The eyebrow-raising concoction surfaced on social media through an Instagram post by @thegreatindianfoodie. The video, shared on November 18, captured the process of integrating apple slices into the idli batter before steaming them to perfection. The finished product, adorned with additional apple slices, was served alongside the customary accompaniments of sambhar and three distinct chutneys.

Since its upload, the video has amassed over 5,000 likes and a flurry of comments, predominantly expressing disbelief and skepticism toward the fusion.

Among the responses, one commenter remarked, “People have become more mad.”

Another quipped, “An apple a day keeps the Doctor away, but this apple idli will keep us in the doctor’s bay.”

Comparisons to the contentious pineapple on pizza debate emerged, with a user drawing parallels, saying, “Feels like pineapple on pizza.”

The divisive combination elicited strong reactions, with a user expressing, “Deadly combination.”

The unconventional marriage of idlis and apples has ignited a wave of opinions, sparking a dialogue on the boundaries of culinary experimentation.
