The 12 Essential Spicy Dishes in Los Angeles - Eater LA
"Tantalizing methai (sweets) and chat (snacks) are what it’s all about at Surati Farsan Mart, a stylish shop in Artesia specializing in Gujarati-style nibbles since 1986. One of the most wonderfully spicy snacks are the khandvi — silky pasta-like sheets made of chickpea flour and yogurt that are tightly coiled, trimmed, and garnished with fresh cilantro, black mustard seeds, and plenty of grated unsweetened coconut. Sold by the pound, the bite-sized rolls get their heat from a combination of fresh chiles and ginger in the batter. Go ahead and order a solid pound or two, because it’s nearly impossible to eat just a few of these irresistibly hot bites. 11814 186th St., Artesia. — Cathy Chaplin" - Eater Staff
