Gujarati cuisine is one of the oldest culinary treasures of India. It is primarily vegetarian and offers a wide range of pickles, chutneys, and farsans. What impresses us about Gujarati food is the creative use of vegetables and mild spices on a daily basis. It offers an exquisite blend of flavours where the sweet notes tend to dominate most of the dishes. And it seems like we are not the only ones who are in love with this delectable cuisine. Actress Shraddha Kapoor is giving us good company. Recently, she visited Ahmedabad as she is gearing up for her comeback film Tu Jhooti Mai Makkaar co-starring Ranbir Kapoor.
