Australian Influencer Says Indians Use 'Dirt Spices' in Food, Faces Backlash

Viral News: Indian cuisine, renowned globally for its rich spices and flavor, has found itself at the center of controversy after an Australian influencer criticized its use of spices.

The incident began when an X user posted a picture of various Indian dishes, from rice to paneer, captioned "Indian food is the best on earth. Fight me." The influencer responded, "It really, really isn't."

She further stated, "If your food requires you to put dirt spices all over it for it to be palatable, your food is not good." Her remarks quickly went viral, sparking widespread criticism.

The post has garnered over 9.2 million views, with many defending Indian cuisine. One user retorted, "If you have to season food for it to taste good, then you don't have good food. Just say you've never cooked before."

Others joined in, saying, "The audacity is extraordinarily high with this one." A third user sarcastically remarked, "This coming from the country that brought us delicacies like 'pineapple beetroot hamburger' and 'vegemite on toast'."

Another user wrote, "It's okay to like bland food without projecting." A fourth user chimed in, emphasizing the diversity of Indian cuisine.
