Netizens Salivate Over The Deliciousness!
Frankly speaking, just feasting your eyes on this Punjabi thali pic would leave you feeling satiated. After all it’s so lavish and magnanimous that you’d actually need an army to help you finish it. We wonder if Norwegian Diplomat Erik Solheim ended up polishing it by himself or if he needed some extra help!
