Chapter 74: Flavors of India
"India's economy is not very developed, and not everywhere there is surveillance video. The policeman explained apologetically.
Ruan Ruan had no choice but to follow Xiao Yunting out of the police station.
"That recipe was written by my grandmother herself, and many of the dishes in it were created by her, and it took countless experiments to make a successful ......" Ruan Ruan's voice was a little choked, and the whole person hung his shoulders in frustration.
It was the first time Xiao Yunting had heard Ruan Ruan talk about his family, and seeing him so depressed, she also knew that this cookbook was probably a priceless thing for her.
"Don't worry, I'll help you get the recipe back, I promise. Xiao Yunting held Ruan Ruan's shoulders and promised her seriously.
Perhaps Xiao Yunting's expression was too serious, Ruan Ruan finally pulled out a reluctant smile, and nodded in response to Xiao Yunting.
"We haven't started a live broadcast in India yet, so let's go shopping in the snack street tonight and broadcast it live to our fans by the way. Ruan Ruan patted his backpack, "Fortunately, the wallet has been recovered, and I can also treat you to something good." ”
The two laughed and walked to the snack street during the day, and in the evening, there seemed to be more trolley stalls on the snack street.
Indians are especially fond of curry, and almost every trolley has a pot of boiled and fragrant curry as an ingredient.
"Good evening, fans, I'm in India now, you didn't expect it, I came to a snack street with Mr. Xiao, and now I'm going to show you Indian snacks!" Ruan Ruan opened the live broadcast software and aimed the camera at the snacks on the street.
[Friday Cloudless: It turns out that you have arrived in the curry country, Mr. Xiao must take care of Xiao Soft!]
[Chicken legs: Curry is everywhere, and Xiao Soft can be regarded as able to learn authentic curry!]
Ruan Ruan responded to the words in the barrage, and her eyes couldn't stop glancing at those food stalls.
"I don't know which one to eat first, how about we try the naman cake?" As they spoke, they had already walked to a shop that sold cakes, and the legendary Indian cakes were not as magical as those deliberately filmed in the video.
A little brother with a hat is kneading the dough by hand, and every time he kneades it, he will sprinkle a handful of sesame seeds and continue to mix the dough, and finally symbolically take it to his hand and rotate it slightly, put it on the edge of the pot and start baking.
After a while, the cake was baked, and it seemed that the steps were no different from the Chinese pot helmet, but the strange thing was that the cake was layered, and the bite only felt that the sesame seeds were fragrant.
Ruan Ruan tore off a piece and put it in front of the camera, and took this small piece and dipped it in a little yellow curry, which looked even more delicious.
Indian curry is much more pure than domestic curry, and just looking at the beige color, it looks fresher than domestic curry cubes.
Yellow potatoes are paired with orange-red carrots and a little bit of Indian spices, and the curry soup naturally has a sticky texture.
The Indian flying cake naturally hangs the curry sauce, and when it is put into the mouth, it only feels exotic, even if it is standing on the street, Ruan Ruan seems to have appreciated all the beauty of India at once.
"The taste is really good, any curry here is delicious, and everyone can try it if they have the chance. Ruan Ruan licked his fingers with reluctance, and then set his eyes on the next place.
Handicrafts are cheaper than machinery in India, and the stalls are usually done by hand.
Ruan Soft and Xiao Yunting turned around, and came to a water bar again, and Ruan Soft was attracted by a small Xiaoice stick sold here.
There is no ice crusher, so the ice cube is manually held and vigorously rubbed into pieces on a sharp blade, and then compressed into a small cup, inserted into a wooden stick, and finally poured jam, and a small popsicle is ready.
Ruan Soft felt that it was very novel, so he bought one, and the crushed ice was unevenly pressed, and it was precisely because of this that this already simple Xiaoice stick looked even more cute.
After walking around for such a while, Ruan Ruan Ruan can be regarded as having a new understanding of Indian flavor.
"Our steamed fish only has one way to mix steamed fish soy sauce, if the sauce is not good enough, it will still affect the umami of the fish, Mr. Xiao thought of a new method!" Ruan Ruan soft blinked his eyes, and there was already a prototype in his mind.
Not long after entering the kitchen, Xiao Yunting smelled a smell of fish, accompanied by a smell of curry.
The taste of this curry was a little stronger than what he had just smelled on the snack street, and it also aroused Xiao Yunting's appetite even more.
Ruan Ruan came out with two plates, one with the salted fish that had been prepared, and the other with the cooked curry.
"Would you like to try to eat steamed fish with curry?" Ruan said excitedly.
Xiao Yunting sandwiched a chopstick fish, the tender white fish was steamed just right, and a little curry was dipped in, and the effect was more fresh than the steamed fish soy sauce.
Almost not long after, Xiao Yunting ate all the fish on a plate.
"Your idea is very successful and innovative, combining both Indian and Chinese freshness. Xiao Yunting touched Ruan Ruan's head and happily agreed.
Seeing that his response here was so good, during the live broadcast on the second day, Ruan Ruan also began to teach everyone this dish in the live broadcast.
"Everyone knows how to steam fish, as long as the knife is beaten and the heat is mastered, there is basically no big problem, and today I will teach how to make an Indian-style curry. Ruan Ruan put on an apron and smiled at everyone, then opened the pot.
The only secret to choosing the best potatoes, cutting them into small pieces and mixing them with carrots is not to add any curry products, just rely on low heat to simmer, and add some condiments to taste.
Ruan Ruan was stirring the contents of the pot, and at the same time zoomed in on the camera to let everyone see the thicker and thicker soup in the pot.
At the same time, Xiao Yunting contacted a friend and prepared to start searching for the whereabouts of Ruan Ruan's recipe.
"You can help me see if I can find the suspicious vehicle near Durland Street from about 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. yesterday. Xiao Yunting used his computer to transfer the photo of the thief and the photo of Ruan's soft backpack to him while making a phone call.
"The police cameras didn't catch anything, but I'm sure there was always a dashcam that could record something like that. Xiao Yunting said affirmatively.
The person on the other end of the phone also agreed cheerfully, and after a crackling sound, there was a quick response.
"Found it, Mr. Xiao, is the woman you are looking for wearing a headscarf?"
