There is a distinct similarity between Korean and Indian food. Can you guess? Well, it is their fondness for sprinkling spice on every item. But what if Koreans tried pure, authentic Indian food? A viral Instagram video gives us a delightful glimpse into this culinary exchange. In the video, an Indian man introduced his Korean sister-in-law to pooris and aloo-matar sabzi. As he brought a plate full of fluffy, golden-brown pooris to the table, his sister-in-law looked intrigued and asked, “What is this?” The man responded with “Poori.” The woman did a little happy dance and exclaimed, “Looks tasty!”

Alongside the pooris, the table also had aloo-matar sabzi, a classic Indian dish made with potatoes and green peas. As she prepared to dive in, she hesitantly asked, “How do I eat this?” The man explained the art of enjoying pooris – instructing her to break off a piece and scoop up some sabzi. “It’s good, good!” she exclaimed after taking a bite. The video took a turn when the man shared that they ate five pooris before switching to the Korean staple of kimchi and rice. The caption read, “My Korean family on Indian food.”
