Healthy Start to the Weekend: Gluten Free Lauki Muthiya and Indian Grocery Haul with an Indian Mom in USA
hi everyone welcome back to my channel I hope you all are doing really well I’m not going to say sorry because I know sorry doesn’t justify this at all because I haven’t post the video for so long but uh life has been so crazy and I’ll share all that craziness with you guys but first of all thank you so much.
For those of you who reach out to me ask me if everything is okay on my side so thank you so much really appreciate um as you can see I’m in my car right now because I came to Patel Brothers it’s been about uh month or so since I came here so I was like before I go in I just want to talk to you guys for a few minutes so where should I.
Begin oh yeah I changed my job I now work from home I manifested this job didn’t know it would be that quick and now I’m giving second thought to it like whether I made the right decision or not um so the reason I did it is because my husband also worked from home so I see the benefit of it like he doesn’t have to drive anywhere he’s not in the.
Traffic save so much time and all that that Stu so I was like oh let me try it too sure enough apply for this job didn’t have any problem at with my previous job at all but I just like let me try it and see if that works I applied for it didn’t hear from them for last uh you know about 2 three months I was like okay fine you know I mean I’m.
Okay where I am so didn’t care at all so uh it’s been about 3 weeks since I started this job right so they called me went through four different interviews and sure enough they are like okay that’s it you are on board so I was like oh no I was not ready for the so that time I was uh working on one of the project with my previous job so I.
Had to rush finish that and let’s say Friday was my last day at the work and then Monday I started new job so didn’t have any downtime and that time kids were at home also for spring break so so many things were going on right so I started this job and like I say not sure how I feel about this because before I thought like I’m a home body I love to.
Stay home take care of the things and all that stuff now before it was different story because the kids were at home and I was running with them like you know taking them to different places taking them to school and preparing the lunch and all that kind of stuff right now we are empty nester we don’t have a kids I mean they both are in college.
Now and that’s what I thought I was like okay I love working from home that would be perfect that’s I like it’s a perfect scenario right and now I have worked from last three weeks I don’t know how I feel about this I was like did I make the right decision or should I go back to my previous job because the thing is like you know when you’re are working.
From home I mean I’m not getting that dis connection like here I’m at home I’m downstairs making shy do what I need to do come upstairs set front of computer we don’t have to we are on Zoom all the time but uh I don’t need to turn on my uh camera I’m just listening to people and I was like I miss interacting with.
People I miss seeing their body language I miss their expressions I miss all that stuff you know because when you’re on Zoom I mean if the camera is not on you can’t see them all you do is just hear them basically so I was like I don’t know how I feel about this um because like I say there is no any.
Disconnection right it’s like before it’s like if I if it’s even 8:05 I was like oh my gosh I’m late you know I need to rush so I’m hustling bustling the morning like you make a lunch and CH you know how morning scenario is that most of our house um so it’s not like that anymore it’s like I wake up all I need is maybe half an hour or so and I’m.
Upstairs because my office is upstairs in my bedroom um because we do have the Nook there so they did provide me the laptop computers and all that stuff and so my table chair everything is upstair so it’s like here I finished my breakfast I’m upstair I’m doing what I need to do s like I don’t I don’t get that disconnection you know because here.
You leave the home you go to work you leave the work and you come home so you have that thing but here it’s like I don’t have that and like I say you know the one main thing that I really miss is interacting with people right I mean I want to be out there and uh here I don’t get that and I’m kind of person that I don’t want to be in my paj.
Us all day long I want to get dressed up I want to look presentable even here right now I came to P Brothers I still dressed up you know it’s like I I that’s who I am I’ve been like that for all my life you know I want to look presentable so I was like I don’t know I mean I can and I’ve been doing this um like in the morning I do get dressed up and all that.
But I was like who care what kind of lipstick I have put it I can put like maybe the bright red color or the black color who’s going to see it right who’s going to see what kind of eyes Shadow I have or who’s going to see what I’m wearing kind of thing right so I miss all that stuff so I don’t know how I feel so far um if.
You guys if you are someone who’s working from home if you have any tip please let me know um because I was like if things doesn’t work out I’m going back to my previous job because they even told me too is like any point if things doesn’t work out if you want to come back the doors are always open so all I had to do is call them it’s like.
Hey I’m coming back you know that’s all I need to do um so I don’t know um I I miss talking to people um so I was like in that case you know I might have to just post more videos or be on the social media more so I can at least interact with you guys right so that is the one thing kids are doing really well they both are in.
College uh Raj has been extremely busy because he’s going to start taking or preparing for the MCAT uh end of this year or maybe beginning of next year so medical school to get into medical school it’s not easy at all so he’s working really hard right now um so if he doesn’t get time to come home we just go and see him in the.
Weekend um aian since is his first year so it’s not too crazy for him right now but Raj definitely um because he’s volunteering at the hospital so he goes over there as well as he’s working on research paper so life I’m telling you life is so busy busy busy you know all the time like there is always something.
Right so I definitely miss talking to you guys making videos and I was like doesn’t matter what now I think I’m going to make a point to post at least one video a week that way you know I feel connected with you guys right it’s like now seem like I don’t have any friend at all you know I.
I miss all that stuff so anyways um that’s that’s the major major thing is going on right now other than that uh things are really well so let’s go in the pat Brothers I don’t know if I’m going to record anything in there because you know how people the manager is over there he doesn’t like when I record.
Anything um but definitely I’ll share with you guys what I buy and even like I have so many videos that I have recorded like whenever I’m making new recipes or things like that I record but just didn’t get time to to edit and uploads and all that stuff but I promise I’ll be very good with this and I will try my best to post at least one video a week.
So it’s enough me talking let’s go inside I will definitely miss driving on this road so this is the road I used to take every single morning when I go to work it was my last day I recorded and that day as you can see we had flurries and rain but I missed my last job so badly anyways I came home so let me just go ahead and share with you what I.
Bought from Indian store so this one is basically Gujarati D Masala it’s pretty easy they just say that you just boil the doll and add this Masala in it I actually really like it the way I make my kushti doll but I was like let me just try it and see how it is so got that as well as few other Masala I needed and I bought this bread they make.
The fresh bread over there and I’m craving for p baji as well as the Masala P so badly so I bought that b um and I do have a recipe for this merch um but this time I was like let me just buy it so just a few snacks that I need to keep um I always keep it in a pantry so got that and uh if you are into spicy food I would say get this full especially this.
Brand I always find it at the B brothers and not anywhere else um so if you’re into spicy snacks get this one specifically this brand oh my gosh it is spicy and it is so good I mean there’s no way I can finish the entire bag at once but I was like once you start you don’t want to stop and also they do have the fresh kitchen there so I bought the.
V as well as the samosa sandwich um so got that and of course the kakra because sometime I just make like kakra pizza so those are the things I got it also bought the normal vegetables that I usually buy but this time I saw that now they do carry the cut vegetables like this so they had the Beet as well as the.
Cabbage cauliflower and Bindy I did not buy that but I was like you know I mean it saves so much time right when it’s already cut like that so maybe next time I’ll get that but just a usual vegetables that I normally buy it but the one thing that last time when I went to Indian store I bought glutenfree flour uh it’s a swad brand and I just.
Bought one uh bag and I was like let me just buy one start with it and see how it is now if you make the regular chapati out of this flower yes you can tell the difference but let’s say if you’re making patas like Alo parata cabbage uh cauliflower parata or just a normal parata you cannot tell the difference that it is.
Made out of the gluten-free flour it is so good so today I’m going to share the recipe of mtia by using this gluten-free flower guys it came out so good that again you cannot tell that it is made out of the gluten-free flour so here I do have the LOI I shred the LOI into that I’m going to add some green chilies as well as the garlic if you’re not F of.
Garlic no need to worry about it you don’t have to add that also now I’m going to add all the usual Masala like hey powder daa powder red chili powder of course we want a little bit of hang in it and salt to taste now salt at the first you don’t want to add too much because while mixing it the Loy will ooze out some water right so we don’t.
Want to add too in it so just add a little bit and just go ahead and mix everything as I say try this recipe and especially if you are into glutenfree this is so good for breakfast or the lunch and um this is the second time I made it um but very first time when I made it I didn’t know what to expect because of the flower but believe me.
Guys it came out so good and first I’m going to go ahead and add one cup of flour into this right because it’s all depend on the locky sometime it has lots of moisture sometime it doesn’t have much so you just need to play with the flour a little bit and also I’m adding some uh Basin into it now just go ahead and mix.
Everything while mixing it if you feel like it that it’s not binding properly then you can just go ahead and sprinkle some water in it you don’t want to add too much you can just go ahead and sprinkle some water into it it will take some time um because you want to just make sure that all the masalas and flowers and.
Everything get mixed properly right so at the end it’s going to look like this and I’m going to go ahead and add some oil into it because again I need to make sure that it doesn’t stick to my hand and I can um roll this properly so once you even add the water I mean oil in it then again just go ahead and just make sure everything is well mixed and then.
Have the steamer on the side and will go ahead and steam this for about 20 minutes also you do want to apply some oil on top of the plate so that way it doesn’t get stick and of course you will need it for your hand as well now when you make the cylinder shape like this you don’t want to make it too big because what will happen is if it’s too.
Big chances are that it might not get steamed properly from inside right so just make a medium size because once you steam that they’re going to get bigger anyways so as you can see here they are just a medium size they are not too big and after 20 25 minutes I’m going to take them out of course you want to check them first make sure that it got.
Steamed properly uh so after 25 minutes I took them out and of course you do want to let them cool down completely before you cut them um so you can s this two way as you can see I cut some of them and I still have some of them there so you can go ahead and cut them drizzle some oil on top of that and serve it with the garlic Chutney and of chai.
That’s it best combination if not you can um add the TKA and make them like crunchy and that way it also tastes really good so for that first of all here in a pan I’m going to take some oil yes for this you need a little bit extra oil also adding some Mustard Seed as well as the hang and then I’m adding some sesame seed.
That also going to give really good crunch to this and then I’ll just go ahead and add the MUA into this once you add it you do want to keep it there for a few minutes and then after that just toss them around and make sure that the it get crunchy from all side it will take just a few minutes but here it is it’s all done as you can see it is nice.
And crunchy serve it with the chai and enjoy this mua guys I hope you have enjoyed today’s video thank you so much for watching and I will be back soon with the other video take care guys bye
