Alia Bhatt Cooks Zucchini Sabji With Chef Dilip & Here Is The Recipe

Gangubai actress Alia Bhatt is a favourite of many and her YouTube channel has kept us glued every time she uploads a new video. This time she took to another cooking session in the kitchen wherein she made South Indian Zucchini Sabzi or vegetable with Head Chef Dilip helping her out, who even travels with her on her shoots. Between the cooking session, there was oodles of friendly banter and some food related secrets of Alia that were shared by Dilip and Carol as well.

"Last time we made Chia Pudding and a beetroot salad and the next we were moving on to South Indian Zucchini Sabzi. This is a real cooking and I am a little nervous. This is the first time I am making a sabji." Sharing the ingredients needed in the sabzi, Alia went on to cut the zucchini which she was clearly a bit scared of doing.

Meanwhile, Alia shared that usually when she is travelling, Chef Dilip travels with her. "I feel very very blessed for that that he can travel with me because to go an explain to the chef that we are travelling, the diet etc as I am constantly on a diet."

Carol and Dilip teased that her diet changes every few days, mostly 10-12 days. The actress shared that she changes her diet frequently as she gets bored eating the same thing or flavour over and over again.

While going on the sets, Alia carries her food from home. The actress shared that "Carol can tell you how emotional I can get when my food is not right." Carol shared that "Maam bahut bahut gussa hojati hai". The food should be proper and be on time is one of those issues Alia has.

Carol shared that regarding this issue "we are very conscious about that ki maam ko sab time par mil jaana chaiye." Alia said that she is a "bit of a tyrant when it comes to food. It's not a good thing but I have to do it. Because food makes me very happy."

Dilip shared that "party ka khaana banaane keliye mai bahut excited rehta hun."

Speaking on Dilip's cooking skills, Alia Bhatt shared that "Dilip ka ek mutton dish hai which is world famous. Every one has had this mutton and they all have asked for the dish."

The actress shared that one day we will make the mutton dish as well for YouTube but "I don't eat mutton, so I would not know how to do that but it is his speciality."

Once you have cut the zucchini into pieces, switch on the gas and pour half tablespoon oil on a non-stick and then one teaspoon rai.

It was also a bit fun watching Alia getting scared when the mustard seeds started crackling but it was kind of adorable as well, since Alia hardly knows how to cook and she is trying her best.

Next up, put 1 full teaspoon of hing or asafoetida, curry leaves or karri patta, chopped green chilli, half teaspoon and then add in the zucchini.

Keep stirring and then sprinkle salt as per taste.

Meanwhile, Alia shared that she used to love watching cooking shows and she would do that when she was always on a diet and that would want to make her eat more food.

Now, cover the dish for two minutes on medium heat.

"As I said I keep changing my diet, since I moved out of my house, I was very simple. I used to eat very basic food. But even now and the I keep going back to basic dal and chawal. Dahi chawal or curd rice is one of my favourites. Even though it is not great apparebtly for people into fitness but I think it's fine.

"When I got outdoors (shooting) then when I ome back home, I want my basic dal chawal and one sabji which is pumpkin or bhindi.

Next up, season with some spices. Take half teaspoon coriander powder, one fourth teaspoon jeera powder, one fourth teasponn saunf powder, one fourth teaspoon amchur powder and then mix.

Alia shared a bit on her midnight snacking issues as well. She said: "I usually sleep very early but when I don't get to sleep then I wake up midnight and come to the kitchen and pick up something from the fridge. The next morning I always go and scream at Carol."

Every time this happens, Alia asks Carol to empty the fridge. There should be nothing in the fridge. Dilip shared a secret of hers and that is her love for sweet dishes.

Dilip shared that one of the reasons why Alia asks them to empty the fridge is that every time they make a sweet dish, she comes midnight, fills a bowl.

"And sometimes people are constantly sending cakes and all. So now Dilip and Carol have started coming and telling me that somebody has sent a cake so we are warning you whether you want to keep it or not."

Next, put two tablespoons of grated coconut and then saute a bit. Then sprinkle some chopped coriander. Now serve.
