Pakodas are undeniably the go-to appetisers at any desi party or gathering. While some choose to whip up these delectable snacks at home, others opt for the convenience of ordering them online or buying them from local street vendors. Preparing the pakoda batter is a fairly straightforward task, but the key challenge lies in the deep-frying process, which gives these snacks that irresistible taste. A video circulating on Instagram showcases a street vendor in Surat dipping his hand into hot oil while frying bhajiyas. This daring approach has understandably raised eyebrows and concerns among foodies who are left wondering, "Is this really necessary?"

The video shows the vendor preparing bhajiya. He starts creating the batter by mixing gram flour with some greens and water. Then, he proceeds to shape the batter into bhajiyas using his hands before carefully placing them in the hot oil. What truly astounds the viewers is the fact that when he intends to stir the bhajiya in the oil, he employs his bare fingers. The caption of the video reads, "India's Got Talent-10 Bhajiyawala Of Surat.
