When you are low on budget but craving fish, what do you do? Some might save up for the weekend, others might try mock meat. But one genius foodie has come up with the ultimate solution and you may want to do this. The user, in a video shared on Instagram, introduced the most unique dish – “Shakahari (vegetarian) fish.” And no, it’s not soy, paneer or jackfruit but something so simple and hilarious that the internet can’t stop laughing.
The viral clip opens to a plate of desi comfort food – steaming hot dal and rice, mixed together, ready to eat. But, here’s the catch. The surprise comes in when you pay close attention to the plate.

The Big Twist
Alongside the dal-chawal sits something unusual, a hand-drawn fish on a piece of paper. Yes, that is the big twist one would never see coming. Instead of real fish, the foodie placed a fish sketch on the plate and that’s not all. He even pretends to scoop it up with dal and rice, making the scene even more comical, leaving viewers in splits. The video, which is a blend of desi humour and jugaad, serves as a perfect reminder that when you can’t afford non-veg, just draw it.
Netizens React With Hilarious One-Liners
If the video itself wasn’t funny enough, the comment section took things to another level and let’s just say, it was pure comedy gold. Netizens poured in their reactions and one user summed it up perfectly, “Vegetarian fish.” Another joked, “Jinda machlii khaa gyaaa behh (He ate an alive fish).”
Someone else highlighted, “100% veg fish.” A particularly witty comment read, “After falling in love with the veg girlfriend.” And the most hilarious warning came from a user who wrote, “Bhai thoda dhere se dekh kha lena nhi to kata lag jayega gale main (Bro, eat it carefully or you’ll get a fishbone stuck in your throat).”
A person, however, loved the dal rice and added, “That dalbhaat looks delicious. I would prefer that daal bhaal over fish curry.” Someone also said, “Ajeeb type ki garibi.”
These playful one-liners proved once again that desi humour knows no bounds. While the internet is filled with bizarre food experiments, this video comes as simply a dose of entertainment that we need in a day.
