There is no doubt that phuchkas or golgappas are one of the most popular street-side delicacies in India. These crispy treats are made using flour and filled with a mixture of potatoes, chickpeas, sweet chutney, and tangy water, providing a burst of flavour. While most of us love relishing a plate for phuchkas in the evenings, have you ever seen someone offering coriander to a golgappa vendor when they run out of it? Well, a family from Kolkata did just that and even shared a video of the gesture on Instagram. The family, who was disappointed because the vendor had run out of coriander, generously offered him the greens from their home. The video has clocked more than 45 million views.
In the video shared by one of the family members, we can see a person angrily approaching the cart with a container full of coriander, saying, “Dhaniya nahi hai (You don’t have coriander).” Shortly after, another family member takes out coriander from the container and hands it over to the vendor. The man who gets the coriander can later be seen patting the vendor’s back with affection. The text at the top of the video reads, “POV: your family has no social filters.”

“YES, WE GAVE HIM OUR CORIANDER. I’m back to base and back to the phuchka. Winters are all about coriander and he didn’t have any today so my maa and kakima kinda lost it. Rescued by my babia who brought the Tupperware from home. Chaotic scenes all around. But great phuchka,” reads the caption of the video.
After watching the video, people showered appreciation in the comment section.
A user wrote, “What we consider rude is actually their way of showing love and affection.” Another one added, “This is the chaos I need to heal me!” Someone explained the scenario by saying, “This guy seems to be their regular phuchkawala who has run out of coriander. So uncle is showing mock anger and saying, “Dhurr!! Tere Paas to dhaniya nahi hai?!!”, while fetching a box of dhaniya from his home. All in good humour.”
