Japanese Scientists Create The World's Largest Lab-Grown Chicken Nugget
It would not be an exaggeration to say that science can make anything possible. Picture this: you are munching on crunchy chicken nuggets that, in reality, are not even made from chicken. Yes, it is possible. Researchers have made a breakthrough in the culinary sector, producing lab-grown meat by creating nugget-sized pieces of chicken. The scientific procedure used a device that mimics blood vessels in the human body, enabling the meat to grow. This method uses tiny hollow fibres to deliver nutrients and oxygen to chicken muscle cells in a gel-like substance.

The researchers believe this hollow fiber bioreactor could also be used to create whole chickens, pork, beef, and fish in the lab. They have also mentioned that the method might eventually produce functional human organs. Professor Derek Stewart at the James Hutton Institute in Dundee described the lab-grown meat as "a transformative step" and "a really elegant solution." He said, "They have created something of a size and scale that people are hardwired to eat: it is the chicken nugget model."

Without these components, muscle cells can die. Professor Shoji Takeuchi at the University of Tokyo found a solution to the problem by constructing a bioreactor with semi-permeable fibers. Professor Takeuchi explained, "One of the key challenges in growing thick tissue is that cells in the centre can struggle to receive enough oxygen and nutrients, which may lead to cell death. Our system helped address this by providing internal perfusion, allowing us to support the growth of thicker, more consistent tissue." At present, the hollow fibers are removed by hand once the meat grows. However, the researchers are planning to replace them with edible cellulose fibers that can remain in the meat and alter its texture.

Watch: Viral Video Of Dahi Tikhari Recipe Gets Over 48 Million Views, Internet Reacts
Food videos on the internet never fail to impress with their creativity. Whether it's a new cooking technique or a dish recipe, viral clips always manage to catch our attention in some way or another. Recently, we came across a video that introduced us to an underrated Indian delicacy - Dahi Tikhari. The clip begins with the food vlogger opening a packet of dahi in a mud pot, which he whisks using a wooden stick. Next, he places a kadhai over the heat and pours oil into it, followed by mustard seeds, cumin seeds, curry leaves, and onions. In a mortar and pestle, he pounds garlic cloves and red chillies. This results in a thick red paste, which he transfers to the kadhai. Then, he adds turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, and salt. He combines all the ingredients well and cooks the masala base for a bit longer. As the final step, he pours curds into the kadhai and mixes them with the prepared base. All ready, he relishes the dish with white rice and papad.

In the comments, many people applauded the cook for his skills and creativity. Check out some of the reactions below: A user wrote, "This curry gives you wings." Another added, "Those roasted onions give a different flavour." Someone shared advice for viewers: "Please note that the curd should be poured in once it's a little cool... and the curd shouldn't be poured into the hot pan." A person pointed out that it's not a new dish: "Um, excuse me, sir, not to offend you, but we South Indians have been eating this for generations." "I think it's kadhi," read a comment. "It's a kind of kadhi only," echoed another. Also Read:
