Whenever we think of South Indian food, idli is what usually comes to mind. They are commonly enjoyed for breakfast and are loved for their soft and fluffy texture. When paired with piping hot sambar and coconut chutney, nothing can get better. Since the love for it is so great, it has also been subject to experimentation. People are often seen coming up with different recipes and giving their unique twist to it. Schezwan idli, Peppa Pig idli, Apple Idli, Matka Idli are some common examples. Adding to the list, we present to you another such creation that you might have never heard of: Burger Idli. Recently, a video that has been doing the rounds on the internet shows a man making idli just like a burger. The creation has left the online food community quite disappointed.

The clip was shared by X user @mgnayak5. It begins with the vendor slicing a large idli horizontally to make two halves. He then spreads a generous amount of chutney and sprinkles spices on it. After this, he adds mayonnaise and tandoori sauce, followed by chopped onions, capsicum, tomato, beetroot, carrot, and grated cheese. That's not all; he further adds more chutney and mayonnaise and a special masala. Finally, he serves it with a bowl of sambar and coconut chutney on the side. Take a look at the full video here:
