On the show, which was aired in the US on Friday, Kicha told DeGeneres how to make Puttu -- a traditional Kerala breakfast dish made with rice.

During the cooking.. Ellen and Raj had some really funny moments when Ellen was getting impatient while the kid went on to describe everything slowly and steadily. Ellen also kept looking at her watch maintaining the calm supporting the little one as much as she could.

At one point Kicha giggled when Ellen called his steaming vessel 'Putti Kutti' that was described exactly that by the boy himself.

Ellen even apologized in jest at the end of the show saying on screen "My apologies to the local news, we have gone long ..." and saying this she also had to cut his ongoing cooking class short and skipped to the dish straight. The boy exclaimed very smartly pointing at the plate Ellen was holding "we have to do that later!?". Ellen handles well and says "No, we have to use it now coz we are out of time..." The wise boy goes "Oh Yeah".
