These are Dabholi’s famous Kumbhaniya bhajiya and are loved by the people here. What sets this street vendor’s stall apart is his unique way of frying these bhajiyas. He dips his hand in hot oil in the vessel to fry these bhajiyas. Yes, you read that right.
He starts dipping his hand in the batter of the bhajiya and then very effortlessly dips them in hot oil to release the bhajiya into it. He then also stirs the same to make space for more of them in the oil. The vessel can be seen placed on a high flame.

Netizens Are Completely Blown Away
Many people on the internet commented on this post. While some of them called the vendor an iron man, others were trying to believe their eyes after watching the video.
Some of them tried to understand if he was actually frying in hot oil or water. One of them commented, “Bhaiya pani me talte ho kya?” which means “Are you frying them in water?”.
One user tried to understand the possibility of this. She mentioned how rice steam too gives her boils. She failed to understand how the man suffered zero burns on his hands even after putting them in boiling oil.
There were some users who wondered the reason behind him frying it with bare hands. Some commented on how this is a completely dangerous act and should not be followed by children or even adults, for that matter.
