This bizarre creation follows a growing trend of experimental street food. A recent viral video featured a Delhi vendor preparing “fruit momos,” frying a mix of fruits like apples, bananas, and guavas in butter, and combining them with milk, cheese, and fried paneer momos. The fusion dish, priced at Rs. 170, ignited a debate about whether it was a bold culinary experiment or an outlandish concoction.
With these unusual food experiments going viral, it’s clear that India’s street food scene is evolving in unexpected ways. While some may doubt these combinations, others applaud the creativity that these vendors bring to the culinary table.
