Padma Lakshmi Shares Hilarious Meme About Biryani, Desis Can Relate

There are some uncanny habits that all desi across the world can relate to. A keen sense of jugaad, for instance, is a common similarity among Indian people. Another would be the love for chai – we Indians just can’t do without a morning cuppa, complete with masalas and the works. Biryani is also one such Indian dish that has garnered a raging fan following among desis across the world. So, when Indian-origin television show host Padma Lakshmi took to Twitter to share a meme about Biryani – desi users could definitely relate. Take a look:
