Please keep on making videos like this and spread the LOVE AND PEACE ON EARTH

I have a nice comment , i believe lotus roots in slice form are available in canned form ,so you do not have to use pressure cooker at all. Also would like to know the song's lyrics or words are in which language?

Thanks for posting the video.

ps.offering to god any meal and using that as a god given prasad or gift is a REAL HINDU RITUAL.ONE DOES NOT LAUGH OR JOKE ABOUT IY.

I really do not understand why ignorant or nasty people make comment on a nice cooking video like this.As they say in BIBLE. "FATHER forgive them, they do not know THEMSELVES...

OR they do not know COOKING OR are just bent upon making illogical comments only.
