India thrives on its street food. While some might find the roadside ‘chaat' to be spicy, a vendor in Gujarat's Ahmedabad has taken it a notch higher with ‘fire panipuri'. Yes, go back and read that again.

In a video that went viral on social media, a food blogger can be seen opening her mouth as the vendor feeds her the blazing panipuri. The stuffed panipuri seemed to have camphor in it which was lit up to add the fiery twist.

The blogger Krupali Patel posted the video on her Instagram with the caption, "Okay bye. Fire panipuri in Ahmedabad."

Some netizens, however, were baffled and questioned the blogger's decision of trying the burning snack.

"Just one question, why?" commented one.

"I doubt if this is gonna taste any better," quipped another.

Another bunch of users were scared and wondered if it hurt.

"That flame was on inside the mouth too," posted one.

"Are you ok?", asked another, to which the blogger replied "Ya, I am. It looks scary but wasn't actually."
