Dinner this evening was a very interesting affair. After a long and tiring (but productive!) work day, I landed up at Bandra Reclamation to check out the Mahalaxmi Saras exhibition and grab some amazing food.
This Mahalaxmi Saras exhibition is a handicraft and rural products exhibition that takes place every year around January. The handicrafts make for great purchases. But what is more interesting about this exhibition (at least for me) is that, in the food court, there are villagers from different parts of the state selling their traditional home food.
There is everything from Zunka Bhakar to Fried Crabs to Puran Poli. And it is all really tasty! Here are some photos from my visit.
Kombdi Vade (Chicken curry with Fried Bread). The green chutney on the side was really good too!
Bhakri (typical Maharashtrian bread) and Methi Sabzi
Surmai Fry (Fried King Mackerel)
Monster-sized Puran Poli (I didn’t have the heart to have this one for dinner!)
The exhibition is on till 27th January. If you live in Mumbai, I urge you to drop by and grab a bite here.
P.S. There are also some stalls selling authentic masalas for chicken, mutton and vegetables if you would like to try making some of this stuff at home 🙂
