Gujarati Thali’s are pride of Gujarat – there’s no doubt
in that. It also depends on how the Thali is in taste and looks. As its rightly
said, first you eat with eyes and then mouth.
I’m fan of Gujarati food but I don’t like sweet things. So
I am very selective when it comes to try traditional Thali’s. My recent visit
to Panchavati Gaurav, a new food joint that serves authentic Gujarati and
Rajasthani Thali, was pleasant one.
As they were filling up the plate, my heart was beating
with joy and at same time wondering how would I finish all the yummy stuff. But
I did. Here’s a brief of what was served in the plate.
Starters:
Trianga Dhokla: Dhokla is a typical Gujarati snack that
is made from either gram flour or Sooji/ semolina. Since, I had gone on 26th
January, the dhokla has pretty tri-colors that are used in our Indian flag.
Just right in spices and taste, they were soft and delicious.
Half – Samosa: This was innovative. A smaller version of
samosa and it was dipped in chutney and sev to give it a crunch. I liked the
fact that it wasn’t too oily. Being a fried snack, I loved its flavors that
were distinctively incorporated as too much oil can dampen the taste. I was
glad it wasn’t so.
Salad: The simple and refreshing cucumber and tomato
salad. Quite a crunch it provided in the entire meal.
Main Course:
The traditional sabzi’s included Moong (whole green gram)
sabzi, Aloo (potatoes) sabzi, and Undhiyu. They all had their authentic flavors
in place and I loved the simplicity it was cooked with. With it was Paneer ki
sabzi that was pure heavenly.
I loved the fact that this place had option of choosing
between traditionally sweet dal or the regular spicy one. I went for other one
as I said I don’t like sweet that much.
Team up with the awesome Khichdi; they
serve – it will complete your meal.
Indian breads like Puri, Roti, and Bajri ki roti topped
with ghee and jaggery. Eat them hot, their softness will capture your heart.
Any Indian meal is incomplete without dessert. In our
plate the dessert was Gulab Jamun, Basundi, and ice-cream.
Overall, the experience was really finger licking good.
The service is quick and efficient. They ensure that every guest is having a good time and they do help you with choices.
