If there is one thing the Internet loves, it’s bizarre food mashups. Long gone are the days when taste and tradition were the only things that mattered. Now, it’s all about experimentation, shock value, and the pure joy (or horror) of seeing unexpected ingredients thrown together. We’ve seen it all—ice cream samosas, Maggi milkshakes, and even gulab jamun burgers. But just when you thought things couldn’t get any wilder, a baker has taken the food fusion game to a whole new, almost unthinkable level. Enter Heena Kausar Raad, a chef and baker by profession, she has dared to combine two of India’s most beloved foods—biryani and pani puri.
Yes, you read that right. Individually, they’re absolute icons. But together? That’s a question that has left the internet deeply conflicted.

A now-viral video captures the moment Heena presents her creation to a group of her students. She dramatically uncovers a massive drum of biryani, expecting excitement, but what she gets is visible horror. Their expressions scream one thing: “Please, no.” When she asks if they’re ready to try it, their response is a loud, unanimous “no.”
But Heena, clearly enjoying the moment, bursts into laughter and drops the ultimate teacher’s trump card: “Khana toh padega warna main certificate nahi dungi (You have to eat it, or I won’t give you your certificate)”. The entire room erupts in laughter, making it clear that, while the idea might be outrageous, it’s all in good fun.
Watch the video here:
Leading by example, Heena takes a pani puri, stuffs it with kachumbar—which she explains is a type of raita—and pops it into her mouth. Her students, however, remain unconvinced and judging by the reaction online, they are far from alone.
The comments section is filled with reactions ranging from sheer disbelief to absolute refusal. A user declared, “This is a sin.” Another dramatically wrote, “I will delete Instagram, I think.” And perhaps the most relatable response? “Never will I ever try this in life.”
“Justice for biryani” was the sentiment.
