Thanks to Rusha, my old good friend who inspired me to pen down some food for thought. Maharashtrian food have many categories to relish from... i thought i should pen down something that i have been eating over 28years...everyday...almost twice a day (i wonder how much that calculation can make me feel!)
Some few items i love (obviously home cooked) are:
1. Kadhi gole
Now this is totally Deshasta brahmin style and is a treat to anyone who loves authetic indian veg food.
2. Fhansachi bhaji
This is a typical seasonal fruit, that we enjoy in summers... but its raw stage to cook a delicious (veg) vegetable dish is truely mouth watering
3. Kothimbir wadi (Coriander pattice)
Though this has lately become very famous... a typical maharashtrian house would definately have this as an evening snack sometime.
4. Matkichi bhaji
These are kind of pulses, nicely simmered with garlic and onions... and lots of kala masala.
5. Naralache ladu
A typical sweet dish made from coconut and rawa... mouthwatering.
6. Bhakri ani pethla
A farmers food earlier known, but today it's the taste that matters. Peethla is a gravy which you ought to eat with bhakri (bread) only.
7. Pan-nah
This is aso very typically a summer drink - sweet raw mangoes boiled and are made into a pulp... with lots of sugar + kesar...and some mroe ingredients and then served ice cold.
8. Some snacks to mention are: Policha ladu, pohyacha chevda... and many more.
But i turely missed these when far away from home for too long.....Will try and keep adding a few more to this list soon.
