A street vendor’s experiment with Old Monk rum and tea recently did the rounds on social media. The man was seen adding the rum to a kulhad under heat and was seen adding tea into it.
Gulab jamun often gets experimented with weird combinations. While the dessert’s combination with burger buns would not have been imagined by anyone, a street vendor served it to his customers. In a video, gulab jamuns were seen added on top of burger buns, squished after adding sugar syrup. Netizens were quick to express their disagreement.
