Harsh Goenka Praises Gujarat’s Special Dabeli
Dabeli is Gujarat’s answer to the burger 😋! A soft pav stuffed with spicy-sweet potato, chutneys, peanuts, sev and pomegranate. Sweet, spicy, crunchy and tangy. I much prefer it to vada pav and burger. Unfortunately most outside of Mumbai and Gujarat are unfamiliar with it! pic.twitter.com/15sW2qgTNw
