Many argued that it would take away the originality of the famous breakfast while others found it innovative and expressed their willingness to try it.

“Come on guys, let’s no ruin the real idli tradition, idli is perfect the way it is, it doesn’t need different shapes from what it already is,” commented a user.

Another user wrote, “Looking good and new innovation and all that is good. But, the age old tradition of having idli, as it is, and enjoying with your hands, that experience is divine. Everything has to be innovated into something new, not sure, if this kulfi idli can match. Just my opinion..!!”

“No, just No! I don’t like experiments with Idli,” commented another user.

This is not the only time that a bizarre food combination took social media by storm. Different varieties of food combinations are often shared online with the recent being ‘dairy milk pakora’.
