anna hain purna bramha
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.

Rajanikanth makes onions cry.
Rajanikanth can delete the Recycling Bin.
Ghosts are actually caused by Rajanikanth killing people faster than Death can process them.
Rajanikanth can strangle you with a cordless phone.
Rajanikanth can play the violin...... ...with a piano.
When Rajanikanth enters a room, he doesn't turn the lights on,......... .... he turns the dark off.
When Rajanikanth looks in a mirror the mirror shatters, because not even glass is stupid enough to get in between Rajanikanth and Rajanikanth.
Brett Favre can throw a football over 50 yards. Rajanikanth can throw Brett Favre even further.
Rajanikanth does not know where you live, but he knows where you will die.
Bullets dodge Rajanikanth.
A Handicap parking sign does not signify that this spot is for handicapped people. It is actually in fact a warning, that the spot belongs to Rajanikanth and that you will be handicapped if you park there.
Rajanikanth' calendar goes straight from March 31st to April 2nd, no one fools Rajanikanth.
If you spell Rajanikanth wrong on Google it doesn't say, "Did you mean Rajanikanth?" It simply replies, "Run while you still have the chance."
Once a cobra bit Rajanikanth' leg. After five days of excruciating pain, the cobra died.
When Rajanikanth gives you the finger, he's telling you how many seconds you have left to live.
Rajanikanth can kill two stones with one bird.
Rajanikanth was once on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune and was the first to spin. The next 29 minutes of the show consisted of everyone standing around awkwardly, waiting for the wheel to stop.
Leading hand sanitizers claim they can kill 99.9 percent of germs. Rajanikanth can kill 100 percent of whatever he wants.
There is no such thing as global warming. Rajanikanth was cold, so he turned the sun up.
Rajanikanth can set ants on fire with a magnifying glass. At night.
It takes Rajanikanth 20 minutes to watch 60 Minutes.
Rajanikanth once shot down a German fighter plane with his finger, by yelling, "Bang!"
In an average living room there are 1,242 objects Rajanikanth could use to kill you, including the room itself.
Rajanikanth got his drivers license at the age of 16 Seconds.
With the rising cost of gasoline, Rajanikanth is beginning to worry about his drinking habit.
The square root of Rajanikanth is pain. Do not try to square Rajanikanth, the result is death.
When you say "no one's perfect", Rajanikanth takes this as a personal insult.
there is nothing like recession , its just rajnikanth started to save money
