In Faisalabad, a local jalebi wala has gone viral after he decided to prepare traditional sweets in a very ‘modern’ way, astonishing both locals and social media users.
The centuries-old practice of making Pipal Bata Jalebi, a popular delicacy in the region, has been given a modern twist with the use of a 3D printer nozzle.
A video circulating on social media shows a local jalebi seller in Faisalabad pouring the delicious jalebi mixture into a deep fryer using the innovative tool. The final result? Perfectly shaped and undoubtedly appetizing jalebis that have caught the attention of many.
Social media has been flooded with reactions to this unique method of making jalebi. Some users have expressed their amazement, while others have turned to humor to capture their amazement. Memes and witty comments have become the norm as people try to understand the fusion of tradition and technology in this culinary endeavor.
A Twitter user couldn’t hide his surprise and exclaimed, “Who the hell would have thought that the nozzle of a 3D printer would be a good idea to make jalebis 😭😭😭”
Meanwhile, another user thought about the implications of such an innovation and asked, “Where can we buy this?” Will add it to our robotic arm! Robotic Jalebi is one of the most important milestones for Singularity!”
However, not everyone was completely convinced by the idea. Some wondered whether the process was still “making” jalebis or just “printing” them. A person who took a more critical stance highlighted the challenges of using melted sugar and ensuring the correct consistency of the dough when using such unconventional methods.
And amid the flurry of reactions, a defensive feeling arose among staunch jalebi enthusiasts, refusing to accept any deviation from the traditional recipe. “Jalebi keh kar, please jalebi ki bejati mat karo. “This is more like Methi Seviaya,” complained one user, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the authenticity of the beloved treat.
While debates continue over the use of 3D printer nozzles in jalebi making, one thing remains certain: the ingenuity of Pakistan’s culinary artists knows no bounds, combining tradition with innovation in unexpected ways.
