- Kande Pohe, Batata Vada, Missal Pav are all among authentic Maharashtrian breakfast dishes
- Any mother or grandmother will tell you one must always have a filling breakfast
- It is no wonder then that Maharashtrians take their breakfast very seriously
Mornings in Marathi households are incomplete without steaming hot Kande Pohe sprinkled with a few crunchy peanuts and finely chopped coriander served with a slice of lemon on the side. A cup of hot Adrak Chaha (tea) completes a perfect breakfast that sets the right tone for the day.
Ask any aai (mother) or aaji (grandmother) and they will tell you ‘Sakalcha nashta poat bharun karava’ (One must always have a filling breakfast). Maharashtrians take their breakfast very seriously. With mouthwatering dishes like Missal Pav, Sabudana Khichdi and Amboli, who wouldn’t?
Besides, Marathi breakfast dishes are not just lip-smacking delicious, they are equally healthy. We have chefs onboard who share the recipes of their favourite breakfast dishes. Let’s dig in.
Thalipeeth
For Chef Rakesh of Amazonia, Maharashtrian breakfast dishes stand out for their diverse flavours and the use of local spices. He says, “Whether it's the tanginess of Misal Pav or the savoury goodness of Sabudana Khichdi, each dish reflects the rich cultural tapestry of Maharashtra. It's this unique blend that makes Maharashtrian breakfasts truly special.” The chef’s two favourites, besides Thalipeeth, are Poha and Sheera.
