Chandigarh, November 3
A day before voting in the 2020 United States presidential election, Pramila Jayapal, the first Indian-American woman to serve in the US House of Representatives, got the real taste of “paneer tikka” after being roasted by desi social media users.
Pramila Jayapal’s tweet where she shared a picture of “paneer tikka” in honour of Vice-President nominee Kamala Harris has not gone down well with the desi Twitter users.
Jayapal wrote: “Compulsive, night-before-election activity: make comfort food. That’s paneer tikka tonight, in honour of electing #KamalaHarris Veep tomorrow since she just said on Instagram that her favourite North Indian food is any kind of tikka! Let’s go, people! VOTE! #BidenHarris2020”

Though the famous north-Indian dish has nothing to do with the US election, but it found a spot on the trends list after the senator’s version of the dish was not much liked by the users.
Below are some reactions.
We can add culinary illiteracy to her list of achievements. https://t.co/H35o94Ga6y
