Berhampur, Odisha is my hometown and its famous for three things morning breakfast, street food & silk saris. But coming to caramel pudding only name that comes to my mind is ‘Girijja Restaurant’ of Berhampur, where I was introduced to these caramel pudding. Its one of the oldest restaurant of our place, so locals choose taste over ambience. Other than pudding one can also try their Chicken Pakora.
