New York City's government took to their official Instagram handle to share a video of an Indian-origin girl who can be seen sharing her lunchbox details. The video shows New York City's diversity within the public schools of the city.
In the video, the girl can be seen introducing herself and then goes on to explain what's in her lunch. She says that she has Maggie noodles, which is a popular Indian snack. She says, "My name is Aanya and this is what is in my lunch. I brought Indian noodles called Maggi. We put the noodles in the pot, add hot water and our spices, and then it turns yellow."
She also reveals that her favourite food is the chicken curry that her mother makes. She says, "The chicken curry my mommy makes. She uses different spices, and each one has its own unique aroma."
Sharing the video, the NYC government captioned it "True fact: there’s never a curry better than mommy’s. What’s In My Lunchbox: Season Two is here! We’re celebrating our city’s diversity and AAPI Heritage Month through our public school students’ lunchboxes. Tune in for a delicious ode to what makes New York special."
