Indian food is popular all around the globe. From delectable snacks and curries to traditional Indian bread, desserts and more - there's an endless list of dishes to try out there.

Indian cooking requires a whole lot of ingredients and patience to cook. And it becomes all the more interesting when other foreign nationals try to adapt to the Indian-cooking style. Recently, a video of a man from the United Kingdom making authentic Rajasthani mirchi vada went viral on the internet.
