Watch: Canadian toddler sings about his love of butter chicken in viral video and the internet agrees

Butter chicken is a Punjabi-style chicken gravy dish that is not only popular in Punjab and other neighboring states but has also won the hearts of foodies across the globe. Case in point: this two-year-old toddler from Canada is the cutest butter chicken fan you will ever see. In a now-viral Instagram video posted by the child’s mother, you can see the toddler in his crib, ready to sleep. However, sleep is not on the kid’s mind. So what is the little one thinking about? Butter chicken!

In the clip, which appears to be a baby cam recording, we can hear the toddler singing in the form of a lullaby: “Butter chicken. Butter chicken. Butter chicken, yum, yum… it’s so delicious. Butter chicken. Butter chicken. I love butter, I love butter chicken. It’s so delicious.”

The caption read: “Some kids sing nursery rhymes to sleep. My 2 year old (27 months to be exact) makes up songs about butter chicken.” The video has gone viral on Instagram and has been viewed 4.9 million times so far. Check out how viewers react to this video:

“Yo if you were in India I would send you butter chicken right now,” wrote one viewer. “He’s officially Indian now,” added another.

One joked: “Punjabi guy reincarnated as an American who couldn’t forget his past.” An adult who could identify with the video joked: “I’m 477 months old and I sing about butter chicken every night before I go to bed. Totally normal behavior.”
