Surti Locho is a majestic, savory, and profoundly aromatic street food masterpiece from Surat, celebrated for its unique semi-liquid consistency and bold spice garnish. This recipe features a batter of soaked lentils steamed to a professional-grade soft set that appears slightly 'undercooked' by design.
