Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Asalam alaikum and hello dear friends

Hope you all are doing well

It’s night time 🌙

Preparing yogurt for tomorrow

Pouring 2 litres of low fat milk into the pot

I thought this pot could hold 4 liters…

But only 2 liters fit

Turning on the heat — medium flame

Stirring slowly to prevent it from burning

The sound of gentle bubbles almost ready

Now, let the milk cool down

Warm enough to dip a finger comfortably ✋

Adding 1 tbsp of yogurt as the starter

Mixing gently until smooth and even

Covering it

Wrapping it to keep it warm overnight

Now it will rest for 6–8 hours

It’s morning

Out for a morning walk

Fresh morning air 🌿

Starting the day with a walk

On my way home

Emptying the dishwasher before anything else

Preparing my little ones’ breakfast

This is an Afghan paratha — do any of my Afghan viewers know this one?

Looks like dosa, but it’s different

My kids love this

Time to see how the yogurt turned out

Perfect consistency

Homemade yogurt ready!

Starting breakfast with a bit of yogurt

Rest of the yogurt goes in the fridge

Adding a little apple on top and some dry fruits

Boiled eggs and peanut butter on bread

My healthy breakfast is ready

Making some coffee

Starting the day with some morning cleaning

A clean space makes the mind feel calm ✨

During fall vacation, the kids really messed up the dining area.

It’s time for a deep clean

Lidl’s mop — perfect for quick cleaning

This area is all clean

Washed some clothes 🧺

Now putting them in the apartment drying room 🌿

Time to vacuum the living room

Today is a bit sunny and a bit cloudy 🌤️

Autumn vibes — leaves drifting down 🍁

Morning chores done early time to relax

A calm moment with green tea 🌿

Came to the store for a few small groceries

Found a nice sweater shirt for my little one

Grocery shopping done

This is another shop — I need some fresh coriander

Back home

Putting everything in its place

Baking a simple apple cake 🍎✨

In a bowl: 2 eggs , ½ cup sugar, and 1 shredded apple

Stirring until everything is combined

Pouring in half a cup of oil

Mix it well

add 1 cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and ½ cup milk

Blend the batter nicely

Oops! Forgot to grease the tray . Adding the batter to the baking tray

Adding apple slices on top

Sprinkling some vanilla sugar on top

Baking in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30 minutes

It’s baked perfectly

I’ll share the recipe in the description

Savoring it with coffee

A cozy moment: apple cake and coffee

Tonight’s dinner: pumpkin bread and chicken vegetable soup

Preparing the pumpkin — peel and shred

Making dough for pumpkin . Add 2 cups of flour, 7g yeast, and salt

Pouring in warm water to form the dough

Mix it until a soft dough forms

A little oil for soft, moist dough

Kneading the dough with my hands

Letting the dough rest until it rises

Add a little oil in the pan, 1 chopped onion 🧅

Cooking onions in a bit of oil until soft

Adding 1 tsp of garlic

When the onion is slightly transparent, add the shredded pumpkin 🎃

Add salt, ½ tsp crushed chili 🌶️, and 1 tsp coriander powder

Mix it well and cook on medium heat for 10–15 minutes

Pumpkin mixture is ready — set it aside

Here I’m frying chicken breast, cut into small pieces

Add 1 tbsp oil in the pan, then add chicken this is for the soup

I always fry the chicken separately for the soup

Following my mom’s special recipe 💕

Add ½ tsp black pepper powder and ½ tsp turmeric powder and salt

Fry it on medium heat, then add 1 tomato puree 🍅✨

Stir everything together and let it simmer for 10 mins

Chicken is ready, now we’ll add it to the soup later

Sautéing 1 chopped onion in 1 tbsp oil

Add ½ tsp turmeric powder and ½ tbsp crushed black pepper

Add a little water to soften the onions

Now, add 1 cup chopped carrots 🥕, ½ cup green bell pepper , ½ cup boiled chickpeas , and 1 potato cut into small pieces 🥔

Salt

Mix everything, then add 1 litre boiled water

Spaghetti goes into the soup for extra texture

Now, add the cooked chicken , mix, check salt 🧂, and cook on medium heat for 30 minutes 🍲

The dough has risen beautifully

Flatten the dough, add a little pumpkin mixture 🎃, fold and seal all edges

Frying gently in some oil

Golden and crispy on both sides

Mix 1 tbsp cornstarch in a little water and add it to the soup to thicken it

Here I’m preparing a fresh salad

Adding salad leaves, cucumber, tomato, carrot, feta cheese, chickpeas, and sweetcorn

Soup is cooked perfectly

My kids loved this homemade soup you should try it too!

Grateful for all your wonderful comments ❤️ They push me to make more videos!

Thanks for watching, see you in the next vlog 💕❤️💕❤️💕

Key Grammar Structures

• Pouring 2 litres of low fat milk into the pot

  ➔ Present Continuous Tense

  ➔ The sentence uses the present continuous tense to describe an ongoing action in the present. 'Pouring' shows what is happening right now, with auxiliary 'is' implied in 'Pouring'. The structure is subject + be + verb-ing + object.

• Adding 1 tbsp of yogurt as the starter

  ➔ Present Participle as Modifier

  ➔ The phrase 'Adding' acts as a present participle modifying the main clause, describing simultaneous actions. It functions like an adjective or adds context. The structure uses 'verb-ing + object + as + noun' for clarification.

• Starting the day with a walk

  ➔ Gerund as Object of Preposition

  ➔ 'Walk' is a gerund (noun form of verb) used after the preposition 'with'. 'Starting the day with a walk' means beginning the day by doing a walk, where the gerund acts as the object. This is common in expressions like 'begin with' + gerund.

• Homemade yogurt ready!

  ➔ Adjective Used Predicatively

  ➔ 'Ready' is an adjective used after a noun to describe its state, functioning as a predicate complement. In 'Homemade yogurt ready!', it implies 'is ready', with the verb 'is' omitted for brevity. The structure is noun + adjective for exclamation.

• Mix 1 tbsp cornstarch in a little water and add it to the soup to thicken it

  ➔ Infinitive of Purpose

  ➔ The infinitive 'to thicken' expresses the purpose of the actions 'mix' and 'add'. It answers 'why?' by explaining the goal. The structure is imperative + object + infinitive for intended result.

• The dough has risen beautifully
