In recent times, the culinary world has witnessed an influx of unconventional and sometimes eccentric food pairings. From the peculiar Maggi shake to the fusion of rasgulla and chaat, food enthusiasts have been experimenting with novel dishes. 

However, not every experiment finds favour with our taste buds. The latest addition to this evolving list of innovative yet polarizing creations is the bhindi stuffed paratha, a fusion that has left the online community divided.

A video making rounds online showcases a woman in action, starting with the basic task of kneading wheat flour into dough. She takes a ladyfinger, dices it into four portions, and proceeds to chop it finely. These chopped ladyfingers are then blended with a mixture of spices which include turmeric powder, red chili powder, dhania powder, kali mirch powder, and a dash of salt.

A spoonful of gram flour (besan) is added to the mix, and all the ingredients are combined to perfection. The dough is then shaped into a flat round and generously filled with the prepared mixture. The final step involves cooking the stuffed paratha in a pan until it is steaming hot and ready to be served.

This unique culinary fusion has ignited a flurry of mixed reactions, sparking a deluge of comments from viewers with diverse opinions. As the world of food continues to evolve, it seems there is no limit to the creative concoctions that will emerge – whether they're embraced or met with scepticism.

A segment of the internet expressed their disgust and disapproval of the unusual combination. A user commented, " I feel really weird looking at this... can't explain kind of trypophobia." Another wrote, “Iske baad hum bhindi khana hi chod denge.”  A third user commented, “nice recepie don't do it again.”
