Chapdi Tavo is a famous street food of Rajkot, Gujarat. It is a spicy Vegetable known as Tavo & served with Chapdi , a fried coarse whole wheat flour dumpling. It is available on the streets of Saurashtra especially in Jamnagar, Rajkot where hot Tavo is served on top of crumbled Chapdi & is generally washed down with a glass of chilled buttermilk. It is a very spicy dish which sometimes brings tears to the eyes yet so yummy that it's aroma on the streets does not let you move further till you eat it . Tavo Chapdi or Tavo Undhiyu is a winter delicacy but it is also made in summer using different lentils .
