1. Locho

Locho's invention is followed by a humorous story. While preparing the usual Khaman, an irregular consistency resulted in the appearance of another dish, the Locho, which is surprisingly tasty and mouth-watering. It is available on every hawker's menu and has a mild sweet spicy flavour. Locho is a popular snack among our Gujju brothers, served with green chutney and crispy sev. Locho comes in a variety of flavours, including Schezwan and Italian Locho.
