Watch: Chef Prepares Smashed Croissant Chole Chaat. Internet Is Not Happy

The Chef begins his preparation process by adding one tablespoon of butter to a tawa. After the butter melts uniformly, he places a croissant on it. Next, he puts a flat iron on top of the croissant so that it gets flattened. If you think it's bizarre, then you are not alone. The chef repeats the process for the other side of the croissant. After it's properly roasted and turns golden-brown, Jaspreet Singh Devgun adds a dollop of yoghurt. Next comes the spicy-tangy chole mixture. To finish the preparation, he drizzles what looks to be mint chutney, saunth (dry ginger) chutney, sprinkles sliced onions, pomegranate seeds and crunchy sev. That's it! Smashed Croissant Chole Chaat is ready to be served.

Foodies queued up in the comments section, with a majority expressing their displeasure with this fusion.
"The true 'Prashant'" wrote a user, referring to the viral meme where a young boy humorously mispronounced croissant as Prashant.
Echoing a similar sentiment, another commented, "Prashant chat."
"Hair straightener ka koi recipe bataeye (Please share a recipe for hair straightening)," read a sarcastic remark.
This person's humorous reaction was, "We need police here, this was a barbaric murder of both croissant and chaat."
"I am an Indian but am crying with the French," admitted a disappointed individual.

BTS Creator Bang Si-hyuk Just Donated Over ₹62 Crore For THIS Reason
A K-pop Legend's Mega Donation-And It's Not Just About Music What's the first thing that pops into your head when you hear "Bang Si-hyuk"? For most of us, it's BTS, chart-topping hits, and K-pop domination. But this time, the "Father of BTS" is making headlines for something way bigger than music-he's just crossed a whopping ₹62 crore in total donations, and his latest move is all about giving back to his roots. In January 2023, Bang Si-hyuk dropped a cool 50 crore KRW (that's about ₹31 crore, for those counting) to his alma mater, Seoul National University (SNU), to help rebuild its iconic cultural center. Picture this: a massive, modern complex with a 1,000-seat concert hall, a black box theater, art galleries, and community spaces-all set to open by late 2028. Basically, it's like turning your old college auditorium into the next big thing for creative minds. And while most of us are still figuring out how to split the bill at the canteen, Bang is out here making sure future students have a place to dream big, jam, and maybe even start the next BTS. Not a One-Time Thing-Bang's Philanthropy Is On Another Level If you're thinking this is just a one-off PR stunt, think again. Since 2020, Bang Si-hyuk's total donations have topped 100 crore KRW (over ₹62 crore!). Here's a quick breakdown that'll make your head spin: In June 2022, he gave 50 crore KRW (about ₹31 crore) to a welfare fund supporting girls' education and independence, helping over 1,400 young women chase their dreams. He's also backed SNU's business school startup fund with 2 crore KRW (roughly ₹12.5 lakh), using prize money from a global innovation award. When earthquakes hit Turkey and Syria in 2023, Bang sent 2 crore KRW (₹12.5 lakh) for emergency relief. And for all the music nerds out there, he donated 50 lakh KRW (₹3.1 lakh) to a scholarship fund for up-and-coming musicians. This isn't just "rich guy gives money." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo It's a full-on mission to build a cycle where today's dreamers become tomorrow's givers. Why This Hits Home-And What Indian Youth Can Relate To Let's be real: most of us grew up in schools or colleges where the "cultural center" was just a dusty hall with a broken mic. Imagine if someone from your college-say, a T-Series CEO or a Bollywood legend-came back and built a world-class creative hub for students. That's the level Bang is operating on. His reason? He says the support he got from society helped him grow, so now he wants to pay it forward. He hopes his juniors will chase dreams based on their own logic, not just what society expects, and then give back when they make it big. It's the kind of cycle we wish we saw more in our own colleges-where alumni don't just show up for a photo op, but actually change the game for the next generation. More Than Just Money-A Message for Every Dreamer Bang Si-hyuk's story isn't just about the money. It's about remembering where you came from, breaking the mold, and making sure the ladder you climbed is still there for others. In a country obsessed with K-pop, he's showing that real legacy is built on giving back, not just topping charts. And honestly, whether you're hustling for that engineering seat or dreaming of your own startup, isn't that the kind of alumni we all wish we had? If you ever needed proof that one person's success can spark a chain reaction for thousands, Bang Si-hyuk just gave it to us-no autotune required.

The Hunt – The Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Case review: Gripping series gives ringside view of CBI investigation, hews close to what happened
On May 21, 1991, a blast in Sriperumbudur decimated Rajiv Gandhi, as he bent to receive a garland from an eager woman who had inveigled herself into the receiving line. The hunt for the killers occupied frenzied column inches in the press as well as a special investigation team (SIT), as they examined the fragments of bone and body gathered from the site, well-trampled upon by shell-shocked survivors, and morbid bystanders. In one of those miraculous breakthroughs that helped track the assassins, a Chinon camera was found intact in the jumble of bloody clothing fragments and footwear. It had captured a series of telling images, and the investigators got their first lead, which eventually led them to uncover the plot hatched by a group of LTTE militants who blamed the former prime minister (Rajiv Kumar) for sending Indian forces into Sri Lanka which they believed was anti-Eelam, a movement born to form a Tamil state in the island nation. The seven-episode SonyLiv series, based on journalist Anirudhya Mitra's book 'Ninety Days', and directed by Nagesh Kukunoor, gives us a ringside view of the CBI investigation, zig-zagging between parallel tracks of the hunters and the hunted. In one, we see the painstaking, dogged attempts of the pursuit by the team led by D R Karthikeyan (Amit Sial), Amit Varma (Sahil Vaid), Amod Kant (Danish Iqbal), K Ragothaman (Bagavathi Perumal), Radhagovind Raju (Girish Sharma) and Captain Ravindran (Vidyuth Garg). In the other, we get a close look at those who were involved in the conspiracy, from LTTE sympathisers to the actual assassins, led by the one-eyed, chain-smoking Sivarasan (Shafeeq Mustafa). His single-minded focus is shared by his companions, which include Nalini (Anjana Balaji), Subha (Gouri Padmakumar), and Dhanu (Shruti Jayan) who becomes the human bomb. They are all convincing zealots. Those with long memories will recall the struggle to document minus sensation: the photos we saw in the papers the following day (and later on the cover of newsmagazine India Today) only hinted at the patched-up remains of the body which was literally blown apart. That's the tone that the show, written by Kukunoor, Rohit Banawalikar and Sriram Rajan, tries to keep to, and succeeds in most part. That's also the reason why, sometimes, it feels as if it is in a loop, because that's exactly what happens: yes, the chase is on, with on-going leads and false trails, capturing the stop-and-start nature and the enormous difficulties of the investigation — like finding a needle in a haystack, as a character puts it. Watch The Hunt – The Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Case trailer here: For the most part, The Hunt stays gripping, never taking its eyes off the ball for too long, while giving us the impression of hewing close to what happened, before, after and on the day of the assassination. Kukunoor's direction (he is also the showrunner) is solid. So is the uniformly impressive cast: Amit Sial is excellent, navigating the treacherous waters of officialese as well as the on-ground grunt work, the show leaving us with a controversial peg — did he delay the final assault on the assassins because he was the kind of punctilious officer who would wait for orders 'from above', or was there something more to it? So is Vaid: good to see him not doing the hero's BFF sort of role, for a change, as well as the other members of the team. The actors who play the LTTE activists-and-assassins are all scarily persuasive, and it is apt to hear them speaking in Tamil, with those on their trail trying to weed them out by their 'Lankan accent'. There have been other films and shows revolving around the Rajiv Gandhi assassination: Shoojit Sircar's 'Madras Cafe', starring John Abraham as the intelligence officer who gets embroiled in the case; Mani Ratnam's Kannathil Muthamithal shows us how the potential recruits were trained for armed conflict, just as they are here. It also comes up in an edition of Raj and DK's 'The Family Man', but not in as much detail as this one. 'The Hunt' is a welcome addition to shows looking back at recent times, which attempt to pin-point historical and political flashpoints in India with archival documentary footage. But it's hard to overlook the constant irritating disclaimers against smoking and drinking: given that Sivarasan is never without a cigarette in hand, his appearance is invariably accompanied by that squiggle. And even in a show about an era which is truly done and dusted, you can see the footprints of silly censorship: in one frame, you can see the The Hindu, the biggest newspaper (prakhyat akhbaar, as it is described) of the South, being called something else (was it Bharat news?); in another, in the mention of Madras Press Club, the first word is muted. Whatever. All we can do is to ignore, and soldier on, just like the team which cracked one of the toughest cases in modern India. The Hunt – The Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Case cast: Amit Sial, Sahil Vaid, Danish Iqbal, Vidyuth Garg, Shafeeq Mustafa, Gouri Padmakumar, Bagavathi Perumal, Saurabh Dubey, Rajiv Kumar, Shrutie Jayan, Anjana Balaji The Hunt – The Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Case director: Nagesh Kukunoor The Hunt – The Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Case rating: 3.5 stars
