Well, we can’t help but ask —Yeh kya ho raha hai aur kyun ho raha hai? ( What and why is this happening?)

A video shared by food vlogger, Amar Sirohi on his Insta page, @foodie_incarnate shows a Surat street food vendor preparing Fruit Pizza. The vendor cuts a watermelon into triangular pieces and uses it as a base. Next, he adds chaat masala on them and then tops them with kiwi, black grapes, pineapple, papaya, dragon fruit and mango.
A variety of dry fruits like almonds, raisins and cashews go on it. This is then followed by a generous amount of glucose powder and honey. What takes the cake is the insane amount of Amul cream which the vendor drowns the fruit bowl in. Priced at ₹280, this Fruit Pizza is touted to be a healthier version of the traditional pizza. However, the oodles of cream which went into the fruit bowl have us thinking otherwise.
