What I Eat in a Day 🇮🇳Indian Food🇮🇳 Healthy Diet as 🇳🇱Netherlands Foreigner in India🇳🇱

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

See I don't only eat Rajdhani thali, Kerala sadya, Karnataka oota and luxury buffets lol. Any other questions you have about my regular Indian food diet? Lemme know! PS This video is a reaction to people who are curious how I stay fit. I'm not asking for diet recommendations as I'm already fit and very happy with my body.

[@harisha9782]

I am happy you make curd rice like local food. Now your are true "kannadath" that mean karnataka girl💛❤️

[@vvbhat]

ohooooooooooooo

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

Yaaasss

[@anantsky]

Maida is good for health...lol. I'd think twice before eating it after 25 yrs. of age.

[@arpanabinaswar1811]

Pet kharab Ho Jaega😅 maggi khaane ke baad 2 ghante tak kuch nahi

[@kisaan01]

Every indian like having rice and dal as their perfect meal combo for lunch and sometimes dinner. 😍😍😍😍💞💞😁

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

So good!

[@hitensharma5993]

All good and never knew about curd rice and that Tadka which was awesome.Will try it very soon. . Just two things. 1. Mustard oil should be smoky hot and once it cools down a little bit, then add things to it. 2. Always add tomato after adding all masalas like Haldi, Red Chilli powder, dhaniya powder etc and saute for a couple of minutes. It will give a very good color.

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

Thanks for the tips!

[@tarun1982]

Chaas is usually a bit spiced I mean... like the good digestive spices. So glad to see a glimpse of Bambi who i've been longing to see in your videos.

[@sharvind8952]

It’s really nice to see how positively you show Bengaluru and south India !! But a humble request is to please please learn Kannada , instead of you using Hindi words which will make us happy and proud ❤…. Best wishes and I’ve been watching all of your videos

[@amberlavalley]

To me this is such a balanced and joyful approach to food. It's refreshing to see ♥️ I've been watching your channel for a long time and its really inspiring to see how you've thoughtfully and and authentically adapted. As an American with a husband from Bengaluru ive been inspired and encouraged to be myself, respectfully, in that amazing city. Lucky for you to live there full time❤❤♥️

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

Thank you so much!!

[@shubam6465]

OMG! You have become a legit pro in Chai making..

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

Haha thanks!

[@mj-ev8hu]

Watching this while eating my breakfast/lunch and it really made me want to make daal for dinner and afternoon chai with black cardamom (never thought of adding that to my chai, now very curious)! Always appreciate your videos a lot. Inspiring, positive, down to earth honest and real. And of course, I´m also love India and Indian culture.

[@Itsjyotisolanki]

You’re doing great in living Indian life. Good luck and lots of love to you from North India❤

absolutely great routine, dont worry what anyone comments, stick to what you think is suitable for you that's it...

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

Thanks, will do!

[@itshazzybee]

I started watching Ivana when I was 11-12, I loved seeing a foreigner truly enjoy India and everything the culture offered. I moved to india when I was 14 and learnt about various parts of the country from her. Today I'm 20. Will be moving out soon and now I'm learning Desi recipes from her. Ivana is my virtual Didi now haha💖💖💖

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

Whaaatttt that's wild haha!!!! It makes me so happy!

[@itshazzybee]

@@IvanaPerkovicOfficial you're truly the best! I'm so happy I found your channel! Gonna remember you each time I make that delicious dal, Ivana Didi🥺💖

[@arpanabinaswar1811]

5:38 Instead of Dal try some Smashed Patatoes with Onions/chillies (Basically Aloo Bharta ) it taste good with Curd Rice / Curd and Rice. If you want you Can try Saag for some greens in my Region we eat a lot of Greens espiciallt Saag soo

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

Oh yum that sounds delish!

[@divyatalwar8495]

Make more videos of what you eat. It was fun watching this.😊

[@Yogeshvlog1437]

You are eating pure country Indian food which is good for health

[@pradeepsaral6944]

Really impressed with your Chai.Very few people can take a massive intake of spices.I also take a mix of seven massalas I.e. Cardamom, Cinnamon, Black Pepper, cloves,,Licorice(Muleth)i,Holy Bassil and Ginger with my morning tea ( without any sugar or artificial sweetner) .It sounds bizarre, but am taking it since1st wave of Covid believing to be an immunity booster.

[@kirole7381]

Watching from France, frankly speaking you have given me the will to learn about this beautiful cuisine, and you are talented !

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

Aw thanks!

[@bearclaire]

Would be fun to see a what I used to eat as a child or teenager growing up in the Netherlands. As a comparison to your new way of eating in India 😁

[@indomannn]

Ivana Ma'am what I do is I mix dal chawal (dal rice) and 3 spoon of curd in my dal chawal and mix them all together and that is my most fav dish everre since childhood

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

yuuummmm

[@adityarao8570]

This was my exact food that I ate in NL for 5 years as an indian on a daily basis except the cheese (gouda) was better!!! Loved your video btw!

[@Shaunashares]

I really enjoyed this video, it was comforting and joyful to watch ❤

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

Aw thanks!

Just add a pinch of hing (asaphotida) to buttermilk.its healthy drink i'm given if i have acidity

[@anupamdas1811]

You looked amazing in Indian home style cooking. The wonderful aroma makes the dishes the best. Each recipe is incomparable with its unique taste.

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

Thanks a ton

[@backpackinyogini8065]

Absolutely love the Dhal recipe and the curd rice. Of course chai. I’ll have to try your version of Dhal as I literally live off it. Thank you for sharing 🇮🇳🙏🕉

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

Yay enjoy!

[@katiesethna]

I really love the things you eat, breakfast , lunch and dinner. Simple and scrumptious.. I sometimes have a grilled sandwich instead of dinner but with different fillings obviously. I like your lifestyle.

[@archieravi11]

Wow youŕe actully eating green chillies! You are truly Indian!

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

No no I'm not haha Sorry to disappoint

[@archieravi11]

@@IvanaPerkovicOfficial I meant that I saw you adding green chillies to the dal! That is awesome! I am Indian but can barely tolerate one odd green chilli in the food! I am not at all talking about just eating chillies as it is or fried even! that is a total different level of tolerance which I dont think I will ever have:)

[@srinivaskanchinadham641]

Try various millets. So many varieties of millets in india. Good healthy food. Try various millets recipes.

[@NandaKumar-bx8qc]

Curd rice with mango pickle is legendary!!

[@jobedu2453]

Thank you so much bhai!

[@nehadabar2007]

sumptuous meal ! Love your vibe

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

Yay!

[@jaisonnoronha9337]

Nice video. I cannot have dal rice without curd as well. It's a must. I would highly recommend having lime pickle specifically and fried or baked papad (crisps) with it. Super delicious.

[@ashokreddy2982]

Tip for making maggi perfect(i don't call exact perfect it's just how I make try it once if you are intrested) 1) boil water first 2) put those Maggie noodles in water 3) let them cook for 2 or 3 min and then they will gets bulge by absorbing water... 4) then add masala...you can add extra items at this time... 5) then cook for some time then your Maggi is ready.... If you do it like this may be your noodles absorb masala very well i think...and better don't eat Maggi daily it will be unhealthy it you do eat daily.....may be 2 or 3 times a week..

[@rajeshnvijo-dj7dk]

This is what most Indians eat through the day... Guess you're become truly Indian 😊

[@aravind4090]

Thanks for sharing amazing video 😇☺️

[@johndsouza6655]

Wow ... 👌

[@akhila803]

Dal and curd rice is my favourite combo too❤

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

So good!

[@anantsky]

Wrong combo. Leads to indigestion.

[@TSP.Pulse23]

You can cook tomato along with dal in pressure cooker. And In your tadka you need to increase (not too much) oil littel bit it gives you ultimate taste. Anyhow, you done a good job. Welldone👌

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

Thanks for the tips!

[@thedalsingh]

Whats your water intake and do you drink the tap water or bottled?

[@savourerlavie6761]

Can you please do more such what I eat in a day videos???

[@Shinojkk-p5f]

Do you use plastic chopping board?

[@ashugonda]

I too love ❤ most fav Daal + Chawal + Plain Dahi/Curd(Added on top after Dal Chawal is served on Thaali) and mix them with Hand... But your Twist for Dahi+Chawal combo with Daal seems interesting never heard of it...

[@worldoftravels2020]

Great video. Can you make similar videos often like a day in a life in India about daily lifestyle. Food, shopping etc.

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

Yup!

[@aryanab1]

IV you made the chai so luxurious. Will definitely try to make. 😊

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

Hahahha thanks!

[@jiteshi3217]

Ivana, everything you made are my favorites & chai making is like a pro than Indian. I make them the same way, and I also loved it. Curd rice with dal is the most favorite one among all😍

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

Yay so happy to hear that!

[@hitensharma5993]

Cooked Daal and curd rice exactly the same way and it came out so scrumptious that everybody liked it. And I overate. Now curd rice would be a frequent dish in our meals.

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

Yaayyyy so happy to hear!

[@zigzagsolti5998]

You have become a good cook atleast for yourself😊

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

Haha thanks!

[@vvbhat]

U R MORE INDIAN THAN INDIANS

[@chandrashekarr9390]

Ideally the dinner that you eat should be the breakfast that you are taking. Lunch should be your evening snack of noodles. And dinner the lunch (toast bread).. That way you will be eating as per your calorific needs..still maintaining the same menu. Just a suggestion to try out

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

I'm actually very happy with my body, digestion and fitness. This video is a reaction to people who admire my fitness also haha Why change something that works for me?

[@admannas123]

I love chai and prefer it over coffee anytime and ahhh yes this jaggery makes it super special

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

soooo good!

[@ryuk7181]

I was very slim in my teen (now 21) but due to lower back injury i was not able to go out so i gained weight. my mum calls me dhaddhu (ढड्डृ) , fat cat in my local language. Thanks for sharing your diet.❤

Hahah too kind!

[@pravinsen2689]

Today first time I saw your vlog . Why only south India what about west bengal why don't you come here and make some vlog.

[@anantsky]

You should be eating sweets before dinner coz the sugar in it gets digested in less than a min. and will exit your stomach. When one eats sweets after dinner the sugar ferments and also causes the food to ferment.

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

Nah I have no problems with my digestion but thanks for the thought

[@anantsky]

@@IvanaPerkovicOfficial Of course not now but matters once the body enters a chronic state.

[@Ducktility]

Maybe you should make maggi in microwave to save time and washing more utensils. Just add 190ml of water to the 70gm packet and microwave for slightly less than 5 minutes. Let it stand for 2 minutes and its ready!

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

I can't control the water in the microwave as much as with gas😅

Good diet...I like the idea of intermittent fasting..that does help one's health very seriously. Funny how people ask you how do you stay thin...You may have to do a video on 'nutrition' or how to eat well in India without weighing 150 kilos...Keep eating like you do...I am not sure how healthy ghee is but how can you not have ghee with Indian dishes ??? LOL' Love the chai recipe !

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

hehe sooo true!

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

Thanks!

[@sandcqmsConsultant]

Although I can see u are eating same as Indians but portions and timings may be varing. That maggi is not good and it replaces breakfast....Off course evening breakfast. Rice and curd, milk with fatt everyday with that much qty not good. Paneer, Tomato, dal, brown bread, neeta water good for health. Some years after u will gaain weight 100%.

[@stanzin_thayas]

Travel to ladakh 😊

[@nishthagupta1357]

Chai is only made with half water & half milk. Its not a preference. That's basically the recipe lol😂

[@atulmalhotra2303]

I am sure you have tried Boondi raita. If not, go do it immediately.Iva Raita is nothing but yogurt mixed with spices (red chilly powder, cumin powder, garam masala, even amchoor and pudina powder. Some people even put fried tadka on top of their raita. We normally don't mix the whole batch of rice with yogurt/ raita. We prefer to mix rice and raita in our plate only. Dal is my ultimate comfort food as well. You made it nearly perfectly Iva. Try making nuts like kidney beans, black gram, chickpeas, soyabean etc too. The basic process remains the same as for dal.

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

Obvs I'm eating rajma, monng dal, lobia etc too haha. I don't like boondi raita though as the boondi gets too mushy for my taste

[@atulmalhotra2303]

@@IvanaPerkovicOfficial Rajmah rice is the ultimate comfort food up here in North India Iva 🙂. My personal favourite though is black grams with rice.

[@anantsky]

Ivana you're bang right with skipping BF. I'd suggest you to skip lunch as well so that you eat OMAD with absolute hunger in the evening.

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

Is this a joke haha? No way I wanna skip lunch lol

[@anantsky]

@@IvanaPerkovicOfficial If one feels double the hunger by evening then it makes sense to quit lunch. Imagine if you're eating lunch and dinner with lack of hunger then it's a double damage. Yogi eats once, bhogi eats twice and Rogi eats again and again.

[@victordashmohapatra3546]
