A modest lunch party was organized by the Indian Air Force (IAF) during multinational exercise the Red Flag-08 at US air force base Nellis recently, but it so turned out that the US Air Force warriors simply fell in love with Indian dish Rajma Chawal. A senior IAF officer informed that there was mouth watering Indian delicacies like Hyderabadi biryani, rajma chawal and shahi paneer on the menu.

The official added that not only did the American and the South Korean air force personnels liked the Indian food very much, they also got down to eating the Indian way - i.e. with their fingers. Even the Pacific Command Lt. Gen. Lyod Utterback, who attended the party, expressed his heartfelt compliments. After relishing the food the US Air Force and South Korean troops only said one thing -'Indian food is good, but red hot!'
