One of her roommates, an older man, was filmed trying puri bhaji for the first time and had an instantly enthusiastic reaction. 'I am moving to India,' he declared after taking his first bite, prompting laughter from Pansuriya and another roommate at the table.
When she offered him dessert, he asked her to give him a moment to savour the first dish. 'Oh god! Wow. This is amazing. You're wasted in public policy. You should be a chef,' he joked, referencing her career in the US government sector.

Another joked, 'He came to know the real reason why India was colonised.'
A third added, 'The flavours of authentic grounded Indian cuisine is just an experience that touches the soul. Moreover, when the food is made with a special ingredient of love, care and dedication, the flavours become sublime.'
