Hi Suzy, quick tip on pilau you need to get those onions brown and brown your meat before boiling it. I personally find the Sunset pilau masala to have a better flavour. Hope my tips help you in future no need for gravy browning

[@seize.the.mindset]

I am absolutely amazed by your energy and how much you are getting done in one night! You are a rockstar! ❤

[@suzyshomestead]

Thank you! 😊

[@FebineAwuor]

Moms always want the best for everyone and having ready meals at home is just the best feeling. Thanks for the awesome meal idea.

[@suzyshomestead]

You are welcome Febine!😊

[@wholenewperspective]

I love watching you put these meals together.

[@suzyshomestead]

Thank you! 😊

[@kandisphere8828]

You always give me many meal ideas. I just started working from home, while studying and the only way to manage my life has been adopting your batch cooking style! Thanks Suzy ❤

[@suzyshomestead]

Glad it's working for you girl! 🤗

[@juliakimondo4382]

Thank you Suzy, I am seriously considering doing batch cooking because of you. For the pilau, I still buy the whole spices and then I grind them myself. It gives off such a strong flavour that you only need to use much less than the store bought ground spice.

[@lillgathogo]

Where do you buy the whole ingredients?

[@suzyshomestead]

You should try it Julia. It's so life-changing. And I love your idea of making your own pilau masala. I think the problem was that I used to put them in whole, not ground. 🙈🙈

[@dianakamau4188]

​@@lillgathogo Supermarket (labelled "whole pilau mix") or Ngara.

[@dianakamau4188]

Also try heating the whole mix in a pan or sufuria first for afew minutes as you stir frequently then grind.

[@Nitelella-nt]

I love the 'people' watching you cook

[@Rosesaresweet101]

Have you tried lentil bolognese? NYT has a recipe. Lentils added to your mine meat can change the texture a bit but will stretch your meat too.

[@suzyshomestead]

Oh wow! I'd love this one. I'll try it out next. The kids seem to not be enjoying the sweet potatoes in the lentil stew this time round. I don't know what changed. 😅😅

[@elizabethbekoe381]

The fish should be coated with flour and fish seasoning before frying ..

[@kamilalawal4468]

Suzy the fish was wet when you fried it,try sprinkling it wiz lil salt then air dry ,it should not be wet when you come to fry it,or either still frozen,put them on a tray to air dry for like 30 mins to 40 mins, trust me it will work

[@wendyoke7872]

Well done Sis that fish looks simply stunning to the eye and also delicious. Chef’s Kiss👌🏽

[@anitapilgrim6253]

Hello Queen I heard you mention that you could not find onion powder if you take a really pungent white onion sliced thinly dry it then put it on a baking sheet and put it in the oven at the lowest level or you can put it in a dehydrator leave it in the oven for up to 10 hours depending on your oven setting and then blend it up and there's your onion powder

[@suzyshomestead]

Thank you for the tip! 😊💐

For the fish, ulikuwa unaigeuza kabla haijaiva and that's why ilikuwa inang'oka nyama. Fish lazima uipee time iive vizuri kabisa ndio sa ugeuze. That way, nyama haitang'oka

[@suzyshomestead]

Thanks Diana! So glad you like it. 🤗🤗

[@DRventura333]

My goodness, cooking all that food the day before travel is amazing. Please what size was the pot used for the pillau? Agree always brown the meat first for all dishes separately. Seems the fish might have been in the heat too long before purchase (not stored properly) or not too fresh. Safe travels.

[@carolm1800]

Hello Suzy, try and remove the thing close to the nose. it may be expensive to remove later when it has complications. i am saying this with love.

[@suzyshomestead]

Thank you Carol. It's hereditary. My mom has one as well and she's thriving. Should the doctors ever advise I remove it,I will quickly do so. But so far so good. I appreciate your concern.

[@kendiiringo5857]

Beef tallow is one of the heathiest cooking oil to use. Yellow mood in the kitchen, yummy!

[@margretkates1394]

As to the fish, some days something will always go wrong! Everything else, perfect! And yum!

[@suzyshomestead]

Thanks Margret! That's so encouraging, and so true. 😂😂

[@ednahmilando2843]

Just a tip, The natural brown color of the pilau is achieved by browning the onions... I have noticed you just sweat your onions. With this method, you don't need to add anything for the color but be careful not to unguza the onions. Also wanted to ask.... How do you store your vegetables n salads without them losing their crunch and becoming rubbery or drab?

[@suzyshomestead]

Thanks for the tips Ednah! I'll do that next time! For the salads, I keep them without dressing in the fridge, and add dressing on the day we are eating. Also, I don't add lettuce until we are ready to eat. I've done a video on how to store vegetables. Please check it out. It has great tips for storing all other vegetables.

[@DaniElle-di4ho]

So jealous of your access to fresh food markets!!

[@lisadawson2652]

Wow you truly are super woman all you need is a cape 🙏🏾very happy your house help is feeling better ❤

[@suzyshomestead]

Aaww! Thanks Lisa! And yes, we're so grateful for healing.

[@charlotteyankey4708]

You should have sprinkle some flour to the oil before frying to prevent it from sticking to the buttom of the pan and breaking

[@charlotteyankey4708]

Or rather coat it with small amount of flour .it isn't the fish not being fresh

[@suzyshomestead]

Oh really?! Thanks! I really had no idea! I only made a few and the rest are on my freezer. I'll try this method and get back to you. 🙏🏿🤦🏿‍♀️

[@nellymatunda1767]

This happens if the fish isnt fresh darlin

[@edfroven]

Before you deep fry, make sure the fish has dripped water completely. Put salt in the pan too. The fish gets sticky because it's wet.

[@sarerashel2201]

I always enjoy your meals.❤❤❤if you know how you are making motherhood magic....weee congratulations you are doing good job.❤

[@suzyshomestead]

Thank you so much girl! I appreciate you.🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@linahbobo]

Hi Suzy, thank you for this video. Where can I get the glass storage containers?

[@rachelwagema2285]

The oil needed to be abit more hot to avoid that sticking

[@suzyshomestead]

Thank you for the tip Rachel!🤗

[@Emgrandproperties]

for such it means the fish was not fresh , dust a little bit of flour on the fish it helps to keep it intact and crispy

[@suzyshomestead]

Thanks a lot. I'll do that. 🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@explorer3455]

Hio fish ulichokora sana …as in you should let one side fry completely until it turns brown before turning. From the pic it hasnt turned abit.

[@suzyshomestead]

😂😂😂 for sure nilichokora! 🙈🙈

[@lydiachelangat7457]

Hi Suzy, how do you make your beef tallow oil.

[@bettyclare7834]

For the fish to cook well, you have to let the oil heat up for some time. to be super hot . that is why the fish fell apart. My mom corrected me way back

[@suzyshomestead]

Thanks a lot Betty! I'll make sure to do that next time. 🤗🤗

[@olooakinyi4708]

True,you got to let your cooking oil be super hot,this use to happen to me till 'mama samaki' gave me the tip

[@dinahawouragai2701]

Safe travels..Enjoy London❤

[@kendiiringo5857]

The chicken popcorn is a must try

[@Ruth-zz7gl]

Suzy sorry for the fish possible reasons why your fish is breaking are 1.The oil is not hot enough 2. The fish is not dry enough 3. It may not be very fresh 4.You may have turned it too fast before crisping up well....pole Also try dusting tge fish with a little wheat flour before deepfrying so that it doesn't stick especially when its not so dry.....then again doing it on a jiko does majic.....but its edible just make a nice coconut sauce and enjoy......🥰

[@suzyshomestead]

Thanks so much Ruth! You've explained it so well. I still have some raw fish in the freezer so I'll try all your tips. 🤗🤗

[@judysadowsky2186]

Hi Suzy, I am two weeks late watching your video. All your meals look very delicious, except the fish which I don't it good. I am not a fan of tilapia, some people in America loves it. Do you have other fishes besides tilapia. Hope you and your family enjoy your meals. Happy cooking and eating.

[@suzyshomestead]

[@joanwangui2863]

Be careful with the fishes coz it might be the nakuru ones which aint good for consumption..it behaves like that when cooked

[@bettynish6284]

Strange for the fish to fall apart while being deep fried? Yes, the fish could be stale or a strange type? But, love the way you prep meals❤

[@suzyshomestead]

❤️

[@lillgathogo]

Suzie, how do you cool your food before freezing it or do you put it in your freezer hot/ warm?

[@suzyshomestead]

I leave it to cool on the counter for no more than four hours..I realised it cools faster when it's divided into freezer containers, than when it's in the big pots.

[@lmongare]

Fish needs patience especially if maybe you got it from the fridge. They look like you were turning them too soon.

[@nyaxx38]

Hey thanks for the lovely work and tips as always, what is your plug for the fridge dishes?? does it matter if it is glass or plastic?

[@suzyshomestead]

@lmongare....thanks for thr tip! @nyaxx.. I find storing in glass dishes better

[@sarahnjuguna5399]

Hello suzy,does tallow oil makes the food greasy upon cooling down? You're just a vibe to me.

[@suzyshomestead]

Hi Sarah! No, the tallow does not leave a greasy feeling, especially if I don't use too much. Besides, because we reheat the meals on the stove, it's still okay. It's very tasty too. 😋😋

[@sarahnjuguna5399]

[@suzyshomestead]

Absolutely!! But you might need a deep freezer, not the fridge one, because of the frequent power cuts. In a deep freezer the food will stay more than 48hours without power. 🤗🤗

[@clareingasiani9657]

Suzy how do you manage to freeze mokimu for long without changing it's taste.

[@suzyshomestead]

Hey girl! It freezes very well! To reheat I just put it on very low heat with a little bit of water. As the water boils, the steam goes through it and heats it up nicely. Then I mash it again and it's good as new. 😋😋

My dear Suzie. Pilau color is purely purely from onions. First of all, for all that pilau you needed about 15 big onions - the more the merrier, 2nd, the onions have to brown to just almost burning BUT should not burn ( because it will be bitter) Otherwise, you are my super woman model.....
