“I really don’t understand the hype around rajma chawal.To be honest, it gives me acidity and gas.Why people love to brag about eating rajma chawal is beyond me.Kadhi chawal really doesn’t taste all that special either.”2.

“Giant burgersGiant vada pavs.Giant jalebis.Giant anything in general to be honest.How am I supposed to bite into that? It’s ridiculous.I am not a snake, my jaw doesn’t unhinge.

The entire point of things like a burger is that you can eat it with your handsIf I can’t, you failed at making a burger.”3.Pav Bhaji

The only reason you should ever be eating activated charcoal is if you’ve got gas, or have overdosed on something, after talking to your doctor!”5Cheesy Delights

Tests found aluminum, lead, cadmium, and a few other metals in samples bought from shopsIt can actually be hazardous to health!”8.Dal Bati Image credit: Shutterstock “For me, it has to be dal bati.The number of people who have hyped up this dish for me is unreal.But it has brutally disappointed me every time.I have tried it at the best vegetarian hotels, friends’ homes, a traditional Marwari wedding, etc.Perhaps it just doesn’t suit my taste but I definitely felt it is very overrated.”Do you agree with these or are you ready to fight for the dishes you love?
