Bhindi, commonly known as lady's fingers or okra, is a beloved vegetable in Indian households, often enjoyed as a spicy dry sabzi. Despite being a green vegetable, which might typically deter children, it has garnered a significant fanbase. Recently, a heartwarming video on Instagram has gone viral which features a little boy named Cheeku from Noida expressing his deep affection for bhindi. Posted by his father on @cheekuthenoidakid, the video has captured over 4.5 million views. Priyanka Chopra, among other bhindi enthusiasts, has also reacted to this adorable display of affection.
In the video, Cheeku’s father asks him what dish he enjoys the most, to which he replies, “Bhindi roti. Bhindi ke saath kuch bhi ho roti ho, paratha ho, puri ho, par bhindi mujhe bahot pasand hai. [Bhindi roti. Pair anything with bhindi, be it roti, paratha, puri, but I like bhindi very much.]”
He described the dish as not too spicy. He said, “Spicy nahi hoti, thodi bahot hoti hai spicy [Not spicy, just a little bit spicy]," and when asked what is it about this dish that he likes so much, he says, "Bhindi ka taste bolo toh (gives a chef's kiss).”
At the end of the video, the father suggests unconventional food pairings like "bhindi sandwich, bhindi juice, bhindi biscuits, bhindi Maggi." The child bursts into laughter at these suggestions and adamantly refuses to try them.
