Jake Dryan, a chef from the UK popular for his Indian dishes, recently amazed his fans with a fresh culinary innovation.
He shared a video on Instagram on Wednesday featuring a Maharashtra-inspired meal he cooked for his girlfriend’s roommate.
Jack is gaining popularity on social media and has won over the hearts of Indians nationwide with his amazing Maharashtrian culinary abilities! His viral video is being talked about by people all the way from Mumbai to Delhi and they are asking to ‘Grant him honorary Citizenship of India!’
The video shared by Jake begins with him getting ready to make thecha, a well-known spicy dip in Maharashtra. In a pan, he warms up oil and includes cumin seeds, garlic cloves, green chillies, and peanuts. Once finished cooking, he mixes all the ingredients together to create a paste.
Following that, Jake prepares a batata vada. He removes the skin, slices, and cooks potatoes in water. After that, he proceeds to prepare garlic and green chilies, along with turmeric, curry leaves, and boiled potato pieces. He crushes and prepares it before moving it into a bowl. After shaping the potato mixture into balls, he coats them in a chickpea batter and fries them in hot oil.
After that, Jake cuts up green beans in order to make a sabzi. After sautéing onion and spices, he blends them with chopped beans to make tadka. Next, he cooks red masoor dal by boiling it. In a separate skillet, he warms up clarified butter and includes minced garlic and a red chili, then adds diced tomatoes. He combines it with the cooked lentils. He fries cumin and red chilli powder in hot oil individually before adding the tadka to the dal. Finally, he also gets ready besan chillas and a salad.
If the video makes you crave food, you’re not alone. A lot of people in the comments express the same feeling. A fan commented, “Bro I am from India and I can testify you know what you are doing. All the food items just look perfect”.
