But, meanwhile, a Gujiya made in Lucknow is being discussed more. Because, the taste of many countries around the world has been mixed in this golden Gujiya. You will be surprised to know that it has flavors from South Africa, Afghanistan, Kashmir as well as America, which increases its taste manifold. This is also the most expensive Gujiya in the world.
