An American man has gone viral after claiming that eating simple Indian food helped him “cure” his asthma and allergies. “Cumin, mango powder, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon powder, turmeric powder, mint leaves,” he says, listing the ingredients one after another. He then praises the food and says that the spices are “extremely medicinal” for his stomach.
What made the video even more amusing for Indian viewers was the food he used to explain his discovery: a packet of aloo bhujia from an Indian brand. Samuel Hillclimber, a Massachusetts-based man who posts on Instagram as @cowboymansam, shared a video praising Indian food and its spices. In the video, he talks about how the ingredients commonly found in Indian food felt medicinal to him and claimed they helped with his asthma and allergies. But while talking about Indian spices, Samuel is seen holding a packet of aloo bhujia from an Indian brand and reading out its ingredients. In the video, Samuel makes a strong claim about his health and credits Indian food with helping him. “I cured my asthma and my allergies by using simple Indian food, okay? The spices in the Indian food are just extremely medicinal on my stomach.
An Indian user admitted, “As an Indian, I did not know aloo bhujia cures asthma😂” Another joked, “Imagine if he has Chyawanprash, he will become superman😂” One viewer suggested that Samuel’s next discovery should be an iconic Indian dish: “Wait until he discovers Hyderabadi dum biryani. ” Some users, however, agreed with part of what Samuel was saying. And another joked about what could happen after trying another popular Indian snack: “He’ll become super human after one golgappe.” One user joked, “Be careful, samosa might unlock your chakras too. Another wrote, “I don’t think highly processed packaged food can cure anything brother. “Well… Aloo Bhujia was unexpected,” another user commented. One person wrote, “I agree most of these spices are medicinal!
