Would You Try A Medu Vada Noodle Burger? This Vendors Recipe Is the Internets New Obsession
It's not a burger. It's not a noodle roll. It's not just a vada either. Somewhere in Maharashtra, a street food vendor has decided to throw all logic - and tradition - straight into the frying pan. In a video that's now making the rounds on Instagram, we see him take the classic medu vada, that doughnut-shaped South Indian deep-fried snack made with urad dal, and give it a makeover that no one asked for—but everyone's curious about. Here's what happens: the piping hot medu vada is crisped to golden perfection and placed on a plate. Nothing suspicious so far. Then, with surgical precision, the vendor slices the vada horizontally - yes, like a burger bun. Also Read: Viral Recipe: This 2-Ingredient Bagel Recipe Is The Homemade Treat You Deserve He slathers the inside with a red, spicy-looking chutney. Then comes a tangle of masala noodles, stuffed right between the vada halves. And just when you think it's over, he adds a generous squiggle of mayonnaise over the noodles—turning this classic snack into a full-blown street-style burger. But wait, there's more. He plates the stuffed vada burger with a ladle of steaming hot sambhar and a side of creamy coconut chutney. Because, why not? It's weird. It's wild. But it's also kind of… wonderful? A medu vada-turned-burger packed with noodles and mayo might sound like a fever dream, but many are calling it oddly genius. In a time when food experiments often border on chaos, this one is definitely drawing eyeballs and hunger pangs. View this post on Instagram A post shared by thegreatindianfoodie (@thegreatindianfoodie) Instagram users had a lot to say about this eccentric creation. One joked, 'My South Indian ancestors just fainted. But I want to try it,' while another called it 'either a disaster or a masterpiece. No in-between.' Someone else confessed, 'You had me till the mayo, bro.' Amid all the banter, a user praised the vendor, saying, 'Street food vendors are the real innovators.' Another added, 'First it was vada pav, now it's vada burger. What next?' A foodie chimed in with, 'Not going to lie, I want this for breakfast tomorrow,' and someone quipped, 'Medu vada, but make it Gen Z.' The most relatable perhaps was, 'This is the kind of chaos I live for.' In a country where street food is both an emotion and an ever-evolving invention, this medu vada burger might just be the newest chapter in the street food diaries. You may love it. You may hate it. But you will talk about it.

India's highest paid actress, second most followed celebrity investor, yet no Bollywood film in 5 years- Find out who
At a time when equal pay in the film industry is still a hot topic, this actress has broken barriers by out-earning many of her male counterparts with a staggering ₹ 30 crore fee for her upcoming film. She's also emerged as one of the most followed celebrity investors of the year. Yet, despite all this success, she hasn't appeared on the Indian big screen in not one, but five whole years. Can you guess who she is? According to the 2025 Candere Hurun India Women Leaders list, Priyanka Chopra is the second most followed celebrity investor on the list, only slightly behind the topper, Shraddha Kapoor with 94.1 million followers. Priyanka has 92.4 million followers online as per the list; 92.3 million alone on Instagram and 27.2 million on X, formerly Twitter. The list mentioned, 'Priyanka Chopra, 42, with 92.4 million followers, is a global icon and the Co-founder of Purple Pebble Pictures, a production company. She is also the Co-founder of Anomaly Haircare, a brand known for its high-quality, sustainable hair care products. With her entrepreneurial spirit and global reach, Priyanka has expanded her influence beyond acting, making a significant mark in the entertainment and beauty industries.' Reportedly, Priyanka's total net worth is said to be around ₹ 650 crore. She was last seen in the short film, We Are One Family as herself in 2020. However, her last full length role in a Bollywood film was in the movie, The Sky Is Pink, released in 2019. She is set to mark her comeback in Indian cinema with filmmaker SS Rajamouli's next tentatively titled, SSMB29. It also has Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, Priyanka Chopra has charged a massive ₹ 30 crore for the Rajamouli film, becoming the highest-paid actress in Indian cinema. A source told the portal previously, 'This is why they took so long to announce her participation in the project. She was not willing to budge over her fee, and why should she? Why should only the men actors get double-digit salaries in our films?" Notably, while ₹ 30 crore is a record-breaking paycheck for an Indian actress, Priyanka has earned even more internationally. Now based out of Los Angeles with husband Nick Jonas, she reportedly took home $5 million (over ₹ 41 crore) for her role in Amazon Prime Video's Citadel, as per Hindustan Times. With her recent ₹ 30 crore deal for the pan-India film, Priyanka Chopra has officially surpassed Deepika Padukone to become the highest-paid actress in India. Deepika was the previous highest-earning actress after charging ₹ 20 crore for her role in Kalki 2898 AD.
