Lately, foodies seem to be on an adventurous spree, experimenting with unexpected food combinations, ranging from delightful surprises to questionable concoctions. Food pairings like chocolate momos and mango Maggi have been making waves recently, sparking mixed reactions from people. In Delhi, the latest culinary experiment is the Dhokla Chaat, combining the traditional Gujarati dish with the flavours of chaat. A video shared by a popular food vlogger showed him enjoying the Dhokla Chaat “dessert”. In the video, the dish is visually appealing with vibrant colours and a generous coating of milky-creamy sauce, making the vlogger guess “if this is a dish or a savoury”. The video has sparked diverse reactions online, with some claiming that Delhi is “ruining Dhokla.”
In the video posted on Instagram, the vlogger described the dish as “fresh, soft, and spongy Dhokla.” Adding layers of flavour with berry chutney, wasabi pieces for texture, and a generous serving of sweet dahi, he eagerly takes a bite, giving the unconventional creation a thumbs up with enthusiasm.
