      Gujarati Curries have their own aroma. It’s completely different in taste than the Punjabi Curry. Even in Gujarati dishes , each curry has its own taste than the other unlike the base gravy in almost all the Punjabi curries. I love Punjabi food, but Gujarati food has its own flavors, that makes it different than all the other dishes.
