The vendor then enhances the dish by chopping fresh tomatoes, onions, green chilies, and cilantro, which he mixes into the pan. As the Fanta evaporates, the resulting dish, humorously dubbed “orange anda bhurji,” is served on a traditional leaf plate, showcasing a truly unique take on the beloved egg bhurji.
Social Media Reactions: Humor and Disbelief
Unsurprisingly, this unusual recipe has sparked a range of reactions online. Instagram users flooded the comments section with their opinions on the unexpected pairing of eggs and soda.
One user humorously remarked, “Well, this is one way to make breakfast and a drink at the same time.” Others expressed their astonishment: “I thought I’d seen everything until today. Fanta with eggs? Seriously?!”
While some viewers preferred to stick with traditional anda bhurji, others embraced the playful side of this creation. “This is what happens when you run out of oil and only have Fanta in the fridge,” quipped one comment.
Interestingly, some were more intrigued than critical. “I don’t know why, but I really want to try this,” confessed one adventurous foodie, while another exclaimed, “Only in India! This is why I love street food here.”
