We scoured the Instagram universe and found 10 food Instagram accounts across India guaranteed to make your stomach rumble (besides ours, of course! Follow @ndtvfood).Why we love Instagram? It’s simple. Instagram is a platform for amateurs as well as pros who capture food differently, and make you ridiculously hungry. Admit it: You’re 100% guilty of clicking your Sunday brunch this weekend, swiping from one filter to the next, solely for the purpose of Instagram. Truth be told - you’re not the only one. Instagram makes a food photographer out of everyone! Apparently, over 150 million images have been hash tagged ‘food’ on the social platform all thanks to the explosion of mobile photography over the past few years. After all, food is one domain that deserves its own glory. Being a universally shared interest, it encourages individuals across all age groups to share their passion for all things yummy and connect with fellow food lovers, creating a massive community altogether. A community that is redefining and revolutionising the love for food, making it even more appetizing through the power of the lens. We now function in the order of click > post > eat. And when we’re not sharing cooking tips from the NDTV headquarters, we’re checking out our favorite food accounts.
