Regional Variations
The base menu list stays the same across Gujarat, but the flavour profile shifts by region — Kathiyawadi menus lean spicier with more garlic-chilli tempering (Jain versions swap this out), Surti menus favour a sweeter, ghee-forward touch (think Surti Undhiyu with extra jaggery), and Charotar menus (Anand-Kheda belt) are known for a milder, more delicately spiced Kadhi and Dal. We adjust the spice and sweetness profile of this same list to match your family's regional preference.
Jain & Satvik Version of This List
Every item on this menu list is available in a fully Jain or Satvik version — no onion, no garlic, no root vegetables, prepared in dedicated cookware. See our Jain & Satvik Catering page → or, for a housewarming specifically, our Griha Pravesh menu guide →.
