Unique Traditional Gujarati Dakho

DAKHO is a unique traditional Gujarati dish that is made only once a year in some households, specifically on the day of Janmashtami. There is a belief that this dish will not have the same unique and exceptional flavor if it is prepared on any other day of the year.
The dish is a flavorful and highly delicious mixed vegetable stew, created by combining dakho, patrali, and Gujarati dal. This blend results in a unique, savory, and truly special meal.
