Are you craving a savory crepe made from fermented lentils and rice? Confused? Well, I just described a dosa in a fancy way. A lot of times, Indian dishes are explained to foreigners in English and the results can be quite hilarious.
Recently, a twitter user, shared a picture of sheer khurma but called it white sauce pasta. Saying that it’s her favorite dish, the user left many people laughing at the savory name for the Indian sweet dish. Not only that, but many others also started sharing pictures of desi dishes with hilarious English names.
