Shabana Azmi recently hosted a lavish feast for her "Gujju friends" (Gujarati friends), and it looks simply mouth-watering. The veteran actress keeps dropping sneak peeks into her food diaries. However, the recent gathering at her residence featured many popular Indian street foods, such as chaat and pani puri. She shared a lovely image from the feast on Instagram, giving a peek inside. In the wide array of Indian dishes, we can spot small steel bowls and plates served with puris for pani puri, chutneys, and fillings.
On the same table, there were also a few bowls containing curries and what appeared to be dal (lentil soup) for the base of the chaat. Various fried snacks, possibly Farsan (Gujarati snacks), samosas, papad, a green salad and more were part of the same extensive, multi-course Gujarati feast.
“When you have so many Gujju friends, you end up serving chaat and pani puri even at Sukoon!!!” reads her caption. Well, feasts with loved ones are always close to the heart. However, it is unclear from her note whether she was referring to her abode in Khandala, a hill station in the Western Ghats of Maharashtra, named Sukoon, or to finding peace after the lavish feast with her close ones.
