Know About Surti Locho

Locho is a steamed Gujarati Snack/Side Dish in Surat, India’s diamond-producing metropolis. It is made with Bengal gram batter (chana dal). It has a loose consistency and is frequently topped with butter, Sev, locho masala, cilantro, and onion.

What’s the backstory on this dish? Locho’s Origins 

Locho is a Gujarati word that signifies “something is wrong” (fishy). Its name comes from the idea that it had been created during the creation of Khaman. It formed a lump (locho in Gujarati) during producing khaman rather than the desired pieces.

Once, a cook accidentally increased the amount of water in the khaman dhokla batter. As a result, the better went out rather runny, while the khaman came out a little softer and mushier than the ordinary.

As a result, he stated that “arre aa to LOCHO thai gayo” indicates It gets lumpy and out of proportion. To conceal his error, he presented the dish with delectable and vibrant toppings such as green chutney, sev, onion, masala, and butter. And because his clients like this oversight, this dish was formed. This recipe is quite simple to prepare. Additionally, all components may be found in your pantry, at an Indian grocery store, or on Amazon.

While the preparation is relatively similar to Khaman, this recipe adds extra water to the batter. This recipe is suitable for breakfast or as a snack on any day. It is critical to serving this meal hot to achieve the proper Locho (soft) texture and flavor.
