Growing up in a typical Gujarati family is one of the things that fascinated me when I booked my Chicago to Ahmedabad flights (ORD to AMD). The first thing that excited me was the availability of cheap flights to Ahmedabad from Chicago. Then the next thing I found interesting was the sound of the names of all the food that people in Ahmedabad cook. Given below are some of the routines that they usually have. The interesting fact about them is that they are always particular about their food habits and they don’t skip their food for anything in the world. The story gets even more exciting once you see the food that is made in the houses of Gujarat and Ahmedabad.
FOOD
Breakfast usually includes items like Thepla, Fafda-Jalebi, Upma, Poha or Khaakra. They are all known for good digestion and contain less fat for any early morning breakfast.
Lunch has a typical north Indian meal but has its own unique taste and texture. Thin rotis, sweet daal, a couple of vegetable curries, curd or buttermilk, and a farsan. Farsan can include patra, dhokla, bhajia, gota, etc. The names may sound dangerously different but the food, once tasted can never be forgotten.
Evenings again include Farsan and people gladly eat it with much satisfaction. You will too if you ever happen to come down from ORD to AMD.
Dinner is usually light and depends on the household. Some might have lunch menu all over again, or otherwise simple stuff like khichdi, vesan or something non-Gujarati like pav-bhaji, dosa, idly, and many more varieties of tiffins.
It is a saying that Gujaratis cannot live without mangoes and that a true Gujarati usually eats mangoes for two complete months as it is a part of their food habits. Mangoes are a very crucial part in their lives. So if you ever want to savor the taste of Ahmedabadi food then make sure you book Chicago to Ahmedabad flights. For any Ahmedabadi, food is not just a way to fill their tummy. It is a way to worship the Almighty and a reward to themselves after the whole day of hard work and progress. If you wish to know more about their lifestyle and the colorful tasty food they eat, then yes a visit to this place is a must.
