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!

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.

" Woh, Main Aur Kaanda Poha": Content Creator Crosses Border For Curry Leaves, Video Goes Viral
Can a poha dish truly be complete without curry leaves? We think not. And neither did this content creator couple, who quite literally crossed borders to secure the fragrant greens needed to elevate their kanda poha recipe. In a now-viral video shared on Instagram by Ved Campbell Maddison, we see just how far one might go in the name of good poha. The clip opens with his girlfriend expressing her craving, "Mujhe kaanda poha chahiye (I want onion poha)," before adding, "I need curry patta (leaves)." And like any committed partner on a culinary mission, Ved springs into action in no time. Known for his quirky humour and expressive storytelling, Maddison is seen exiting his home, declaring his intent to return with the 'prized' ingredient. What follows is no quick trip to the grocer. Ved boards an overnight flight, navigates the chaos of a Mumbai local train while yawning dramatically, chats with co-passengers, and even helps carry their luggage, all before proudly securing a fresh packet of curry leaves from a local market. Mission accomplished, he boards yet another flight home, triumphantly bearing his fragrant cargo. Back in the kitchen, the cooking begins. As his girlfriend rinses the poha, Ved refers to it as "poha flakes" with a grin. He then chops onions and green chillies, heats oil in a pan, and adds peanuts. Once they are roasted, she sets them aside, making way for mustard seeds, jeera powder, chopped vegetables, and, of course, the curry leaves to sizzle in the same pan. In classic Ved fashion, he dubs the turmeric addition a "Haldi party" and lets the mixture cook with the lid closed. The couple's joy is infectious-and judging by their expressions, the end result is nothing short of delicious. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ved campbell maddison (@vedmaddison) The video, captioned "Kaanda Poha Princess Part One," has racked up over 1.9 million views.

Another person mentioned, 'Bro if you need a plant, let me know.' 'This is the dream guys! woh main aur kaanda poha!' said someone on the internet. Yet another social media user commented, 'Kadi patta lene ke liye videsh se mumbai gaya,' followed by a crying emoji showing his/her appreciation for the foodie content creator. We are super impressed by the content creator's experience of making poha. Aren't you?
