Barack Obama, the former United States of America president, was at his witty best in New Delhi, where he was speaking at an event. Leaving the audience in split, and perhaps awe, Obama revealed that he knows how to make daal, the ubiquitous humble Indian dish the recipe for which he learnt in his student years.
