Every city has those dishes that barely get talked about outside, usually because they're a home thing and not really sold anywhere. What's something you grew up eating here that you almost never see on a menu? Would love to hear the stories behind them too, not just the names.

For people working around GIFT City or other office areas in Gandhinagar, how do you handle lunch when you barely get a break? Do you plan ahead, carry something from home, or just wing it each day?
