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.
