Many of us love Oreo Shake, but is there anyone who wishes to try Oreo Pakoda? If yes, then you will have to visit the Ahmedabad eatery that sells Oreo Pakodas.

​Chocolate Maggi

Delhi-based food blogger Chahat Anand created the combination of Maggi topped with ice cream and shared a video of it and in no time it went viral.

​Dry Fruit & Cheese Dosa

The video of Dry Fruit & Cheese Dosa was posted by YouTuber Harry Uppal. As per the video, the vendor first spreads dosa batter on a tawa and then adds butter to it.

Chai Biscuit Popsicle

Mumbai food blogger Mahima posted the bizarre recipe of Chai Biscuit Popsicle. She even called it a “divine combo”. According to the viral post, to make this recipe, you need to crush a packet of biscuit, make chai (using milk, sugar, and tea leaves). Allow it to cool down, then pour the tea in popsicle mould and add a layer of biscuit, cover the lid, freeze and serve!

​Maggi Laddoo

Another recipe of Maggi that went viral in 2021 was Maggi Laddoo. The video was shared on Twitter, but was originally posted on YouTube.
