Popular video: UK guy makes Poriyal, a delicacy from Tamil Nadu, and the internet adores it

Renowned British chef Jake Dryan has captured the attention of the world’s culinary community, particularly those who have a fondness for Indian food, with his charming demonstration of cultural fusion. In an engrossing Instagram video, Dryan presented his version of Green Bean Poriyal, a classic South Indian treat.

Dryan greets his viewers with a hearty “vanakkam” at the beginning of the film, laying the groundwork for an engrossing gastronomic adventure. Using his delicate hands, he carefully blends in a variety of ingredients that are often used in South Indian cuisine, such as aromatic curry leaves, sharp mustard seeds, and dal, which is necessary to balance the meal. But it’s Dryan’s use of shredded coconut at the end that makes the meal shine, giving it the unique tastes and textures characteristic of South Indian cooking.

In his explanation of the dish’s roots, Dryan tells his audience that Poriyal, a Tamil word, refers to a fried or sautéed vegetable preparation that is popular in Tamil Nadu and similar to Thoran in Kerala.

In addition to winning over his large fan following, Tamil Nadu locals have praised Dryan’s version of Green Bean Poriyal, praising the dish’s genuine characteristics.

With more than 1.8 million views, Dryan’s culinary endeavors have garnered him recognition internationally and demonstrate both his skill as a chef and his deep regard for authentic Indian food.

The question remains unanswered as the video keeps making the rounds on social media: Will you take Dryan’s recipe for Green Bean Poriyal and test it out?
