Strange: Gulab Jamun Noodles Will Defy Your Taste Senses

Once again, a ground-breaking mixture is sweeping the internet in the field of culinary innovation, where every turn produces a new experience. This time, our beloved noodles are the center of attention. You heard correctly. A surprisingly good match for noodles—those cherished strings of savory joy, is the well-known Indian delicacy gulab jamun.

A street stall seller is seen at work in a widely shared video. He fried up a batch of vegetable noodles in a big wok (kadhai) to perfection with trained accuracy. However, the unexpected occurs just when we believe we’ve seen everything. The seller grabs for a Gulab Jamun, throwing little bits of it into the hot noodles in a daring gesture. This unusual yet distinctive meal is finally prepared and ready to be enjoyed.

This popular video was shared on Instagram and has received over 1.1 million views. It has also sparked a plethora of responses in the comments area. A commenter showed contempt by asking, “Ewwww, why????? Thank you for destroying the noodles,” one person said angrily, “What rubbish…?” Go do something different if you are not a good chef.

With a hint of cynicism, one user said, “Where is that complimentary poison?”

Someone else penned, “Justice for street food.”

Hold onto your seats if you believe that “Gulab Jamun Noodles” is enough to make people look twice. A while back, a video of a street vendor’s bold invention—”gulab jamun chaat”—went viral, leaving many viewers completely perplexed. Imagine ladles of tamarind chutney and curd drizzling over dishes of the popular Indian dessert, topped with sev, papri, and pomegranate seeds. Many viewers were so repulsed by this fusion meal that it caused a backlash on social media.

One person said, “Stop,” rather bluntly, while another said, “This is a sin.”

However, the inventiveness in cooking did not end there. Now for the newest craze: “Gulab Jamun Pizza.” A street hawker bravely placed the well-known Indian dessert on a pizza base in a now-viral video. Instagram users were quick to voice their dissatisfaction, pouring vitriol into the comments area.

One person commented, “This is where we should draw a line between two dishes,” while another made the amusing joke, “Italians are crying in the corner.”

An individual said, “Someone is mispronouncing gulab jamun, someone is fusing weird flavors with gulab jamun, kya kya dekhna pad raha hai [..what are we being forced to see!]”
