An entertaining food vs.r has started on Twitter with a tweet from a UK-based educationist calling an Indian educational diet “boring”.

Idli is a boiled rice cake that is usually eaten with lentil-based vegetable sambar. It is regarded as a gut friendly friendly snack and a comfortable food, popular among South Indians, living in India and abroad. Food writer Veer Sanghvi calls it India and possibly, the most famous South Indian dish in the world.
Senator Kamala Harris, a senior Democratic vice presidential candidate – who has an Indian-origin mother and a Jamaican-born father – is fondly reminded that her mother was eager to “love good Idli” during the holidays in the South Indian city. Chennai (formerly Madras).
Reaching out to Indian American voters, Senator Harris is not the only politician to drown voters in idli talk.
In the southern state of Salem in Tamil Nadu, India’s ruling BJP politicians are serving a cheap “Modi Idli” – named after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the epidemic. The move is seen as an open challenge to the state’s local ruling AIADMK party, which provides “Amma Idlis” – the late Chief Minister J, known by his supporters as Amma or Mata.
Dr. And who studied at Northumbria University in Newcastle. Anderson posted his opinion in response to a question from the Indian Food Delivery Service that what a dish people are asked is “you never understand why people like it so much”.
Dr. Anderson found that his tweet is very exciting for Idli lovers, especially South Indians, who explode on Twitter.
Writer and columnist Ishan Tharoor was the most critical.
His father, Shashi Tharoor, a senior Indian MP and well-known author, quickly joined, and suggested a better way to take Idli.
Others were disappointed that the next attack on their favorite comfort food ruined them.
D And. Anderson didn’t raise a voice behind him. He said he ordered an idli plate for lunch and his opinion has not changed since he ate it.
Dr Anderson told the BBC: “There are many Idlis in his life, mainly in India – I have spent a lot of time there for many years and my wife is from Kerala. Idlis is regularly seen at breakfast with in-laws.”
Angry Idli lovers on Twitter with an array of delicious sides, Dr. Anderson tried to school on the right way to have breakfast at Idlis. They suggested burning hot idli from a banana leaf, burning radish, dry spices with lentils and chilli spices, fresh coconut sauce and boiling sambar.
Not for Dr. Anderson: “I agree that this is great with સાથે It’s not just Idli’s best vehicle for him! Dosa and Vada and Appam are better than this!”
Dosa, Vada and Apam are popular fermented and boiled South Indian snacks that are also served with sambar, mulagapodi and a variety of sauces.
Dr. Anderson said the discussion on Idli proves that “food speaks to people’s identities, their regional pride and how it resonates with everyone on an emotional level”.
“A lot of the answers, despite agreeing or disagreeing with me, refer to the increase in eating idli in their family homes and local eateries. Many have responded, they are also foreign Indians or members of the diaspora – for many of them There is an inseparable connection, ”he said.
D And. As far as “interesting answers, some have been brilliant,” Anderson said.
“A few people have taken things very seriously, but 99% of people’s responses have been very funny.”
“And a lot of people have made a fairly valid point that it’s a bit rich for the British to criticize Indian food for being stupid!”
