This is mixed with all the Indian spices.

The internet has a new food fad, and it’s not for the faint-hearted. Himachal’s ‘ice’ is taking social media by storm. This bizarre concoction blends icy chills with fiery spices, leaving tastebuds both bewildered and intrigued.

Forget your typical snow cones and sundaes. This takes inspiration from India’s vibrant street food scene. The ice, sourced directly from Himachal Pradesh, is meticulously hand-grated before being doused in a masala mix like no other.

This fiery blend throws together the warmth of cumin, coriander, and turmeric with the sharp tang of green chutney and the fiery kick of red chilli powder. The result? A flavour explosion that defies categorisation.

Watch the video below:

While the concept might seem outlandish, the online world is abuzz with curiosity. This video shared on Instagram by @ruc.hhiiiiii documents the entire process as they navigate the contrasting temperatures and unexpected spice hits. The user says she finds it refreshingly unique because of the audacity of the flavour combinations.
