WATCH: Rahul Gandhi’s Love For Food And Cooking Goes Viral!

Rahul Gandhi was on a tour in Tamil Nadu to campaign for the upcoming Assembly polls in the state. In a video that has gone viral Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi can be seen participating in a Tamil cooking show. The video of him cooking mushroom briyani with the hosts of the village cooking show has been winning the internet.

The first few minutes of the video show men slicing the ingredients in huge portion and emptying them in vessels. That’s when a casually dressed Rahul Gandhi wearing a blue Tshirt enters along with Karur Member of Parliament (MP) and Congress leader Jothimani. He greets them in Tamil.

As he asks if he can join and help them cook the raita for the briyani. He then goes ahead and starts cooking while he calls each of the ingredient by its Tamil names — Vengayam (onion), Thayiru (curd) and Kal uppu (crystal salt). He then shouts the name of the ingredient out loud for the viewers, in a manner very similar to the main chef in the video, and adds the ingredients to make raita for the biriyani. He then mixes it. He says that he does do quite a lot of cooking and enjoys it.

He also says that the team should also be cooking in other states. The team tells him that they have cooked in other states like Karnataka but dream of cooking abroad. Rahul Gandhi then tells them that he can arrange for them to cook at the US through a friend. The team then shares that they still can’t believe that Rahul Gandhi is with them and tells him that they want to organise a feast for their subscribers some day. “When you organise, I will come,” Rahul Gandhi says.

The Cooked mushroom biriyani is then served to him on a banana leaf, which he tastes and says ‘nalla iruku’ (It’s good) in Tamil. While leaving, he adds that he is happy to have been able to try their food. “It is excellent. Next time when I am coming, you have to make me try the termite (dish),” he adds. He also assures the team that he will put them in touch with his friend in the US.
