This bizarre, bold, and completely unexpected dish has taken over wedding buffets and, more importantly, social media. At a recent wedding, guests were stunned into silence (probably wondering if it was an elaborate prank). A viral video captured the whole drama: green chilli halwa gleaming with silver foil, a confused woman announcing that she’d never even heard of such a thing, and fellow attendees shaking their heads in disbelief.

The internet, as always, had a field day. One commenter quipped, “Green chillies in dessert? Is this a dare or a dessert?” Another added, “Bro, who eats mirchi when they’re here for mithai?” The skepticism was real, but let’s not forget—every trend starts with some side-eye.

The halwa, a daring concoction of large green chillies and sugar, is both a visual and gastronomic rollercoaster. It’s spicy. It’s sweet. It’s confusing. But most of all, it’s viral! While some guests at the wedding were left scratching their heads, others saw it as a bold reinvention of traditional desserts.
