    Our resident restaurant critic and food writer for the LA Weekly, Jonathan Gold, takes a food journey to the Indian state of Gujarat... in the unlikely locale of Artesia. His restaurant pick this week is Rajdhani, a vegetarian’s delight featuring the complex, rich cuisine of western India. Their specialty is the sumptuous, thali, a multiple-course platter, with never-ending refills of each item, including delicately fried flour puffs called puri, rich purees of yogurt, legumes and pulses, spicy stews, and curried vegetables.
