Ghari – Gujarati Sweet

Description

Surati Ghati as it is usually called is a sweet dish so called because it is mainly prepared in Surat, Gujarat to be consumed during the festival of Chandani Padva, which is actually formed around the dish itself. Ghari was actually prepared by the cooks of Tatya Tope(freedom fighter) to provide extra strength to the freedom fighter’s soldiers in 1857 on a moon day. Suratis consume around 100000 kg of Ghari every year on Chandani Padva. Ghari is made of milk, ghee and puri batter with sweet fillings inside which is then moulded into round shapes. These are also made in many different flavours like pistachio, almonds and more.
