Gujju All the way!

We Gujaratis are bound to make our name wherever we go. Whether the one who guides the nation towards freedom, the one who guides the state to edge a new height towards progress; it might be by our accent or by the huge variety of our mouth-watering delicacies. Our country is renowned for its food and spices and the diversity of the taste we see among different regional cuisines and We gujaratis have made it to the list. We are are famous for our thepla, khakhra, fafda, jalebi, dhokhla, khaman, haandva, etc.

Our love for food is immense, not only for the home-made food but also for the pizzas, frankies, sandwiches, noodles but many aren’t aware that, since years; we have been altering various dishes according to our taste and health. Not only just changing the taste, mixing and amalgamation of dishes but bringing about a completely different array to choose from. It’s not just about making them but these dishes are famous, widely available and moreover; even the youth prefers it as it has a tint of western cuisine.

The very famous and the one that has been a must dish is Sandwich Dhokla; how easily suji is used instead of bread and is combined with green chatni inside. Then comes Bhakhri pizza; this dish is a home-made speciality and I’m sure all our moms would love it as it is nutritious and even tastes good. We Indians are big time maggi lovers and prefer maggi over any snack whether it’s for breakfast or a midnight snack. Well, here comes Maggi ke bhajiye! Yes, even if you are hearing it for the first time; its pretty famous in our city and available near Prahladnagar. Oh wait, more to come!

We might have read many posts on Gujju tips, most of them constituting of food. Well, many of us actually do what they have been talking about. In winters, we feel hungrier and our dearest mothers already have the backup plan of moochings we love. While watching tv, instead of torritos or nachos with salsa; we might resort to kadak puri with marcha or athana! Some people use thepla instead of the white flour base in Frankie and well, it’s healthier and maintains the taste. And yes, Chaas is a must. There is a default jain item available in almost every dish you ask for; whether its bhaji pav, pizza, vada pav, dabeli, etc. In fact, even jain omelettes are available!

What’s most amusing is the recent subway in Paldi that had to come up with a Jain subway to attract more regional crowd. Well, its funny how these varieties came into place and now many prefer these; over the usual junk food available. We Gujaratis just need new heights to reach and it might be related to anything you talk about, even food!
