  1. Hi from India!
    I genuinely appreciate your videos, you always make the food look delectable.
    In India we have a similar dish known as "kofta" , it can be made from a variety of vegetables such as bottle gourd, bananas and lotus roots aswell. I would love to see you try it sometime.

    Peace✌

  2. One pan, one spoon, one cutting board, one knife, one bowl, measuring spoon, another spoon, one plate, one bench scraper, one tongs, another bowl.

    Dinner in 30 min turns into an hour of clean up.

  3. Is it only to show that you can cook it? Are the ingredients somewhere in the comments? Am I supposed to stop every second and make a wild guess what you are throwing in the bowl? Am I not supposed to know? I am confused
