Indian food has a wide variety to offer. There are many dishes that a person can taste. And in this never-ending variety of Indian cuisine, we all have one particular dish that we absolutely love.

The newborn’s mother named her daughter “Pakora” as it is one of her favorite foods in the restaurant.
