 +A winter vegetable medley, cooked upside down (undhu) in earthen pots. It includes purple yam, bananas, methi muthia, surti papdi, and is slow-cooked with oil and spices. Complex and festive! [([[https://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/undhiyu-recipe-gujarati-undhiyu-recipe/|Veg Recipes of India]])]
 +
 +==== Handvo ====
 +A savory fermented rice-lentil cake with bottle gourd and sesame crust. Crisp on the outside, fluffy inside — often served with chutney or yogurt. [([[https://hungryhindu.com/recipe/handvo-lentil-cake/|Hungry Hindu]])]
 +
 +==== Thepla ====
 +Thin, soft fenugreek-spiced flatbreads made with wheat, besan, and spices. Travel-friendly and loved across generations. [([[https://delishglobe.com/recipe/indian-methi-thepla-fenugreek-flatbread/|DelishGlobe]])]

 +==== Kachri Bateta ====
 +A fiery Kathiawadi-style potato stir-fry with crushed spices, garlic, and a generous dose of chili. Humble but bold. [([[https://mayuris-jikoni.com/2021/03/14/58-kachri-bateta/|Mayuri's Jikoni]])]
 +
 +==== Patra (Alu Vadi) ====
 +Colocasia leaves smeared with spiced besan paste, rolled, steamed, then pan-fried. Savory, slightly sweet, tangy, and utterly addictive. [([[https://cookilicious.com/pathrode-patra-colcassia-rolls/|Cookilicious]])]
 +
 +==== Locho ====
 +A street food from Surat, made from steamed gram flour batter that turns into a loose, dumpling-like mass. Served with sev, onions, and chutneys. [([[https://milkandcardamom.com/2019/04/11/surti-locho/|Milk and Cardamon]])]
 +
 +==== Dal Dhokli ====
 +A hearty dish where wheat flour dumpling strips are simmered in a sweet-tangy dal. It’s like Gujarati pasta soup — comfort in a bowl! [([[https://holycowvegan.net/dal-dhokli-recipe/|Holy Cow Vegan]])]
 +
 +==== Bharela Ringan ====
 +Baby eggplants stuffed with ground peanuts, coconut, and jaggery, simmered until soft. Sweet, nutty, and spicy — a culinary trifecta. [([[https://feastwithsafiya.com/bharela-ringan-nu-shaak-stuffed-eggplant/|Feast With Safiya]])]

 +==== Fafda Jalebi ====

 +
 +==== Turiya Patra Nu Shaak ====
