Is the combination of ‘jalebi and fafda’ the best breakfast combo? This is the reason for the latest debate on social media. It all started when food delivery platform Swiggy shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) saying that jalebi and fafda together are the “best breakfast combo”. The picture shows a plate of crispy and juicy jalebis, served with crunchy, fried fafdas. For those unaware, fafda is a staple Gujarati breakfast prepared with gram flour, celery and black pepper. The breakfast combo also includes some green chillies for a spicy kick. “This is the best breakfast combo. You can’t change my mind (chef’s kiss emoji),” read the caption.

Another suggested, “If just a cutting of tea is added, the pleasure of breakfast doubles. (Just add a cup of cutting tea and the pleasure of breakfast will double.)”

Earlier, the internet was in an uproar after Swiggy recommended eating poha with tomato ketchup. A picture shared by Swiggy on X showed a plate of poha garnished with bhujia, curry leaves and nuts. A large amount of tomato sauce was poured on top, which caused outrage among foodies on X. Along with the post, Swiggy wrote, “The only right way to enjoy poha.”
