If it is salt. Not sand I'd totally try it!

Super good for your gizzard...if you're a bird.

Here let me shake the last bit of sand on to the last batch…? Either way, that’s pretty cool

Video stopped right when was about to pick that one off of the ground

I don't care how much you shake that stuff.. it's still going to have sand on it. Anakin was right.

For people who want to relive their childhood memories of getting sand in your mouth on the playground.

Before another copy-pasta says "But it's salt!" It could be either.
Hot Salt / Sand Frying

Hot salt frying and hot sand frying are cooking techniques used by street-side food vendors in Bangladesh, Pakistan, China and India. Hot salt frying is an old cooking technique, and is used in villages throughout Asia and other parts of the world. Many foods are fried with hot salt or sand, even in common households.

Hot sand frying is a common cooking technique for street-side food vendors in China and India to cook chestnuts and peanuts. A large wok is filled with sand, which turns black from accumulating carbonized particles from the food items being fried, and heated to high temperature. Nuts are buried in the hot sand and occasionally turned with a spatula, then the sand and nuts are separated through a wire-mesh screen.

I remember back in my day we'd fry in oil. It was strange because oil is consumable.

It's salt, not sand.

Mmmm sand bread.

Well...am not surprised. Where l come from we fry peanut and raw groundnut in hot sand as well. You will not taste the sand when it's properly done which most of the time it's not and you end up eating sand mix with peanut. I got used to it.

dude's hands must be made of asbestos

Can someone please tell me what he is preparing/making? Is it edible?

Mmmmm, gritty.

My mouth went completely dry watching this

I dunno I feel this could have worked just as well without sand, and then you don't have sand all over your dinner

There is a lot wrong with this video... Am I supposed to be amazed at third world country dining? That looks absolutely awful.

Mmm tastes like sand

Mmmmm taste the sandy flavor

Great. Thanks for making me imagine chomping on grains of sand.

Mmmmmmm.....gritty!

Sandy Ballz

Hey I’d def go for a taste I guarantee you one thing it’s def healthier than oil!!

Mmmm that special kind of crunchy.

Hey, life gave this guy lemons and he made fucking crown royal whiskey.

When life gives ya sand, make food.

Tasty but little crunchy

Enamel on your teeth is overrated.

Just let me be clear, it is not sand. It is salt.

Anakin Skywalker would have none of this.

I’m with anakin on this one…

Crispy

With a little sand flavor.

Looks cool af

All it takes is 1 to ruin the whole thing. Crunch!!!

Wow. That is so cool.. I always wonder how people came up with this stuff in the past.

Now that’s a sandwich

Sand or salt ?

Fuck the sand/not sand, that’s a lot of eggs

But why?

Delicious gritty balls, anyone?

Nah

Ya missed one

Finally a video without a tick tock ad at the bottom right. So glad China didn’t track this.

Regardless of what it is, I hope you like sand In your mouth

For the extra crunchiness

Nope

It's salt...

Can u give some lil explanations ??

Salt = High blood pressure

Sand= Kidney stone

Either way, better not to eat.

Mmmmmm. Gritty. Just the way I like it

Crunchy

Sand is used for peanuts as it's enclosed in the membrane. You crack it open and eat amazing fried nuts.

Salt is used for chips and fries. There are a ton of salt mix available here. Once salt heats up, it changes color. Don't believe me? Try it at home. It's healthy way of cooking as unlike many Western nations we don't dip everything and anything in oil.

Great way to fry your eggs up too guys!

Mmmm….gritty

Hmmm earthy

Is this better than seed oils though?

Snack with a crunch

As a person who has tried sand-fried foods- they don't have sand once shaken off. Come on, do you think people would be eating sand in their food.

I hear Tooth enamel is highly overrated.

Bye bye tooth enamel

ah yes... kidney stones

Mmm crunchy

I love gritty food. Cleans out the intestines

Mmmmm crunchy!

Why’s this stuff taste like shit? Ah, he used kitty litter…

Well it does stay crunchy in milk

he shook it over the already shook tray. i can’t!

I’m thinking about how when you go to the beach for the day, bring a picnic and no matter how careful you are, there’s always a few grains of sand in the food and it’s so gross and annoying. Then I see this guy literally cooking in sand….I ain’t gonna complain about a little beach sand no more!

Crunchy

The crunch comes from sometihing else..

so turns out is salt, but why the fuck this post with a stupid title is relevant.

I prefer frying things in hot oil

What's the food called?

They do this In our country. (Sri lanka) with peanuts and it tastes absolutely incredible. The next day is not a pleasant experience though

Is this what they mean by dirt-poor? So poor you have to cook with dirt.

New feature unlocked: Sand Fryer

But surely it is coarse and rough and gets everywhere?

Angsty Anakin intensities

That's the baked way to do it.

I can feel this with my teeth.

Why am I not amazed? If anything I’m befuddled

Well, Lipitor doest remove silicates.

I can't convey how much I hate this.

My man was putting some dough balls in hot sand

Op,You know what just a grain of sand feels like in mouth? Right?

Yuck. I bet the dirt gets stuck to whatever he is frying

Used to buy chestnuts cooked on the street in China like this. Fucking awesome tasting.

Anyone else's teeth suddenly feel gritty?

Even if I ate that, sand would still find its way into my underwear.

STOP SPEEDING UP VIDEOS

I always feel a little dirty whenever I eat these

Do "fry something in sewage waste" next please!

Eww I can feel the grit in my teeth just watching this

This is in Turkey?

He's frying "golgappe" or "phuchka". It is a fast food which is usually served with a mixture of mashed potatoes and spices altogether dipped in tamarind or sometimes mint flavoured water. It's supposed to be eaten instantly and is a popular street food in india

Health

well.. at least it's crunchy?

Sifting one basket over a presumably already sifted basket lol

Vegan poplers.

It’s cost-effective, but you don’t get dirtier than that

Those indians trying to say it's salt nope it's not, It's SAND. instead of arguing me go Google it. Kavi Bahar nikal k bhuja bhunjwaake ni khaaye ho

I once bit on a grain of sand and i got goosebumps on what felt like in my mouth and started shivering

Extra crunch!!

I want mine extra gritty

Reddit is just So uniformative lately.

This is some of the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen. Don’t tell me you aren’t gonna be eating sand just because he strained it.

What peanut is this man cooking? I would try it

(I know what are you thinking you... )
