In the ever-evolving landscape of culinary creativity, a street vendor in Kolkata has captured the internet’s attention with an unconventional twist on a classic dish. A video shared by @foodandstreett (Subrata Samaddar) on Instagram features the vendor preparing Fanta Anda Bhurji , the popular orange-flavored soda. This unique recipe has taken social media by storm, racking up an impressive 180 million views.
The viral video begins with the vendor pouring an entire bottle of Fanta into a hot pan, immediately piquing viewers’ curiosity. As six eggs are cracked directly into the fizzy liquid, a sprinkle of salt adds a touch of flavor to the curious milky-orange mixture.

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.
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.”
This quirky culinary creation has sparked curiosity and laughter, highlighting the adventurous spirit of street food in India. Whether it’s a hit or miss, the Fanta egg dish serves as a reminder of how food can continuously surprise and bring people together in unexpected ways.
