Korean family tries aloo puri: Internet can’t get enough of their reaction | Watch

Indian cuisine is renowned globally for its vibrant flavours, diverse ingredients, and rich cultural heritage. However, the world is more familiar with staples like butter chicken and samosas, while the lesser-known treasures still remain in the backseat. One such gem is aloo puri.

In a viral video, an Indian Instagrammer took it upon himself to introduce his South Korean family to the Sunday favourite breakfast of Indians. But what really captures the social media users is the reaction of the South Koreans discovering the scrumptious dish.

In the video, the Instagrammer “subtle_crazykorea”, enters with a plate full of puris, a bowl of dry aloo matar, and aloo curry. His curious sister-in-law does a little dance on seeing the food and asks what it's called.

Her attempt to pronounce the dishes' names also caught the netizens' attention. “Phoori, aa alooo matar,” she said.

“Poori booty shake that booty!!” she joked.

Eager to taste Indian meal, she said it “looks tasty.”

Holding a poori in her hand, she appeared momentarily puzzled as she asked, “How do I eat this?” After taking a bite of poori with the aloo, she smiles and calls the combination “good”.

The video ended with a heartwarming realisation of culture and its importance: the Instagrammer's sister-in-law, who relished five puris, requested kimchi and rice.
