Where to get the Best Undhiyu in Ahmedabad

When it’s winter, a lot of Gujarati kitchens smell of Undhiyu, a popular delicacy from Surat in Gujarat. This hearty mixed vegetable dish, traditionally cooked upside down in earthen pots, by which it gets its name undhu (Gujarati for upside down) is best enjoyed during the cooler months. The amount of vegetables that go into preparing this dish is equivalent to the number of senses this dish evokes.
