hajuvaks

Hajuvaks, also known as Haju Vaks, are a traditional dish from the Indian state of Gujarat. The name "Hajuvaks" is derived from the Gujarati words "Haju," which means cucumber, and "Vaks," which means to fry. This dish is a popular street food and is often served as a snack or a light meal. It is typically made with thinly sliced cucumbers that are marinated in a mixture of spices, including mustard seeds, asafoetida, green chilies, and curry leaves. The marinated cucumbers are then deep-fried until they turn crispy and golden brown. Hajuvaks are usually served with a side of tamarind chutney or green chutney to enhance their flavor. The dish is known for its refreshing taste and is a favorite among locals and tourists alike.
