Dishes Served At Bhandara

A video from bhandara has been going viral on Instagram which shows all Indian dishes were served to hundreds of people.

Veg Pulao

One of the most soulful foods across Indian cuisines is pulao. Rice cooked with vegetables and meat is also among the easiest recipes to cook a meal for many people in a shorter amount of time. At the bhandara organised by the Ambani family, people were served yellow pulao comprising vegetables like capsicum and carrot.

Gatte Ki Sabzi

The bhandara at Antilia was a mix of delicacies across the states of India. One of the curries served to people was gatte ki sabzi, a popular Rajasthani curry made with gatte and tomato-onion puree. Gatte or gram flour bites are prepared by making a spiced mixture of besan, boiling it, and deep or shallow-frying the bites before immersing them in the sumptuous gravy.

Dhokla

Ambanis are Gujarati, and you cannot think of the regional cuisine without picturing dhokla. The snack is prepared with gram flour and tempered with mustard seeds and slit green chillies. It is a popular snack in Gujarat that does not involve the process of frying. It is, therefore, lightweight and easy on the digestive system.

Paneer Gravy, Raita, And Puri

People were also served paneer gravy at the bhandara organised in Antilia. The curry looked creamy and cooked to perfection. One could also witness chunks of capsicum in it. All these curries were served with soft and puffy puris and mix-veg raita.
