Falooda

[thendino1]

I wish they kept the standards they brought with the Commonwaelth games in New Delhi. That was a pivotal moment where we could have turned the whole concept of hygiene in street food completely for the better. Ahh bloody ppl will never learn. We blame it on the politicos but it is the public's fault as well. YOu cannot blame babus only, when the ppl don;t voice their opinions loud enough. And they can't formulate opinions unless they are taught or at least exposed to such things

[PlumSkull]

actually he su quite clean ,i have seen & worse. lol

[PlumSkull]

market looks like the one they used in rab ne bana de jodi .lol

[Desi4evah]

Just in case people are wondering what the last spiral thingies were: They are called IMARTI. Imarti is the desi cousin of Jalebi. Jalebi came to India/Pak through the Arabs, known as Zalabiya, later modified to Jalebi.

Imarti is made of various daals, as opposed to Jalebi, which is made of maida. :)

[ktpunjab]

@Desi4evah Thanks for this good information. I am always interested in such information and I did not know about word Jalebi. But what is the spiral thingies you are talking about ? Is that the white one he added in bowl ? it is usually called "lachhe" in punjabi or there might be some other word for that. To clear pronunciation of IMARTI, if it is possible for you, please write that word in Hindi for me, (I mean Devnagri script)

[Desi4evah]

@ktpunjab No the one you're talking about is white noodle like thing. That is either made of maida or rice flour, which is used in Falooda.

I am talking about the imartis at the very end. As you end your video, you will see a big kadhai with jalebi-like swirls. It appears at 6:15 in the video.

इमरती or امرتی

It is also known as Jhaangri. But most popularly, Imarti. :)

[ktpunjab]

@Desi4evah That was the first shot of the next movie which is also on my account under name Jalebi. Those are actually jalebis. but I know what Amrati you are talking about. YOu are right about that but these were jalebis. It might be different in different parts of india / pakistan, but in pakistan amrati is usually heavier and thicker than jalebi and jalebi is usually served freshly made while amrati is like any other sweet, can be served in later days.

[Desi4evah]

@ktpunjab Where is the video? I want to see. Link please.

Bhai, I called it Imarti on the basis of its shape. Jalebi does not have that kind of shape. It's irregular. Imarti had one circle, surrounded by many circles. It's like a bangle surrounded by rings. So that was my judgment. :)

But if that person made jalebi in the form of Imarti, it could well be possible. Where is the rest of the video.. :)

[ktpunjab]

@Desi4evah your judgment is correct in a sense but it is again because jalebi can be slightly different in shape from area to area. Mostly in villages etc, they make it irregular or in a continous shape , which is bigger than amrati. But this jalebe was closer to amrati in shape. I m sending you link separately in message

[Desi4evah]

@ktpunjab Cool cool. Thanks, bro! And jumma mubarak. :)

[Desi4evah]

I am not sure, but I blv at 3:17 could well be kheer or firni. :)

[ktpunjab]

@Desi4evah Again you are right. That was Kheer at 3:17 That shop sells Falooda , Kulfi and Kheer

[Desi4evah]

India aur Pakistan kabhi nahin sudhreinge. Yeh mumalik ek hi hain, chaahe kuchh bhi ho jaye. Picchle saal main Mumbai gaya tha, aur kam o besh yehi gandagee ke manaazar nazar aaye the...

[ktpunjab]

@Desi4evah :-) you are so right. Hum aik hain. chahe gandagee ho ya kuch aur.

[Desi4evah]

@ktpunjab Bhai tell me one thing. Kya hamare mulkon ka kuchh nahin ho sakta? :( Kya developments aur ek achhi lifestyle kabhi nahin ban sakti. Bheinchod hamari sarkarein kar kya rahi hain yaar!! :(

[ktpunjab]

@Desi4evah Nahi bhai, kuch nahi ho sakta. hamari sarkarein wohi kar rahi hein .... loot maar.

[corderitodedios69]

it look really nice, BUT it must be very unhygienic also! LOL

[rahulk24]

its not sand its salt which turned black after burning...

[ktpunjab]

@californiadajatt it is called "RABDI". Actually it is white , as it is made of milk, you can consider this a type of Khoya, but color is added to make it orange or yellow and is slightly liquid as compared with Khoya.

[sarn14]

Thanks for uploading man,u have reminded me of Great Pakistan's Falooda,Delicious,I am from Multan,But Lahore Rocks in Falooda and other food as well as Multan,if somebody gives u stupid comments,don't care for it,It's a great Video.Thanks again

[celticraider1]

poor old horse looked like it could do with a good feed, the owner would do well to remember the teaching of Mohamed, nice falooda though yum, my favorite!!!

[jimmy786UK]

nice video bro. reminds me of pakistan...

[catman72]

looks great, thanks for posting this.

what exactly is he roasting in the hot sand?

some kind of nut?

[ktpunjab]

thanks for your positive comments. he is roasting dry salted black chickpeas in hot sand. most of street vendors selling such snacks are afghan refugees who came to inner cities of punjab in search of livelihood.

[NinezeroPlayer]

he's roasting chick peas here. Sand is used to roast peanuts and corn also.

[Desi4evah]

@catman72 It's black salt.

[fucmeintheinside]

at 1:00-3:10, I wouldn't eat that shit. They used their hand to put the noodles and ice to make the falooda. Personally I find that shit nastyand who knows where their hands could have been.

[celticraider1]

@fucmeintheinside how do you think vegetables and fruit are picked or bread kneaded etc etc as long as the guy has clean hands I have no problem with handled food, don't think for a minute in western restaurants food is made with glove or not handled

[TheTigerclaw2]

@fucmeintheinside  dude their hands

[MySialkot]

no one is prefect... only Allah is great... thats it!

and you............ just Get a life!

[fille786]

Great Video, I am glad you guys having fun. Long live Pakistan!

[talha6k]

life for PAKISTAN1

[maleekakhan]

very unhygienic!!!

the man is washing his hands in the same bucket he washed the bowls.

[ktpunjab]

LOL

[fille786]

Most people have 5 senses.

Some people have 6 senses.

But u r blessed with 7 senses.

An extra sense is NON SENSE.

[maleekakhan]

???!!!

[MySialkot]

oh God... he even cleaned the spoon with his pant, watch 3:00 dont know when they will learn the things... God bless our people!

[kenllll]

LMFAO u or sum1 else asked if he was cooking it in sand LOL over all gud video brings bak memories :)

[mymobl2]

try falooda with icecream and whip cream its AWSOME

[TheTigerclaw2]

@mymobl2 i know my mom makes it like that!!

[moewishaw]

Haha that is definetly NOT Falooda as I know it, and why is he using his hands for the crushed ice, that is just disgusting, im sure he could have easily used a spoon. you should have ice cream or kulfi with traditional falooda and it should be more red than orange. it looks horrible.

[TheTigerclaw2]

@moewishaw  that is falooda mad ass

[redfootwalking]

Oh, that looks so delicious, I love the falooda!!

[ktpunjab]

:-) It is really very delicious. and in summer it is very refreshing in the afternoon after a hot day.

[DadiJaan14]

this is NOT falooda...where is the tugmaari? Where is the kulfi?

 - Dadi Jaan

[ktpunjab]

Daadi Jaan, Kulfi was optional and had to pay extra rupees 35 for that, so I did not have it. And I don't know what tugmaari is. This is the way falooda is made in this part of Punjab. Please tell me what is tugmaari and what is Falooda where you live.

[DadiJaan14]

Ooo oki... I have always ahd it with kulfi and I had it in Karachi and in Hyderabad Pakistan also I had it in Bhopal India.

Tugmaari are those black things, that when soaked become a bit tadpole egg like. Let me see if I can get u a link! - Dadi Jaan

[DadiJaan14]

I also had it here once, in Manchester UK. It also had kulfi but hey wth! :P

I found out for u what tugmaarfi is called. Its called 'basil seeds' just google it and you will find it. I tried to post it here and they stopped my msg! :)

They give it more consistance! Its nice you should try it someday.

btw do u reside in sialkot? - Dadi Jaan

[ktpunjab]

thanks for this information dadi jaan. After your explanation, I understood what tugmaari is. It is called "TuKH Malangan" in punjabi and some falooda shops have it, some don't have it and its also choice of the customer to add it or not. No, I reside in Canada, but made that video when I visited Sialkot last time. By the way, taste of falooda here can never be like that of Lahore or Sialkot or anywhere in India / Pakistan.

[ktpunjab]

dadi jaan, just for your knowledge, the word "TuKH Malangan" is actually "TUKHM E MALANGAN". Word "TUKHM" means "seed" and "Malangan" is plural for "malang", a fakeer. So this is "seed of fakeers".

[jawad82]

cool man i use 2 go in dis shop and love dis falooda.. thanks that to put on dis vid ...... dis road called khateeqan walan bazar

[clicksweden]
