Comedian Vir Das Compares Ramen To Maggi, ‘Desi’ Twitter Can Relate

No matter how far away from the country we may travel, ‘desi’ flavours always remain close to our hearts. There are some dishes and preparations which we will always cherish as part of our food memories – whether it’s a classic Masala Chai or a comforting bowl of Maggi noodles. If someone gave us a choice between a bowl of Ramen and a bowl of instant noodles, the Indian foodie within us would always unabashedly choose the latter! Comedian Vir Das also turned out to be as desi as we are. In his recent tweet, he shared a picture of a bowl of Ramen with a hilarious and relatable caption. Take a look:
