India is a diverse country and has a variety of tasty cuisine wherever we go and has a flavor that is very unique on its own. One of the cuisines which have a unique flavor and taste is Gujarati Cuisine which is nutritionally rich, delicious and has fewer spices in it. Dhokla with moong dal has a delicious flavor.
