Are you someone foodie like me? I love Indian food and my favourite cuisine is Panjabi food. Deep fried vegetables wrapped in spices to kill can make my day. If you happen to visit India, don’t forget to take back home Indian local food. Indians are so crazy about spices that they have even modified many of the International dishes to match their taste buds. For example, the Pizza with chilli flakes and oregano, deep fried Pasta with red chilli souse and Chinese dishes with Indian tadka.

These are not the names of any place or weapon (as the name might have sound), they are actually local Gujarati food that has gained a reputation across the globe primarily for their name (lol) and then for the taste. So, going back to home after travelling to Gujarat do let your friend know that your tried Khakhras, ghughra, and Theplas. They will be surprised to hear the names.
