Gujarati cuisine

Kutchi cuisine is also very simple. Both Kutch and Kathiawar use a lot of red chilies in their dishes. The main dish of this region is Khichdi. Our site has numerous variations and multiple recipes to satiate every tongue which is fond of Khichdi. It is eaten with Kadhi - a spicy gravy made of yoghurt.

Khaman Dhokla, Doodhpak and Shrikhand (eaten with hot fluffy puris) are part of the everyday meal.

There is a specific dietary rule followed in just this foursome combination. Here is what it is. For example, if kadhi is served, then a daal or vaal will also be included. The sweet dish accompanying kadhi will likely be milk or yogurt-based, like doodhpak or shrikhand. In such a meal raita would not be served. Festive meals which serve daal will typically have a wheat-based sweet dish like lapsi or ladu as the sweet accompaniment.

In a similar way, certain combination of spices is used with different foods which aids in digestion.
