Cooking Persian Food with Mama!

[@Danielle_4.]

Mama is so cute, she pulled up Yas' shirt as if Yas isn't a whole grown woman but NOT around Mama K. Love it

[@YasminKavari]

😂❤️

[@Nghilifa]

She's always gonna be "Mama's little girl" to her mother, that's just how it is 🤣

[@saeedvazirian]

First of all hide these 😂😂😂

[@NessaL.00]

I just noticed that she had her shirt like that in the thumbnail too! 😂

[@King__Mo]

You don't get it cuz you are not Persian

[@nicoleguerrero3505]

The way that you and naz treat y’all parents just shows how great they were to you guys. God bless you guys!

[@ShwtyNameToya]

See even Middle Easterners "clean" their chicken by boiling and "washing" it. Caribbean folks "wash" our chicken too with vinegar water or lemon & water. Food looked great by the way.

[@ldmd._2536]

Keda D. Why the “folks”? Don’t be disrespectful

[@godsgirl7201]

Yesss!

[@Sabrina11113]

ldmdiazz huh? Lool I was more so upset with the “they” when she could’ve said middle easterners..

[@gigglez199401]

I love that she boiled the chicken 😩

[@daydream3238]

Yesss my mother puts also a lot of salt in it

[@aleaessa5291]

I'm Moroccan and It's crazy how similar the cuisine is , we also get rid of the chicken smell , but we soak the chicken in vinegar lemons water and ginger .

[@EpicEternal2]

Make your video and please share! Love Morocco from Iran!

[@romeissam9204]

I'm Algerian and I was thinking of the same thing 😍

[@Gozde_xo]

wouldn’t mind seeing a ton of cooking w/ mama videos during this quarantine 😊

[@Chaparrita-1122]

She’s needs to making a cooking channel ❤️ I’m in love!

[@blossom7736]

Sydney Zepeda she really does I love her food looks soooo delicious 🤤

[@facelessman5362]

Y'alls mom is really a great family leader, you can tell she wanted to raise class daughters. I know people will make jokes about her pulling up your shirt but that's a mother who cares about how her daughters are received in the world. Need more parents like this, esp in this social media age.

[@Sweetjasofmine]

Keep the “Cooking with Mama” videos coming. I love trying new things to cook.

[@serrgggeo]

She should host a cooking class in LA. All these Persian moms needs to share their secrets, lol. I would pay good ass money for a cooking lesson from Mama Kavari!!!!

[@BadTasteforguys]

Can you do a full video in Farsi? I can’t even speak it, but I like to hear others native tongues. They express differently. Love your videos as always

I am brazilian and my wife is from Teheran, I love the food from Iran, I can cook persian food like your mother! Now I am a full Iranian! 😄😄😄😄

[@Jerod_jay]

No she ain't

[@ofif5083]

So we Egyptian’s have a secret way of getting the smell out of the chicken with out cooking it. You take the chicken and take fresh lemon and kosher salt squeeze the whole lemon or lemons depending on how much chicken you have then take kosher salt like 1/3 5 tablespoons again depending on how much chicken you got going and put it on the chicken rub it /mix it together and let it sit like that for 15 minutes or so than wash the chicken and tadaaa all the smell is gone chicken is clean and ready to be cooked.

[@angeljones2412]

Ofi F I never knew chicken had a smell

[@narsis273]

@@angeljones2412 it has actually! In western countries people don't care about it as it seems, but here people think fish, red meat and chicken have annoying smell that you should get rid of them or other wise the food would be stinky!

[@narsis273]

We do that too mostly for fish, but boiling chicken is not only for removing the smell it's said that they contain hormones and for cleaning it from them it's better to boil it first a little.

[@ofif5083]

Modern Mystic yess it’s hard to explain what kind of smell, but it sure does. If you follow either mine or hers pre chicken washing it will be AMAZING

[@zarifaedouard6078]

We Palestinians do the same thing!!

I AM A GIRL LATIN BUT I LOVE THIS FOOD

Yasmin, this is beautiful! I am mixed White and Persian! I can see the love your mother puts in to the cooking, and that is what Persian food is about! Nothing better than authentic cooked Persian food! This brings back so many memories of learning these kinds of recipes with my Ameh Zari.

[@courtneyclark2078]

Love the cooking videos! I cook a lot and i’ve never cooked Persian food before and these dishes looks so flavorful and delicious! I will definitely be trying this out soon.

[@sonyamaher325]

Wow coming across this made my heart so happy. My family lived in Columbus and went to Jeddo for probably 15 yrs before we moved to California. Have not found anywhere here with nearly as good kabob, rice or tadig! Please give mama kavari my salaam’s, and tell her Sonya misses her tadig!!

[@bugsmamahanna]

I moved into my boyfriends families home and this reminds me of my home, I’m gunna cry. I never cared enough as a teen to learn how to cook what baba taught my Mawmaw and I regret not learning anything

Thanks for sharing this video and all your mom's cooking secrets haha! It's amazing to see the similarity of spice use among Persians and Indians/Caribbeans! I have all of these ingredients at home but have never made anything like this before, it's something I will definitely try while in quarantine :)

[@decembersidderwhite7437]

That rice method is so interesting to me with the barrier! And momma know what she doing ! A lot of tips and tricks 😉. Thanks for sharing!

I'm salivating watching this because of corona virus lockdown i can't go out and eat at a restaurant feeling so sad

[@lovecede]

Mama Kavari needs a cookbook!!!

[@nikarandall3087]

I LOVE this! Coming from a persian, it's so hard for me to learn from my mom because she literally does everything by memory, no measuring lol.

[@morpheuse4670]

Zereshk polo is really great with kimchi or some pickles with fried potato,you got to try it guys!you gonna go crazy!

[@Golehzarif]

Ofarine!! Dasteh shomal Darde narconeh. Finally good quality persian food instructions!! I’m married to an irani, I lived in Iran for 6 months, I’ve met his whole family and to this day I’ve taught myself how to cook persian meals. His family hasn’t taught me anything and if I ask questions they just say i don’t know. I can make zeresht polo ba morgh, khoresteh gormeh sabzi, khoreshteh karafts, DZ, ab ghoosht, loobia polo, khoreshteh bamieh, jujeh kabob, kabob koobideh, adasi, adas polo, mast o musir, mast o khiar, fesenjoon, shirazi salad. I can cook almost all of it. This is the first time I’m watching something that explains why it’s this way. Like the tadig tip blew my mind. I can never get it right and no one gives me answers, just na medunam. The next cooking with Maman can you please make sweet fesenjoon. Mine always comes out sour, which isn’t a problem because everyone has their preferences, but I love the sweet one better and can’t make it.

[@Golehzarif]

And I hav family in central Ohio. Close to grove city! Next time I visit my husband, my son, and I are coming to visit your restaurant 😍🤤🙌

[@dijadodo5910]

No need to boil chicken it takes all the moist out of it and its watery when you cook it , you might soak it in salted water and rub it with slices of lemon and ginger powder, it works perfectly for a whole chicken as well and leaves a nice smell, that's how moroccans cleans fresh chicken before storing it in the freezer.

[@nabamitadey9349]

Boiling is better because it kills the germs that may stick to the chicken.

[@dijadodo5910]

@@nabamitadey9349 umm you r cooking it till boiling anyway, so practically no need for boiling, plus the smell of boiled chicken is disgusting

I never cooked in my life specially Persian foods, my mum just never was interested to show me anything, but this video really demonstrated how to cook authentic persian foods I love how simple you explaining it and you also share grandmother tales ams tips ,like why you should soak your rice in salt water or how to get rid of the chicken smell by boiling it first ..this is gold. Thank you so much! Now I can cook my favourite food. ❤ A question though can I use rapeseed oil instead of animal ghee? I'd like to keep it still quite healthy idk if that is possible with Persian foods 😅 I do remember my grandma did switch to rapeseed oil to make it healthier.

[@syedamalihahuq9172]

I have tried cooking the chicken exactly how it is shown. I must say, this chicken dish is a bomb, so flavourful. 100/100. It's delicious 😋😋😋😋❤❤❤💘💘💘

Hey! Great video 👍 just a tip from a chef! Always wash ur vegetables and fruits, reason being that a lot of non organic stuff ( and even some organic veggies and fruits) are sprayed with heavy chemicals to keep bugs and stuff away so be sure to wash it in hot water! 😁👍 Be safe and have a great weekend everybody
