Surat Vendor's Cheese-Filled Dish Goes Viral
Introduction
India’s vibrant street food culture never fails to surprise, and a recent dish from Surat, Gujarat, has certainly turned heads. A viral video shared on Instagram by the page @foodie_incarnate shows a street vendor preparing an extremely cheesy sabzi, now known as ‘Cheese Anguri.’ The dish, loaded with processed cheese, has divided opinions online, with some embracing the creativity while others are left puzzled.
What is 'Cheese Anguri'?
In the video, the vendor starts by chopping large blocks of Amul-processed cheese into cubes, then shredded over a base of rich butter and cream gravy. To make it even cheesier, additional cheese cubes are placed on top, and the dish is finished with a drizzle of cream. While cheese lovers may find this appealing, the sheer quantity of cheese has left many wondering if it’s too much.

One user joked, “This looks like a heart attack waiting to happen,” while another commented, “Why would you ruin a good sabzi with so much cheese?”
Despite the criticism, some users defended the vendor’s creativity. One commenter said, “It’s not my preference, but I appreciate the innovation!” Another added, “I’d try it just for the experience!”
Is a Culinary Experiment Worth ?
Whether you love the idea or are put off by the excess, Cheese Anguri is an example of how Indian street food continues to evolve and push boundaries.
