Hey I was expecting some new dish. This is regular dish, you can also add peanuts in this, it has a crunchy taste. Also you can add little sugar and serve it with grated or shredded fresh coconut.

This recipe is easy and oh so good. I make it at least four times a week for lunch. Curry leaves are a must to get that delicious flavor. Thank you Hetal and Anuja. I love the choice of recipes you have on your site.

Hi Hetal,
Thank you for introducing me to so many gujju recipes…i am becoming a big fan of gujarati cuisine i have cousins who hail from the state but never knew about vaghrelo bhaath or vaghrelo bhaakri, all we knew was dhokla and khandvi. Last week i had vaghrelo bhakri for breakfast and vagh..bhaath for lunch,i enjoyed it. Do you know how to make Undhyo ( not sure if i spelt it right) its made only during winter, I guess? If you do know then can you feature that sometime?
Keep Going!!!
Shweta
PS: I added dry roasted sesame seeds in the end to give a crunchy edge to this recipe. It tasted great!

Hi Shweta,
Thanks for the feedback! The sesame seeds sound yummy (coming from a SS fan!). The undhiyu recipe is in a R&D phase right now (trying to get the most efficient (read — easy) way of making it).
