With the onset of the monsoon season in India, the craving for hot, spicy pakodas (fritters) becomes irresistible. As the rain pours down, there’s nothing like enjoying these savory treats made from potatoes, onions, chilies, and various other vegetables. However, the latest trend in unusual culinary experiments has brought fruit-based pakodas into the spotlight. Recently, a video featuring banana fritters went viral, leaving food enthusiasts shocked.
The video, shared by @crispyfoodstation, starts with two people engaging in an unusual banana fritter-making process. To the surprise of many, they begin by putting a whole bunch of bananas, still connected at the stem and with peels on, into a pot of hot oil.

As expected, the video provoked a wave of disgust among food lovers. Comments poured in, with many expressing dismay at turning a healthy fruit into a greasy snack. Criticism ranged from concerns about the double-frying method to potential health risks. One user remarked, ‘How to turn a healthy meal into a heart attack,’ while another added, ‘Well… that’s another way to ruin a perfectly good fruit.’
A third commenter questioned, ‘What’s the sense of frying them with the peels on?’ while a fourth chimed in, ‘The first step is so unnecessary.’
Despite the overwhelming disapproval from viewers, the reel garnered around 25 million views, showing how even the most bizarre food trends capture widespread attention.
