Gujarati snacks are the best - ask any foodies and they will confirm. They are the perfect blend of salty and sweet notes. However, except for dhokla and fafda, not many people know about other varieties of Gujarati snacks. Here are a few that you must try.
Dabeli is a Gujarati cousin of Maharashtrian vada pav. Spiced potatoes are added between two slices of a bun and topped with sev, chutneys, and pomegranate seeds.
Ganthiya is a deep-fried crispy snack that you can make at home with gram flour and store for weeks. It pairs well with green chutney.
Muthiya is nothing but steamed dumplings filled with a spiced mixture of methi leaves, bottle gourd, and other vegetables.
You can make sev khamani by crumbling khaman dhokla, adding spices to it along with a topping of sev, and serving with fresh coriander leaves, grated coconut, and anar dana.
Lilva Kachori is made by filling kachori dough with coconut, spices, and pigeon peas filling. The kachoris are deep-fried and served with chutneys.
Patra is a nutritious snack prepared by spreading a spiced mixture of besan over colocasia or taro leaves. They are steamed and tempered with mustard seeds before serving.
