Pakistani Man Prepares Jalebis With 3D Printer Nozzle; Internet Calls It 'Wild'

With the emergence of food vloggers, many bizarre culinary experiments have started coming to light. There are several street vendors, who have become viral for introducing food fusions that one could hardly imagine. This time, a man from Pakistan has taken the internet by storm by demonstrating a modern method of preparing the popular Indian dessert, jalebis. Combining technology with tradition, the person, who runs a sweet shop in the city of Faisalabad, has invented a way of making jalebis by using a 3D printer nozzle.

A tech enthusiast named Aryan Bharat dropped a video of the procedure on X (formerly Twitter), with a caption reading, “Who the hell thought that a 3D printer’s nozzle would be a good idea to make Jalebis.” The post was able to garner massive traction from other users, who could not help appreciating the attempt of the shop owner, who is recognised as Pippal Bata Jalebi Wala in the neighbourhood.

The viral video opens outside a sweet shop where a man can be seen manoeuvring a 3D printer’s nozzle to make the spiral design of jalebis. The method not only boosted the pace of his work but also aided in creating the perfect shape.

Many Indian users were left stunned by the process. While labelling this new invention as “Robotic Jalebi”, one of the viewers asked, “Where can we buy this? Will add it to our robotic arm! Robotic Jalebi is one of the key milestones for singularity.”

Aryan Bharat, who posted the video, dissected the procedure in a subsequent comment as he wrote, “It’s easy. A pump tank food-grade nozzle and pipe with a small circuit. This one is Pakistani. We can make it here too.”

Another viewer commented, “That’s a pretty wild attempt at using a 3D printer nozzle to make jalebis. It’s clear that whoever came up with this idea was feeling adventurous and creative, but perhaps they didn’t fully consider the practicality of it all.”

One user seemed not quite impressed with the new creation as it looked “more like sweet noodles” to him.

Since being shared on the microblogging site, the video has accumulated more than 8,60,000 views while garnering over 8,000 likes.
