Watch: Vlogger's Halwa Experiment With Banana Leaves Doesn't Go As Planned

Desserts after a scrumptious meal are quite common in our country. While sweets, ice creams and cakes are a good choice, most people love a bowl of halwa. This dish is frequently prepared for festivals and special occasions. It is made with a variety of mouthwatering ingredients such as semolina and others. A food enthusiast recently tried to bring some variation to this popular dessert. Instead of the regular ingredients, a food enthusiast used banana leaf. The vlogger tried to make this unique dish and the result was not up to the mark.

The vlogger released a video documenting the recipe on Instagram video. The person first is seen cleaning the banana leaves before removing the stem that runs through the core. Once finished, he flattens, rolls, and cuts the leaves into strips. He blends these strips with a little water to make a green puree. He collects the puree in a handkerchief before straining it. Next, the vlogger heats ghee in a pan and adds the green juice. He also adds sugar, corn flour slurry, and nuts. He cooks the mixture until it thickens to the desired halwa consistency. Finally, he tastes the peculiar dish and it’s clearly visible that he hates it.

So far, the reel has received over 53 million views. Many people commented on his frank response to the banana leaf halwa. A few people come up with clever titles for this unusual dessert.

Netizens praised the vlogger for giving his honest opinion with regard to the taste of this experimental dish. One user said, “Hats off for your honest reaction,” while another stated, “That last reaction is the highlight of this video.”

Looking at the appearance of this dish, some joked, “It looks like you are cooking algae,” “Looking like a potion made by witches in cartoon.” one user also called it, “Chlorophyll Halwa.”

An individual stated that the vlogger would need medical help after eating this, “Next day in hospital due to indigestion.” While another person pointed out, “India is not for beginners.”

Many users who were not happy about the experiment stated, “Stop this nonsensical experiments,” and “Not everything with sugar is edible.”

A person jokingly suggested, “Make halwa with neem leaves next time.” Another one simply stated, “Nahi bhai mein sooji aur gajar ke halwe mein khush hoon.”
