01:26 So, Loyola, what would you like to be

01:29 Well, I haven't really decided yet.
01:31 I mean, there's so many things to be
01:33 but I know when I grow up I'll be great.
01:35 Good, good thinking.
01:36 Yeah, exactly, you don't need to know just yet.
01:38 It's good to take some time
01:40 to decide what you really want to do, that's awesome.
01:42 And Braden, do you know?
01:43 I think I know.
01:45 I wanna be a pilot.
01:46 Oh, well. That's fantastic.
01:47 What sort of pilot? What sort of pilots are there?
01:49 There are missionary pilots,
01:52 commercial pilots, private pilots...
01:56 Okay, good.
01:58 Do you know which one or you're gonna wait for later?
02:00 Hopefully, when I get up in the sky I'll know.
02:02 Oh, yep, that's a good plan.
02:03 Excellent, very cool.
02:05 And do you guys have any friends?
02:07 Do you have any, Loyola, do you have any friends
02:08 you wanna say hello to?
02:10 Back at home, who is your best friend?
02:13 Probably my stepsister Ripley.
02:14 You say hello to Ripley.
02:16 Hi, Ripley.
02:17 Hello.
02:19 And do you have any friends,
02:20 specific friends or lots of friends?
02:22 Lots of friends. Okay.
02:23 So let's say hi to your friends
02:25 'cause you have lots and we don't line them all.
02:26 Okay. Hi, all my friends.
02:28 Hello, good to see you.
02:30 Excellent.
02:31 Well, we better get down to some cooking.
02:33 So thanks for coming along and we have a lot of fun today
02:35 and share with you guys some great healthy cooking tips.
02:38 So let's see what is on the menu.
02:42 Today we are having
02:44 Indian lentil and Spanish dal with brown rice and peas.
02:49 And for dessert, we are having pineapple and coconut lassi.
02:55 Okay, let's get cooking.
02:57 So before we start
02:58 it's really important to have a nice clear bench,
03:00 all our dishes are done.
03:01 We've got some pots on the stove
03:03 that we're going to use.
03:04 We've previously boiled the jug,
03:06 so there's boiling water ready to go.
03:08 We've got a chopping board
03:09 and we've got all our ingredients out,
03:11 so we're ready to go.
03:12 A little bit of planning
03:13 that you can spend before the meals to get ready
03:15 can save you minutes and minutes later,
03:17 so planning out and thinking ahead
03:18 is a really important thing that we do in the cafes.
03:21 So it's really good.
03:22 So at first, we're gonna start
03:24 with the things that's gonna take the longest,
03:26 and on that list of things that's gonna take the longest
03:27 is the brown rice.
03:29 Oh, you knew that, did you?
03:30 Oh, excellent, that's great.
03:32 Well, you need to help me here, Braden.
03:33 So what we're gonna do,
03:34 we're just gonna turn the gas on here.
03:37 I'll just turn on here.
03:38 So with rice, what we want to do is put on,
03:41 we're gonna use some mixed rice.
03:43 So if you can measure out
03:44 one cup of mixed rice... One?
03:45 I will just turn the gas off so it doesn't...
03:47 Yeah, one cup of that.
03:48 So there's one cup up to that mark there.
03:50 And if you can go and get the boiling water
03:52 and we'll put in two cups of boiling water.
03:56 And this is a general recipe for rice.
03:59 Pick it up with the handle,
04:01 you're right there and bring it over here.
04:03 Oh, heavy.
04:04 It's very heavy, it is.
04:05 Very heavy. It's like bird seed.
04:07 So with rice, brown rice, you can use a rice cooker,
04:09 but the easiest way
04:10 is just use this recipe one to two.
04:12 So one cup of brown rice to two cups of boiling water
04:15 and it will give you perfect rice every time.
04:18 Okay, pour that in the pot.
04:20 And if you can measure out two cups of boiling water,
04:23 so measure up to there,
04:25 that line there, that's a two cup jug.
04:26 Okay. And put that in.
04:28 You're right.
04:29 Oh, boy. It's probably heavy.
04:31 Do you want a hand there? Oh, I got it.
04:32 Just don't touch the glass because it's the hotbed.
04:35 There we go. Pour it in.
04:37 So if you got, we're really using hot water
04:39 just make sure you get your mom and dad to help you
04:40 if you need to
04:42 'cause it can be very dangerous.
04:43 So there you go, a little bit more.
04:45 Perfect.
04:46 So if you wanna pour that in there, well done.
04:49 There you go.
04:50 And the reason I'm using boiling water
04:52 is it probably takes around about,
04:53 you know, five to ten minutes
04:54 for water to come up to the boil,
04:56 so it's gonna make the cooking process
04:57 much, much quicker.
04:59 Okay, if you want put lid on, Braden.
05:01 So when we're cooking rice, there's two rules.
05:04 Number one is don't stir it,
05:08 you kind of want to stir up but when you cook rice
05:09 a little steam beams appear in the rice,
05:11 they actually cook it.
05:13 So if you stir it, you just stir those steam beams
05:14 that doesn't cook properly.
05:16 And the other thing is you want the lid on
05:17 because you want the moisture to go into the rice
05:20 not kind of float out into the air.
05:22 Yeah. Excellent.
05:23 So that's a good start,
05:24 so that's very quick thing to do there.
05:26 And why do we use brown rice?
05:29 I think I know. Yeah.
05:31 Because it's healthier than plain white rice.
05:33 Exactly.
05:34 So to make white rice I take brown rice
05:36 which is full of fiber and vitamins and nutrients.
05:38 They strip off all those fiber and vitamins and nutrients
05:41 and left with the white rice.
05:42 So basically, brown rice is the whole rice
05:44 with all the good stuff in it.
05:45 So yeah, great answer.
05:47 So when it kind of comes to the boil we'll turn it down,
05:49 so it's just simmering
05:50 and that means when it's just bubbling.
05:52 So we got the first job on, we got the rice done.
05:55 So now we're gonna start the dal.
05:57 Doesn't that sound exciting? Yeah.
05:58 So I'm just gonna chop an onion up here.
06:00 What I've been waiting for?
06:01 What have you been waiting for? What's that?
06:03 The dal. The dal, yes.
06:05 I think you guys, if you like Indian food strictly
06:07 don't you, Braden, yes, that's excellent.
06:09 So I'm just gonna chop this onion up here.
06:11 It's little bit fatty,
06:13 so I'll just rip into it this time
06:14 and then chop it up.
06:15 So just a simple onion
06:17 like that, you can put that in the rubbish bin.
06:19 And we're just gonna chop it up nice and fine like this.
06:22 So you might, if you're happy with knife you can do,
06:25 or you may want to get mom and dad to help you.
06:28 And it's good to just economize on your cutting.
06:31 And when you're chopping, you want to make sure
06:33 you're slicing the blade through the onion like that.
06:36 You don't, you're not pushing down,
06:37 you're pushing through it, so you're not doing that.
06:39 So it's really hard
06:40 but if you slide the knife through,
06:42 it's much easier.
06:46 So we'll just turn this, this guy on here
06:48 and now that one's on and this one here is on now.
06:52 And so if, Braden, you can put that in the pan there.
06:55 And if, Loyola, you can put some olive oil in.
06:58 It's a pretty... Yep, about one tablespoon.
07:01 So just tell you...
07:03 Yep. Yes, measure it out. That would be great.
07:05 Oh.
07:06 Oops. Oops.
07:08 It's great. Oh, use another one, this one.
07:09 Okay.
07:10 Use a...
07:12 just use a couple of those, yep, that's great.
07:13 So if you wanna measure it in there.
07:15 This is a really good way to start a dal
07:17 and we're gonna kind of go with some onions.
07:20 And... It's not opening.
07:22 Oh, there you go.
07:23 Oh, it's got little slippery thing on it.
07:25 There you go.
07:26 Which one of these? Three of those.
07:28 It's a teaspoon, so do it over the, over the...
07:31 over it.
07:32 Lovely. And we put it in it?
07:34 Yep, put it in.
07:35 So it's one teaspoon equals three...
07:37 Is one, three teaspoons is one tablespoon.
07:41 Lovely.
07:42 And Braden is ready with the spoon,
07:44 ready to stir it.
07:45 It's brilliant.
07:47 Okay.
07:48 And if you want to put in...
07:50 Two tablespoons of that.
07:52 Make sure I'll get a tablespoon measure for you.
07:53 You actually might be here all day.
07:55 I think we got one here somewhere.
07:56 So you're gonna put in two tablespoons of ginger as well.
07:59 Yes.
08:00 And while you're doing that, I'll do the garlic,
08:02 put in two cloves of garlic.
08:04 So garlic and onion... Looks like applesauce.
08:07 Does too.
08:09 So garlic, ginger's a really great thing to have in dals.
08:12 I'm gonna put that in. Put it in there?
08:13 Yep, put it in there.
08:15 And get a little, and a heater really make it smell lovely.
08:18 Excellent.
08:20 Now just chop up this bell pepper here,
08:24 which is also called a capsicum,
08:26 and we'll put it in.
08:31 Okay. Well done.
08:34 I'll just cut this up.
08:37 Look at that.
08:39 Do you like bell peppers?
08:41 You like the green ones, that's...
08:45 Okay, throw that in there as well.
08:48 Throw it in the pot.
08:50 Yeah. Okay, wait.
08:51 Smells good.
08:52 Great.
08:56 Looking good, guys.
08:57 Yep, throw it straight in, just throw it in.
08:59 Yeah, just put it in. Drop it in.
09:00 Wow.
09:02 It's looking really good.
09:04 And now we're gonna put some spices in,
09:07 and we want to put a teaspoon...
09:10 What if I want to eat one piece?
09:12 If you want to what? Eat one of those.
09:13 Yep, you could eat.
09:15 And that's a good thing about cooking,
09:16 when you're cooking you can actually eat.
09:18 So let's have a little bit of capsicum if you want.
09:21 Just don't, don't double dip, put it in your mouth and eat it
09:23 'cause it's crunchy.
09:24 Is it nice?
09:26 Yummy, nice and fresh. Favorite food ever.
09:28 Yes, excellent.
09:30 Okay, now we want a teaspoon of each of these.
09:32 So we got some curry powder,
09:33 we got some turmeric and we got some coriander
09:36 and they're really good basis to make a dal,
09:38 so one teaspoon of each of those.
09:40 Keep stirring well.
09:43 Excellent.
09:44 Great stirring skills there.
09:45 Have you noticed this rice?
09:47 What's happening here, it's all bubbling, isn't it?
09:49 Whoa, yeah.
09:50 So we're just gonna tune that down,
09:51 so it's just, just bubbling.
09:53 You keep on a very low sizzling.
09:54 In it? Yep, throw it in.
09:56 So one teaspoon of each of those.
10:01 Wonderful. Did you try it?
10:04 Throw a little bit on my finger.
10:05 Probably it won't taste very nice until it's cooked.
10:09 Brilliant.
10:10 So lovely Indian spices will make this dish taste
10:12 very, very authentic.
10:14 Just tip it out into the spoon.
10:17 Well, up, most of it, none over there.
10:20 Keep tipping.
10:21 Lovely. Doing really well there.
10:25 Do you mind put like tapping it or something.
10:26 Sure.
10:28 Here we go, come on.
10:30 There you go, yep.
10:31 Lovely.
10:32 Put that in.
10:34 And the other one is the curry powder.
10:36 Well, we'll take this off.
10:37 Oh, that might be a little bit easier.
10:39 There you go. It's gonna be good.
10:42 Wonderful. Yeah, I'll eat it.
10:44 So this is a great start to this dal
10:46 as these lovely flavors with the garlic,
10:48 the ginger, the onion
10:52 with the capsicum
10:53 and the spices gives us a really good flavor base.
10:57 Which brings us to a next ingredient
10:58 and dal is basically a lentil dish in India.
11:02 That's what basically people...
11:03 In India people call a dal is a lentil dish.
11:05 Tastes good?
11:07 Good? Smells good.
11:08 Can you smell that? Yeah.
11:09 It smells great, doesn't it.
11:12 So this, you see this red lentils here.
11:15 So these guys here are full of protein
11:18 and they're like really amazing.
11:19 And the best thing about them
11:21 is they only take a round about 10 to 15 minutes to cook.
11:25 So we've only got 30 minutes, they're really, really good.
11:27 And they go nice and creamy
11:28 and they're really great thing to have.
11:30 So if you can... Where do you put them?
11:31 We're gonna put them in there. Okay.
11:32 So if you're wanna measure out,
11:34 I think we want one in...
11:36 How much we want, we can look at the recipe.
11:39 We want, lentils, lentils,
11:41 lentils, one and half cups.
11:43 So if you can use that cup that we had before
11:45 that's gone missing somewhere.
11:46 It ran away.
11:48 It just ran away,
11:49 where does it gone, quick find it.
11:51 Well, here's another one anyway.
11:54 Okay.
11:55 It's the case of a disappearing cup.
11:57 You got it over there. That should be above.
11:59 Exactly.
12:00 Brilliant, so put that in there.
12:02 You want one in it?
12:03 You get one and a half, so that's one.
12:06 So make sure when you're measuring stuff out,
12:07 make sure you go to the rim, so keep going.
12:08 So when you get at there
12:10 that's totally, totally even with the rim.
12:13 It's looking pretty close.
12:14 Yep, wonderful.
12:15 Put it in there? Put it in there.
12:18 One.
12:20 How's the stirring going there, Braden?
12:22 My arms are little tired but...
12:24 Yep, keep stirring. Working.
12:25 And I might just turn down a bit,
12:27 see it's burning a little bit,
12:28 so we just tune it down to low
12:31 so it won't burn. Keep it, keep it...
12:33 It's probably the olive oil.
12:34 And the olive oil helps not stick actually.
12:36 No, it's just burning there.
12:38 But okay, half more cup of lentils.
12:39 So it's one and half cup. So fill it up half way.
12:43 And then after that...
12:46 Oh, I found that missing cup, look at this.
12:47 Wait, full or half?
12:48 Just half a cup. Perfect. Yep, that's enough.
12:50 Put that in as well.
12:53 Lovely.
12:54 And then we're gonna put some water
12:55 and we have four cups of boiling water.
12:57 Case solved.
12:58 So, one, two...
13:00 So again be really careful.
13:01 And when this goes in,
13:03 it will stop it from burning as well.
13:05 So one and...
13:10 is it gonna make it, is it gonna make it?
13:11 Yes.
13:13 How many cups did I say? Four.
13:16 So there's four cups of water, boiling water.
13:19 And again, the boiling water is gonna cook quicker.
13:22 So look at that.
13:23 So as you can see,
13:24 it looks like a bit of a soup at the moment.
13:26 But the more we keep cooking
13:27 this will start to get thicker and thicker and thicker.
13:29 Those lentils will get softer and softer and softer,
13:31 and it'll become a nice kind of soft mushy dal
13:34 which will be great
13:35 and we'll have it on the brown rice.
13:36 The brown rice's gonna make special
13:38 so hold on to later for that.
13:40 So there you go, we've made an excellent start
13:42 on our recipe, haven't we?
13:43 We've done well.
13:45 So the rice and the lentils under...
13:46 The dal underway.
13:48 So, yes, the meal is going on really, really well.
