The typical Gujarati thali consists of rotli, dal or kadhi, rice, and shaak/sabzi (a dish made up of several different
combinations of vegetables and spices, which may be either spicy or sweet). The thali will also include preparations
made from pulses or whole beans (called kathor in Gujarati) such as mung, black eyed beans etc., a snack item
(farsaan) like dhokla, pathra, samosa etc. and a sweet (mishthaan) like mohanthal, jalebi, doodh pak etc. Gujarati
cuisine varies widely in flavour and heat, depending on a family's tastes as well as the region of Gujarat to which they
belong. North Gujarat, Kathiawad, Kachchh, and Surti Gujarat are the four major regions of Gujarat that contribute
their unique touch to Gujarati cuisine. Many Gujarati dishes are distinctively sweet, salty, and spicy simultaneously.
