A Twitter thread that is going viral lists some Indian dishes that have now become mainstream.
Indian cuisine knows no boundaries. From Vada Pav to Litti Choka, every state has its own specialty. The kind of cuisine that exists in India is hardly found anywhere else in the world. Indian cuisine is said to be one of the most unique and delicious. Now, a Twitter thread that is going viral lists some Indian dishes that have now become mainstream. A Twitter user who goes by the name ‘Gabbar’ wrote on the Blue Bird app, “The last dish invented in India that has become mainstream. A product market fit as they call it.”
With this he listed some dishes. Starting with Vada Pav, which was created for cotton mill workers in Mumbai in the 1960s. “A quick breakfast, lots of carbs, pao saves you from getting your fingers greased,” he wrote. In the 10th century, have we forgotten the art of creating blockbuster food items? I only see a mix of dishes.”
