People with different cultural and religious backgrounds live in Maharashtra, sharing distinct ideas and beliefs. But what binds them together is the famous Marathi cuisine. Not only is it diverse, but it also boasts richness in terms of flavours. So, are you looking for some of the most mouthwatering Marathi dishes?

Puran poli

Puran Poli is a traditional food of Maharashtra, usually prepared during festivals. It is a stuffed paratha prepared with sweet stuffing and wheat flour dough. It would help if you used desiccated (dried) coconut, coarsely ground chana, and nutmeg powder to make the stuffing. For increasing the sweetness, you can use liquid jaggery from Aazol. Sometimes, several other spices are added to the filling to enhance the taste, like cardamom powder, ground fennel seeds, and dry ginger powder. Having Puran poli with kachati amti is definitely a must-try!

Vada pav

Considered the most famous street food in Maharashtra, Vada Pav packs many flavours and textures. The softness of the bread and crunchiness of the vada kept inside the pav is worth your time. Most street shops make the vadas by themselves using a mix of dal or pulses. Tomato sauce and handmade green chutney are used as spreads on the bread. Sometimes, vada pav is served with potato chips, while other times, you can choose the condiments based on your choice.

Chikki

This excellent and authentic snack from Lonavla is a must-try for those who dislike peanuts. It just needs a couple of ingredients only, so you can even make it at your house. Just roast a few peeled peanuts and mix them well with liquid jaggery mix. Once done, spread the entire mixture onto a tray till the jaggery hardens. One bite and the crunchiness will hit you head-on. Besides, the mix of nutty flavour with the sugariness of jaggery is fantastic.

Keri Amati

Nothing can be as delicious as Keri Amati if you want some relief from the summer heat. It is a curry made with fresh, raw mango, dried and shredded coconut, curry leaves, and powdered Indian spices. The spice collection boosts the curry’s flavours, like nutmeg, cumin, coriander, nutmeg, cardamom, cloves, bay leaves, dried chilis, and so much more.
