroma to any curry they are added to. And finally, we use them fresh, in the fresh leaf form. These tend to be slightly bitter and they need to be sauteed over low heat for a long period of time to get rid of some of the bitterness, but they taste really delicious with vegetables such as potatoes and onions. Or, when they are cooked with chicken or lamb, they are absolutely delicious. Fenugreek, in all its forms, adds a wonderful, subtle, curry aroma to any curry.

Using Coriander in Cooking - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. Coriander in all its forms is used in practically every curry all across India and most of south Asia as well. Coriander adds a wonderful flavor to most curries which is very distinctive, and it also helps the body digest the food. Coriander is used in three ways in most curries. It can be ground into a powder, it can be used whole as a seed which are toasted and ground into a powder or toasted and cracked and then used in a curry, and it is also used as a fresh herb. Each time coriander adds a unique, distinctive flavor to the curry. The herb can be used to make a chutney, can be used as a garnish in a curry or it can be folded into a sauce to add a delicious, fresh flavor to any curry.

Using Cumin Seeds in Cooking - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. Cumin seed is a really important spice that is especially used in North indian cooking, and we use cumin seeds in three different ways in most curries. First, is the whole seed, which has to be fried up in hot oil because all the flavor is locked inside the seed. In order to release the flavor and the aroma from the seed, you need to either toast it or fry it in oil to get the full effect of the spice. The other way we use cumin is ground cumin. Ground cumin is just whole seeds that have been ground up. They are used in curries to add that distinctive cumin flavor to most of our sauces. Now, the third way we use cumin is we toast the whole seeds in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat for about two to three minutes. As soon as the seeds turn a shade or two darker, cool them and then either crush them with a rolling pin or grind them up in a spice grinder and you have toasted cumin seeds. So, it is the same spice, but because of the three different ways of using them, you get a whole new flavor every single time. And that adds layers and dimensions to the flavor in a curry.

How to Make Cucumber Raita - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. Cucumber raita is one of the most popular dishes in indian cuisine, and it is so easy to make, so healthy, so delicious and so quick. To make cucumber raita you start with some plain yogurt, which I am going to put right into my bowl. Your yogurt can be homemade or you can buy it in a store. I am just going to stir it till it is quite smooth. I am going to add some peeled, grated cucumber right into my yogurt. And I have some chopped mint, which goes really well with the yogurt and the cucumbers. I am going to add that. I am just going to stir it up until it is smooth. A nd now I am going to do the spicing. So I am going to add a little bit of salt. And because this recipe is not cooked, it is just a fresh salad condiment type of thing, I am going to add toasted cumins because they are already cooked. So whole toasted cumin seed that has been ground up goes in here. And there you have it, cucumber raita that is super easy, super delicious and super healthy.

The best way to peel almonds is to soak them overnight in water. Cover them with cold water, let them soak overnight so that the peel softens a little bit, and then just lift the almond out and the peel slips right out. That is how easy it is to peel an almond.

How to Peel Garlic - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. My name is Smita Chandra. I am an author of three indian cookbooks and I am also a recipe developer. Peeling garlic is such fun. You just want to hold the clove on your work surface. Hold the knife like this, firmly, with the blunt edge pointing toward you and the sharp edge pointing down to the work surface. Then just give it a good whack with your hand, just like that. And it just peels right off, very easily, because that loosens the skin, and the skin just peels right off. If you find that there is still some skin that is not peeling easily, just give it another good whack. And there you go. It just comes right off, super easy.
