In the ever-evolving world of street food, culinary creativity often blurs the lines between tradition and experimentation. While fusion cuisine has birthed some brilliant dishes, it occasionally stumbles into controversial territory—especially when unexpected ingredients clash in ways that confound both logic and taste. The latest example? A viral video from Delhi that has left food lovers both curious and horrified: litchi gravy momos.

Posted by Instagram food page, the now-trending clip shows a street vendor preparing this eyebrow-raising delicacy, and the process has drawn as much criticism as it has astonishment. The video, which has garnered over million views, begins like any familiar momo recipe: a sizzling pan of onions, garlic, ginger, tomatoes, and a mix of masalas. But what happens next derails all expectations.

Litchi Gravy Momos

In a jarring twist, the vendor pours in a generous amount of litchi juice—yes, the sweet, fruity kind usually reserved for chilled drinks or desserts. To that, he adds a swirl of fresh cream, a spoonful of mayonnaise, and even chunks of actual litchi fruit. This sugary concoction simmers before being poured over crisp, golden fried momos, transforming a savory street snack into a dessert-gravy hybrid that no one quite saw coming.

The clip captures the moment a food vlogger tastes the final product, visibly unsure of what to make of it. And they’re not alone—comment sections exploded with reactions ranging from amused disbelief to outright dismay. 

Over the years, India’s street food scene has seen its fair share of eccentric combinations—think ice cream-stuffed dosas, Oreo pakoras, and even cola-infused Maggi noodles. These bizarre pairings often find a niche audience, but they also raise important questions: Where should we draw the line between innovation and absurdity? Is every food trend worth trying just for the sake of virality?

Internet Demands SC Intervention 

Following this, netizens bombarded social media with comments against the momos. A social media comment read, "Supreme Court ye sab nahi dekh rahi hai kya? Suo moto cognizance lijiye please." (Ain't the Supreme Court not looking into all this? Please take suo motu cognizance).
