A reel showing a Punjabi couple's sweet gesture of hospitality for their neighbour is winning many hearts online. The now-viral video was shared by Instagram user Sonia Kaur (@lovelightsonia), whose Punjabi parents are featured in the clip. We see the couple walk over to the fence of the yard behind their house. Their neighbour, Penny, is standing on the other side. After greeting her, the man hands over a plate loaded with crisp pakoras to her over the fence. "It's really good," he tells her. "I'm sure," gushes Penny, as she takes it carefully into her hands.

The Punjabi woman also places a second dish on the boundary wall and tells Penny there's another plate of food for her. She also gives Penny a glass filled with chutney and explains to her that she must put it on top of the "fried stuff." Since her hands are already full with two plates, she tells them to wait for her to come back and take the chutney from them.
The video also gives us a glimpse of how the pakoras were made earlier. We see the man seated above a big kadhai filled with hot oil. He takes large portions of the prepared pakora mixture into his fist and carefully drops parts of it into the oil to fry them until crisp. "Punjabi parents love feeding their neighbours," reads the text on the video. In the caption, the user wrote, "We love our neighbour Penny. We share plants, food, and other great memories just over our backyard fence." Watch the complete reel here:
