When travelling abroad, many of us crave the comfort of Indian food after a point. As enticing and impressive as the foreign delicacies can be, there's something about desi flavours that provides unmatched satisfaction. After days of unfamiliar dishes, we tend to simply want beloved classics like poha, idli, dal rice, etc. Senior Congress Leader Shashi Tharoor also found himself seeking Indian cuisine during his trip to Austria recently. He took to X to share a foodie update and posted photos of himself enjoying a wholesome morning meal at an Indian restaurant in Vienna.
