If you find it hard to believe such a dish exists, you’re not alone. While some believed that this fusion worked because of the sweet factor in both pineapple and jalebi, others were not entirely convinced. One user said, “It is popular with bananas in South India and with other fruits in Canada.” Another said: “NGL looks delicious.” Someone commented, “I tried it and it’s delicious.”
Some users reported health concerns from eating pineapple jalebi. One user said, “No wonder why India would lead the world in terms of largest diabetes population.” Another comment read, “Causes liver problems.” Someone shouted, “This is called inviting your death.”
