NEW DELHI: POTUS 44, that is, former US President Barack Obama , said in Delhi today that he finds it too difficult to make 'chapatis'. He also said he's perhaps the first American President to have a recipe for 'daal'.
At an event in the Capital, Obama was asked if he was surprised that he's turned out to be a good cook, since demitting office.
"Yes, yes," said Obama, agreeing that he's become a good cook.

"But I can't make chapatis. Too difficult. Hard to get it all right and flaky," said Obama.
He also had something interesting things to say about the humble 'daal', reported IANS news agency.
Obama recounted that last night, the wait staff who was serving him 'daal' began to explain the dish and its recipe to him. The former US President told him then that he need not explain what 'daal' is, because he knew how to make it and had his own recipe he got a long time ago from an Indian roommate when he was a student.He then deadpanned that he was probably the first US President to have a recipe for the dish.

He is good though, he said, with some other dishes as well.
"My keema is also good, and my chicken is OK," he said, to the audience's delight.

Obama has an interactive session scheduled for later today, via a 'town hall'.
The 'town hall' is organised by the Obama Foundation, to "expand the conversation about what it means to be an active citizen and make an impact."
"President Obama believes that countries are strongest when we empower our young people - because ultimately, they're the ones who will shape our future," said Bernadette Meehan, Executive Director of International Programs at the foundation.
Obama participated in similar events in Germany, Indonesia, and Brazil, earlier this year.
