That was very interesting information especially about using coconut water in Undhiyu!<BR/><BR/>By the way, why did you hide your identity? I would like to know who is the person giving so much valuable insights into Gujju food!The Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03141364930661222842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125121660197544272.post-76211705057665737022008-07-15T16:29:00.000+05:302008-07-15T16:29:00.000+05:30Hey, there are so many farsans - like Khahndvi , D...Hey, there are so many farsans - like Khahndvi , Dhokla, Patra, kachori, khaman etc. Visit any farsan shops in Gujarat or Mumbai (Bombay) and you will not come empty handed.<BR/><BR/>Eating Jalebi - Fafda on the day of Dassera is of special significance ( don't know why ). On Dussera morning you won't get any sweets as everyone asks for Jalebi - Fafda. And, do ask & eat papaiya slices fondly called pu-pum.<BR/><BR/>Undhiyu is a special delicacy & speciality of Surat. It's made mainly during Winter time as papdi veggy is avialble in winters only. Although one can make it without papdi & use pulses instead. But, Undhiyu is best savoured with papdi only. And, yes use sweet Coconut water in preparation of Undhiyu instead of using only plain water. This will give special flavour to Undhiyu. Surat also has other sweet speciality like Ghari and Ghebar.<BR/><BR/>Thepla are special journey meal as it lasts for a week atleast. Use milk instead of water in making dough and it will still last longer.<BR/><BR/>Gujarati food is a vegetarian's heaven.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125121660197544272.post-81043808313818342662008-06-03T18:33:00.000+05:302008-06-03T18:33:00.000+05:30a truly yummy blog.m too a gujju food fan(esp the ...a truly yummy blog.m too a gujju food fan(esp the tasty theplas n nimbu ka achar tht i hve everyday fer lunch,courtesy a gujju friend.(i wonder y m i suddenly feelin so hungree,guess tym fer sm khakras ;))lost_soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00137005746605379469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125121660197544272.post-11165284066041637602008-05-26T19:44:00.000+05:302008-05-26T19:44:00.000+05:30mmmmmmmmmmmm..... awesome post.... forgot khandvi ...mmmmmmmmmmmm..... awesome post.... forgot khandvi though????i m a great fan of tht particular dish...IceMaidenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08667516172075286778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125121660197544272.post-67559795553315362742008-05-23T12:45:00.000+05:302008-05-23T12:45:00.000+05:30@ AbhishekYes I do know of all these delicacies to...@ Abhishek<BR/><BR/>Yes I do know of all these delicacies too but mentioning ALL Gujarati dishes would have made my post look like a thesis; though I agree I completely overlooked the Kathiawadi angle- I should have mentioned about it.
