DHOKLA is a gujarati dish and i love it.
The Gujaratis are one of the best vegetarian cooks. They use the simplest of ingredients and transform a dish into a mouthwatering delicacy. Gujarati cuisine is in many ways unique from other culinary traditions of India. It is one of the few cultures where a majority of people are vegetarians. The vegetarianism have originated from the religious background, ideologies and beliefs.
.Gujarat is known as the land of milk and butter. Therefore yoghurt and buttermilk are an integral part of most of Gujrati dishes.
