Indian cuisine is celebrated worldwide for its rich flavours and diverse snacks. Recently, a video surfaced online, capturing how one such snack brought unexpected joy to a group of American workers.
The video features employees from a Minnesota-based company called The Sealcoating Guys, who were busy paving and sealing a driveway outside a home. In the clip, one of the workers is heard saying, “It smells so good. She said we could have little doughnuts or something. She asked if we wanted some,” referring to an Indian homeowner offering them a treat.
“I know, they’re probably going to come out with something. They are super nice,” he added.
After they finished their work, a woman came out of her house holding two disposable plates. Each plate had three pieces of vada along with some coconut chutney. The woman, dressed casually with a dupatta on her shoulders, offered the homemade snacks to the workers as a way to thank them.
The crew thanked her, saying, “Thank you so much,” and “So kind of you.” Curious about the snack, they asked her what it was. She explained, “Vada. It’s like a doughnut, but not sweet, spicy only.”
As the workers enjoyed the vada with coconut chutney, they were heard praising the snack with one of them even exclaiming, “Fire.”

Since being posted online, the clip has also gathered more than 12 million views. It made Indians proud, with many people showering praise for the woman in the comments section.
One user commented, “This is the beautiful culture of India. Atithi Devo Bhava (The guest is equivalent to God).”
Another said, “It’s just a gesture of goodwill buddy, it’s very common in India.”
“Our Indian culture is the best in the world. So kind,” someone else added.
A viewer shared, “It is like a thank you gesture for the work you are doing for them. Providing food and water is considered ‘bare minimum’ in Indian culture. So, everyone does that. I was shocked to see it not the case in other parts of the world.”
“Look at them feeling so special about it. Culture carried right,” read another comment.
Vada is a popular Indian snack made from lentils, vegetables, or both. It is usually served with chutneys and sambar.
