Gujarat’s culture and legacy are, without a doubt, among the most diverse in the country. The state’s colourful culture and heritage can never fail to entertain you, from its famed sparkling diamond jewellery and mirror work to gorgeous dandiya raas and garba. How can we discuss Gujarati culture without mentioning its delectable cuisine?

Gujarat’s flavorful cuisines are among the country’s oldest culinary gems, as it is predominantly vegetarian. The state provides a range of vegetarian foods that are made in a variety of cooking techniques and are always rich in nutritional content. So, without further ado, let’s embark on a delectable tour of Gujarati cuisine:

Khandvi
This soft, mushy, light, and delectable snack is one of Gujaratis’ favourite morning foods. It is also known as Patuli and Dahivadi and has a very light texture. This rolling, brilliant yellow snack made from gramme flour is served with chutney.

Undhiyu
This is a mixed vegetable meal cooked in a clay pot that is highly healthful and filling. Brinjals, surti papdi, potatoes, coconut, bananas, and methi are among the vegetables used in this meal.

Handvo
It’s a savoury tea cake that’s crunchy on the surface yet soft on the inside. This is a nutritious combination of bottle gourd, buttermilk, flour, coriander, chillies, lentils, and rice. Furthermore, it is served with chutney to improve the flavour.

Patra
It is a popular snack prepared from colocasia leaves on which a smooth gramme flour paste with spicy, sweet, and sour flavours is placed before being rolled and steamed. It is regarded as one of the healthiest snacks.
