It’s often said that you can take a person out of India, but you can’t take India out of a person. This sentiment rings true, especially, when it comes to food preferences. The rich flavours of tadka and the enticing aroma of spices hold a special place in the hearts of desi food enthusiasts. Even when we go abroad, we find ourselves longing for our Indian comfort foods. Recently, a video showing a German woman preparing a tiffin meal for her Indian husband has gone viral. According to her, he insists on having “only Indian dishes for his lunch.” And she doesn’t seem to mind cooking them for him.

In the Instagram reel, the woman makes a preparation of kala chana (brown chickpeas) along with rotis (flatbreads). She starts by placing chickpeas and water into a pressure cooker and adds a pinch of salt before sealing the lid. Next, she blends onions, ginger, and garlic together and keeps some chopped green chillies ready. In a separate pan, she heats some oil and adds cumin seeds, ginger-garlic paste, the blended onion mixture, turmeric, and various spices. She also mixes in tomato puree, chopped green chillies, and a spoonful of salt. She the transfers this mixture into the pressure cooker with the boiled chickpeas. Using a ladle, she combines the ingredients to create a yummy-looking curry. After that, she makes rotis. In the end, she packs the chickpea curry in a traditional Indian steel tiffin box and wraps the rotis in silver foil. 

The caption of the video reads, “My husband is from Amritsar, India. And thanks to him, I learned to cook Indian food. Some would see it as a burden to have to cook food from a foreign culture. For me it has become my passion!”, along with a heart emoji. Take a look at the video below:
