Khichdi, Rasgulla, Saag, Dhokla: US restaurant launches ‘Modi Ji Thali’ ahead of PM Narendra Modi’s US trip

By Smith On Jun 12, 2023

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the most popular global leader in the world and enjoys a huge fan following across the globe. Earlier this year, PM Modi once again emerged as the most popular leader across the world, leaving behind US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in a ranking released by an agency.

Fans across the globe do several things to show their love towards Modi. Ahead of PM’s state visit to the US, a New Jersey-based restaurant has prepared a special ‘Modi Ji Thali’. PM Modi is visiting the US at the invitation of President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden in June.

The ‘Modi Ji Thali’, curated by chef Shripad Kulkarni, comprises dishes as diverse as the Indian landscape. The dishes in the Thali range from Khichdi, Rasgulla, Sarso Da Saag, and Dum Aloo to Kashmiri, Idli, Dhokla, Chaach, and Papad.

The restaurant owner also plans to launch another Thali dedicated to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar soon.

“We plan to launch this thali soon. I’m very positive that it’s going to gain popularity. Once this does well I also plan to launch a Dr Jaishankar Thali, because he too has that rockstar appeal amongst the Indian American community,” Malhotra told ANI.

This is not the first time a restaurant has dedicated a Thali to PM Modi.

Last year, ahead of PM Modi’s birthday on September 17, a Delhi-based restaurant launched a Thali named 56inch Narendra Modi Thali.

ARDOR 2.1, a restaurant located in Connaught Place, Delhi, presented the big-sized thali having 56 items, with the customer having the choice of opting for vegetarian and non-vegetarian food.

The owner of ARDOR 2.1 restaurant, Sumit Kalara, told ANI earlier, “I respect PM Modi-ji so much. He is the pride of our nation and we wanted to gift something unique on his birthday. So, we decided to launch this grand thali named ’56inch Modi Ji’ Thali. We want to gift him this thali and want him to come here and eat. But, due to security reasons, we can’t do that, so this is for all of his fans who love him a lot. Please come and enjoy this thali.”

The US president and the First Lady will host Modi at a state dinner on June 22. During his trip Modi will become the first Indian PM to address the Joint Meeting of the US Congress for the second time.
