Kolkata street vendor Fanta anda bhurji sparks debate online, watch viral video

In a surprising culinary experiment, a street vendor has garnered widespread attention online for his unique method of cooking eggs in Fanta, the popular orange-flavored soda. A video shared by Instagram user @foodandstreett (Subrata Samaddar) went viral, garnering an impressive 180 million views. This unconventional recipe from Kolkata has certainly piqued the interest of food enthusiasts on social media.

The user shared the video on Instagram and captioned it: “The most unique cold drink omelette in Kolkata.

In the viral clip, the street vendor first pours an entire bottle of Fanta into a heated pan. Viewers then watch as he cracks six eggs directly into the carbonated drink. After adding a pinch of salt, he stirs the mixture to create a distinctive milky-orange mixture.

While the eggs are cooking, the vendor prepares fresh tomatoes, onions, green chilies and cilantro and adds them to the pan. Once the liquid evaporates, he serves the distinctive dish called “Orange Anda Bhurji” on a traditional leaf plate.

This unconventional recipe elicited different reactions from viewers. Instagram users quickly took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the unusual combination of eggs and a soft drink.

One user humorously remarked, “Well, that's a way to make breakfast and a drink at the same time.” Meanwhile, another commenter expressed his confusion, explaining, “I thought I'd seen everything until today. Fanta with eggs? Seriously?!”

Some viewers found the combination too bizarre. One commenter said, “I think I'll stick with the regular Anda Bhurji, thank you very much.”

One user also said: “No amount of money can convince me to eat this.

Another user commented: “This is what happens when you run out of oil and only have Fanta in the fridge.”
