Undhiyu Chapadi is a popular winter street food from Rajkot. Undhiyu is a typical Gujrati mix vegetable ,and chapadi is a flat, fried version of Baati.

I had short listed Undhiyu for the alphabet ‘U’ , but since I have already posted some of the variations I wanted something different and kept Exploring the flavours of Gujrat .Finally I read about Undhiyu Chapadi . It is also popular as Chapadi Tavo .

My friend in Rajkot tells me that this dish was originally prepared to please Mataji , but soon became popular as street food. Chapadi is the flat , fried version of Rajasthani Baati . The Undhiyu which is served with Chapadi is very different from the regular Kathiawadi Undhiyu . This has more than fifteen Vegetables . I followed a video and made the Undhiyu and family loved it . The very next day my neighbor who is from Rajkot told me that the original version of this is quite different and has many more veggies . She offered to help and we decided to make yet another version.

.
I took nearly 3 hours to chop and prepare vegetables and it took us almost 2 hours to cook this Undhiyu , but then we were cooking for 25 people ! I have scaled down the recipe for you guys .

The Chapadiis made with a mix of regular wheat flour and some coarse wheat flour, it is fried on medium flame .While serving the chapadi  is crushed and the Undhiyu is mixed in , and you enjoy eating it with your hands . Raw onion , fried chillies , papad and buttermilk are the accompaniments served with it .

This is a full fledged meal and very healthy , as well as delicious . It is actually a very lengthy process but definitely worth trying.

Here are some other versions of Undhiyu
