== History ==<br />
When India was undivided, the State of Sindh was under [[Bombay Presidency]] also called Bombay and Sindh. Due to its proximity with Gujarat, Rajasthan and political ties with then Bombay, it shared similar culinary traditions. Though Farsan is highly adopted in Gujarati cuisines but origin is same. Sindhis in [[Ulhasnagar]] have preserved this tradition in the form of few special dishes like Besan Papdi, Sev Dal Sandwich, Dahi Sev Puri, etc.<br />
