Jumka Bhakar, Poran Poli, Usal Pav, Dahi Misal: Marathi dishes making their entry into sweet Ahmedabad!
One thing the Gujarati is famous for is their love for travelling and being enterprising apart from, of course, being business minded. So, it is no surprise that they are always open to trying out new flavours and cuisines. But till recently, the taste of neighbouring Maharastra had not made too much of an inroad into Ahmedabad. Now newer places are offering Maharashtrian delicacies and there are also a few dedicated Maharashtrian restaurants in the city.
