Sept 10th, Geetika interacts with Kaanchan Bugga and discovers Traditional Marathi cuisine

Someone said, ‘ Eating is a necessity, but cooking is an art.’ And Indian cooking at its best is from the homes, the traditional pandora’s box, which each community in India has in abundance, with the secrets of home food and healthy tips tucked inside every Indian’s heart. The beauty about Indian food is that at every mile, the taste changes, the flavours vary, even if the ingredients are similar. There are a whole range of spices from South to North and East to West that are similar , and also different in its own way, the way seasoning is done, or vegetables are chopped or gravies are made. Maharashtrian cuisine uses a lot of roasting, lentils, coconut milk and wholegrains like Jowar, Bajra, rice and seasonal vegetables. Each household has its unique style and flavour that varies from region to region. One of the most popular dish is Thalipeeth & Modak well known in other parts of India due to its popularity. Thalipeeth is a multigrain pancake prepared from a flour called “Bhazni” which is made from roasted legumes, rice, spices and then made into round flat breads served with white butter and curd preparations called ‘Koshambir’.
