Meghan demonstrated her familiarity with Indian cuisine during the evening, impressing the restaurateur with her knowledge.
"Meghan is awesome and loved all the food. She remembered the chilis from last time, and I was totally impressed because she knew bhindi is the hindi word for okra," Vij shared.
The restaurant owner added that Meghan told him she only ate Indian food when pregnant with her children Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3.
Vikram said: "Meghan said that during her pregnancy, she had eaten only Indian food and I told her it was the best thing for her!"
