Fusion dishes are found in abundance on the internet. Bloggers and eateries often create some interesting combinations beyond the imagination of the typical foodie. We came across an exotic chocolate Vada Pav that had chocolate sauce and mayonnaise. The internet really had a hard time digesting this wacky dish created by a street vendor. Another weird video showing how to make weird egg-flavored popcorn by a food blogger. If you thought the fusion food trend was over, think again. A Twitter user spotted ‘Pani Puri Shawarma’ on a diner’s menu and everyone was confused about it. Take a look at the photos he shared:

The post was shared on Twitter by user @krishashok, where it has received hundreds of likes, comments and retweets. The images were taken from an eatery called ‘Ustad Hotel’ at Chennai’s Elliot Beach. “Need to try Pani Puri Shawarma, though. I guess shawarma is stuffed in puri,” the user wrote in his tweet.
For those who don’t like it, Pani Puri is a popular Indian street food featuring deep-fried Puris with aromatic and spicy broth, shredded potatoes, and sweet and sour chutney. Meanwhile, Shawarma is a Lebanese favorite by grilling meat and wrapping it in Pita bread along with sauces and vegetables. The hearty dish makes for a satisfying snack and even a meal itself.
Some Twitter users were intrigued by the strange combination of Pani Puri and Shawarma. The users wondered how exactly two popular dishes would be combined. Some also shared other exotic Pani Puri dishes they had encountered before. Watch:
