Gujarat
located in western India and bordering the state of Maharashtra, has
a totally diverse topography with a long coastal line as well as
towering peaks like Saputara and the mountains of Gir. The widespread
desert or the great Rann of Kutch is another topographical variant
in a single state. The various regimes that have ruled this region
in the past have left their mark in the form of art and architecture,
which is a fine blend of Islamic and Hindu craftsmanship. The two
communities have helped this region which gave us great national
leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Vallabhbhai Patel reach the zenith
of architectural excellence.

| Gujrati Cuisines |
In
this blog let us talk more about the taste of Gujarat lying in its
exclusive cuisines. As mentioned earlier, this state in western India
has a long coastline havinghidden treasures of seafood. But
surprisingly the people of Gujarat referred to as Gujaratis prefer
pure vegetarian food. This is due to the deep influence of Jainism in
this region. Jain religion strongly condemns non vegetarian food as
well as the slaughter of animals. So the normal Gujarati food called
Bhojan consists mainly of Roti, Dal, Rice and vegetables. Gujaratis
prefer milk products and sweets hence milk and its by-products thus
obtained during pasteurization are available in huge quantities. The
cuisines differ from place to place in the state but the basic food
habits remain the same. The people of this region prefer side dishes
rather than regular food. Some of the popular side dishes or snacks
in the region are Dhokla, which is made from the combination of rice
and chickpeas. It is consumed in mostly during breakfast. Other
popular dishes of Gujarat are Kachori, Khandvi and khaman. Phaphda,
Sev and Ganthiya are the popular snacks of Gujarat.
