India is a country which has so many delicious and interesting cuisines where one particular vegetable can be made in so many different ways. Every cuisine has its own flavour and taste due to the use of local masalas and style of cooking. There is one such cuisine where the food is so delicious that if we eat it once, we will crave for it more and more. That cuisine is Maharashtrian, from the land of Marathas which has a lot to offer for food lovers.
Maharashtrian snacks and street food is famous all over the world. From Vada Pav to Misal Pav to Pav Bhaji, one just cannot resist these food items. Vada Pav is one of the most popular street food which is consumed widely on the streets of Mumbai, the city which moves 24 hours. Just like these, there are many more more snacks such as Masala Pav, Aloo Vada which are famous and now sold in every part of India.
But today, we will talk about the main course food, the everyday food which is eaten in Marathi households. Simple, comforting and full of flavour, Maharashtrian food is very simple to make and is absolutely delicious.
