Craving for Locho in Surat? Here are your go-to spots

Locho is the star dish of street food in Surat. So much so that you will find it as a breakfast in almost every home or at the corner of every street. For the unversed, Locho is a paste-like steamed farsan (salty snack) made from gram flour. The dish derives its name from its loose consistency and irregular shape as 'Locho' means a mistake in Gujarati. Usually had with green chutney, masala and sev, it is said that this dish was an accidental invention by someone who was trying to prepare Khaman, another Gujarati farsan like Dhokla made with besan.
