This Chocolate Idli From Surat Is Making Waves On The Internet; Do You Fancy A Bite?

A dessert like no other, Surat’s latest chocolate idli has attracted the rage of users on social media. In recent years, the internet has witnessed several unique dessert creations ranging from chocolate momos to transparent gulab jamuns. In a similar case, a video has been shared by the Curly Tales on Instagram, showcasing a one-of-a-kind food fusion. In the clip, a person can be seen preparing some fresh Idlis before adding chocolate syrup to them along with crushed pieces of chocolate. One plate of this idli dessert will set you back Rs 110. The restaurant serving this new dessert is named Grenee Lp Savani and is located in the Dudhwala Chowpatty Food Court beside the Toyota showroom, near Hari Om Circle. The video has now been viewed more than 9.45 lakh times on Instagram.

The unconventional chocolate treat has drawn a ton of attention on the internet, with most users feeling that this unique creation is unnecessary. One of them wrote, “I take personal offence as a Tamilian after watching this video.” Another commented, “These are the moments I feel embarrassed being based in Surat.” In one reply, a netizen suggested that they would likely see a red velvet version of idli as well, in the future. “Soon…we can see red velvet idli trending,” he wrote. Another jokingly said, “Why should Dosa have all the fun.” One user felt that food items had started losing their originality due to these innovations. “Nonsense. In the name of Innovation the original things are getting sacrificed,” he said.

This isn’t the first time someone has experimented with the South Indian delicacy. A couple of months back, the internet saw a food vendor make an ice cream roll out of idli. The video was shared by a food vlogger named Sukri Jain. The clip began with the vendor chopping the idli into small pieces. He then poured some red chutney, coconut chutney, sambhar and ice cream all over the idli. He mixed all the ingredients before flattening the mixture on a cold plate. As the video ended, the vendor could be seen plating his creation by garnishing it with half an idli and some chutney. That video was shared on January 17, garnering more than 13 million views.

These strange desserts tend to gain a ton of attention on the internet which probably signals why vendors or restaurants try such weird recipes. What do you think of this new idli dessert and would you give it a try?
