Flavored yogurt curry that comes from the colorful Gujrat can be included as soup, starter or main course. The Gujrati kadhi is little different from the Punjabi, Sindhi or Maharashtrian Kadhi that usually comes with bhajiya or pakoda. Gujrati kadhi is warm, mildly sweet and extremely warm to the palate and digestive system. The consistency is not as thick as those regular kadhi, it’s thin and the sweetness comes by adding either sugar or jaggery.

This is the first time i made Khandvi. Though i have heard a lot about this Gujrati delicacy and even tasted a couple of times. Always had a fear to try this as i had been hearing a lot about its tricky technique and method. The ingredients of Khnadvi are so similar to that of khaman dhokla, that can be easily available at home…only the method is different. Level of cooking i would say is difficult. To get those perfect size rolls is a tricky business. If the consistency of the mix is too thin, it wouldn’t roll…and if its…

I have always been fond of Gujrati cuisines, specially the snacks they serve has a wide range of variety. One of their many amazing snacks is “Khatta Dhokla”. It is fermented and steam savory cake made from rice, urad dal along with yogurt. Though i have tried khatta dhokla couple of times and it was a hit in my family as well. But recently i came across a recipe of my co-blogger friend Radha Natrajan S and that is when i immediately decided to lay my hands on them. . The recipe is adapted from Radha Natarjan’s blog http://youreverydaycookradha.blogspot.in/
