US Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal’s last-minute push to garner support for Democratic US vice-presidential nominee Kamala Harris by deploying culinary soft power has sparked a social-media storm among Indians.
On the night before the election, Jayapal, the first South Asian-American woman elected to the US House of Representatives, tweeted about making “paneer tikka” in honour of the California senator, saying the latter mentioned on Instagram that her favourite north Indian food was any kind of tikka.
