Welcome to our international kitchen. My name is Bhakti Devī. We continue with our international cooking for the seminar "Yoga in Daily Life." This is my dear friend Kamalā Devī, who will translate for me. She is my translator. Today, we will explore the international cuisine of Slovakia with our national dish: halušky with bryndza. We need potatoes (zemiaky), plain white flour (biela múka), whole grain flour (celozrnná múka), sheep cheese (bryndza), onion (cibuľa), salt (soľ), and sunflower oil. First, we cut the potatoes into small cubes. To make it easier, we put them into a mixer. The potatoes are not cooked; they are raw. It must be very fine—we have already prepared some to show you how it looks. This is from four or five medium-sized potatoes. Now, we add whole grain flour: half a cup. The rest of the cup will be plain white flour. We also add half a teaspoon of salt. We mix the potatoes and flour together until we have a paste, a combined mixture like this. While we prepare this, we will boil the water—about three liters. We add one full spoon of salt. I have already put it in. In Slovakia, we have a special tool for making halušky, but today we have to help ourselves like this. We prepare the mixture, and the water is still boiling. We put a small amount of the halušky mixture into the water. We can add a little bit of oil. I think this is enough for a demonstration. Yes, for a demonstration, for sure. We have already prepared some halušky, which look like this. We cook halušky for seven minutes. They are cooking for about seven minutes. Yes, seven minutes. Now, we can prepare the dish. Katka, can you please help me fry the onion? Give me a little sunflower oil. I will try to put it here. We will fry the onion. Now, I will slowly sauté the onion. Next, we will add the cheese. We can mix the cheese with yogurt. We mix it together. Cibuľa sa nám osmáhla (The onion is sautéed for us). Znovu orion i dres oredni (Again, onion and dressing fried). Dajme trošku na vrch orestovanú cibuľku (Let's put a little sautéed onion on top). Ako vyzerá? (How does it look?) Ako vyzerá. Dobrú chuť (How it looks. Good appetite). Dobrú chuť (Good appetite).
