"The leftover food tastes 10 times better than it does the night before istg nobody can fight me on this. Are you even desi / brown, if you don't fry your naan. YUMMM (I'm gonna go have this again) why did I water the naan: if you add water to any stale bread and toast it, it will become soft and just like newww again. I used filtered water btw (drinkable paani), pls use filtered water. Not tap water. Also someone said 'gopi bahu of rotis' that's so funny I can't," the user said in the caption.
Ever since the post has been shared, it has crossed over eight lakh likes and 32 million views.
"People complaining about washing the naan will never know the TRUE culture," said one of the users.
"Everyone in Germany also wets their bread rolls before putting them in the oven to revive them. So the naan thing was normal. Looks delish!" remarked another person.
A third person stated, "That refried naan slaps EVERY time."
"Ok but why did she wash with tapwater," commented the next user.
