New Delhi:
Reena Pushkarna, the celebrity chef who introduced Indian food to Israel, has been given the task of cooking for Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he is on a three-day visit to Israel. Pushkarna owns a chain called ‘Tandoori’ in Israel that serves Indian delicacies.
Interestingly, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had on Tuesday told PM Modi that he had come to Pushkarna's eatery 30-years-ago on his first date and after that he became the proud father of two beautiful daughters. And now, Pushkarna too has confirmed the same.
"My mother land is India and fatherland is Israel. I am very proud of my heritage. Now that he has himself told PM Modi, I would like to confirm that PM Benjamin Netanyahu came for his first date in my restaurant 30-years-ago," she said.
On asking about Modi's preference for food she said, "It is very easy to prepare food for PM Modi because it seems he loves 'maa ke hath ka khaana'. He loves home-made food such as Khichdi, moong ki daal, chapati, bhindi ki sabzi.
