Besides the sea, the tall skyscrapers and of course Bollywood, there is a lot that Maharashtra has to offer that we often tend to miss out on. Starting from the rich history of Marathas that has left an indelible imprint on the region’s cuisine. The Maharashtrian cuisine is, in fact, an eclectic mix of local and foreign influences. The pav, that is so ubiquitous to the Maharashtrian ‘foodscape’ was brought here by the Europeans, Portuguese to be specific. Because of its proximity to sea, the seafood fare of Maharashtra is truly special and worth all the hype, but there’s also a gamut of vegetarian options to appease the non-meat eaters.
Here, we have tried to compile a list of classic Maharashtrian snacks that are fit for all seasons.
Pav Bhaji
No surprises here. We had to start our list with one of Maharashtra's most beloved snacks and here we are. A red, thick curry made with mashing vegetables and hot spices, paired with buttery bread. Can it get any better than this, we guess not.
