What to eat where in Indore?

Sarafa

Joshiji ka dahiwada Relishing on a dahiwada here is not just about the taste, but it’s also about the experience of watching its preparation by the person at the shop. The one preparing it is surely a performer as he flips the dahiwada with the curd without spilling a drop. After pouring some curd into the bowl, he will sprinkle five spices using just one finger without allowing them to mix together. Of course, you must make it there before 11pm, otherwise there is no way you will get a dahiwada. As the number of people outweigh so are the number of wadas.
