A street vendor in Surat triggered a buzz on social media after a video of him selling an unusual dish, ‘pani puri shawarma’, caught the Internet’s attention. The viral video shows the vendor filling puris with chicken chunks and an enormous amount of cheese.
Shared by an X user Mohammed Futurewala, the clip begins with the vendor shredding chicken from the shawarma stand and adding veggies like cabbage, beetroot and potato chips. He then adds mayonnaise and Schezwan chutney and mixes them well.
The vendor breaks the puris, fills them with the stuffing, and tops it with mayonnaise and cheese.
In a sarcastic post on X, Futurewala wrote, “Ismail, a pani puri vendor from Surat, embarked on a journey to Turkey, where he was captivated by the flavors of shawarma. Upon his return, he ingeniously fused the two cuisines, creating the unique and delectable Pani Puri Shawarma. His innovative dish quickly became a sensation, drawing food lovers from near and far to experience his culinary marvel.”
