TikTok became a hub for quirky food hacks and viral recipes while it was banned in India. With the app allegedly returning, here’s a quick look at the food trends that caught global attention and how they can fit into Indian kitchens.
Made with whipped egg whites and sugar, this colourful bread went viral. In India, it can be tinted with beetroot, spinach, or turmeric and paired with chutneys.
A block of feta baked with tomatoes turned into an easy pasta. Locally, paneer or kalari can replace feta, with a touch of chilli or kasuri methi for flavour.
Mini pancakes in a bowl with milk or syrup trended worldwide. Here, atta can replace maida, or they can be turned into tiny malpuas served with rabri.
Berries and coconut water made this refreshing bowl popular. In India, papaya, guava, chikoo, and tender coconut water work just as well.
Folding a tortilla into layers of fillings became an easy meal idea. With roti or dosa as the base, aloo masala, paneer tikka, or chutneys make perfect fillings.
