Is there anyone who doesn't love crispy pakodas? Whether it's pyaaz or gobi, this desi delight has its own fanbase. After all, you can prepare this delicious snack in no time. Recently, we stumbled upon a peculiar recipe on Instagram: 'Gulab Pakoda'. Yes, you read that right - fritters made from roses. An Instagram food page posted a video showcasing a vendor preparing gulab pakodas. If you think the vendor used only petals and a few other ingredients, think again. The video begins with the vendor dipping an entire flower into a gram flour batter. After coating it thoroughly, he deep-fries it. What's surprising is that the vendor uses his hands, not a spatula, to carefully remove the fried rose pakoda from the hot oil. Watch the full video below:

Another comment remarked, "Yuck, deep-fried rose? No thanks."

Many disapproved of the experiment, with one frustrated user commenting, "Oreo pakode ke baad ab yahi dekhna baaki tha bhai, cactus ka pakoda bhi banata hoga. [After Oreo pakoda, now we'll probably see cactus pakoda too]."
