GUJARATI

Gujarati food is the cuisine of the western Indian state of Gujarat. It is known for its unique blend of sweet, spicy, and tangy flavours, as well as its vegetarian and Jain-friendly dishes.

The typical Gujarati thali (platter) consists of several dishes, including roti (flatbread), dal (lentil soup), rice, shaak (vegetable dish), and kadhi (spiced yogurt soup). The shaak can be made with a variety of vegetables, such as okra, eggplant, potatoes, and tomatoes, and is often flavored with a blend of spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and mustard seeds.

Gujarati food also includes a variety of snacks, such as dhokla (steamed chickpea flour cakes), khandvi (gram flour rolls), and fafda (chickpea flour crisps).

Gujarati food is known for its use of jaggery (unrefined cane sugar), which is used to balance out the heat and spice of the dishes. The cuisine also includes a variety of sweets and desserts, such as shrikhand (sweetened yogurt), basundi (sweetened condensed milk), and jalebi (deep-fried wheat flour pretzels soaked in sugar syrup).

Gujarati food is a unique and flavourful cuisine that is enjoyed by people all over the world.
