This famous British social media celebrity flew to India for just one ingredient!
Some go the extra mile for love. This one flew across continents just to get curry leaves. British content creator Ved Campbell Maddison, known for speaking fluent Hindi, using Mumbai-style humour, and telling stories in his quirky way, has gone viral once again with his latest video. It begins with a small food craving from his partner: 'Mujhe kaanda poha chahiye.' But there's one condition: she wants it made with fresh curry leaves. While most people would make do with dried ones or leave them out, this couple had other plans and took the craving to a whole new level. In true cinematic style, he sets off on what turns into a full-blown curry leaf mission. From boarding an overnight flight to tackling Mumbai's bustling local trains, Ved documents every step of his adventure with trademark quirkiness. At one point, he is yawning dramatically in a crowded train. At another, he is helping co-passengers with luggage while tracking down the elusive patta. Eventually, he secures the prize from a local Indian market and hops back on a flight, leaves in hand and mission complete. Back in the kitchen, the scene is nothing short of delightful. His girlfriend rinses the poha while Ved cheerfully calls them 'poha flakes.' He roasts peanuts, adds mustard seeds, jeera powder, chillies, and finally the freshly flown curry leaves. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 새로 나온 '암보험' 최적가 가입인기!

The couple cooks together, laughs, and digs into a dish that's now much more than just breakfast. It's a love story, told through food. The internet is, understandably, obsessed. The video has racked up millions of views, with users praising Ved for turning something as ordinary as grocery shopping into a full-on rom-com. From 'Kanda Poha Princess' to 'national pati goals,' fans can't get enough. At its heart, this viral moment isn't just about poha or curry leaves. It's about effort, humour, and finding joy in the little things, like making sure your partner gets the exact version of comfort food she craved. And let's be honest, poha with curry leaves really does taste better. In a world full of shortcuts, Ved's journey reminds us that sometimes the smallest ingredients can mean the most, especially when they come wrapped in intention, laughter, and a touch of madness.
