As winter starts to subside, the sunlight shines bright on us. Along with the warmth of the sun come the whispers of the arrival of spring, giving hope to people that these cold nights will soon end. The season chomping on the fresh exotic fruits and gulping down fresh juices arrives.
Amid this season change, Chef Kunal Kapur recently shared a video of making pomegranate juice that went viral. The netizens were filled with awe as he showed a trick of cutting pomegranate and peeling the seeds easily.
I personally love pomegranate juice, it’s one of my favourite juices but I hate peeling pomegranate seeds. It irritates me to pluck those tiny little seeds one-by-one. But my mind was blown after watching the video shared by chef Kunal Kapur and I already ordered pomegranates. Following his recipe, I’ll make this juice after work and give that long desired bliss to my heart.
Here’s how step-by-step Kapur made the juice.
In the video, Chef Kapur freshly made the juice. But the main focus was the trick of cutting the pomegranate.
- He starts by cutting the crown of the fruit, then he showed natural lines that separate this fruit. He cut the fruit according to the lines, opened it and removed the arils from it.
- Very easily, he peeled the seeds and put them into a bowl of water so that the extra peels of the fruit float upwards.
- Removing them, he put the pomegranate seeds in the mixer grinder, juiced them up and strained the juice in the glass.
- Voila! The freshly squeezed juice is ready! I just can't wait to make this juice, it looks so tempting.
