- I'm gonna be calm.
I'm gonna be calm.
Huh! Huh!
Ahh! Ahh!
Ughhh!
Oh no, no, no, no, no!
Oh my god. What's happening?
Hey guys. It's Katie.
And I'm back with a very special guest.
- Hi!
I'm Aniket from Buzzfeed India.
- Last time Aniket taught me one
of his favorite recipes speaking only in Hindi.
And it was super fun.
So today we're trying a new challenge.
- We are going to see if I can teach Katie to make one
of my favorite burgers from McDonald's;
which is the Aloo Tikki burger, faster
than McDonald's can deliver it to me in India.
- I have never had this burger.
It sounds delicious.
This is going to be crazy
- But I am so here for it.
I cannot wait to see you struggle, Katie.
- (laughs) I'm not good at time challenges.
Oh my god! Four minutes?
Oh my god, I have a minute forty-seven.
Thirty seconds!
(she screams)
How quickly does it usually take McDonald's to deliver?
- Since the McDonald's is pretty close to my house?
Twenty minutes.
- No!
Twenty minutes is the death of me.
Hopefully this recipe isn't too complicated.
- According to me it's not,
(laughs) but I don't know.
I think it might be pretty easy to make
considering you have experience now
from last time.
- And you'll be speaking English.
- Yeah. I can speak in English now, finally.
- I'm ready.
- Okay. I've got my Aloo TIkki burger
and peri peri fries and a Coke on my cart.
- So I am making a burger and fries?
I just wanted to clarify.
- Yeah, you are making a burger and fries.
- Just another thing to add on.
Aloo I remember means potato,
I don't know what Tikki means though.
- Tikki means a Patty.
- Okay. Oh, a Patty.
- Okay. I got a text, its says ordered.
Let's start.
- No! Okay. Okay.
- You're on timer now Katie, let's go! Let's go!
- What do I do?
- You can take the flies and
and put it in the oven. Chuck it there.
We'll deal with them later.
- I have a sheet pan.
Just fries?
- Just fries.
- Does that look good?
Yeah.
- Oh yeah. That's great. That's great. That's enough.
- Wait, how hot?
How hot in the oven?
- Four fifty.
- How long?
- Fifteen minutes.
- Okay. fifteen. Let's do fifteen.
- Oh my god. Are you okay?
- Timer set. I don't know. I'm freaking out.
Okay. What, wait, what do we need to do now?
- You- Do you have to have a potato?
- Yes. I have a potato.
What do I need to do with the potato?
- Chop it up. Just chop it up.
Put it in a bowl.
Add some water and chuck it in the microwave.
- This is a terrible cut job.
What am I doing?
Don't look.
- I can't see, but sure.
- It's great. I'm doing great.
Don't worry about it.
Okay. I'm just going to-
I'm going to do it to smaller chunks.
So hopefully it'll go fast in the microwave.
- I don't know if you,
if potatoes will be boiled completely in five minutes
but the,
we can hope.
Katie, it's in the kitchen.
- It's in the kitchen!?
It tells you that in the app?
- Chuck it in the microwave quick.
- Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
Just- I have to- (laughs)
How quick do you think they are
in the kitchen at McDonald's?
- Very quick.
Have you been to a McDonald's Katie?
- Yes. (laughs)
Okay. Five minutes.
Five minutes.
Okay. That's done.
What should we do now?
- You can add oil to a pan and let it heat,
so that we can use it to fry stuff later.
And meanwhile, let's make the batter for the Tikki.
- What kind of burger is this?
It's a, it's a potato burger?
- Potato patty burger.
So we need to fry the Patty once it's out.
- I'm doing a shallow fry.
Cause I don't think we'll have time to wait
for this to like, get up to a deep fry.
- We need to do like fifty-three things at once Katie.
- Okay. I'm not, I'm not a good multi-tasker.
The oil is heating up.
What do I do now?
- Let's make the batter for
for the patty on the side.
In a bowl, take all purpose flour,
corn flour, and salt.
- So that's flour,
corn starch,
which wait
you guys call corn starch, corn flour?
- Yes. Doesn't everybody call it corn flour?
- We call it corn starch or there's corn meal.
- Oh, we just, we call corn starch, corn flour
because it's like a flour, right?
- Oh that's yeah, it is.
It does look like more like flour,
yours is more accurate.
Okay. Wait. Okay. So do I add salt?
Salt?
No salt?
Yes Salt?
- [Aniket] Yes Salt
And add water,
for like a slightly thick consistency.
- I've just used two different forks,
which has just made more dishes for me to do later.
Ugh!
Is it too wet?
- I think that's fine.
- That's fine. We're okay with fine.
- So make the iconic McDonald's sauce now.
Put some ketchup in it and some mayo,
some red chili sauce and mix it all up.
- Oh wait , you're frozen.
You're frozen.
Oh, you're back. But I can't hear you.
Oh my god. His wifi has gone out.
No!
Well, I've made this sauce.
I've got oil to heat and I've got potatoes
in the microwave and fries in the oven.
Aniket has left me here alone.
Guys, guys,
what do I do?
You're back?
That was a scary moment for me.
(They both laugh) Let's keep going.
How does this look?
- And that looks exactly like McDonald's.
- You said they've had this since you were a kid?
- I was six or seven years old, I went
to McDonald's for the first time as a kid.
And I've had this since, and it's not changed.
It's the exact same and reminds me of my childhood.
- Aw, okay.
I can't wait to try it, but we don't have time to be
sentimental. We need to it move!
- And we don't have time for emotions.
That's like me being a Sagittarian. (laughs)
- Wait the potat- The potatoes just finished!
- Okay. Now take them out.
Mash them up, really good.
And- (Katie Screams)
Oh my god. What's happening?
- They're too hard.
They need to go back in.
I'm giving them three.
Okay. So what else could we do?
- Should we make the seasoning for the fries?
- I got the stuff for the seasoning
- In a bowl,
take some cayenne pepper, some sweet paprika.
Do you have everything, right?
- I think I just put in cayenne.
I think that was cayenne, that was cayenne.
Ooh! That's a lot of cayenne!
- Yeah. It is quite a lot of cayenne.
- Is this tamarind?
- Yeah, that is tamarind powder.
Put it in there.
- I don't think I've had tamarind that much.
What is tamarind?
- It's very flavorful and it gives
like a tangy taste to all food.
- So then I've got, I think sugar.
- Yes. Sugar.
Some dried oregano.
- Yep. I have dried oregano.
Yep.
- Garlic powder.
- Yes.
- Onion powder.
- Yass.
- Salt. Okay.
- Did you add black pepper?
- Oh I do. I have black pepper right here.
It's getting hot in my kitchen because it's
four hundred degrees. (laughs)
- Just mix it all up.
- Ooh, this looks pretty.
Okay. Does that look right?
- Oh yeah, that looks perfect.
- Oh wait! The microwave is done. Okay.
Okay.
The seasoning is done.
Do any updates on where it is?
- Still in the kitchen.
That's strange.
- It being in the kitchen is a good thing.
Oh, hey! They're kind of soft.
- That's fine.
Maybe they can cook more when we shallow fry them.
- Yeah. They'll cook more when we shallow fry them
and they're ma- they're getting mashed.
They're mashing.
I'm noticing a theme.
Potatoes.
You love potatoes.
- Yeah. We all love potatoes.
They're just so versatile.
Like, they can go anywhere and add,
add character to the dish.
- With your potato burger,
do you always order fries?
- I do, because I love the peri peri fries.
That's like twice potato.
- Oh my god. Who cares? Katie.
- I don't, I don't.
I think it's great. I think it's great.
- I didn't even think
about it being the double potato until you brought it up.
- But I like it.
I like anything, that's double potato.
- Okay. Update.
It's on the way.
- Okay. Okay. Okay.
Does this look good? Does this look good?
Does this look good?
- That looks great. That looks great.
Let's, let's get, let's get our patties started now.
- Okay. What do I do? What do I do?
- Do your potatoes.
Just add some peas,
green peas and all of the masalas.
- Which ones are those?
- The turmeric powder,
red chili powder,
coriander powder and cumin powder.
- Cumin. I just did cumin.
And now last thing I've got going in is the garlic paste?
- Yeah. Add some ginger garlic paste and
some black pepper rest to it.
- Do you do salt too?
- Yeah. Add some salt, add some salt to taste.
- I'm done. I'm making, I'm mixing it together.
I'm mixing it together.
- Cool, Cool. We need to make patties
out of this mixture now.
- Okay. It's very hot.
So it's going to be hard to handle.
No pain, no gain. No pain, no gain.
The fries are ready.
Hold on.
Oh my god.
The fries need five more minutes.
- Five more minutes.
I don't know if we have that kind of time.
- Oh my god. I can see the guy on the little map.
- Oh no, no, no, no!
I just spilled oil.
I'm making a patty.
How big is this patty?
Does this look right?
Is that good?
Okay. That looks...
like a patty.
Okay.
Should I put him in the oil?
- Yes.
- Oh no. I shouldn't put him in the oil!
He's got to go in the batter!
- Oh no, no, yeah. It's- it's going in the batter sorry.
Breadcrumbs, then better, then breadcrumbs again.
And then oil.
- I would never do this with my hands.
I would not, but I am because
this is where we're at.
In the oil? In the oil?
- Yes. Yes. In the pan.
- Okay. The oils sort of hotted up.
I'm going to turn the heat up. Oh god.
- Okay. Let's, let's get the fries out.
- Fries! Fries! Fries!
Okay, the Fries are out.
What do I do with the fries?
- Do you have a paper bag?
I was wondering what this was for.
- Okay. Add like a tablespoon of the-
of the spice mix, which we made.
- I'm just going to eyeball it.
- More peri peri, the better.
Okay. Now add the fries in there.
- Do we know where he is?
Is he close?
- I don't think the location on the map is updating.
So I don't know where he is
but he's definitely out for delivery.
- It's like a horror movie.
You don't know where they are!
- Okay, now just shake it rigorously.
- This is how they serve it?
- (laughs) That's exactly how they serve it.
- (laughs) This is fun!
Look at that.
- Exactly. That's what I'm talking about.
- Okay. I won't eat it yet.
I want to eat it so badly.
- Okay. What's happening with your Patty?
- I don't know. The patty could be on fire for all I know.
I don't know what to- (laughs)
Okay. Ooh. It's very Brown.
Okay. I got to flip it.
Should I get the fixings?
- Oh yeah, let's do that.
I still don't know where the delivery guy is.
- I think we could beat him.
- I think we might.
- How many minutes has it been?
Do you know?
- It's been exactly 21 minutes right now.
- Flown by.
I, it feels like it's been two minutes.
I'm using brioche buns, which seems kind of fancy
for McDonald's.
- Oooh!
- but they look pretty.
- Take the sauce and put it on
one side of the button.
- Top, bottom, doesn't matter?
- Bottom.
- Okay. I'm going bottom.
Oh, this looks good.
- Now place some lettuce leaves.
- Do iceberg lettuce? Butter lettuce?
I have iceberg.
- All lettuce is good lettuce.
- Oh! All lettuce is good lettuce, Aniket.
I think that this patty is probably done.
- Okay. Let's put the patty on.
- I do- I feel like I should
put him on a paper towel first
or I'll just hold him in the air and let him drip.
- Drip. Drip!
Okay, now add like two onion rings.
Two slices of tomato on it.
- Okay, great.
Okay. Okay.
I've got the two slices of tomato.
- Like top it off at some sauce again.
- I used all of that sauce.
So...
- More sauce is great.
Okay. Now close the bun.
We're done.
- Wait, wait.
We're done!
We beat- we
we won!
[Katie] Yes! Yes!
- You won the challenge.
- We won the challenge.
- Oh! We won the challenge true.
And the delivery guy still not here.
- Well, I'm like pretty proud.
I just want to show you how tall.
(Aniket laughs.)
Maybe I should try to make another patty.
Let's try patty 2.0.
- Try patty 2.0, this is,
I'm feeling like we are overachieving kids,
who would do an extra project
for extra credit for no reason.
- We could stop. We could stop there,
but we want to be the best
and that's not annoying at all.
Do- have you ever made this at home?
- It takes 20 minutes to reach my house.
Why would I make it?
- All right, I'm going to put this.
- (A doorbell rings) Ooh! Delivery is here!
I'm going to go get it.
- Delivery is here!
- (cheering) Well, we beat delivery.
We didn't get the extra credit.
We didn't get the extra credit though.
- But you know what?
That's fine.
- This guy is pretty much, kind of done. So?
(Aniket cheers)
That seems more like a normal sized patty.
- Oh, that's so- That's good.
- Is it too little now?
- It's not too thin.
It's still looks quite huge.
I'm sure it's, it's, it tastes great.
- Well, I'm going to clean up
and then let's compare what I made
with what McDonald's delivers.
- Let's do that.
Let's taste test!
This is mine.
- [Aniket] That looks so good Katie!
And it looks like a gourmet burger.
Let me show you the actual,
Aloo TIkki Burger.
I mean, you can see the, the sauce.
I don't think they put lettuce in this.
- (laughing) Wait, wait I have lettuce.
I have lettuce on this burger.
- That, that just makes it gourmet.
- Okay. Should we try it?
- Let's try it.
- Unbelievable. I am shocked by how tasty that is.
The sauce is sweet and spicy and tangy.
And then that patty just has so many spices
and flavors, like you get the Curry.
There's the peas in there,
but they need to have this in the United States.
- I am so glad you liked it because
I love this burger so much.
There is so much going on.
It's like the quickest,
easiest burger to get from McDonald's.
Also, I think this burger is
like the most popular burger at McDonald's India.
That's why they've never taken it off the menu.
- I feel like I'm gonna start a campaign
to get this on our menu.
- Let's check the fries.
- Fries were probably my favorite cooking part of this.
- Because they're so fun to make.
They are so fun to assemble.
So first the fries.
- This is like an activity kit.
Like I, this is so fun!
- In goes the masala.
- Why is it called period, period?
Or is it peri peri?
- I'm not sure why it's called peri peri.
- If you know in the comments,
let us know.
- And then shake them.
- If you wanted to get a party going
just order the peri peri fries.
- My fries are ready.
- Nice. Should we do this?
This is like one of my favorite meals.
- I don't think I can go back to normal fries after this.
- You know what? And also I feel like I wouldn't overeat it.
Because it's like, it's just packed with so much flavor.
I would feel very satisfied.
- But you can probably just get fries
from McDonald's and add your homemade seasoning to it.
- Wait. Can I get Chris to come try this burger?
- Yeah. - Hey, Chris!
- [Chris] This burger looks really good.
That is delicious.
- Is that so good?
- I thought it was very, very tasty.
Can I try one of these fries?
- These are peri peri fries.
- Yeah. These are way better than, than our fries. - Yeah.
- Once you will be peri peri, you can't go back to normal.
- That's absolutely true.
- No. I can't eat another fry again!
This is about, this is as good as it gets!
- Well that solved some problems-
- [Chris] Thank-you! - [Katie] for us.
Aniket! Thank you so much for teaching me how to make one
of the most, amazing burgers I've ever eaten in my life.
