Kitchens of India does it again!


When the bride could not cook
         To home Kitchens of India the prize took
             - Kitchens of India

A South Indian bride invites her North Indian in-laws home for lunch. They express delight but decide to pull a prank on her.

 She asks them in good earnest what they would prefer and they brazenly rattle off a list of North Indian delicacies with the added corollary that she makes them all or none at all.

 The bride bravely defers to their suggestion, sharing in confidence with her buddy that hello, she doesn’t, in fact, know to cook at all!

 She wonders if her friend could  be so kind as to tell her if she has even heard of these dishes? Where she comes from, it has always been Paneer Tikka Masala or Paneer Butter Masala...

The wiser of the two sagaciously advises her to either defer to her in-laws’ suggestion and admit that she is totally at sea in matters peculiar to the art of pleasing seasoned housewives or else take a stroll in the supermarket by her house?

Moved to tears and at wit’s end, the bride eventually takes herself to Spencer’s Daily, an upscale supermarket not quite knowing or caring why it was suggested or even why she was there in the first place. Idly strolling by the brands she chances upon ready-to-eat packets of ITC Kitchens of India...

And then...

What’s this? All the dishes her in-laws had asked...?!

What happens next is an expression of utter delight and relief and is the subject of much amusement in YouTube where it all has been recorded and uploaded.

Her day is saved yet again by ITC as she serves her in-laws their favourite food. 

Her in-laws commend her on her remarkable talents, knowing full well that she didn’t really ‘make’ it and innocently remark that she should try ITC Kitchens of India. They gift her a hamper or two, “just to try”, adding, surprisingly it tastes just like hers.

Well, what would you know! 

As they say, “All’s well that ends well.”
