We all know how Indians love desi food, and on top of that, we love it spicy. A US restaurant went viral recently after posting a photo of their 'spice chart'.?
The US restaurant's hilarious spice chart for paneer butter masala has taken the internet by storm, earning praise for its amusing approach to Indian cuisine. The chart, which was designed to help customers understand the level of spiciness in the popular Indian dish, has won hearts with its humorous take on the often intimidating world of Indian spices.?
The screenshot of the chart was been shared on Twitter by Aditi Shekar with the caption, "I just tried to order Indian food in Bethesda, and this is hilarious."?
The screenshot shows Aditi ordering a paneer butter masala, which gives you the option to choose how spicy you want it.?The spice chart had the following options, Zero Spice, American Mild, American Medium, American Spicy, Indian Mild, Indian Medium, Indian?Spicy, and Indian Very Spicy.
Since Aditi shared this screenshot, it has got 2.2 million views, 1,307 retweets, 21.4K likes, and 490 bookmarks.
One user said she often gets confused while ordering food according to the spice level but that this innovation was amazing.
?Another user asked, "Did the restaurant stick to the chosen option, or is this just pre-order conditioning to keep people from complaining?"
Another user revealed, "Im American and white but I eat extremely spicy but restaurants never trust me. I have to say indian or Thai extra spicy "as hot as you can make it" for them to actually make it spicy. When I go with Indian or Asian friends/fam they have to chime in 'yes asian spice for him'."
?According to another user, "Is one above "zero spice" aka "please do not order?"
Another user wrote, "American Spicy & Indian Mild must be the same thing."?
The success of the restaurant's spice chart has inspired other establishments to create their own versions, with some even incorporating it into their menus. Clearly, the chart has struck a chord with customers and helped make Indian cuisine more accessible to a wider audience.
