    In general, the way a fine chopped / grated ginger and garlic behave are a bit different from how the paste behaves (the paste does a weird goopy thing if blended too fine) Also as ginger and garlic get grated separately they can be used separately too (atleast in my household, most dishes either have a garlic predominant or a ginger predominant requirement so things can be fine tuned instead of being forced to use both everywhere)

    Here's an idea for the final leftovers: - make rice porridge using the rice and the chicken stock, similar to a congee - fry up the falafel into small balls and top the porridge - fry up the potato in small pieces to make them extra crispy - if there are any leftover spices, mix them with hot oil to make a spicy oil drizzle Boom, one nice, warm bowl of rice porridge with crispy toppings, good breakfast.

    I think you can't go wrong with yogurt as an ingredient in your Indian inspired arsenal instead of coconut milk especially if it's cheaper. A can of coconut milk is around $2.29 ( 17c an ounce) while a quart of yogurt is $2.99 ( 9c an ounce) for the store brand of each. You can make a type of flatbread from the chickpeas side Mary par to Italian socca. I find that Indian dishes give you a lot of bank for your grocery budget.

    As an amateur Indian chef myself (and an actual Indian, should have led with that lol), very good stuff! As a fun fact - the word for the pancake he made with the Dosa batter , Uthappam - can be split into Uth ("oooth", like oooh+th) which means "Pour" and appam ("up-pum, pum rhymes with dum) which can be thought of as pancake itself. So the word can be pronounced as Ooth-up-pum .

I've got to say that I really like your idea for getting a broth from onion scraps and leftovers from chicken thighs. The little lady craves chicken thighs like a drug. Being able to make a nice cooking base from the stuff we won't eat anyway is a great option, and I know what the crockpot will be doing this weekend. Absolutely great video.

I love this concept - and I could have gone out and ordered take out but after watching this video I decided to make something with what i had. So - I made some jasmine rice, seasoned it with a bit of mirin I had in the fridge and topped it with two over-easy eggs and a shake of sesame oil and it was amazing.

    For the leftovers, you can try something creative like a kofta inspired curry with rice. You can cook down the potatoes in the stock with some masala and ginger-garlic paste and mash them up to thicken and use the Falafel as koftas in it in the end and garnish with coriander (if you have any still left). Serve with rice.

I've used diced canned tomatoes at times over pureed tomatoes, and I know Trader Joe's here sells frozen ginger cubes which can give the ginger flavor without significantly compromising texture. Chopped garlic can be found in a whole lotta ways as well in the US.

It is so refreshing & creamy and it goes well with dishes like Tandoori, Rolls, etc. You can also try it without curd/coconut oil - for side with Dosa. This is a weekly rotation in most south-indian households. The chickpea Falafel is so new to me, I think it would make a great filling for Kati Roll - Parotta/Roti for base and I'd add fillings like this Chickpea Falafel, sliced onions, lettuce, preferred veggies, chutney. Roll it up & enjoy 😋. It would taste yummm, right? 🤤 I'm so enjoying this series! I would love to see more cuisines.

    ​@@diegovelazquez9997 just covid alone cranked up the prices on a lot of foods and while supply chain shortages made it make sense, now it is simply price gouging on a lot of materials. eggs are something that's gone way up for us too. i'm not sure the reasoning on that. but grains and such they expected to go up because of the war. i didn't know ukraine supplied so much of this around the world. the situation is shitty.... but hang in there...... it feels like in the last 2 days something is shifting. we may see an end to this sooner rather than later. and infrastructure is the first focus of repair efforts. so the internet/electric issues will be one less thing to be in the way. (i'm sorry the companies you worked for couldn't take that in stride. to be honest.... many of these places are ridiculous like that and it's not just you. idk if that makes you feel better but they will have these solid unmovable rules with no care for context or situations. maybe keep trying tho, not all companies are like that. some of the startups are more understanding and treat people like people) definitely start a channel!! cooking, regional information (every day living), just walking around town... there is so much you could do that people authentically would like to see. the sooner you start, the sooner you can see what you like to do, what works, etc. i think mentally this could be a good support for you. it's creative and helps you reach out, connect, and also give a sense of purpose. cooking is great. fantastic. but also creation of content can give a sense of... self i guess. catharsis? even if you just share your thoughts and what you are going through. there's a lot of fake bullshit and dumb influencer crap and clout chasing. BUT people value authentic stuff. they value people's actual personalities, a sense of connection. i think you can do this. just start small, something easy, 5mins. posting becomes easier after a few times, as you get the hang of YT, edits, and such. and if you post something, come back here and let me know and i'll watch : ) ps: a vid of the potlucks or cookouts would be really wholesome. or preparing food for people at parties or catering. ((also one of my fav channels right now is TMPM.... the meal prep manual. dude is FUNNY. definitely need some humor in life. good recipes too. the one for overnight oats had me sick with laugher. the best.)

    Great video as usual. Two ingredients added to your list would have made a big difference. Yoghurt and Curry powder. You can use curry powder to create the base and Garam masala as a topping spice. Yoghurt can act as a creaming agent instead of coconut milk. Both ingredients are not expensive at all

    @@vbella39 I use the Great Value brand of cauliflower rice for lots of rice replacements. It's frozen, and if you squeeze out as much moisture as you can, you can even press it like sticky rice and make sushi, which I do occasionally. The flavor is light, so it's not an overpowering cauliflower flavor.

Stuffed parathas( fried Flatbread that you can stuff with vegetables like potatoes, cauliflower, radish paneer) You can have them with just curd, pickle or a green chutney 2. Besan cheela( it's like a vegan high protein omelette) 3. Poha

    I love seeing these types of videos with realistic budgets, such as yours. It really helps those of us who love to diversify but with financial restrictions. Would love to see you get crafty with some Greek cuisine, and possibly Caribbean or Hawaiian. Also, maybe something New Orleans/Creole style? In our house, we regularly eat all sorts of cultural foods from around the world, but we also prepare 99.9% of our meals so we're always looking to mix new stuff up with reasonable components. Your videos are always a great inspiration. Thanks!
