Gujarati cuisine is unlike any other Indian cuisine. Almost strictly vegetarian, it is traditionally served on silver platters to the accompaniment of rice …In almost every Gujarati recipe, you will expect something sweet, literally! Gujrati Thali is prepared with several shaaks(curry), roti or puris, rice, daal or kadhi, kachumber(salad), papad, raita, chutneys, region’s popular snack and sweet dish. Thali is very tempting and almost hard to stop eating!
Bhakri is a round flat unleavened bread often used in the cuisine of the state of mainly Maharashtra, but also in Gujarat, Goa etc. in India but is also common in western and central India, especially in the states of Rajasthan, Malwa, Goa, and Karnataka. It is coarser than a roti. It can be either soft or hard in texture, similar to Khakhra in respect to hardness. When I want to serve Bhakri with Masala Chai(Indian Tea), I make little crispy but if I wish to serve with Sabji, I make it soft.

Cabbage Muthia is my favorite tea time snack. I love even just as it is during light lunch or serve as a side with main meal. You can take muhias in the lunchbox as well. Muhia has one day of self life but can be refrigerated up to 3-5 days.
In this post, I am going to share how one can manage weekly meal planning. Healthy eating should be easier and stress-free. Meal prep is my biggest secret to consistently eating clean and feeling awesome. With meal prep, you can shop once, cook once, and eat clean all week. That’s where batch cooking comes in. With ample preparation, these make- ahead meals mean you only have to cook once to eat for the week.

Roti has been my the most favorite bread ever since I started eating solid food. My mother shared the memory of Roti with me, when I was a child, I used to be around in …
When people think of okra (also known as “ladies’ fingers”), they often think of a slimy, difficult-to-eat vegetable and so tend to avoid it. While okra is somewhat slimy in texture, those that know how to properly prepare okra think of it as a vegetable that is to be celebrated and enjoyed.
Vegetables are part of my everyday diet. Our family lunch/dinner always have one veg dish to go with our complete meal. Our Gujarati thali sometimes have more than one fresh vegetable sabji. We love dry sabjis with our Gujarati Kadhi or Daal and Roti.
