Bengaluru Woman Eats Sushi In Dal-Chawal Style, Video Divides Internet: 'You’re Insulting The Food'

Food experiments on the internet rarely surprise people anymore but this one truly did. A woman from Bengaluru has gone viral for the way she decided to eat sushi, and social media users cannot stop talking about it. Sushi is usually eaten in a very specific way. People gently pick it up with chopsticks, dip it lightly in soy sauce, maybe add a small touch of wasabi, and take a careful bite. It’s all about balance and presentation. But this video shows something completely different.

In the viral video, the woman first places a piece of sushi on her plate using her hands. So far, nothing shocking. But instead of picking it up for a neat bite, she starts crushing it with her fingers. Yes, crushing it. She skips the usual dipping step, too. Rather than lightly dipping the sushi in soy sauce, she pours soy sauce directly on top of the mashed pieces. Then she adds wasabi and mixes everything together properly.

The result looks less like sushi and more like a soft rice mixture, something many viewers compared to dal-chawal. After mixing it well, she eats it with her hands, just like many Indians eat their everyday meals. The video carries the text, "POV: you try sushi for the first time." In the caption, she also wrote, "No offence to Japanese culture, I love sushi."
