I tried Gujju food, when I had been to Delhi. I found it too sweet! They poured sweet jaggery water into the rice, while I thought it was ghee! But I liked the dal.

When we were in UAE, we too used to had this dal kitchidi (jeera, moong dal and maybe tomato or other spices) in a gujarati restaurant(Anand).

We used to visit there every Monday just for this kitchidi and their Baingan bartha..

Hi apujittu

You can make dhokla from besan flour .. But I do not like it.. it is too smooth for the texture ... I do not make that way..
sorry I do not have the recipe either..

Thank you to Rajsand for the dal recipe. I tried it and it was very good - just the taste I was looking for. And DGunderia, thank you also for the kachumber recipe. I have yet to try it.

Rajsand,

Thanks a lot for the dal recipe. I made it for my son's B'day party and it was a big hit.. Full of flavor but not too hot. My kids ate it too. This is definitely a keeper.

I don't know what Kharekh is and did not use it. Did not use Suran too as I did not have it.

Once Sanjeev Kapoor used a kind of greens called 'Khatti Bhaaji' in a dish- "sindhi sai bhaaji'. The main ingredients were palak, khatti bhaaji, potatoes and chana dhal.
Could someone tell me what is Khatti bhaji called in English and if possible give a breif description of the greens. (when shown on 'Khana khazana' the leaves were finely chopped so I could not make out what they were.)

Hello Rajsand,

Since you are from Gujarat (am i right?), hope you can clear my doubt-got this sweet recipe called sukhadi from one of my Gujarati friend long time back.

This is totally different from the traditional one like basic ingredients wheat flour, jaggery & ghee, they have added ricotta cheese, guntar. Whenever I add cheese, it is getting melted and the wheat flour mixture does not absorb it at all though stir it strongly.

Many south indian sweet recipes which contains ghee use to absorb if you stir the mixture strongly; but, here dont know why-becoz of cheese ?

Since she has moved out of the country, could not keep in touch with my friend.

Hope you or anyone from Gujarat can help me out!!

Thanks in advance.
