00:00So, we will be making Degi Bure, which is very famous during Ramadan. It's one of the
00:11must-haves when we are breaking our fasts. This is the batter that we make from black
00:17gram lentils. These are basically soaked overnight, so pretty much like 24 hours, and then we
00:24grind them with a little bit of water, and this is how it turns to be. So this shouldn't
00:29be very diluted, rather a little thick and soft. So we will be starting with having these
00:36made into dumplings and deep fried in oil here. You need to do this at very moderate
00:43temperatures. So now we are going to basically drain out the oil, and we are going to put
00:49it into this bowl, which already has water and a little bit of salt mixed. And we let
00:56them soak for a while, so they become more soft. So we leave them for like 5-7 minutes.
01:02We are actually going to mix the curd, because these will fall into the curd. This is the
01:07curd, we have mixed like 2 cups of the curd, so mixed it, and then we are supposed to start
01:15with these spices. Black pepper powder first, then we take chili powder, then we take cumin
01:22powder, again another spoon of it, and this is chaat masala, so we take a spoon of this
01:30as well. And we take a little bit of salt to taste, and we take at least 2 tablespoons
01:40of sugar. That is 1 and 2, and we mix this. Now, what we have to do is basically transfer
02:00these dumplings to the yogurt. We take them, squeeze the water out, and then you put them
02:10here, and we just flip it over. You can add a little bit of chili powder, and we add a
02:16little bit of chaat masala, then a little bit of cumin powder, and then we have mint
02:22leaves here, see I am putting it on the dumplings actually. So when you pick it up, you get
02:27actually the spice on the top of the dumplings. So that's tahi vare. It is ready to be served.
02:45This food is called kuku sevzamini. Sevzamini in English means potato, so it's kuku potato.
02:52It's a must for iftar because it's easy to cook, and it's very light to eat for iftar
02:59because when you're fasting during that long time after, you have to eat something light
03:06and easy to cook. In our culture in Iran, normally we don't eat a lot in breaking the
03:14fast. In iftar, we don't eat a lot. I'm going to cook the way that we boil the potato first
03:21and we chop it into small pieces and add it to the egg and we fry it.
03:29You need to add salt and pepper. If you like spicy, you can add red pepper.
03:40This food, I've been eating it when I was maybe 3 years old, and I've enjoyed it in
03:48my whole life. I've learned this food from my grandmother. She taught me when I was maybe
03:5513.
