The journey of Indian sushi is a fascinating story of cultural exchange and adaptation. Indian chefs and food lovers have experimented with this Japanese staple, infusing it with flavors and ingredients familiar to Indian taste buds. But we bet you wouldn’t have thought that a Jain version of this delicacy existed. If not, then this X post will surprise you.
Sushi is usually made of rice, seafood, and a variety of other ingredients that you either hate or find unbelievable.
From spicy curry sushi to cheese sushi and even pakora sushi, the variations are varied and creative. However, this interesting twist is “Jain Sushi,” a vegetarian version that replaces the traditional fillings with bell peppers and other plant-based ingredients, and it’s sending shock waves through the internet.
This innovative take on sushi was shared on X by a user named @pavbhajilover, who shared pictures of colorful sushi rolls filled with green peppers.
Take a look:
The photos led one to believe the “sushi” was stuffed with fruit bits and served with sweet chutney. The original poster also shared that this dish was served at a Marwari wedding.
Are you willing to take the plunge and try this “Jain Sushi”?
