Gujarati breakfast recipes | what Gujarati's have for breakfast | Gujarati breakfast item list | Just like every other Indian, even Gujarati’s start their morning with a cup of garma garam Masala Chai or coffee. Apart from that, during winters or monsoon, they prefer hot drinks like Ajwain and Turmeric Milk or Ukado. These healthy drinks help relieve effects of seasonal flu and keeps the body warm. To accompany the morning cup of tea, there are various Gujarati breakfast recipes viz. dry snacks like khakhra, gathiya, fafda and other Gujarati nasta like dhokla, thepla, bhakri.

Gujarati breakfast, Dhokla

Dhokla are spongy savory cakes made by steaming the batter. The batter is generally made by a combination of various dals. You can even enhance the flavor of batter with the addition of chopped vegetables or vegetable puree. It can either be fermented or there are even recipes for instant dhoklas that require no soaking or fermenting. Also, you can find readymade dry mix or readymade batter that aids in making fluffy dhoklas quickly at home. Once steamed, you can even temper them with fragrant ingredients like curry leaves, mustard seeds, asafetida. Dhoklas can be eaten with ghee/oil, green chutney, sweet chutney or garlic chutney.

Make nutrient-rich Chola methi dhokla with the goodness of fenugreek leaves or Soya khaman dhokla with a healthy twist to the traditional Khaman. The tempering added on top of the dhokla after it is cooked is the master stroke!
