“Why Murder 2 Food Items?” Ask Netizens After Seeing Pune’s Viral Idli Pattice

Ever heard of Idli Pattice? What’s that? Well, it’s the worst nightmare for Maharashtrians and South Indians. Recently a viral video showing the making of Idli Pattice in Pune took over the Internet. And it’s nothing short of frightening, almost appalling! Read on to know why we’re shocked.

Pune’s Popular Idli Pattice Has Sent The Internet On A Frenzy

X user Mohammed Futurewala shared a reel originally posted by food vlogger @thefoodiepedia on Instagram. In the caption, the X user wrote that the divine combination of Idli and Vada Pav gave rise to Idli Pattice in Pune. In the video, vendors from Tirupati Snacks Center in Rasta Peth, Pune, are seen preparing this snack. First, mashed spiced potatoes are stuffed between two idlis like a sandwich.

Then, these aloo-stuffed idlis are dunked in pakora batter and deep-fried in hot oil. These Idli Pattices are served with oodles of hot liquid sambar and chutney sitting on top of it. At first glance, these Idli Pattices resemble Aloo Bondas. Unfortunately, these are neither Aloo Bondas nor Idlis.

As expected Netizens had mixed reactions to this wild dish. One person commented that Bata-Wada Sambar was a thing. And as long as the dish didn’t have cheese, ketchup or sev, she was willing to try it. To this, Futurewala replied with conviction that cheese would be added in Gujarat. Another person said that among all the worst things to eat shared by the X user, she would probably be ready to give this a try.

Ranvir Shorey Is Shocked Just Like Other Netizens

But actor Ranvir Shorey seemed shocked with this fusion dish. And put a “mind-blown” type emoji. Political commentator Abhijit Iyer Mitra reshared the tweet and wrote “Isse koi peetho-zor se” (Someone beat him up badly). @vishalkmumbai called this dish “absolutely disgusting and unhealthy”. The X user asked, “Why murder two different food items?”

Others were shocked about why anyone would even fry idlis. After all idli is known for being one of the healthiest breakfast options. So, why deep fry it with potato and end up with an overall unhealthy and appalling snack?
