3. Kathiawadi Thali

This plate can be a bit intimidating. Mostly because the names of these sumptuous Gujrati dishes are so hard to  pronounce. Most of the dishes have a sweet taste to them, even the ones which are supposed to be savory or spicy! Signature dishes include raasawala dhokla, bajra bhakri, methi thepla, kathiawadi akha adad, Gujarati dal, chaas and gol papdi. Phew! Quite a mouthful, no?
