Ghari or Surati Ghari is a sweet Gujarati dish from Surat, Gujarat, India. Ghari is made of puri batter, pistachio, almond, cardamom , milk mawa, ghee and sugar to be consumed on Chandani Padva festival. There is a history behind Ghari. Ghari was prepared by the Devshankar Shukla for Tatya Tope to provide extra strength to the freedom fighter’s soldiers in 1857 on a full moon day which is now celebrated as chandi padwa. However, it began to be consumed during inauspicious occasions too. Chandi Padwa is one of very popular festival of Surati people. Surati people eat lots of ghari with surati bhusu, mix of spicy and salty snacks which goes very well with the sweet gharis under the full moon.
