Raviplaanis

Raviplaanis, also known as Raviplani, is a traditional Indian sweet dish originating from the state of Gujarat. The name "Raviplaanis" is derived from the Gujarati words "Ravi," meaning "rain," and "Plani," which refers to a type of sweet. The dish is a popular street food and is often sold by vendors in Gujarat and other parts of India.

Raviplaanis are made from a batter of gram flour (besan), sugar, and water, which is then deep-fried until crispy. The resulting sweet has a unique texture, being soft and slightly chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. It is typically served warm and is often enjoyed as a snack or a dessert.

The dish is known for its simplicity and delicious taste, with a sweet and slightly nutty flavor. It is often dusted with powdered sugar or served with a side of chai (tea) or coffee. Raviplaanis are a popular choice for those looking for a quick and satisfying sweet treat.

In recent years, Raviplaanis have gained popularity beyond Gujarat, with vendors and restaurants offering them in other parts of India and even internationally. Despite its simplicity, the dish has become a beloved part of Indian culinary culture, appreciated for its taste and convenience.
