Hi, Namaste everyone, my name is Sanjana and this is my younger sister
Hi, my name is Sahithi, and this is my elder sister
we're two sisters and we live in America
so today is the most important day of
the year for me it's my birthday
So this vlog is from yesterday to today morning
or I mean until tonight
and we just ate the cake and both of us are eating it sitting outside
yeah so you also should, like us
get something to eat and get ready to
watch this vlog
okay so this is one day before my
birthday and we came to
to select cakes
and so we're just looking at all the
cakes and deciding which one we like
we are deciding between these two cakes but we will probably go with this one because
its vegan and on Tuesdays, we do not eat eggs
alright so today is Sanjana's birthday
and we're making breakfast brunch right
now and Sanjana
really likes it so that's what we're doing
- yeah so
um this video is the starting video for our new series
we're gonna do like a continental
cooking series
so we are going to make dishes from different states and different countries
so what that means basically
we are going to make foods from different states in India and different countries as well
That is going to come in our future videos it's going to be a series of videos
and we will show the state or countries specialty dishes
so she really likes american breakfast
so we are going to start with american breakfast because
it's her birthday so that's why we're
doing that and in our next video
um do you want to say what we're going
to do
Yeah so, in the next video we are about to make some Telugu food
so from the two telugu states, we're going to show the specialty dishes for that
so that's the series and today is the first day
so let's go make american breakfast for
sanjana
so now we're going to make two
different kinds of pancakes we're going
to make um birthday pancakes and
chocolate pancakes
and we are also going to make breakfast potatoes after that
so we decided on those two but I don't
know what else we're going to do, maybe drinks? I don't
know we'll see, so also watch that
I am arranging the bowls now and sanjana is getting the pancake ingredients
so in this bowl, we already added one cup of flour
two tablespoons baking powder and also
one tablespoon of sugar
and in mine we already added sugar and um flour already, i'm about to add baking powder
so let's mix these first
So I'm making the chocolate pancakes, and Sahithi is making the birthday pancakes
so birthday pancakes it's nothing
special
it's basically pancake mix, mixed with
sprinkles so sprinkles
so adding sprinkles makes them birthday pancakes
so, because today is Tuesday, we don't eat eggs, so we will add an
replacement and for the egg replacement we are using bananas
ok so I just mashed the bananas
and one banana is equal to one egg
so in pancakes, we usually add one egg on the days that we do eat egg
and that is why we are adding one banana
so you have to mash it like this, I'll give you half
yeah, so, since we are making two batters
and Sanjana mashed two so one is going in there and one is going in the other one
i'm gonna add half a tablespoon of cocoa
powder
that should be enough right
yeah, depending on how chocolaty you want the pancakes, add that much cocoa powder
so chocolate is nothing but cocoa powder
milk and sugar added together making chocolate
so basically the chocolate base is cocoa powder
i'm adding one tablespoon a little bit
more
all right, I'm going to go get the milk
so do you want this kind?
yeah
all right so we will add milk in the batter now
so this is a ratio, we have to add one cup of flour to one cup of milk
so this is the texture, the consistency
so the texture is kind of lumpy because of the banana
batter is ready and we will make breakfast potatoes now
all right so sanjana and is washing the potatoes
while sahithi is cutting the potatoes i'm gonna get the spices we need
so garlic is our choice we can put however much we want
um and same for the spices we can add according to our taste
and i think for these potatoes i'm going
to do like five cloves of garlic
yeah we like how garlic tastes so we will do a little bit more
so I'm adding the garlic now into the potatoes
okay so we're gonna add some extra
virgin olive oil
and you can add whatever oil you want but like we use this one regularly
so i'm gonna add like two spoons
because they are potatoes, more oil will make them extra crispier
do you want to mix it and we can add more if we need to
potato spice mix we added one tablespoon
of cumin powder coriander powder
turmeric powder paprika cayenne pepper
salt black pepper and italian seasoning
we added a tablespoon of each
so keep mixing everything like this, I'm gonna add more yeah so we're gonna need all of this
because potatoes like they are like a blank slate
though they taste better like more
spices you add they taste better
so keep mixing like this, and we are going to preheat the oven and by the time the oven is
preheated this will stay and any flavors will get absorbed
yeah they will marinate for some time
and we're gonna preheat it to about 350
degrees Fahrenheit
and its preheating now
so if you can hear it in the background, that is the oven preheating
and scrape this off because that is the yummy part
okay so what do you want to do with the
fruits
so I don't know fo you want to eat fruit salad?
- yeah I think that's better than smoothie
yeah so we were going to make a smoothie but fruit salad probably is going to taste
better so we will make fruit salad
so bananas
and I'm also cuutting the strawberries in half
and mom is going to cut the pineapple so we will add that too
so we just added the cut pineapples
and for the dressing we will add
lemon lemon zest and honey and lemon zest basically it's like the
peel of a lemon
and I washed the lemon. A good tip is to put the lemon in between your hands like this
and roll it the juice inside the lemon will come out easier
and I will take out some of the zest
so just like the peel
and I'm gonna mix this and Sahithi will add the honey
so just lemon and a little bit of honey
about a half spoon of honey
we will wrap the fruits and we can put it in the fridge to let it cool
fruit salad um will taste better cold so that's why
okay so the oven is preheated and I will put these
potatoes in the oven
So I just checked the potatoes they are cooking
and for the potatoes a good combination that
people usually eat with is mayonnaise or ketchup
but our favorite dip is sour cream dip
sour cream dip is really good with potatoes, so we're going to make that too
the base for that is the sour cream
so that's in the fridge i'm gonna get it
so this is the sour cream and I'm going to get Italian seasoning and chili flakes
so sour cream dip is really good its cold and soothing
it will be a nice compliment with the potatoes because they are spicy
because this is only for one part of the day I'm not going to make a lot
all right with this so i'm going to add
italian seasoning and chili flakes
I'm adding about two spoons chili flakes and then one spoon italian seasoning
So I'm going to cut the bread now, and because we made a lot of variety, we already told our mom
that we will take the kitchen today, so we are making like
a brunch
and we thought of making breakfast
getting up in the morning and getting ready, made us late, so we are just making a brunch
so i'm going to cut this french bread
alright so I will make the pancakes now, and this pancake griddle will make two pancakes at once because it on top of two stoves
so that is why I am going to add both front and back stove
i'm gonna put it to medium
so I made them like this and we can make them whatever size we want
but don't make them too thin because we like them to be a little thick
so basically put them on a pan with a spoon and don't spread too much, just a little bit if needed
so I'm adding the sprinkles now because the chocolate pancakes are almost done
and you don't have to mix a lot just a little bit on top
so sahithi is removing the pancakes now
okay so i'm gonna take out the fries or
the baked potatoes
the oven is really hot
so remove carefully because it's really hot
so these are the final plates, you can see we have pancakes
on top of the pancakes, we have honey strawberries and a flower just decoration
and then over here we have a glass of
orange juice
with our fruit salad
and then the breakfast potatoes with the dip
and the french baguette with olive oil
okay so the most important part now
tasting
more than tasting, actually eating because we're hungry
all right so i'm gonna eat 
- yeah do you want to try the pancakes first
they are really good
I think I want to see which one is better from both of the pancakes
you can taste the sprinkles in birthday
birthday is really good
I like the chocolate but birthday is also really good
both are good
- yeah
i'm going to try one without sauce and one with
I'm going to try with the dip
they're so good
the dip is so good
it's enhancing the potato flavor, its really good
it's better with the dip, like you said you're right
yes
I'm going to eat a strawberry now, I love strawberries
all of these are so good, make sure to try in your homes as well
and fruit salas is so easy to make but the flavor is really good
same with potatoes the potatoes are also really goo
and then juice
cheers!
alright so make sure to try this at home!
