TOP 5 MUST-TRY TRADITIONAL GUJARATI DISHES

1. Lilva (Green Peas) Kachori

This delicious appetiser is a great way to get the party started! Similar to momos, lilva kachori are tiny snacks with delicious fillings. This Gujarati favourite is stuffed with a savoury and spicy green pea filling that is served with sweet amchoor chutney for the perfect salty and sweet mouthful. The only problem with these is that it’s impossible to stop eating them!

2. Dhokla

For a tasty, light, and healthy starter, Dhokla ticks all the boxes. It’s a steamed appetiser made from fermented chickpea or rice flour that’s served hot along with a garlic and coriander chutney.

3. Rasawala Aloo

What Gujarati meal would be complete without a potato dish? This decadent dish has a rich red gravy with seasonings and spices that are out of this world. The boiled potatoes absorb the amazing gravy which makes for a truly delicious bite. Don’t forget to grab some roti or naan bread to scoop up every last drop of this tasty gravy.

4. Gujarati Dal

Gujarati dal is a comforting dish made from a delicious mix of toor dal, mustard seeds, green chilies, peanuts, coriander leaves, and tomato that you'll find at every Gujarati wedding feast because it's a tried and true traditional dish of the area.

5. Shrikhand

This sweet dessert dish is made from strained yoghurt and comes in lots of different flavours like mango and pomegranate.
