Bihari Spiced Reindeer Dog

The Bihari Spiced Reindeer Dog differs from the original Swedish Reindeer Dog by incorporating Bihari spices and flavors.

Additionally, the toppings of pickled onions and tangy yogurt sauce add a refreshing and tangy element to the dish, enhancing the overall taste experience.
