When we think we have seen it all, the culinary sphere surprises us with yet another bizarre food experiment. This time, the topic of discussion is Kunafa chocolate pani puri. Kunafa, a traditional Middle Eastern dessert, is popular for its crispy layers and sweet syrup layered with cheese or cream. Garnished with nuts, this pastry is truly one-of-a-kind. However, Kunafa with pani puri is a combo that foodies might have never heard about. Recently, a food vlogger dropped a video on Instagram presenting viewers with the unique preparation found at Bhukkad cafe in Dubai.
The clip shows a dramatic arrangement of pani puri and glasses filled with gooey chocolate syrup being served on a table in a toy truck at the eating joint. The crispy and hollowed puff balls are stuffed with Kataifi (a sweet, shredded pastry made from phyllo dough). Pistachio cream is drizzled on the top. Now, for the interesting bit. The vlogger pours the chocolate syrup into the pani puri. Her side note read, "We have seen many versions of the Dubai viral chocolate but this one has to be the most intriguing and weird combination. Wouldn't try it again taste-wise but the presentation was rather unique! Would you try this?"
The internet was quick to react to the viral food combo.
A concerned foodie commented, "This has gone too far...we need to nip this in the bud before they put kunafa chocolate in my shawarma."
Inquiring about the location, a user expressed their desire to "send enemies" to the cafe to stop the food blunder.
Another demanded "Justice for Pani puri and justice for Kunafa" adding, "Please do not ruin two of my favourite things to eat."
"Trend gone too far," lamented an individual.
A person found the dish "unacceptable".
"Experimenting is great but some things should remain authentic. Please keep gol gappa as it is and don't change it with unusual combinations," read a remark.
So far, the video has garnered more than 1 million views. Would you like to try this too?
