Watch: Indian Man Showcases Desi Food Items At Dallas Walmart, Prices Shock Internet

An Indian expat in the US went viral on Instagram after showcasing a range of Indian food products available at a Walmart store in Dallas. In the video, Rajat takes viewers through the store's aisles, highlighting popular items like Royal lentils, Haldiram's snacks, Parle biscuits, and various spices and sauces. He noted that the store stocks these products due to the large Indian customer base in Dallas, with prices ranging from $4 to $4.5 for items like dal, namkeen, and biscuits. 

"Guys, let me show you some Indian products available in Walmart here in America. By the way, this is Walmart in Dallas. You can find Royal brand lentils like masoor dal and moong dal for around 4 dollars each. Haldiram's khatta meetha namkeen is priced at 4 dollars, and their aloo bhujia also costs 4 dollars. Parle's Hide & Seek biscuits are about 4.5 dollars. Look at this shelf — it has Parle-G, Good Day, biryani masala, tandoori masala, butter chicken sauce, and many other items. Since there are so many Indian customers in Dallas, Walmart has to stock these products to meet their needs," Rajat says in the video.
