Maharashtra is known for being the hub of the entertainment and IT industries but the state is also known for its culinary heritage. Apart from street food, its regional breakfast dishes are a must-try.
Thalipeeth is a kind of Indian flatbread made by combining flours like chickpea, rice, millet, and wheat and kneaded with onions, spices, and other veggies.
If you like to begin your mornings with a sweet dish, shira or sooji halwa is the way to go. Garnish it with nuts and cardamom powder to make it healthier.
Ghavan is a rice flour pancake which looks like a dosa. It is made with rice flour unlike dosa and served with spicy curry or chutney.
In Maharashtra, kande pohe or onion poha is the most cherished breakfast. It is prepared fresh and served with a sprinkle of grated coconut and sev.
Misal pav is not only a street food but also an ideal breakfast pick. Spiced sprouted lentils are served with soft and fluffy ladi pav and buttermilk.
Since Maharashtra shares a border with South Indian states, upma has made its way to the list of breakfast dishes you should savour.
While people in the North usually enjoy sabudana vada while fasting, Maharashtrians relish it for breakfast on a regular day. It is accompanied by green chutney.
