Full transcript

1. 0:12For us Indians, food or meals are not
2. 0:16just a way to fill our stomachs. It is
3. 0:20linked to honor, respect, emotions,
4. 0:23belonging, and faith. And you must have
5. 0:28heard some people say that we have a '
6. 0:29roti-beti'(bread and daughter)
7. 0:31relationship with a certain family.
8. 0:34Meaning, they compare the daughter, a
9. 0:36piece of one's heart, with food. What a
10. 0:39beautiful thought that is. So today,
11. 0:42why shouldn't we invite a daughter to '
12. 0:45Swad aur Sangeet'? So, please welcome.
13. 0:48In our tradition of 'Swad aur Sangeet',
14. 0:51please welcome Jabalpur's daughter,
15. 0:54Khandwa's darling, the daughter not
16. 0:57just of Madhya Pradesh but of all of
17. 1:00India, the pride, Prajakta Shukre,
18. 1:03along with her father, Mr. Rajendra
19. 1:06Shukre, and her mother, Renu Shukre.
20. 1:12Yes, the very same daughter, Prajakta,
21. 1:15whom you saw in the most famous season
22. 1:17of Indian Idol, Season One. There, she
23. 1:21hoisted the flag of her popularity. She
24. 1:23worked in 'Jo Jeeta Wohi Superstar' and
25. 1:25also appeared in Marathi Bigg Boss
26. 1:28Season Six, where she became everyone's
27. 1:30favorite.
28. 1:31>> Prajakta.
29. 1:32>> Yes.
30. 1:33>> Welcome to our tradition of 'Swad aur
31. 1:35Sangeet'.
32. 1:36>> Thank you so much.
33. 1:37>> Child, tell me, you appeared in Indian
34. 1:40Idol Season One, which was a very
35. 1:43successful program. After that, you
36. 1:46appeared in many more reality shows.
37. 1:49You traveled the journey from a little
38. 1:51girl to becoming a music star. Earlier,
39. 1:54you were called the daughter of
40. 1:56Jabalpur. Then you were called a '
41. 1:58Mumbai girl'. You have been in Mumbai
42. 2:00for so many years. So, you must miss
43. 2:03Khandwa, Jabalpur, and Madhya Pradesh.
44. 2:06>> Do you miss them? Absolutely.
45. 2:07>> Tell us something.
46. 2:09>> So, in Khandwa, I was very small. I was
47. 2:12born there, and I still remember that
48. 2:14house in Khandwa very well. It was our
49. 2:16very beautiful and lovely home. It had
50. 2:18a simple courtyard. There were many
51. 2:20trees in it that were my friends.
52. 2:22>> So, I really love that house. And in
53. 2:26Jabalpur, I was at an age where I could
54. 2:28understand things. I was growing up a
55. 2:31bit. I mean, I was in Jabalpur from
56. 2:32sixth to twelfth grade. So, there is a
57. 2:34different connection with Jabalpur.
58. 2:35Definitely. Renu ji, you are a singer
59. 2:39yourself. You are a music teacher. You
60. 2:42have seen Prajakta's musical journey
61. 2:44from the very beginning. So, what has
62. 2:48your experience been? What kind of
63. 2:50thoughts did you have? Tell us
64. 2:52something.
65. 2:53>> About Prajakta, I will tell you this.
66. 2:55When she was very small,
67. 2:56>> I think she must have been three years
68. 2:58old.
69. 2:59>> I used to make rotis and would just
70. 3:01sing a 'taan'. Any 'taan' from any raga
71. 3:03or anything, because I had done my MA
72. 3:06and girls used to come to me to learn.
73. 3:09>> So, she would hear that 'taan' and
74. 3:11immediately sing it back in 'aakaar'.
75. 3:14>> That's when I felt that such a little
76. 3:16girl could sing taans in Aakar, it
77. 3:18meant there was something unique about
78. 3:20her. Yes, I had taught her the Bhup
79. 3:23raga, and she would sing the entire
80. 3:25Bhupali raga so well.
81. 3:27>> Taans and Chhota Khayal at such a young
82. 3:29age, and like the 11th or 12 th-grade
83. 3:31girls who came to learn from me, I used
84. 3:34to teach them ragas like Todi, she
85. 3:36would sing the Chhota Khayal of that
86. 3:38too just like that. So they used to
87. 3:40wonder how such a young girl, even with
88. 3:42a raga like Todi, which they didn't
89. 3:43understand, how could she sing it?
90. 3:45Because it's difficult, the raga is
91. 3:47hard, we don't understand it, so how
92. 3:49does she catch it so well!
93. 3:51>> Thank you. Prajakta came on reality
94. 3:53shows, Indian Idol was a very popular
95. 3:56program. You are proud parents; you
96. 3:59brought your little daughter there, so
97. 4:02what have your experiences been as
98. 4:05parents in this journey from then until
99. 4:08today? Tell us something.
100. 4:10>> I took her myself to Mumbai for the
101. 4:12Indian Idol audition.
102. 4:14>> The first audition.
103. 4:16>> What they call the first audition, and
104. 4:18there for the first time I saw such a
105. 4:21grand show and such long lines, there
106. 4:23were at least 10,000 people.
107. 4:26>> Not less than that. For the rest of the
108. 4:28time in her musical journey, her mother
109. 4:30has been with her.
110. 4:32>> So her mother has supported her more
111. 4:35than I have.
112. 4:36>> My initial job was already done.
113. 4:41>> Look, Prajakta has come to 'Swad aur
114. 4:43Sangeet' today, and since she is from
115. 4:45Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh, we will first
116. 4:48listen to a wonderful Nimadi song from
117. 4:50her. After that, keep watching to see
118. 4:53what else is in this treasure chest.
119. 4:56Let's begin.
120. 4:58>> So Prajakta, all four of us sitting
121. 4:59here are from Madhya Pradesh, and the
122. 5:01people before this were all also from
123. 5:03Madhya Pradesh. So let's have some
124. 5:05music from Madhya Pradesh itself. That
125. 5:06is our request to you.
126. 5:07>> That is absolutely the right thing to
127. 5:09do. And today, after many years, I
128. 5:12remembered that folk song which I
129. 5:14learned first in my life. I learned it
130. 5:16from Mommy. I used to sing it in school
131. 5:18in Dhar, and all my teachers and my
132. 5:20principal sir in Dhar liked it very
133. 5:22much, and wherever I was, they would
134. 5:24catch me and say, "Child, sing those
135. 5:26two lines," the one like that.
136. 5:28>> Wow, that's great.
137. 5:29>> So let's sing that today. Aaloo ki mana
138. 5:40, aaloo ki mana sabzi banayi. Hunu no
139. 5:44kar ka, aaloo ki mana sabzi banayi. Hu
140. 5:49no no kar ka, hunu no kar ka, haan hu

149. 6:35sleep, taking in the cool air. My
150. 6:38father-in-law went to sleep, taking in
151. 6:40the cool air. My mother-in-law is
152. 6:44looking, with a side-eye. My
153. 6:47mother-in-law is looking, side-eyeing,
154. 6:50because of the potatoes.
155. 6:53>> Because of the potatoes, because of the
156. 6:57potatoes, she made the dish, hu nu kar,
157. 7:00she made the potato dish.
158. 7:06>> It’s the same jab for the
159. 7:08brother-in-law too.
160. 7:08>> Yes.
161. 7:09>> Everyone in this house is just sleeping
162. 7:11.
163. 7:12>> After eating a bellyful of potato curry
164. 7:13, this is what happens, right?
165. 7:15>> A fair breaks out. A fair breaks out.
166. 7:19>> So next up is, my brother-in-law went
167. 7:22to sleep, taking in the cool air. My
168. 7:26brother-in-law went to sleep, taking in
169. 7:28the cool air, right? My sister-in-law
170. 7:31is looking, side-eyeing. My
171. 7:34sister-in-law is looking, with a
172. 7:37side-eye, right? Because of the
173. 7:40potatoes, because of the potatoes, she
174. 7:43made the potato dish, hu nu no kar.
175. 7:46What? She made the potato dish, hu nu
176. 7:50no kar, right? Hu nu no kar, right? Hu
177. 7:54no what? Ho what? Because of the
178. 8:02potatoes, because of the, she made the
179. 8:06potato dish, hu nu no kar. She made the
180. 8:10potato dish, hu nu no kar. She made the
181. 8:15potato dish, hu nu no kar.
182. 8:21>> What?
183. 8:22>> Our first special today is Chane ki
184. 8:25Bhaji (gram greens). It is eaten all
185. 8:29over India, but people in the Malwa,
186. 8:31Nimar, and Bundelkhand regions of
187. 8:33Madhya Pradesh enjoy it greatly under
188. 8:35different names. It is an immunity
189. 8:38booster, and the taste is wonderful.
190. 8:42Although gram is harvested in the
191. 8:44winter, in October-November, and it is
192. 8:46eaten fresh then, but to enjoy it
193. 8:48year-round, people dry and store it to
194. 8:51eat all year long. Now look, when Dev
195. 8:56Uthani Gyaras arrives, I have seen
196. 9:00ladies in our Madhya Pradesh take
197. 9:03gooseberries, berries, and these greens
198. 9:06, saying, "Bor, bhaji, amla, and arise,
199. 9:10O dark-complexioned God." These are
200. 9:14childhood memories. Let's make Chane ki
201. 9:18Bhaji. See, this is the dried Chane ki
202. 9:21Bhaji; there might be some stems in it,
203. 9:24so pick them out and clean them. The
204. 9:27season for these greens is usually
205. 9:30during the gram harvest, meaning
206. 9:32October-November, but if one wants to
207. 9:35enjoy it year-round, people dry and
208. 9:37store it. This is the dried Chane ki
209. 9:40Bhaji, an immunity booster, wonderful
210. 9:42to eat. This is Chane ki Bhaji. To make
211. 9:46chana greens with toor dal, see, I have
212. 9:49taken toor dal and boiled it to about
213. 9:5280%, I didn't use a pressure cooker.
214. 9:55And yes, I added two cloves of peeled
215. 9:58garlic to it. Because some people
216. 10:01believe that eating toor dal can cause
217. 10:03gas and acidity. To fix that, see,
218. 10:06these are boiled berries I kept ready.
219. 10:11We add these to the chana greens. It
220. 10:14adds a wonderful flavor. Now we mix
221. 10:18these chana greens into the toor dal.
222. 10:26And add these berries to the chana
223. 10:28greens as well. It already looks so
224. 10:32beautiful. Look. Now I am preparing to
225. 10:45temper it, which means preparing to fry
226. 10:48it. I have taken oil in a pan. Use
227. 10:52whatever oil you prefer. Now add
228. 10:57mustard seeds to it. Then add cumin
229. 11:04seeds. Let both of them sizzle well.
230. 11:09Then add chopped garlic. Now when the
231. 11:24garlic turns slightly golden, add
232. 11:28onions to it. Now fry the onions well.
233. 11:48Chopped green chilies, ginger paste.
234. 11:57Now our onions have turned golden in
235. 12:00color. Now we have added whole
236. 12:02coriander seeds after crushing them
237. 12:03slightly by hand. Coriander has a very
238. 12:06special importance here. Add ground red
239. 12:18chili powder. Add salt according to
240. 12:29your taste. And now add the greens to
241. 12:40this. Now we will add a tempering of
242. 13:10asafoetida, mustard seeds, and red
243. 13:13chili. And along with this, another
244. 13:29special thing is eaten which we call '
245. 13:31baghar'. I told you in the first
246. 13:33episode that this is Madhya Pradesh's
247. 13:35gunpowder. If you want to learn 'baghar
248. 13:37', then watch the first episode about
249. 13:40Amari greens, you will find the recipe
250. 13:42there. Now, since Prajakta is from
251. 13:45Madhya Pradesh, we are making chana
252. 13:48greens. She is a Mumbai girl, meaning
253. 13:51she lives in Maharashtra. We also live
254. 13:53in Maharashtra. So we will also make a
255. 13:55Maharashtrian dish. A friend of mine
256. 13:58taught me 'Kakdi Cha Korla'. A
257. 14:01wonderful dish is made from cucumber.
258. 14:03Today I will try that. It will be fun.
259. 14:06This 'Kakdi Cha Korla' recipe is
260. 14:08actually very simple. But I have also
261. 14:11added some of my own experiments to it.
262. 14:13Heat oil in a pot. Add mustard seeds
263. 14:18and cumin seeds to it and let them
264. 14:22splutter. Add this bit of ground
265. 14:31coriander, Onion, Garlic, these green
266. 14:41chilies. Now look, these onions are
267. 14:44turning slightly golden. Add some
268. 14:47ground ginger to it. And I have also
269. 14:52added curry leaves. Now look, I have
270. 15:00chopped tomatoes ready. Add these
271. 15:03tomatoes. We will cook it well. Cook
272. 15:16the tomatoes until they start to
273. 15:18release their water. Now, add salt to
274. 15:21it according to your taste. Now look, I
275. 15:28had already grated the cucumber to make
276. 15:33Kakdi Cha Korla. Look at this. So, the
277. 15:38gram flour (besan) cooks in this, with
278. 15:40the cucumber's water and its aroma. So,
279. 15:44we will add this cucumber to it. Look
280. 15:48at this. It releases a lot of water now
281. 15:51. What have we done? See, I have
282. 15:54already dry-roasted the gram flour
283. 15:57beforehand. Add this to it. And some
284. 16:01people add raw gram flour, because it
285. 16:04cooks in the cucumber's water itself.
286. 16:11Add a little bit of turmeric too. Now
287. 16:14you have to keep stirring it constantly
288. 16:15. Because the cucumber will release a
289. 16:18lot of water, and with its aroma, the
290. 16:20gram flour will cook, sir. See what a
291. 16:23great flavor it gets. Just look. Keep
292. 16:28stirring it constantly, otherwise, it
293. 16:30will get lumpy. Now our Kakdi Cha Korla
294. 16:37is almost ready. Squeeze a little lemon
295. 16:40into it. There you go. Add a teaspoon
296. 16:44of sugar over the top like this. It
297. 16:47enhances the taste. Add chopped
298. 16:51coriander. Look how beautiful it looks.
299. 16:59I forgot to mention this earlier. I
300. 17:01have also added a little bit of
301. 17:02asafoetida (hing) to it. Asafoetida
302. 17:04enhances the flavor and it is eaten
303. 17:06with Jowar roti. So, you have prepared
304. 17:08the Jowar roti. This all looks so
305. 17:23delicious, doesn't it?
306. 17:25>> It makes you want to dig right in.
307. 17:27>> So that was about taste, now let's talk
308. 17:29about music. Prajakta is from MP, grew
309. 17:33up in Khandwa and Jabalpur, she is a
310. 17:35Maharashtrian girl, and Mumbai is our
311. 17:38field of work. So we will talk about
312. 17:41this too, sing a song, let's see what
313. 17:44happens. So let's begin.
314. 17:46>> So Prajakta, by birth you are a
315. 17:48daughter of Mother Narmada, and by work
316. 17:51, you are a Mumbai girl.
317. 17:53>> Yes, absolutely, my mother tongue is
318. 17:55Marathi.
319. 17:55>> So, let's have something in Marathi too
320. 17:58.
321. 17:59>> And since my mother tongue is Marathi,
322. 18:02my mother has composed the song. Its
323. 18:06title is 'Raat Rani'.
324. 18:08>> And it's written by my uncle (Masa ji),
325. 18:10his name is Vijay Kelkar, and my
326. 18:12mother's name is Renu Shukre.
327. 18:14>> So, let's sing this.
328. 18:15>> And we have heard this song from you
329. 18:17before, it's a beautiful song, and it
330. 18:18is available on every platform, please
331. 18:20go and stream it too.
