There are many takers for the quirky practice of serving ice cream on sweetened bread.
But, if a street vendor in Gujarat thought that he could piggyback on that combination and make a dish out of mixing kulfi (a frozen dairy dessert) and butter pav (an Indian-style buttered bread roll), he was sorely mistaken.
The experiment took the Internet by storm – but for all the wrong reasons. Several netizens duly expressed their disgust over the creation.
A video, shared on X by @MFuturewala, showed the street vendor using a big tawa (frying pan) to prepare the dish.
He places a huge block of butter on the tawa. He then heats the pav with butter and puts it on a plate. A few seconds later, the street vendor adds a slice of kulfi, usually savoured on a stick, leaf or plate.
The caption to the video read: “Butter pav bhaji is a thing of the past. Eat hot, hot butter kulfi pav, which is the new story from Gujarat.”
People were not amused, though.
“Wow… what a waste of taste,” read one comment.
Another cheekily said: “Thank god they didn’t add an omelette with chocolate syrup in it.”
A third commented: “In a desperate need to come up with innovative recipes, this is what people were served. Yuck. And yeah, this is from our very own Gujarat.”
