Dal Served With '24-Carat Gold'? Viral Video Dishes Out Chef Ranveer Brar's Dubai Delicacy

Ever come across a dish that not only boasts a medley of spices but also flaunts gold? While the concept of gold-plated thalis and plates might ring a bell, imagine taking it a step further, not just dining ‘on’ gold but actually ingesting it. This extravagant twist materialises in the form of what some might dub as ‘opulent’ Daal, adorned with 24-carat gold dust, making waves across the internet courtesy of a now-viral video.

Shared on an Instagram food page, @streetfoodrecipe, the footage tantalisingly showcases the restaurant manager unveiling their esteemed ‘KashKan Daal’. This luxurious Daal KashKan is infused with 24k gold and meticulously prepared with premium spices and pure ghee. The footage depicts the gold-dusted Tadka served in a separate bowl alongside the Daal. During the serving ritual, presented in an ornate wooden box to amplify its exclusivity, the ‘Gold’ Tadka is ceremoniously poured onto the Daal in full view of the guests.

Take a Look:

“Each shimmering speck tells a story of fusion, inviting guests to indulge in a culinary dish that transcends borders and embraces the spirit of both India and Dubai,” explains Chef Ranveer Brar, the visionary behind not just the famed Daal but the entire KashKan restaurant in Dubai.“The idea was to amalgamate the richness of Indian cuisine [Daal] with the vibrancy of Dubai [Gold],” shares the celebrity chef with The National.

Allegedly, a bowl of this indulgent Daal KashKan comes with a price tag of Dh58, roughly translating to Rs. 1300.

Unsurprisingly, the unique recipe captured in the video ignited a frenzy on the internet, with playful banter surrounding the idea of dining on gold. “What’s the end result.. Gold nuggets!? Then it’s worth eating,” quipped one commenter. “So this dal was preserved in this ‘Sanduk’ for how many years ???” joked another.

Meanwhile, for those pondering the edibility of gold, rest assured that edible gold, when utilised as a garnish or decorative element, is deemed safe for consumption in small quantities. It passes through the digestive system without being absorbed, although consuming large quantities regularly might not be advisable due to the lack of comprehensive research on its long-term effects and its negligible nutritional benefits. As always, moderation is key.
