Paratha is one dish that has a special place in every Indian's heart. Agreed? Our favourite is aloo paratha! The experience of enjoying the stuffed bread reaches a whole new level when it is prepared in ghee and served along with curd or pickle. But have you heard of vodka paratha? Well, the next chapter in the bizarre food experiments has brought forth a “vodka aloo paratha”. The now-viral clip was shared by stand-up comedian Rahul Dua, wherein he can be seen reacting to a woman preparing the combo. The clip begins with the woman kneading the dough, using vodka instead of water. Listening to this, Rahul says, “Lagta hai Bangalore ki video hai. Water shortage chal rahi hai to improvise karrahe hain. [It seems the clip is from Bangalore. As they are facing water shortage, they appear to be improvising like this].”

Once the dough was ready, the woman can be seen stuffing it with the aloo mixture. After rolling it flat, the woman cooks it like the classic aloo paratha but in the end, pours the remaining vodka onto the hot tawa. Next up, the clip showed her reviewing the vodka aloo paratha. Right after a bite, she can be heard saying that her head started to spin. Sharing the clip, Rahul Dua wrote, “Vodka wale aloo paranthe? Like, for real? Is fusion ka koi fuse uda do isse pehle mera ude! (Please someone ban this fusion before it blows off my mind).”
