  • Vishal Bharti's viral video shows him making a latte with pani puri instead of water.
  • The coffee-filled pani puri received mixed reactions from social media users
  • Fusion food experiments often trend online, sparking debate and curiosity.

Social media is a hotspot for discovering trending recipes and food experiments that have not been heard of before. While some don’t even surface online, the ones that do catch the attention of audiences in no time. One such latest video is that of a digital creator called Vishal Bharti, whose twist to the much-loved street food, pani puri, has gone viral.

Vishal Bharti, a National Latte Art Champion who is known for his brewing skills, didn’t spare pani puri and instead made a latte out of it. In the video he posted, he is seen holding a crispy, deep-fried puri that’s highly enjoyed by most chaat lovers. But instead of stuffing it with mashed potatoes, tamarind water, and chutneys, he did something no one could have imagined.

The content creator picked coffee instead and poured it into the puri, followed by milk. He put it in his mouth to savour it, and it seems like he quite enjoyed the twisted version. The video was captioned, “Not a water ball but a coffee ball.” If you haven’t seen it, then take a look here…

His video, posted a week ago, gained traction in no time, but only a few were pleased with the innovative mix-up. While some called it a “nice concept,” another said, “I definitely need this.” Another user joked, “This is a jugaad to avoid washing the coffee cup.”

There were many, though, who were not pleased with the experiment. One internet user commented, “I want an unseen button. I will report this, don’t do such experiments please.” A follower wrote, “What is this enmity you have, brother?” Many replied with “no” in the comments, making their displeasure known.

Such experiments, though, are not new on the internet. There have been various fusion dishes that have surfaced over time, including kulhad matcha chai, ice-cream biryani, ramen burgers, matcha dosa, cheesy orange juice, and many more.
