We don’t believe there is an Instagram user who can say no to all those drool-worthy accounts that share amazing food from all over the world. Their food is exceptionally beautiful and the recipes call for immediate action.
The only problem is – you can’t tell who’s who. They all look the same, and that’s why people started noticing an Indian guy who photographs his food in the same yellow plate over and over again.
“My Yellow Plate was not intentional. I never planned that I would pick up a yellow plate and go out looking for food,” the author of the page, Himanshu Sehgal, says. “One fine day in 2015, my mom served me Rajma Chawal on this yellow plate. No one knows where it came from, it was just there in the kitchen. I remember taking a picture of it and sharing it on my personal Instagram profile.”
“It wasn’t a great shot but it still clicked with the viewers, getting several likes and comments from friends and family,” he remembers. “This was probably because most Indian households use either steel thalis or pastel-colored crockery and a bright yellow plate was conspicuous. Intrigued, I decided to carry the yellow plate along with me while traveling. Every time I would eat on it, I would share it with people and let them know what’s on my yellow plate.”
