Twitter divided over 'chai' flavoured ice-cream served in 'paratha' cone

Experimental food fusion is either a hit or a miss, there is no in-between. Combinations of food items that go viral, do so due to notoriety rather than popularity in most cases. More often than not, netizens end up being repulsed by the amalgamation of two dishes with polar opposite characteristics. 

The latest dish that has caused a ruckus on social media is the re-imagining of chai paratha. An image of spiced chai (tea) ice cream served in a partha cone is now going viral. 

“Chai paratha reimagined, spiced doodh patti ice cream with sugar-laced paratha,” wrote Twitter user Owais Siddiqui and shared two images of the dish.

Naturally, the post sparked a reaction on Twitter with many South Asians going on to slam the dish. 

Siddiqui who posted the initial image defended his dish by explaining how the paratha bodes well with the icecream. " Ok hear me out, this is not a regular parhatta, it's cheeni wala (sugar one), the sugar melts and crisps up when cooled and shaped into a cone, I just wanted the waffle cone experience," he said.

Surprisingly there were those that were not only curious about the dish but had a positive impression of the concept.
