KHAMAN (THE SPONGE SNACK) Okay food lovers, let’s get started
with the most simple one, this is a kind of snack. Indians call this khaman or sponge snack.
Khaman is a tasty and healthy steamed snack made from freshly ground lentils and chickpea flour,
it is very similar to its brother that has become the most popular Indian dish in the world,
dhokla. Food lovers, let’s get to know how to prepare this super tasty dish. First,
we should have the khaman flour mix. Then it will be boiled along with turmeric, salt and baking
soda to make it light and fluffy. It is then cut up into cubes and usually garnished with mustard
seeds, coriander leaves, and chopped onions. Traditionally served on a large green leaf called
the Kesuda, the modern, urban version is served in newspapers in farsan shops with tangy chutneys and
several pieces of green chillies. There are also some popular adaptations of the khaman, include
Ameri khaman (mashed up khaman garnished with sev and pomegranate), Nylon khaman
(softer and fast-cooking khaman) and Masala khaman (khaman served with hot and spicy chilly powder).
We don’t need to hesitate how tasty this dish is, just by looking at the yellow smooth appearances,
you’ll definitely fall in love with khaman. Hmm the true definition of love at first sight, right?

VADA PAV Hmmm
any burger lovers here? What kind of burgers have you tried? And have you tried
the Indian version of burger? Hmm, then you have to! It’s quite surprising when
India apparently has its own burger. They named it vada pav, it’s alternatively spelt
as ‘wada pao’. Vada Pav can easily be called the Indian version of a burger! A delicious,
spicy, deep-fried patty made of potato is squeezed between a thick slice of bread,
similar to a burger bun. In India, vada means patty, and pav is bread.
Between the vada and pav, a spicy mix of spices and salt is sprinkled and garnished with a fried,
salted green chilli. Sounds perfect, isn't it? Vada pav originated as an affordable street food
in Mumbai, but now, it is served in many food stalls and restaurants across India. This dish
is usually eaten by some vegetarians. It's an all-day snack and is extremely popular among
Maharashtrians. It is very economical, filling and easily accessible. In some cases, people also know
this as Bombay burger in keeping with its origins and its resemblance in physical form to a burger.
Another popular offshoot is the Bhajiya Pav, which has batter-fried onions instead of the patty.
PITHLA BHAKRI Food lovers, now we have pithla bhakri
for the number three on the list. Pithla Bhakri is the recurrent 'comfort food' for most of the
Maharashtrians. In fact, it is also known as the Farmer's meal in the state. Mostly, the hot pithra
is united with bhakri and even roti at times as a reward after a long and tiring day at work.
This simple dish doesn't require either too many complex ingredients or a lot of time to prepare.
It is essentially a chickpea flour porridge. Its ingredients are gram flour, mixed with water
to form a semi-solid paste. It is then sauteed in oil with any other assorted ingredients like
green chillies, red chilly powder, turmeric, salt, fried onions, mustard seeds, ginger-garlic, cumin
seeds and coriander leaves. Instead, it’s the best dish to come up with when you are out of veggies.
Mostly, pithla which is served with rice has a watery-liquid like consistency and a semi-liquid
or dry pithla goes perfectly with bhakri or roti. A spicy version of the same is known as Zunka.
BHARLI VANGI Food lovers,
have you ever heard about bharli vangi? This is an authentic spicy curry recipe made with purple
eggplant and a blend of stuffed spices. It is one of the popular curries from the marathi cuisine,
loaded with the warmth of goda masala. It is typically served with Indian flatbread or roti,
but can also be served as a side to dal rice combination. For your information, this is a
popular and most liked style of cooking brinjals or baby brinjals in India. Brinjal has never been
anybody's favorite vegetable. But this Maharashtra food has the capability to kick life into this
otherwise boring vegetable. This combination of ingredients does wonders to the brinjal.
Hmmm, for those who hate brinjals, any interest to taste bharli vangi? You might love this one!
Waw, we are finally get to the last of the list, food lovers. Let’s end this list with the sweet
one, and you should be very happy because this is a dessert. Here we have Basundi.
It is a sweetened condensed milk made by boiling milk on low heat until the milk is reduced
by half. The addition of condensed milk gives a nice flavour and richness to basundi.
In North India, a similar dish goes by the name rabri. It is often made on Hindu festivals such
as Kali Chaudas and Bhaubeej Different styles of basundi are also prepared,
such as sitaphal basundi (custard apple) and angoor basundi (basundi with smaller kinds of
rasgullas). Basundi can be served hot, warm or chilled. It is often
served with puris (fried Indian flatbread). Hmmmm, traditional food never fails, right??
