American YouTuber and makeup artist James Charles has sparked mixed reactions after reviewing several Indian dishes in an Instagram video. He rated garlic naan 7/10 on its own but gave it 10/10 with butter chicken, whose gravy he compared to vodka sauce. Charles described pani puri’s water as “vinegary and sour,” awarding it 6/10, while mango lassi received 9/10. Samosa chaat scored 4/10, and lamb curry just 2/10. He ended his food trail with gulab jamun, giving the Indian sweet a perfect 10/10. While some viewers appreciated his attempt to explore Indian cuisine, others criticised his pronunciation and dish selection, suggesting regional favourites he had missed.
