Gujarati cuisine has blessed us with a plethora of delectable treats. Dhokla, khandvi, thepla, and khakhra have all found their way into our kitchens and have become our own. Despite having a long coastline with various seafoods, the Gujarati cuisine primarily consists of vegetarian dishes made with vegetables, lentils, spices, and various local ingredients. These ingredients also help the Gujarati cuisine to have a character of its own, making it stand out in the lot.
