Nita Ambani once revealed Mukesh Ambani's favourite Gujarati dish is..., it costs Rs...
Ambani weddings are the most talked-about events in the news headlines. From grand decoration, mouth-watering food from every corner of India, designer outfits, star-studded guest lists, and perfectly themed, colour-coordinated attire, everything screams perfection. Banarasi street food like chaat, mithai, lassi, chai, khari, paan, and mukhwas were on the menu of Anant-Radhika wedding.
From chaat to chai, Ode to Banaras features the culinary delights from one of the world's oldest living cities. Apart from these, sweets, paan and mukhwas, kharik from Ahmedabad, chaat counters, malai toast and chai, lassi and lemon tea, the food counters set up for guests promise to bring the Banaras' rich and varied food culture to Mumbai. But do you know Mukesh Ambani's favourite snack?
Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani, a couple who have been married for around 35 years, follow a strict vegetarian diet and generally eat meals that are home-cooked. According to the media report, Mukesh Ambani has been enjoying Gujarati-style dal every evening at dinner, emphasizing the wholesome and culturally anchored food choices made by the couple.
Mukesh Ambani, one of Asia's richest people, is a well-known regular at Swati Snacks, one of the most famous places for authentic Gujarati cuisine in Mumbai. From satpadi roti to gatta nu shaak to fada ni khichdi, Swati Snacks' offerings are many and varied. One of its highlights is its panki – a dish made with rice flour, steamed in a plantain leaf, and Mukesh Ambani's favourite dish. This unique kind of food has become iconic in recent years. This Gujarati snack is light, healthy, and so comforting! Panki is made from urad dal flour, curd, fenugreek seeds, turmeric, and rice flour. The most unique part about panki is how it's cooked—between banana leaves—creating a subtle, earthy flavor. Panki can often be had with chutneys, or pickles and it's a household breakfast staple in diverse households in Gujarat. The best part? It's easy and quick to make.
Founded in 1963 by Minakshi Jhaveri, Swati Snacks began as a small chaat shop with just four tables and a menu offering four items, each priced at four annas. Over the years, the business has grown into a thriving restaurant chain, now generating a monthly turnover of nearly INR 4 crore.
