Holi celebration is all about colours, fun, and of course, a range of delicious foods. And the dish that we instantly associate with the Holi festival is gujiya. Fried sweetmeat, with a filling of khoya, dry fruits, etc, gujiya defines indulgence. While some people still like making gujiyas at home, some resort to their favourite halwais for the sweet dish. That’s where the food delivery platforms come in handy. With just one click, you get your desired orders right at your doorstep, from any corner of the city. This year, it seems a person from Lucknow went over the top with the love for gujiya and spent over Rs. 28000 on an order from Swiggy. You heard that right.
