The video begins with workers straining the water from the cottage cheese, which was kept in huge bowls wrapped in a thin cloth. The cottage cheese was made by heating the milk to kill bacteria, and then acidifying it with a starter culture to convert milk sugar (lactose) into lactic acid. Then, the coagulated milk is drained off, and the solidified form is collected in a container. Following this, khoya, also known as mawa — a creamy, slightly sweet, and nutty ingredient made from dried whole milk is added to the containers.
The two ingredients are then mixed properly, and two spoons of aluminium sulfate are added. Afterwards, the mixture is passed to a cutting machine resulting in equal-sized round balls. Finally, the balls are deep-fried and added to sugar syrup before packaging. They are then appropriately weighed and kept in containers. The content creator shared the video with the caption that read, “Gulab jamun aaise banta hai (This is how Gulab Jamun is made).”
Reactions were quick to follow. One social media user wrote, “Awesome,” Another quipped, “There’s literally flies in there, and they are using bare hands. Disgusting.”
Food videos with unhygienic preparation processes often go viral, leaving social media users triggered about their quality. A while back, we stumbled upon a video of mango juice packaging. Many social media users called it a “Slow poison.” Read on to know more.
