Congress leader and Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor recently tweeted a recipe he received on WhatsApp for his followers. The tweet went insanely viral.

The post talked about the desi street food ‘bhel puri’. Tharoor informed that he was forwarded the picture of the recipe on WhatsApp.

However, the picture reveals that it was provided by Tharoor himself.

Starting with ‘exotic crispy puffed wild rice from the Western Ghats rainforest, drizzled with an aromatic salsa-verde of Rajasthani desert cilantro…’, the richly described recipe ends with the note ‘Commonly known as bhel puri’.

It also says in the end.

“Got this recipe from Dr Shashi Tharoor.”

The post received thousands of likes and hundreds of retweets and comments.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
