Commemorate the day with enjoyable traditional delicacies

Food is the ultimate way to celebrate any special occasion. Enjoy traditional delicacies of Maharashtra as you bring in Maharashtra Day. Pohe, Sabudana Khichdi, Kothimbir Vadi, Bhaji, Poli, Varan Bhaat, are simple, home-style dishes that are synonymous with this State. Of course, there is lip-smacking non-vegetarian fare one can relish too. Every area in the city offers places where one can indulge in these dishes. So head to the one nearest you and celebrate the culture of Maharashtra with its distinct and flavourful cuisine. My Top 5 picks:

Diva Maharastracha, Matunga West, Central Mumbai

Savour home-style food as you celebrate this special day. Step into Diva Maharastracha for a traditional yet homely meal. From Appams with Prawn Curry to Jowar Bhakri with Wangyache Bhareet or Kalya Vatanyachi Amti, one can relish simple, flavourful food. Do not miss the Pithale here. The fresh Kharvas is the best way to round off a perfect meal here.
