Among the latest ones grabbing eyeballs online is a viral video showing the preparation of Amritsari Wadiyan, a regional delicacy from North India. In the Instagram reel by @instaepicure, we see a person combining a dough-like mixture with liquid in a machine. Once it has been 'processed,' the dough is mixed with what looks to be a spice blend. This mixture is then shaped into small roundels to give them that distinctive look of wadiyan. Later, they are arranged on huge trays and kept to apparently dry on the roof. They are then cooked in a massive oven. Once done, they are loaded into bags to be stored or transported. Watch the full reel below:
