Prepare yourself for a new and unusual food trend that’s gaining attention online: ice cream made with bhindi, also known as okra. This peculiar dessert has captured the interest of many thanks to a food vlogger's creative approach. The vlogger, Stephen N’cho, has shared a video on Instagram showcasing his unique recipe, which combines okra with fruits and traditional ice cream ingredients.

In the viral video, Stephen starts by chopping and washing fresh okra. He removes the seeds, blends them with orange zest, and mixes the blend with flour, butter, and other ingredients to create a batter. This batter is then used to make a waffle cone. The vlogger proceeds to mix chopped fruits into the ice cream base, freezes it, and finally scoops the ice cream into the bhindi waffle cone.

The video quickly went viral, amassing nearly 2.5 million views. It sparked a range of reactions from viewers. Some expressed strong disapproval, with one user commenting, “As an Indian, this gave me a mild heart attack,” and another noting, “My Indian mom will not approve.” On the flip side, others were fascinated by the creativity involved. One enthusiastic viewer remarked, “I’ve been silently watching this guy and EVERY TIME he amazes me,”.

This experiment in fusion cuisine follows another quirky trend that surfaced online: Gulab Jamun Dosa. In that video, a street vendor combined traditional dosa with gulab jamun, showcasing a similarly surprising twist on classic dishes.
