2. Maggi with chocolate sauce: Sweet chocolate poured over spicy noodles sounds like a mistake. But some people swear the sugar balances the masala. It’s confusing, slightly unsettling, and impossible to forget.

3. Ice cream with achar: Cold ice cream meets sharp, spicy pickle in the same bite. The contrast is intense and not exactly comforting. Still, fans say that clash is the whole point.

4. Pani Puri with vodka: The flavoured water is replaced with vodka. That’s it. Street food energy, party logic. Fun for one round, risky after that.

5. Gulab Jamun with bun: A syrup-soaked gulab jamun tucked inside a soft bun. It’s heavy, very sweet, and unapologetic. Dessert disguised as a snack you didn’t ask for.

6. Maggi milkshake: Cooked Maggi blended with milk until smooth. The spices don’t disappear, they just get colder. This one exists purely to challenge your sense of food.
