You’ve likely encountered many food fusions, but this one might just top the list for being the weirdest. The dish in question is a vegetable curry that has an unexpected dessert twist added to it.
You may question the idea of mixing sugar into a ‘sabji,’ but this eatery took it a step further by adding piles of ‘jalebi’ into the curry, leaving every viewer stunned.
A video showing this jalebi-infused vegetable curry has gone viral on Instagram. It begins with a roadside vendor preparing a hot sabji on a pan, adding chopped vegetables and spices. At first, it seems like a mouth-watering vegetable dish that could be paired with roti or paratha. However, things take a strange turn when the vendor adds several pieces of jalebi to the hot vegetable gravy, stirring them into the mix. The dish is then served to customers in a paper bowl.
