Khoja cuisine

Khoja cuisine reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Khoja community, primarily Gujarati and Kutchi Muslims from India and Pakistan. It features flavorful, spice-rich dishes that blend Indian and Middle Eastern influences. Common ingredients include rice, lentils, vegetables, and meats like chicken and lamb, often prepared with aromatic spices, herbs, and sometimes dried fruits and nuts. Traditional dishes include pilafs, kebabs, and vegetable curries, with an emphasis on hearty, well-seasoned flavors. Khoja cuisine also incorporates unique condiments like chutneys, highlighting a balance of savory, sweet, and tangy tastes typical of their culinary tradition.
