Even within the bombay pune expressway. Water boils at 100C in bombay. 98C in pune. 97C in Bangalore. 92C in Simla! In india we usually pressure cook anything to boil it so we don't realize these differences.

It's an easy thing to miss because the boiling water is still hot and boiling and bubbling and will of course scald you if you touch it. It's just not as hot as it looks at higher altitudes.
If you ever feel like your pasta or noodles weren't perfectly al dente following the time in the recipe or why maggi seems to take longer to cook in some places, check your altitude.
Oh I just solved a 17 year old mystery. 😂
A friend of mine is known for her nutrella soy chunks pulao. Rave reviews every time. Once she made it for friends in Bangalore. it was undercooked. And she was so baffled because she did what she had done hundreds of times. In bombay.

If you're using boiling to just completely turn something to mush, it might not matter as much. But when you're trying for a specific texture like al dente or eggs or even how soy chunks should taste, altitude matters.
