Elon Musk’s take on Indian cuisine breaks the internet; It is the most diverse in the world, says Ranvir Shorey

Indian food in all its avatars in the east, west, north, south, and bang in the centre, makes the world go round. While one might argue about the calorie count on some of the tastiest desi dishes (that may not even have an Indian origin to begin with), its dominance over the human palate is undeniably indelible. It’s spicy. It is fragrant. it’s tasty. It is incredibly wonderful for all your senses. Even the second richest billionaire in the world, Elon Musk, boss of Twitter, Tesla and SpaceX, cannot deny the supremacy of desi cuisine.

The Indian food you grew up with in South Africa is probably not good enough for my mother (non-vegetarian) or my mother-in-law (vegetarian) to cook in a jiffy.
And I can testify that they look more cute than annoying madmen!
You are welcome to dine if you wish.

Not to brag, but Indian cuisine is one of the most diverse and developed in the world.

Lamb Vindaloo… Nuclear Hot… Garlic/Butter Naan… Papadum with Mango Chutney.

Crisp hard cider or lager to wash it down.

Perfection.
