| My Mum's Instant Rawa Dhokla | |
I was lucky enough to see my mum make these with extreme ease these holidays and try them out a couple of times to perfect the recipe. This recipe will have you making delightfully soft, fluffy and oh so delicious khaman dhoklas instantly. And since they are made of "Rawa" [Semolina], they are healthier than their Nylon Khaman counterparts which happen to be made up entirely of "Besan" [Gram/Chickpea Flour]. Make these dhoklas for your next potluck or picnic and watch them disappear.

| Gujarati Kadhi [Sweet Yoghurt Curry] | |
This is a truly authentic Kadhi [Yoghurt Curry] recipe handed down to me by my mom. Anyone who has tasted her Kadhi will tell you that there is something extra special about its rich, creamy consistency and delightful sweet and sour taste. I make this quite often and although I am very pleased with the result, it doesn't compare to the beautiful 'Kadhi' my mom makes.

| Lapsi | |
Lapsi or 'Fada Lapsi' as it is called in Western India, is known as 'Dalia'[Daliya] to me ever since I was a kid. It is essentially a porridge made of bulgar wheat and jaggery to mark auspicious ocassions in the Gujarati Community. Try giving this to your kids with cold milk instead of cereal for breakfast for a change.

| Tuver Ni Daal [Red Lentil Daal] | |
One of Gujarat's most popular daals[dhaal,dal,dhal] and a base for the delightful 'daal dhokdi', this is my husband's favourite. I always make it in large quantities because it freezes well. Mango Pickle and Papad [papadums] go deliciously well with this simple homedmade 'daal-chaawal' meal.

| Patra [Savoury, Steamed Leaf Rolls] | |
Patra is a Gujarati specialty; full of flavour, smokey and spicy. The chief ingredient for the recipe and the way the dish is prepared is extremely interesting to watch. When I was small, I used to believe that the colocassia leaves were actually lotus pads, they were so huge.

| Khandvi [Steamed Gram Flour Snack] | |
A delicately flavoured and traditionally Gujarati Farsan [Snack] with a method of preparation which uniquely its own, Khandvi can seem daunting at first. But fret not! Even if you don't manage to spread it thinly enough for the delicate rolls, you can always cut up thick layers into squares or diamond shapes, a la-dhokla.
