Did you know? This protein-packed Gujarati dish combines chickpeas with hydrating ridge gourd. The gourd's mild flavor absorbs the tangy-spicy gravy. It's traditionally served with bajra roti in winter for warmth. Jaggery balances the sourness, reflecting Gujarati sweet-sour palate. Modern versions use canned chickpeas, but soaked ones taste better. A lunchbox favorite that stays fresh for hours. The ridge gourd seeds add interesting texture.
