A Kashmiri vendor has stunned the internet with his revelation that he makes Rs 3 lakh monthly by selling chocolates and cookies in Dal Lake’s floating market. The vendor learned the art of making assorted chocolates from his grandfather, who had worked in Belgium.
In an Instagram video, a reporter with a digital news platform can be seen interacting with the vendor. He begins by giving a tour of his little shop, which has a variety of chocolates like walnut-stuffed, vanilla, coconut, mango, vanilla-chocolate fudge stuffed with walnuts and almonds, and more. The vendor claims that the Belgian chocolates sold in his shop are to be found nowhere else in India.
The vendor says his grandfather brought the recipe to India from Belgium. He refuses to share the recipe with the reporter.
The vendor then opens a box full of homemade cookies. He reveals he earns approximately Rs 10,000-12,000 in a day by selling chocolates and cookies.

Reacting to the video, a user wrote, “Reporter second guessing her profession after hearing about his daily income.” Another user commented, “I visited Kashmir last month and everything is overpriced, negotiate with them and you can get at least 30-50% discount.”
Last year, a pani puri vendor took the internet by storm as he revealed in a video that he made a profit of Rs 2,500 every day and earned about Rs 75,000 in a month.
