Shashi Tharoor questions viral idli and chai pairing over texture

Tharoor recommends separate idli and chai

Tharoor pointed out that a soft idli would just fall apart in tea, while a hard one loses its charm.
He suggested enjoying chai and idli separately instead of mixing them up.
His take sparked plenty of reactions online, with some defending the quirky combo and others agreeing that texture (and tradition) should win.
