Are you able to recall the dialogue from 3 Idiots “Tum Gujarati Log Ka Khana Itna Khatarnak Kyu Hota Hai? Dhokla, Fafda, Handvo, Thepla…Jaise Missiles Hai? Yeah! Names may look like missiles but the taste and smell is something everyone can die for. Do you have any Gujarati friend? If yes, then you can easily relate to the reason why Gujarati can’t go on a diet. Gujarati people breathe their food and even their food is worth it.
