The internet is full of videos of foreigners trying Indian food and reviewing it. We have seen many food enthusiasts having the famous butter chicken, naan, dal makhani and certain paneer sabzis, but we hardly get to see them trying out more regional dishes. Of course, these dishes might be more popular; however, when a foreigner tries our regional cuisine, it makes us curious to know about their experience and reaction. Recently, Mark Wiens, a YouTuber from Thailand, shared his experience of having authentic south Indian food. The YouTuber tried out 18 different dishes, which were served to him on a banana leaf. His reaction to these dishes has definitely caught the attention of many!
He uploaded a short reel of having south Indian food on his Instagram handle @migrationology. The video begins with a lady serving him mango pickle, aloo jeera, cabbage poriyal, avial, ponni rice, puri, dal, chana masala and more on his banana leaf.
