Tips & Secrets

  • Scraping the skin (not peeling completely) is mandatory for achieving the most professional-grade authentic texture and appearance.
  • Ensuring the besan is toasted with the vegetable provides the absolute secret to achieving superior professional-grade nutty aroma.
  • The addition of a little grated jaggery provides the essential professional-grade Gujarati-flavor-balance lift.
  • Always select small and firm parval specifically to ensure the signature professional-grade tenderness is maintained.
