Quarantine day…. I don’t know… But I hope everyone is staying healthy, safe, and most importantly happy. I find that even though I’m not getting as much daily exercise as planned, I am eating a little better to balance it out. For me, I eat pretty healthy on the days that we have Gujarati food! All of the veggies and lentils are good enough to brag about 😉 Today I’m sharing one of my favorites: Chori Nu Saak!

I’ve honestly never been a fan of Gujarati food, and it may be because I was forced to eat it while growing up. Up until I was probably 16, my mom made Gujarati food for dinner Monday – Friday, and weekends were for the fun stuff. So now can you see my anger towards it?! Lol. 
 
As I grew older, I actually started appreciating it more because I started enjoyng the combination of the vegetables and spices. Chori Nu Saak is BEST served with some fresh lemon drizzled on top, with a side of onion and any chili pepper of your choice.
 
If you are one of those people who are in college and miss mom’s homemade cooking, this recipe is SUPER easy and comforting!
 
Hope you all try this out!! Let me know what you think and please share any photos of your versions with me on Instagram!
