In a country known for its vibrant street food culture and bold culinary experiments, a new dish has captured the internet’s attention and gastronomic experts. Enter the ‘Skittlelette’: an omelette that includes eggs among other bizarre and unexpected ingredients. Read on!
What Is Skittlelette?
Skittlelette is the latest entrant in the world of bizarre food trends emerging from India’s roadside stalls. The unconventional dish is essentially an omelette but with the wildest of twists that anyone can ever imagine; it features Skittles, Coca-Cola, lime, chips, and coriander all cooked together in one pan.
Originally captured by food vlogger Navite Ty, the making of this colourful yet chaotic recipe has gone viral. The video, which has clocked millions of views across social media platforms, shows the vendor enthusiastically combining ingredients that, frankly, no one ever asked to see on the same plate, let alone eating them.
How Is the Skittlelette made?
The process starts innocently enough on a hot pan with a splash of sizzling Coca-Cola. But things take a strange turn almost immediately.
Here’s the step-by-step breakdown:
Coca-Cola is poured into the pan and heated until it creates bubbles.
Four whole eggs are cracked into Coke, followed by a squeeze of lime juice.
Chopped onions are added for extra crunch.
Another round of Coca-Cola is poured into the pan.
Skittles are sprinkled generously on top.
Green Lays chips are crushed and added to the mix.
A dash of fresh coriander is thrown in for that final touch.
And voilà, Skittlelette is served, all for just ₹129. The dish is then plated, ready for brave souls with adventurous taste buds to test their GUT... Pun intended!
Online reactions: Curiosity meets disgust
The internet’s reaction has been, in a word, divided. While some viewers are intrigued by the vendor’s fearless creativity, others are horrified at what they see as an assault on food. Many users commented on how "wasteful" and "unappetizing" the dish appears, while a few admitted they were weirdly tempted to try it for themselves.
Would you dare to try it?
Fusion food isn’t new, but the Skittlelette may have taken things a step too far. With its sugary base, fizzy texture, and chewy candy bits embedded in scrambled eggs, this is not your average breakfast. So, we ask you: would you be bold enough to take a bite?
