What is dark cuisine
Dishes that do not follow conventional methods are dark cuisine.
Chefs often add some unexpected and magical things to meals, or weird combinations that make people's blood boil, such as stir-fried strawberries with bananas, stir-fried whole cucumbers with whole oranges, stir-fried whole tomatoes with whole eggs, etc. There are a few chicken heads popping out of the braised pork, etc. These are all dark dishes, because it is impossible for normal people to do this.
At this time, in the eyes of many people, the watermelon chicken cooked by Kumar is a pure dark dish. The chicken is perfectly processed. The key is that the auxiliary materials and seasonings used with the chicken are so good.
If nothing else, let’s talk about braised chicken with red tomatoes. How many Chinese people know how to stew chicken with tomatoes? If it doesn't work well, how delicious is the chicken soup it stews
Anyway, from my point of view on behalf of Ye Fei, absolutely - no, good, drink! (Not what I said)
It tastes really good.
But that's what Kumar did.
In fact, many people really thought that this product should use tomatoes as auxiliary ingredients, because the most popular vegetables in India are tomatoes, potatoes, onions and peppers. They can be paired with anything. Don’t you agree
Put the chicken into the lotus leaves, sprinkle with bay leaves on top, wrap the lotus leaves, then cover the other half of the watermelon, and then glue it together with a long strip made of flour.
Seeing that Kumar had glued the watermelon, Shiren hurriedly said: "Would you like to use a stew pot?"
Although Shiren understands some Indian language, he has never been to India. In his impression, Ye Fei's method is authentic. Put the watermelon in a steamer to steam it, and take the chicken when it is cooked. Eat out.
But Kumar shook his head and said, "As I said just now, this delicacy does not require a pot."
"Damn it, how can you do this if you don't use a pot? Brother."
The 100,000 "I don't understand" flooded into the wet man's heart again, and he looked at it curiously.
Kumar stood up, looked around without washing his hands, strode over and moved three big stones, then formed them into a concave shape, and directly put the big watermelon into the groove. As soon as he released it, he clapped his hands and said, "Just do it."
Wet Man: "."
This guy sat down on the ground. Damn, this is the first time in my life that I have seen such a magical watermelon pot. How about setting it on fire? Is the watermelon so soft when it burns that it won't fall off
Getting up from the ground, Shiren circled the watermelon pot twice and said, "Are you sure this thing can be used?"
"Of course it can be used. We Indians all use it this way."
"You Indians are really gods. You can come up with such top-notch methods."
Ye Fei also watched happily. He was also very curious. He wanted to see how the watermelon pot was cooked.
Kumar put the watermelon pot away, ran to the grass and picked up a lot of dry branches and hay, ran back, borrowed a fire from Ye Fei, lit a handful of soft grass, placed it under the watermelon, and put the dry tree on fire. The seeds were placed on the hay, and then the fire was put out.
Specifically, the fire was not extinguished, but was so suppressed by dry firewood that no flames could be seen, and only thick smoke continued to come out.
Ye Fei and Shiren ran away, Damn, they choked someone to death.
Rhodes didn't move forward at all, but not only that, when he saw the thick smoke coming out, he took a few steps back, leaving Kumar alone with his butt sticking out and blowing on the soft grass.
The audience in the live broadcast room looked bigger than the last one. Damn, this is really the first time I have seen such a superb chef. Are you sure you are the most skilled cook in India? Why can’t the God of Cooking even make a fire? It's all smoke.
For a long time, Kumar really blew the fire, and the flames burned the dry wood, making a crackling sound, and then the orange-red flames licked the watermelon pot. After a while, the entire watermelon turned black. Well, that's right. The watermelon was blackened.
People really didn’t know what to say, and everyone burst out laughing.
"It's an eye-opener. This Indian chef god really opened my eyes today. This is so amazing."
"Just dry it like this? Hey, aren't you afraid that this watermelon will be burned? Will it shrink? If it is soft and falls, your fire will still be extinguished."
"Emma, your stomach hurts from laughing so hard. The Indians are such a god-like nation. I'm on my knees."
"I originally planned to travel to India next month, but now I have decided to cancel the plan. I think I will starve to death there."
"Is this Kumar here to play tricks?"
"Let me ask you, if I don't tell you now that there is a watermelon on the fire, how can any of you tell that it is a watermelon?"
"That's not a watermelon, that's a black egg."
"."
The fire was still burning brightly, and Kumar stared at the "black egg" on the fire seriously. He was probably afraid that it would burn and be thrown into the fire.
Shiren ran over while avoiding the smoke, squatted next to Kumar, and said, "Are you sure this can cook the chicken inside?"
Kumar nodded seriously and said, "OK."
"What are you doing on top? There's no heat on top, and the chicken inside is heated unevenly. Don't make it cooked on the bottom and uncooked on the top." Shiren pointed at the upper part of the "Black Egg" and reminded.
Kumar rolled his eyes at the wet man, grabbed a handful of hay from beside him, lit it with fire, and then covered it all over the watermelon. Then he said, "Isn't it evenly heated now?"
Wet Man: "."
This guy is sitting on the ground again.
He felt that he was already a ridiculous master, but now he realized that compared with Kumar, he was at best a thunder god, and this girl was the real God of Thunder. She was so good at playing.
The watermelon was already very black due to smoke, but now it is even darker with soft grass on top.
Ye Fei and Rhodes were standing not far away. They both looked at it as if it was something new, but Rhodes' hand never took away from his mouth.
After a long time, Kumar poked the watermelon with a small stick. When he saw that the skin of the watermelon was soft, he put out the fire underneath.
"Are you ready?" Shiren asked curiously.
"That's it."
"Open it quickly and take a look."
"Don't worry."
"Can I not be in a hurry? I want to see how your dark cuisine is?"
"What?"
"No, I want to see how your onion-stewed chicken is doing."
Shiren was so anxious that he told the truth.
Ye Fei and Rhodes also came over, squatting next to them and watching.
Kumar used a stick to pull out the watermelon, and then washed away the black ash on the outside with water. He saw that the ring of flour had been burned to a yellowish color and was hard.
Kumar removes the noodles and removes the watermelon half from the top.
Suddenly, a burst of white smoke emerged from the watermelon, and with the appearance of the white smoke, a very special aroma rushed out.
He didn't have any skills for this delicious food, so the only ones who could smell the aroma were Ye Fei and the others at the scene.
Not to mention, the smell does smell quite attractive, or more precisely, it gives people a "refreshing" feeling. Even Rhodes became interested.
Kumar placed half of the watermelon on the ground, then opened the lotus leaf, and the aroma suddenly became stronger. Several people hurriedly stretched their heads to look inside the watermelon, and saw that there was something interesting in the watermelon. The chicken was steamed tender and tender, and there were The color of the soy sauce is slightly yellow, and the outside of the chicken pieces is covered with tomato juice. More importantly, there is a strong aroma of scallion oil inside.
"Damn it, don't tell me, it's kind of interesting." Wet Man licked his lips and said.
Rhodes couldn't help but said: "It tastes really good."
Ye Fei just smiled.
Kumar asked Shiren to wash the big plate, then carefully took out the lotus leaf from the watermelon, and then carefully poured all the contents of the lotus leaf onto the plate.
It was only then that everyone was able to see the true face of this so-called Indian delicacy, but everyone was a little dumbfounded.
Judging from Kumar's operation just now, this delicacy would be absolutely terrible to look at, but now the situation that everyone expected did not happen.
The chicken on the plate looks attractive in color, especially when paired with green pepper shreds and purple-white onion shreds. Finally, tomatoes that have turned into juice are applied to the chicken, and are garnished with green bay leaves. , this delicacy does not look bad at least from the outside, on the contrary, it is a bit tempting.
Kumar picked up the plate and stretched it toward the computer like Ye Fei did. He didn't know if the camera could take a clear picture, but he still said: "Dear friends, the Indian watermelon chicken is ready."
The audience in the live broadcast room was a little commotion. Specifically, some people started to covet this delicacy.
Although what Kumar cooked cannot be compared with what Ye Fei cooked, at least this dish still looked a bit appetizing. However, this appetite just appeared, but then disappeared immediately, because these people thought of Kumar. The scene where Mal was scratching around with his hands before, or rather they thought of those flies.
If these are ignored, this is definitely a passable delicacy.
"How does it taste?" Kumar took the food back and looked at Ye Fei and the others and said with a smile.
Shit and Rhodes were in a dilemma. They wanted to eat, but they didn't dare to eat. Especially Rhodes, who was still feeling uneasy just now. When he thought about a few flies, he had no appetite at all. It was gone, but the aroma of the delicious food was still entering his nostrils, leaving him in a dilemma.
Ye Fei is not that particular at all, and even if he is very particular, he still wants to eat it now, because it is a delicacy made by his guest, and everyone can dislike it, but not him.
Without using chopsticks, Ye Fei reached out and pinched a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth.
Not to mention, this chicken tastes better than it smells when you eat it. The chicken is tender and juicy. When you eat it, you can smell the aroma of chicken, the sweet and sour taste of tomatoes, the aroma of scallion oil, and green chili. It's not very spicy, but it's clever.
Especially after adding bay leaves, the taste of the whole dish is even more rich and fragrant. Although it is still far from the ordinary one made by myself, it is very interesting.
Ye Fei had a smile on his face, nodded towards Kumar, and said, "Mr. Kumar, you have learned a lesson."
Some friends asked why not write about Indian watermelon chicken as rubbish? It really highlights the power of Ye Fei. We must be realistic about this. India really has this delicacy, and it tastes really good. It is one of the few good things. In addition, tomato stewed chicken can still be made.
