Professional chefs can turn almost anything into authentic and tasty dishes. A recent example of this comes to us from TikTok and a video posted by food blogger Danny Kim in which a chef turned a fast-food meal from Popeyes into three amazing Indian dishes.
Kim has a video series in which he approaches professional chefs and challenges them to make fast food gourmet. The most recent chef that took the challenge was K.N. Vinod, co-owner of award-winning Indian fast casual restaurant Indique.
Vinod was presented with a Popeyes meal that contained a portion of fried chicken, popcorn shrimp, rice, and apple pie. As soon as the chef saw the ingredients, he was confident in his success, telling Kim he’ll be blown away by the final outcome.
First, Vinod cut the popcorn shrimp into bits and combined them with onion, tomatoes, and a variety of spices. He then stuffed some papad cones, type of Indian deep-fried dough, with the upgraded popcorn shrimp and topped it all with fresh coconut.
For his second dish, Vinod took it a step further and turned the fried chicken and rice into chicken biryani. To enhance the “wow” effect, he even served it in a coconut shell.
Finally, the chef used the apple pie filling to make an amazingly-looking dessert that was paired with cocoa and chocolate drink. Check out the full video below.
