 +====== Maharashtra cuisine ======
  
 +==== Zunka Bhakri ====
 +A spicy chickpea flour scramble (zunka) cooked with onions, garlic, and chilies — served with jowar or bajra flatbreads. Rustic, fiery, and deeply nourishing. [([[https://cookpad.com/eng/recipes/16393794|Cookpad]])]
 +
 +==== Pithla-Bhakri ====
 +Similar to zunka but more gravy-like, this besan-based curry is a farmer’s favorite, often enjoyed with raw onions, chutney, and buttermilk. [([[https://thegratitudekitchen.com/pithla-bhakri/|The Gratitude Kitchen]])]
 +
 +==== Bombil Fry (Bombay Duck Fry) ====
 +Don’t be fooled by the name — it’s a soft, delicately spiced lizardfish, marinated and shallow-fried till crispy. Melts in the mouth! [([[https://natashagracious.com/2017/04/18/crisp-fried-bombay-duck-bombil-fry/|Natasha Gracious]])]
 +
 +==== Misal Pav (Kolhapuri Style) ====
 +A bold, spicy sprouted moth bean curry topped with farsan, raw onions, lemon, and served with pav. Known for its rassa (spicy red broth) — fiery and iconic. [([[https://ministryofcurry.com/spicy-misal-pav/|Ministry of Curry]])]
 +
 +==== Tambda & Pandhra Rassa (Kolhapur) ====
 +Served with mutton or chicken, these are two gravies: tambda (red, spicy) and pandhra (white, coconut-y). Often paired together — a yin-yang of flavor! [([[https://www.reddit.com/r/food/comments/bz9g2u/a_traditional_maharashtrian_chicken_tambda/|Reddit]])]
 +
 +==== Thalipeeth ====
 +A multi-grain savory pancake made from roasted grains, legumes, and spices. Nutty, wholesome, and often eaten with butter or curd. [([[https://www.gruballergy.com/recipe/spinach-thalipeeth-savoury-multi-grain-pancake|Grub Allergy]])]
 +
 +==== Kombdi Vade (Malvani Chicken Curry with Vade) ====
 +Spicy Malvani chicken curry served with deep-fried rice flour puris (vade) — coconut-heavy and coastal in character. [([[https://www.babsprojects.com/malvani-chicken-curry-kombadi-cha-rassa/|Babs Project]])]
 +
 +==== Solkadhi ====
 +A refreshing digestive drink made from kokum and coconut milk, spiced with garlic and chili. Cooling, pink, and perfect after a spicy meal. [([[https://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/kokum-curry-sol-kadhi/|Veg Recipe's of India]])]
 +
 +==== Vada Usal ====
 +A fusion of vada pav and usal (spiced lentils) — served together with chutneys and crunchy toppings. A Mumbai snack stall gem. [([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N34yaFDmOVU|YouTube]])]
 +
 +==== Bharli Vangi (Stuffed Brinjals) ====
 +Tender brinjals stuffed with a sweet-savory-spicy paste of ground peanuts, coconut, jaggery, and goda masala — earthy and rich. [([[https://www.ohmyveg.co.uk/bharli-vangi/|Oh My Veg!]])]
 +
 +==== Patole (Patoli) ====
 +A monsoon-special sweet made by steaming turmeric leaves filled with rice flour dough and a jaggery-coconut cardamom stuffing. Fragrant and seasonal. [([[https://theyummydelights.com/patoli-recipe-patoleo-recipe/|The Yummy Delights]])]

 +
 +==== Nagpuri Saoji Mutton ====
 +This dish is not for the faint of heart — mutton simmered in a dark, dry-spice-heavy curry, often with black pepper, stone flower, and secret masalas. Intense and tribal in origin. [([[https://partyonyourplate.wordpress.com/2020/10/15/saoji-mutton-curry/|Party on Your Plate]])]
 +
 +==== Ghavan with Coconut Chutney (Konkan) ====
