In a delightful moment that has captured the attention of social media users around the world, New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon recently tried to make jalebis. The video, shared online, sparked a wave of amused reactions and light-hearted jokes from netizens.
Jalebis are a beloved South Asian sweet known for their intricate spirals and perfectly crisp texture.
The clip shows PM Luxon piping batter into hot oil while attempting to form the coil shapes that make jalebi. His attempts lacked the symmetry seen in the traditional sweet, resulting in quirky, uneven shapes that viewers found both endearing and hilarious.
Sharing the video on the social media platform Instagram, he wrote, “Getting amongst it at the Sikh Games in Takanini this afternoon with local MP @rimanakhlenz. Good luck to all those competing – and to those who end up eating my attempt at making jalebi!”
This candid moment struck a chord online. The video showcased a playful side, humanizing the leader in the eyes of the public.
