New Delhi, March 3 Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has shown his culinary skills by giving 'tadka' to 'khichdi' under the direction of Union minister Smriti Irani at a programme focused on ‘Empowerment through nourishment campaign.

Smriti Irani shared a video on Twitter, which shows Bill Gates giving "tadka to Shree Ann khichdi".

"Recognising the Super Food of India and its POSHAN component. When @BillGates gave tadka to Shree Ann Khichdi!," Irani captioned the video.

Social media users praised the Union minister for drawing attention to the untapped potential of Indian meals.
