Love Caviar? This Easy Peasy Recipe Using Pomegranate Is For You

Caviar is a luxurious food item, traditionally made from fish eggs, for which people shell out high prices for its unique salty and creamy flavour. However, some fine dining restaurants have introduced fruit caviar for those who can’t enjoy the taste of seafood items. Similarly, one chef has captured the internet’s attention with his innovation, as he prepared Caviar using pomegranate. In a viral video shared by the young chef, viewers are taken through a delightful process of making this fruity version of Caviar. Beginning with cutting the fruit and extracting the juice out of the pomegranate seeds into water, followed by removal of any extra particles. The chef then adds lemon and sugar for enhanced flavour. He uses alginate in the liquid, while a separate calcium solution is prepared and it is set aside to rest.

The chef proceeds by using a syringe to carefully drop tiny droplets of the pomegranate liquid into the calcium solution. He suggests testing a small batch first and making sure the droplets don’t contain any calcium or it might dissolve. Once the proportions are accurate, the small red balls are separated and rinsed with water.

Sharing the video on Instagram, the chef wrote, “ANAAR CAVIAR. MODERNIST CUISINE: Street Food to Fine Dine. Fruit caviars are pretty common in fine dine and making them is also fairly easy once you get a hold of it. The real challenge is to source the right ingredients and also the proportions. You have to be correct here otherwise everything just falls apart before your eyes. I especially loved this one due to the pop that it had. If you are into boba give this a try. These are way better than those chewy boba pearls (for me).”

Reacting to the clip, a user wrote, “Bro can turn the most normal street dish to 5 star restaurant meal.” Another shared, “Bro should be a chemistry teacher.”

An individual joked, “Abbe itni mehenat kon kare, Sabudana kha lo. (Who does so much hard work, just eat some sabudana).” “I am so invested (haven’t cooked anything IDK what I’m doing here),” a comment read.

Another wrote, “Bro made it so smoothly that even Michelin star chefs are shaking.”

A person shared, “How to make a healthy food to a super junk.”

One more added, “Vegan happiness.”

Since the chef shared the step-by-step process of making Anaar Caviar, it has gone viral and garnered over 92 lakh views.
