Love Chikki? This Culinary Experiment With Green Chutney And Sev Will Make You Unhappy

In the ever-evolving realm of social media, viral trends come and go, often leaving a trail of laughter, amazement, or sometimes, outright confusion. The latest sensation that took the internet by storm is the Chikki Chaat video, which has garnered mixed reactions from social media users across the globe. Shared by an Instagram food vlogger, the video features a creative culinary experiment where an individual attempts to turn the beloved Indian snack, chikki (a sweet made from jaggery and nuts), into a savoury chaat. The concoction involves crushing the chikki, adding various spices, and garnishing it with unconventional toppings like chopped onions, tomatoes, and coriander.

In the video, the street vendor breaks the chikki into two halves and adds crispy aloo bhujia on top. Then, surprisingly, he puts a layer of spicy green chutney and lemon juice. He repeats the process with bhujia and adds chopped coriander leaves, finishing it off with sweet chutney. According to the textual layout on the video, it was recorded in Surat, Gujarat. “Justice for chikki,” the caption read.

While social media platforms are no strangers to quirky food combinations, the Chikki Chaat has sparked a unique wave of criticism and amusement. Many internet users expressed their opinions through memes, tweets, and even video reactions, showcasing their disbelief at the unconventional fusion. Others have humorously questioned the creator’s taste buds and culinary instincts, wondering if the Chikki Chaat was a genuine attempt at a new dish or simply a viral stunt.

Reacting to the post, a user wrote, “What kind of nonsense experiments you people are doing with the food plz stop doing such thing.” Another commented, “Perfect example of how you can make healthy food unhealthy.”

“I couldn’t see it after the pudina chutney was used. How on earth do people get weird ideas?” an Instagram user wrote.

The Chikki Chaat video highlights the power of viral trends in the digital age. While some may find humour and joy in the absurdity of the culinary experiment, others may cringe at the unconventional fusion of flavours.
