If you have a penchant for sweets, you might be intrigued by the recent trend on the internet – the gulab jamun paratha. This unique paratha, prepared like a regular one but with the addition of gulab jamuns, has stirred up a debate online.
In the video, a man is seen rolling out the paratha dough and filling it with two gulab jamuns. Once heated on the tawa, he generously pours sugar syrup over it. The video, shared by food blogger Sona Negi under the Instagram handle @taste_bird, has garnered over 40 lakh views.
Sona Negi, in her caption, expressed surprise at the unexpectedly positive outcome of the dish, apologizing for the unconventional view. The reactions in the comments section were diverse.
Some users were enthusiastic about trying the unique paratha, describing it as “too yummy” and “super tempting.” Others, however, questioned the need for such an “experiment.” Comments ranged from expressing a loss of appetite to criticizing the perceived wastefulness of the culinary venture. One user even sarcastically questioned the necessity of the experiment, asking if there was a shortage of vegetables.
This unconventional culinary trend follows the recent emergence of the Candy Crush Paratha at Delhi’s Paranthewali Gali, where the combination of a sweet paratha with savory accompaniments left netizens both amused and intrigued.
