In the ever-evolving world of Indian street food, vendors have become unsung innovators of bold and often bizarre culinary experiments. With an eye for the unconventional and a knack for mixing the unbearable, he created concoctions that sent shockwaves through social media. Of these, one dish has sparked heated debate and raised some eyebrows – Gulab Jamun Paratha. It’s a mash-up that combines the fried sweetness of gulab jamun with the savory flavor of paratha – a combination that’s as amazing as it sounds. We saw this a few years ago, and now it’s trending again.
The dish caught people’s attention when food vlogger Gaurav Wasan posted a video on Instagram. In this, a vendor prepares Gulab Jamun Paratha, which starts with a simple dough that is rolled out and filled with two Gulab Jamuns. The vendor crushes the sweet pakodas gently, wraps them in flour before carefully rolling them into paratha shapes. The tadka is then applied on a hot pan, followed by a drizzle of sugar syrup to complete the dish.
