Viral Gulab Jamun Parantha from Agra
Almost like
Masala Dosa Ice Cream and Roohafza Maggi weren't enough to make us sick, here's
another cuisine pairing that will make your head spin. Evidently, a street food
vendor chose to combine Gulab Jamun and paratha in one meal, and netizens are
not pleased. While we're all for fantastic fusion cuisine, where do you define
the difference?
Gulab Jamun
is a popular subcontinental dish that consists of deep-fried khoya and maida
balls coated in saffron-infused sugar syrup. Did you realize that Gulab Jamun,
which can now be found at all Indian Mithai stores, is not indigenous to India?
They were really carried over from Persia and evolved further in Indian kitchens.
Of course, Gulab Jamun may now be found in ice creams and smoothies, but a
Gulab Jamun Paratha is still difficult to swallow.
Instagrammer
@foodxdelhi captured an Agra Street food seller rolling up standard atta dough
for a paratha, but instead of stuffing it with aloo, paneer, or gobhi, he grabs
two Gulab Jamun dripping with chashni, inserts them in the center of the
paratha, and smashes it. He next closes the edges of the Gulab Jamun dough and
rolls it out flat with his wooden handle. The paratha is then placed on a
heated tawa with a drizzle of oil. He fried the paratha on both sides until
it's golden and crisp, then tops it with chashni.
The paratha
isn't that tasty, and if you're used to cheeni wale paratha, you might want to
give this a shot after discarding all existing preconceptions. So far, the
video has received over 1 million views and a variety of emotions.
