If you ask any Indian from Mumbai who has come to the U.S. in the last 6-8 years they’ll tell you that no one makes the varak that way anymore.

I’m starting to get suspicious of this view as it seems that anything that is talked about on this blog doesn’t actually happen in India according to certain sources.

I’m not eating it.
