#Thread

Here is a thread of famous Maharashtrian snacks (pure veg), which are mostly enjoyed across the state & some specific to few regions. Not including vada pav or misal

Ppl frm MH then you just have to RT this thread😀

1) Kothimbir Wadi
Made from coriander leaves & besan

2) Alu Wadi

This is very famous especially in rainy season. Alu is called Taro leaves in English, very famous in MH, GJ region. In Maharashtra we fry our wadi whr as in GJ they steam it.

3) Kande Pohe

Maharashtra loves poha, it must have travelled to Indore when Maratha empire was expanding. Its so significant that even a match making program in MH is called as Kande Pohe program 😀

4) Dadpe Pohe

Its another form of poha which is very famous in Konkan. In all poha recipes in MH, grated fresh coconut is a must in generous quantity 😀

5) Maharashtrian Upma

Upma is quite common even in other states, but in MH it comes with extra grated coconut & green chutney. Very common breakfast in MH households.

6) Sanja

Another form of upma but this made a bit spicy & most places they add garlic for extra flavour. In coastal belt they even add dried fish to it.

7) Thalipeeth

Its a kind of handmade roti, made from various flours mixed together. Its made lil spicy and served with fresh butter. One of the fav for all Maharashtrians.

8) Shegaon Kachori

It comes from Shegaon which is devasthan for Shri Gajanan Maharaj. Its very different from other Kachoris, especially the stuffing is quite unique. Must try once.

9) Mutter Karanji

Its a kind of karanji or gujjiya, which is stuffed with unique recepie of mutter and spices. This is something which is loved across from kids to grandparents, usually its less spicy.

10) Pohe Samosa

Its a samosa made with stuffings of poha. Different places use different stuffings, with variance in spice level. Again a very different taste than usual samosas

11) Khobryachi Kachori

Made from grated coconut stuffing, comes from coastal region. Its very commonly made on upwas days. Very tasty 😀

12) Sabudana Khichdi

One of the most common snacks across Maharashtra. Again a upwas snack but ppl enjoy it anytime. Simply love it

13) Upwas Misal

Very different from usual misal. Base curry is made from groundnuts and then served with sabudana, batata and chivda.

14) Bakarwadi

Very famous is Pune. Chitale Bakarwadi is now a well known brand in MH. Its now an icon for Pune. Try it, if you still haven't tried one.

15) Kanda Bhajji

If its raining then kanda bhajji & chai is must. Very easy to make and most grandmothers were always on their toes to make bhajjis.

16) Moong dal bhajji

This snack is also used in main course, especially with kichadis. Moong dal kichdi & bhajji are awesome combination for dinner.

17) Maharashtrian Appe

Again a coastal recepie, made from rice flour or semolina(rawa). Appe is also famous in Southern side. But we have our unique ingredients and chutneys.

18) Suralichya wadya

I know its known as Khandvi in GJ, but we Maharashtrians also make it. We call it as Suralichya wadya.

19) Sabudana Wada

This is pure 😍, again upwas recepie but its enjoyed on any given day. It goes well as combo with poha or batata wada.

20) Batata Patties

Similar to Aloo Patty but ingredients are typical as per Maharashtrian taste. Enjoyed with different chutneys.

21) Batatyacha Kees

Its a dish made from grated potato, can be also enjoyed on upwas and also on other days.

22) Pohachya Chivda

Typical member of Diwali faral, every Maharashtrian mom loves making a poha chivda and its very crispy and very tasty 😀

23) Nashikcha Chivda

This chivda may have other names, but at my home, we call it as Nashikcha chivda, very commonly used in various functions as side dish with tea.

24) Palak Bhajji

This is a bhajji made from besan, onions and palak. Again very unique taste and very popular during monsoon season 😀

25) Tari Poha

Last but not the least. Famous Tari poha from Nagpur which comes with a very spicy curry.

There are many more breakfasts, but I have posted my fav 25. Let me know in comments if I missed your fav snack 😀.
