In today’s highly competitive market, street vendors need to have a USP to stand out from the crowd and keep their sales steady. However, culinary sensibilities are sacrificed for prominence. Are you the type to drink Coke while munching on a biscuit? Tossing chicken curry with jalebi? Can I put ketchup on your rice, please? If you can’t say “no” to all of these questions, you may have lost your grip on culinary sanity. One of the most recent strange food combinations is masala jalebi. Mayur Sejpal’s tweet showing off the unusual meal garnered nearly 100 favorites.
The viral photo shows a kadai brimming with masala jalebis. What you just read is correct. Soaking jalebis in hot sugar syrup creates a popular dessert. It is customary to serve it at weddings, and it is also commonly served as a late-night snack.
However, what is to be done about this abominable state of affairs? Users of the internet have been utterly blown away by the picture. Over 23,000 people have watched the video, and nearly 100 have liked it since it was posted.
This food combination perplexed internet users, who responded with numerous comments asking how it could be made. “Bhai ki entry hi kuch alag hoti hai,” a user commented with a puking emoji. Another user posted the message “Bhagwan bachaye is paap se” along with several emoticons. “Gulab jamun banoge tum pakka Agle Janam me (You’ll be born as a gulab jamun in your next life),” composed a third. A fourth said, “Ohh noo, ohh noo, chiiiiii.”
Needless to say, the internet truly never fails to amaze us. Weird food combinations drive great views around social media platforms, whether vendors put the out deliberately is a different question altogether. We can’t blame them, can we? After all, everyone wants to be famous these days.
