Food is the
best thing that has happened to human kind. Imagine a tree full of fruits, ripe
and luscious looking. What if you could pluck them from the trees but could not
eat them? What if you were never designed to chew and swallow and revel in the
flavours bursting and popping and punching in your mouth? How unjust life would
be! Food makes everything better. Do you remember the fit you threw last time
when you were starving and nothing but the delicious dahi kadi could do to make
you feel nice? That’s the power of food. Food preparation varies in different
parts of the country but the most common is gujrati food. Gujrati food is
simple and honest, not to mention absolutely delicious.
The best
place to polish off a fare that is authentic and pure gujrati is a traditional
gujrati home. If you can’t get hold of that, Indian restaurants work
just fine. These restaurants bring gujrat in their midst with their
lip-smacking preparations. When one speaks of a traditional gujrati fare, the
first thing that comes to the mind is the light, golden
dhokla with a moist texture so delicious you could eat your fingers without
even realizing it. But there’s more to it than meets the eye. These restaurants
bring to the patrons a list of dishes so long, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

The staff
looks after the guests in terms of the traditional gujrati hospitality. They
are welcomed warmly into their abode with open arms and showered with lots of
love. The ambience at Indian restaurants is typical of the Indian culture with
dim lighting, grand chandeliers and authentic looking embroidered table cloths
and cushions. This ambience goes well with the Indian food, simple yet

of the rajas and maharajas who feasted upon these delights.

which make it extremely delicious and gives a flavour that is different from
that of regular food. This thali also consists of khichadi
which is a delicious semi solid preparation and buttermilk to wash down the
food. A smattering of farsan makes its way into the thali. Those having a sweet
tooth rejoice! Srikhand and moong dal halwa are a typical gujrati household
dessert. This tempting array of irresistible fare makes everyone salivate and
the best that Gujarat can offer.

Gujrati Food |
Indian
food restaurants have been playing a crucial role
in introducing various cuisines and dishes to the table. Restaurants are the
only place wherein people have the liberty to eat what they wish. AT home due
to lack of supplies it is impossible to invent and ideate new dishes. A
restaurant plays a host and represents every community that is known for its
culinary delights. Indian food is a pastiche of spices, herbs, fruits,
vegetables, meat and other condiments. All these ingredients create an outburst
of flavours that culminate into an aromatic experience. During the weekends,
you will notice a swarm of people flocking to restaurants. In fact it becomes
difficult to gain access to a restaurant during peak hours. The host gives an
option to wait in the queue or find another eatery.
