The house debates

Arguments we will never finish, lovingly.

Butter on top or ghee inside?: Both. Next question.
Triangle or round?: Triangle traps more layers. Round rolls faster. Fight politely.
Is Nutella paratha allowed?: It is on this website. Your nani may disagree.
Achaar or yogurt?: Achaar for the crunch, yogurt for the mercy.
