RPG Enterprises Chairman, Harsh Goenka has shared a snippet of a menu card with weird names of our favourite South Indian dishes on X and it has gone viral. Besides dosa, the menu also mentions vada sambhar as dunked doughnut delight and idli sambhar as dunked rice cake delight. Goenka captioned the post saying, 'Who knew vada, idli, and dosa could sound so fancy? With these strange names khaane ka mazaa khatam! Agree?'
