Viral Video of “Chili Halwa” Sparks Curiosity and Confusion Among Social Media Users

Islamabad:Halwa is a popular traditional dish that is usually enjoyed as a sweet treat, with varieties like *carrot halwa*, *pumpkin halwa*, *semolina halwa*, and *lentil halwa* being widely known. However, have you ever heard of *chili halwa*, a dish that might make you cringe just by its name, given the bitter taste that comes to mind?

A video is currently going viral on social media showing a *wedding ceremony* where *chili halwa* is being served. The halwa, made with large green chilies, had a striking green color. The user who recorded the video commented that they had tried all kinds of sweets before but had never seen such a bizarre sweet dish.

The video has left social media users in a state of confusion and amusement. Many have questioned whether the halwa is sweet or spicy, while others joked about what the aftermath of eating chili halwa might be like. One user humorously suggested that the halwa might actually be *mung dal halwa*, with chilies placed on top to prevent anyone from accidentally eating it.

Several users expressed their curiosity, asking, “How does it taste?” while others showed interest in trying it themselves, despite their skepticism.

This incident comes at a time when unusual and unique food experiments are gaining popularity in India, often for the sake of viral views. Just a short while ago, a video from Chandigarh, India, went viral where it was claimed that parathas were being fried in diesel. Additionally, videos showing unusual food combinations like Pepsi being poured into tea, ice cream pakoras, and biryani ice cream also went viral, attracting criticism from many viewers.

As food experimentation continues to captivate social media, the viral success of “chili halwa” only adds to the growing trend of bizarre and eye-catching culinary creations.
