Dakor Na Gota, another classic flavourful, spicy and sensational delicacy from classic Gujarati households. Dakor Na Gota is believed to have originated from the city of Dakor in state of Gujarat which is renowned as Lord Krishna pilgrimage hence the name and Gota means round spiced chick pea flour deep fried balls. Original Dakor Na Gota, which you get in Dakor are made with Dakor Gota Mix without any methi ( fenugreek ) leaves, and the batter prepared with either milk or yogurt and served with thick and creamy yogurt as people believe that Lord Krishna was fond of dairy products and in Dakor they have unlimited supply of milk. I am lucky enough to visit Dakor twice in my life and thoroughly enjoyed my trip and obviously the authentic and famous Dakor Na Gota over there. However in home prepared one you can add finely chopped fenugreek leaves and coriander leaves. Dakor Na Gota, are specially prepared and enjoyed on Sharad Poonam / Poornima with Doodh Poha after playing Dandiya Raas. Sharad Poornima dandiya raas event celebrates Krishna dancing with with the Gopis on this full moon day. It is a must have during the festive season but you are free to enjoy at anytime. The Gota recipe I have today, have prepared with my own homemade gota mix,which is very handy as you never know when your taste buds craves for something hot and spicy or you can find a great escape even if you have unannounced guests pay you a visit. Just add little milk, yogurt or water into Gota mix and Dakor Na Gota ready in a jiffy.
