US Family Embraces Indian Cuisine Sharing Kids Favourites, Sparks Viral Reactions

Indian food has garnered love from around the globe, celebrated for its diverse offerings, from comforting dal chawal to the rich flavors of kadhai paneer. Recently, American content creator Kristen Fischer, who has relocated to India, showcased her children’s favourite Indian dishes in a viral Instagram video.

In her post, Kristen reflected on the family’s culinary journey: “When we first came to India, my kids would not eat Indian food. But now, it is all they eat. They have learned to love the food of this country, and each of my kids has their own favourite dishes. There are many others they like; these are just their top favourites when I asked them. Not pictured here is my favourite, Chole Bhature, and my husband’s favourite, Masala Dosa.”

The video begins with Kristen feeding her daughter, Trinity, an aloo paratha accompanied by yogurt and salad. Next, her other daughter, Noelle, beams with delight as she enjoys a bowl of poha. The youngest, Sophia, is seen happily eating dal chawal, with some food amusingly smeared on her face.

The heartwarming video has garnered over 11 million views, attracting numerous comments from viewers. One user humorously noted, “Trinity – Punjabi, Noelle – Indori, Sophia – whole India,” while another remarked, “These kids are growing up to be world-proof.”

Additional comments highlighted the family’s adaptability, with one saying, “Somebody give them an Aadhar card,” and another praising the abundance of vegetarian options in Indian cuisine compared to other countries. A user gushed, “Awwww so sweet of them for not being picky eaters, and you’re a great mom.” Another commented, “It’s really amazing to see how you and your kids have adapted to the Indian lifestyle and food.”

Kristen’s video not only showcases her children’s culinary preferences but also illustrates the delightful integration of a family into the vibrant tapestry of Indian culture.
