Gujarati Thali with ladoo to celebrate Ganesh Chat Gujarati Thali with ladoo to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi. On the plate: Puri (fried flat bread) Rice Carrot raita Potato and eggplant shaak Ranguni Vaal (butter beans) Gujarati dal Whole wheat flour and jaggery ladoo This plate of food takes me right back to my childhood and Ganesh Chaturthi festivities. Our extended family would get together on that day and this is the meal my mother and aunts would cook on that day. This meal was favorite of my father and uncles. One of my aunt was expert in making ladoo. She will form laddoo, roll in white poppy seeds and slap on a plate called “kathrot”. Not a single one will break. My sisters, cousins and I have learned so much from them which can never be learned any other way. Happy Ganesh Chaturthi. #puri #rice #dal #butterbeans #eggplant #potatoes #carrot #yogurt #raita #gujaratifood #jaggery
