So, we all are waiting for the morning of October 15 as many of us will be breaking their nine day-long fast. Most of us who are nothing else but foodies cannot wait to binge on the quintessential Dussehra food, which is none other than fafda-jalebi. As per our traditions, there is some unique food for every festival and, for no apparent reason, we have been bingeing on fafda jalebi to celebrate Lord Ram's victory over Ravana, from the time we definitely do not remember.
There are typically long queues of people outside farsan shops, waiting to buy fafda-jalebi since early morning on Dussehra day. Have you ever wondered how much money is spent on fafda-jalebi just on Dussehra day?
