Fusion dishes in India can stir some wild debates! While the concept is innovative, it sure has spoilt some of our beloved dishes that make us wary of this concept altogether! That was until recently when we came across this post on X (formerly Twitter). An X user posted about a Podi Cream Cheese Bagel that he spotted in a restaurant and it has stirred quite a conversation online. Surprisingly, the dish has not received as much hate as most fusion food does! Read on to know what the dish is and what Netizens have to say about it!

X user, @nishanth_who, recently showed the internet a dish called Podi Cream Cheese Bagel. Being served at Starbucks, this dish has caused a stir on the internet, and surprisingly, it’s not all hate! The man posted the dish with the caption, “I have seen things you people wouldn’t believe…” and he didn’t seem too impressed with the dish.
The dish is basically cream cheese mixed together with podi – popular South Indian masala – generously applied on a sesame bagel. Many Netizens agreed that while the dish isn’t conventional, it doesn’t sound too bad either.

Some of the commenters have actually tried the dish and here’s what they had to say.
Though the idea of it seems nice, the execution wasn’t that great. It tasted below normal/ boring.
