I thought the article was good and would love to try some of the recipes/food. What the article failed to do was explain what Gujarati is...I still don't know...

Kathiawad in Gujarat has another variation of Gujarati food and it is really spicy! Some of the dishes are even spicier than some south Indian food. Most south indian food is not spicy!

It would be great if Mrs. Hajratwala teach some classes in Pleasanton. I am looking for a book which explains how to cook fresh food quickly !! I am Gujarati but making Gujarati food takes too much time.
