I made 2 easy Gujarati Recipes last week, my first time ever! From the title you all know where this is going, right? Yep! Right over to Mythili’s RCI – Gujarati Cuisine. As always I did some research on the state’s cuisine and came across some amazing dishes like Khandvi, Dhokla (both of which I am dying to try, but couldn’t this time cuz of some logistical issues) and mostly sweet and vegetarian dishes. I zeroed in on some easy dishes to make a simple Saturday brunch.

I made a simple meal of Channa Moong Dal, Gujarati Khattay Aloo and Rice.

    It’s a lovely combination. I’m still learning so much about the regional differences in Indian cuisines, and the combination of tamarind, spices and coconut with the aloo is intriguing here. Great site, I’ll be back.
