00:00If you have just a few minutes to spare today,

00:14That's all you'll need to make this Cucumber Slush.

00:17It's not too sweet like what you'd get from a vending machine.

00:20And there's no artificial colour.

00:23The colour comes just from the colour of the cucumbers.

00:26You'll need about 300 gms of cucumber.

00:29Now in India, we find these pale skinned cucumbers very easily.

00:33So I'm going to leave the skin on.

00:34If you do end up finding a darker skinned cucumber,

00:38It's not really a problem.

00:39All you have to do is just peel it partially in alternate stripes.

00:44Otherwise, you will end up with a very bitter tasting cucumber slush.

00:48And that's not a good thing.

00:49This is just my kind of easy cooking slash drink making.

00:54Because you don't need to cut the cucumber perfectly.

00:59Just get the ends off and just roughly chop it.

01:03Because we're going to blend it in a food processor.

01:05I'm using a food processor,

01:07But if you have a really powerful blender,

01:10You can just use that.

01:11That's perfectly fine too.

01:14We need the juice of just one lemon.

01:18I'm going to keep that ready.

01:20I've got my food processor ready with the sharpest blade.

01:25The cucumbers are the first to go in to the food processor.

01:331 third cup or about 90 grams of Honey.

01:37I love using honey as a sweetener instead of sugar.

01:41I'm not sure if you can use maple syrup here,

01:43But if you want to experiment and try that,

01:45Tell me how it turns out.

01:48I'm just going to add about a quarter teaspoon of flaky sea salt.

01:52If you don't have sea salt, you can just go with regular table salt.

01:56I'm just being a little fancy today.

02:00The juice of one lemon, freshly squeezed.

02:05Half a cup of chilled water.

02:08I'm being a little particular about measurements,

02:10Because you don't want a slush that's either too icy or too thick.

02:13You want the consistency to be just right.

02:162 cups of Ice.

02:18This is the last thing to add.

02:20Otherwise, it'll just keep melting into everything else,

02:23That we've put in the food processor.

02:26Then it's just a quick blend.

02:36I'm blending this till the ice is completely crushed,

02:38And there are no bits of honey floating around in the food processor.

02:46Now, you can just give it a quick taste.

02:49Just to see if you want to add any more lemon juice.

02:55I think it's turned out really well.

02:56I'm pouring the cucumber slush into this jug,

02:59And there's just one little thing left to do.

03:02A frothy texture.

03:04I'm going to stir in some Mint leaves.

03:07This is the only thing in the recipe that I don't have precise measurements for.

03:10Just go for a few leaves, not too much.

03:13And just stir it in.

03:19A little bit more.

03:37This cucumber slush is the perfect drink for a hot summer day.

03:41And the best thing is that you can make it,

03:43And store it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.

03:46You can serve it as it is, if you're giving it to children.

03:49But if you have a party, you can add some Gin, Vodka,

03:53Or even some White Rum to it.

03:56Cheers!

04:09Today, I'm going to make something that's a bit of a summer cooler.

04:12As the summers are coming into India right now,

04:15It's getting very, very hot.

04:17So rather than drinking just, you know, a glass of fizzy pop,

04:20Or some plain juice,

04:23I'm going to make something that's called,

04:24Aam Jal Jeera.

04:26Aam is Mango, Jal means water,

04:29And Jeera, as most of you might know by now, is Cumin.

04:32Now, for this recipe, I'm using Raw Mangoes.

04:36Keep a pressure cooker handy, because you're going to need it.

04:39First of all, let me peel my other Mango.

04:41Keep it tight to the skin as you can.

04:44And this one is slightly soft,

04:47Which is just what I want.

04:51Obviously, discard the little baby seed.

04:55Pop that in there.

04:58Just rough chop.

04:59Right, pop those in.

05:04Into this, I'm going to add a bit of water, about a cup.

05:08Put my lid on.

05:09And I'm going to pop it,

05:12Onto this side.

05:13And that's only going to need one whistle.

05:16So while my Mangoes are cooking away,

05:18I'm going to heat up a clean pan,

05:20And dry roast some Cumin Seeds.

05:22Hob on.

05:23Let that get hot.

05:25About a teaspoon of Cumin Seeds.

05:28Watch them, so they don't burn.

05:31So they should go a nice,

05:33Brown colour.

05:35A slightly brownish colour.

05:37A brown colour.

05:39A slightly darker colour than they normally are.

05:42And you can smell,

05:44The lovely earthy fragrance of the Cumin.

05:48This should take about,

05:50Two minutes.

05:51So my Cumin Seeds have roasted nicely.

05:54And I'm going to pop them into my Water and Pestle.

05:57Give them a little pounding.

06:01Just needs to be roughly pound.

06:08So my Cumin is nicely pounded.

06:10So let me check my Mangoes.

06:15Lovely!

06:16That's exactly what you want.

06:18If you don't have a pressure cooker,

06:21Which I'd be very disappointed if you haven't invested in one already.

06:25You can always cook the Mangoes in a pan.

06:28Cook them until they're really soft.

06:30So I'm going to pour the Mango with the water,

06:33Because that's got flavour.

06:35Straight into my jug.

06:36And be careful as it's hot.

06:39Pop it all in.

06:42Put a few cubes of Ice in there.

06:46My lovely fragrant Cumin.

06:49Just a little.

06:51Maybe like half a teaspoon or so.

06:53Some Sugar.

06:54Add Sugar according to your own personal taste.

06:57I'm going to put in about a teaspoon.

06:59Now here's a very interesting ingredient.

07:01This is called Black Salt.

07:03It's quite strong in flavour and smell.

07:07But added to anything savoury, it just transforms the dish.

07:11So I'm going to add about half a teaspoon.

07:15And some Mint Leaves.

07:17Pop those in.

07:19Now a little bit more water.

07:21Maybe just half.

07:26Give it a little stir.

07:30And now we just blitz.

07:34There you have it.

07:36Let's give it a quick taste.

07:39Check for seasoning.

07:46It's tart, slightly sweet and that flavour of that Black Salt is mmm delicious.

07:53That's a great drink.

07:56Lovely.

07:58Add a bit of Ice to that.

08:00And that lovely roasted Cumin.

08:03A little sprig of Mint.

08:17I'm going to make a Minty Cold Coffee.

08:19So I have this tall glass of Minty Cold Coffee for me.

08:23Now let's go make a Minty Cold Coffee.

08:25So I'm going to make a Minty Cold Coffee.

08:27So I have this tall glass of Minty Cold Coffee for me.

08:30And I'm going to make one for you.

08:32Firstly, take 250 ml of water in a saucepan.

08:37In it, we'll put a handful of Mint Leaves.

08:43We're doing this so that we get a nice minty flavour.

08:50Now while our Mint Water is boiling, let's make the Cold Coffee mixture.

08:55I've taken a big tall glass.

08:57I'll be adding 50 ml of Cold Water in it.

09:03And around 4 tsp of Instant Coffee Powder.

09:12Just give it a stir.

09:18Our Cold Coffee mixture is ready, let's check on the Mint Water.

09:22What a lovely aroma!

09:23So the water is perfectly boiled and ready to be poured into our glass.

09:27Let's strain it into the glass.

09:33Next, we'll add in Sugar.

09:35I've taken 4 tbsp of Sugar.

09:37But depending on your taste, you can either reduce it or increase it.

09:43Give it a quick stir.

09:45Give it a quick stir.

09:53Once the Sugar is dissolved, we'll add in Milk.

09:56I've taken 100 ml of Milk which has been boiled and then cooled down to room temperature.

10:07Give it a quick stir.

10:08Now this will go into the refrigerator for chilling.

10:23Our Minty Cold Coffee is nice and chilled.

10:25Let's add in some Ice Cubes in it and garnish with Mint Leaves.

10:38Our Minty Cold Coffee is ready to drink.

10:40Do try this twist in your normal Cold Coffee.

10:54Today, I'm going to make something traditionally Punjabi.

10:57Associated with all us Punjabis and Sardars around the world.

11:00So I'm going to make a Punjabi Dessert.

11:02So I'm going to make a Punjabi Dessert.

11:04Let me show you how.

11:05Super quick, super refreshing.

11:07Very easy.

11:08Right, here I have some Yogurt.

11:10Plain Yogurt.

11:11Pop that into your blender.

11:14Some Sugar.

11:18A pinch of Salt.

11:20Maybe a pinch more.

11:21And some Ice.

11:23A little bit of Ice.

11:24Just to keep it cool.

11:26And a little bit of Butter.

11:28And a pinch of Salt.

11:30And a pinch of Butter.

11:32And a little bit of Water.

11:34But you can add a little bit more later.

11:37Give it a blitz.

11:48Now, I'll just taste to make sure it's perfectly fine.

11:56Reminds me of the good old Punjab.

11:58The beautiful Green Kith.

12:00Me running through with my Dupatta.

12:03That's a story for another day.

12:05Let's pour this and enjoy.

12:07Take my traditional little glass.

12:10Pour it from a height.

12:14That's how you pour it.

12:16That's how we roll in the Punjab.

12:19Now, what I will do.

12:21This is an optional extra.

12:23Just a little sprinkling of Cardamom Powder.

12:26Just to give it a little flavour.

12:28And there you have it.

12:29This is basic.

12:31And there you have it.

12:32Traditional Lassi as they drink it in the Punjab.

12:35This is what I say.

12:37Cheers.

12:47So today, I'm going to make a delicious refreshing Kesar Mango Lassi.

12:53Now, Kesar is Saffron.

12:54For those of you who don't know.

12:56Peel my Mangoes.

13:00So this is a really messy job.

13:02And my Mango cutting skills aren't great.

13:05I'm going to do my best.

13:07Chop this bad boy in here.

13:10So, I pop my Mangoes in my blender.

13:13You can use any Mangoes you can get hold of.

13:15The most important thing is they got to be juicy and ripe.

13:19Now, for my Yoghurt.

13:21Plain Yoghurt.

13:23Pour that in.

13:24And on my face.

13:27I'm going to add some Sugar.

13:28Not a lot because my Mangoes are very sweet.

13:31Just a bit.

13:32I'll always add more later.

13:34So here I've got some Saffron Strands.

13:36Which I've been soaking in hot water for about 5 minutes.

13:39Just so they can release their lovely golden colour.

13:42Pour that in.

13:43This will give a nice little flavour.

13:45And a nice little colour.

13:47Now, I'm going to add some Sugar.

13:49Not a lot because my Mangoes are very sweet.

13:52Just a bit.

13:53And a nice little colour.

13:54And a pinch of Cardamom Powder.

13:57And this really brings out the flavour of the Mango.

14:01And the Saffron.

14:02I'm going to add some.

14:04Have it as thin or as thick as you like.

14:06I'm going to add just about that much for now.

14:09And then, lid on.

14:18Lovely Mango Luffy.

14:20I'm going to show you the consistency.

14:22There, look at that lovely yellow sunshine from the Mango.

14:28I'm going to sprinkle that with just a little bit more of my Cardamom Powder.

14:33And just a couple of Saffron Strands.

14:35Just to remind you that there is some Saffron in there.

14:37So there you go guys, my delicious Queso Mango Luffy.

14:41The season of Mangoes is here at the moment.

14:43So do try it wherever you are.

14:45But make sure they are juicy and ripe.

14:48Enjoy.

14:52Bye for now.
