The amazing Pune city has lot of offer to the palate of the visitors. Cuisine of Konkanastha Brahmins has remained authentic through the years as they refuse to change even on particle of ingredient and spicing so this is must explore foodie delight. One of these is Amti, a dal considered a staple throughout Maharastra made with tuvar and a traditional spice mix, the Goda masala. This contains blend of red chillies, khus khus, dagadphool, and dessicated coconut giving amti its trademark taste and delightful aroma.
Shops near 3 star hotels in Pune sell the lightest wafers in the world made with potatoes and then there is the bakarwardi. This is savoury roll containing wheat flour and a spicy mix of masalas then deep-fried to give its signature taste. It is popular as a teatime snack in the city and the state. Peanut products in the city are amazing and you can take them back home with you after your visit. They have cold pressed oil from the groundnut and peanut chutney containing peanut, red chillies, garlic, and jaggery. This chutney is a delicious accompaniment with your chapattis.
Another favorite with the foodies is the sabudana khichdi and it would be sad to miss this delightful dish when staying at hotels in Pune near airport. It has faint glutinous texture with the sticky pearl like sabudana and coarsely crushed roasted peanuts spread over this in generous quantity. Eat this after sprinkling lemon juice and it tastes delicious. Parsi delights are also available such as the chicken sandwiches, mawa cake, and biscuits.
