Manchurian Locho available at: Jani
Khaman And Locho House, Shop No.11, Star Trade Centre, Sodawala Lane, opposite
Chamunda Circle, Borivali (West) which is priced at Rs. 40 is one of the best Gujrati,
Indian and Chinese combination.
Have you come across any recipe which is a
mistake and yet served with style and fashion across the country? If not, let
me take an opportunity here to introduce you to ‘Locho’, which is a bad mistake
made good through the spirit of entrepreneurship. Incidentally,When a cook in
Surat added too much water to his khaman(Gujrati farsan, all mumbaikars would be aware of this term,rest plz Google!!) batter, it became the base for locho. He
did not have guts to accept the fault and carried on steaming the same batter. To
his surprise the goofed up recipe was loved by people and was soon in demand. ‘Locho’
which literally means ‘mistake’ in Gujarati thus derived its name from here. At
Jani, which recently opened in Mumbai after years of success in Surat, locho
has gone the way Mumbai’s street dosa and bhel have – it’s got a Chindian
version, with a topping of Manchurian or Szechuan sauce along with butter,
chaat masala, sev, and onions. For an additional Rs10, they’ll add cheese.
