Some food combos may seem unusual when you hear of them, but tasting them changes your mind and may just introduce you to a new favourite. Many of us love to experiment in the kitchen and create unlikely yet surprisingly delicious combos. For instance, we may bring together our favourite dishes across cuisines in a unique way and try to eat them together. Recently, one such example of an Indo-Italian fusion went viral on Instagram and got many foodies talking. It features two widely popular delicacies: a pizza and a creamy butter chicken gravy.
