ABOUT Oil-free Gujarati Undhiyu RECIPE

Undhiyu is a Gujarati mixed vegetable dish that is a regional specialty of Surat, India. The name of this dish comes from the Gujarati words “matlu” meaning earthen pot and “undhu” meaning upside down since they have been traditionally cooked upside down underground in earthen pots fired from above. The dish is a seasonal one, comprising the vegetables that are available on the South Gujarat coastline during the winter season.
