From Thecha to Thalipeeth: 6 Must-Try Maharashtrian Recipes
by Shweta Mallik AzolMaharashtra
is a coastal state with rich culinary traditions. Each region in this state has
a unique culinary style and speciality. Maharashtrian cuisine is both mild and
spicy, bursting with earthy flavours. The pronounced use of coconut, peanuts,
lentils, jowar and other indigenously grown staples gives it a rustic flavour
without overpowering the palate. The one distinct feature that sets
Maharashtrian cuisine apart is the use of different masalas or spice blends.
Each region within Maharashtra uses its own mix of dry roasted and ground spice
blends. Many of these are now available online on sites like Aazol, which
strive to bring authentic Maharashtrian foods to your home. Here are some of
the recipes from this beautiful state that you must try.
Thalipeeth: Thalipeeth is arguably
the most popular flatbread consumed in Maharashtrian homes. Thalipeeth’s unique
flour blend (bhajani) is a multigrain flour mix, containing rice, wheat, jowar,
bajra, Bengal gram, green gram, and black gram, along with some spices.
Needless to say, it is as nutritious as it is tasty. You can check the Thalipeeth bhajani price
and buy this special blend on Aazol.
Khandeshi Vangyache Bharit: The
Khandeshi Vangyache Bharit from the north-western parts of the state is a
popular accompaniment to bhakri or roti. Khandesh is famous for its brinjal
produce. This roasted, mashed brinjal preparation is made special by using the
dark coloured Kaala Masala, which contains sesame, cloves, and black peppers,
among other ingredients.
Malvani Chicken Curry: This Malvani chicken dish is an absolute delight.
The marinade is a blend of the region’s traditional Malvani masala,
ginger-garlic paste, coriander, and lime. Konkan coast’s Malvani masala is made
with indigenous red chilli, black pepper, cinnamon, and many other spices. It
makes for a unique mix of flavours.
East Indian Tope: You must have
tasted the ubiquitous Maharashtrian Kande Pohe, but the East Indian Tope is a
mutton and red rice poha dish that you have to try out. This delicious one-pot
meal is both super tasty and nutritious. The addition of red poha or flattened
red rice makes it a complete meal.
Thecha: Thecha, the spicy chilli
chutney, is a standard accompaniment to all Maharashtrian meals. The red chilli
and garlic make for a fiery lal thecha, while the green thecha is made from
green chilli, garlic, coconut, sesame, and a mix of spices.
Khobra Kaakvi Chikki: The
original energy bar from Maharashtra, Khobra Kaakvi Chikki is made from coconut and mineral-rich liquid
jaggery. It’s a favourite among adults and kids alike. It sure makes for an
energising mid-meal snack.
