Pune is not very far away from Mumbai, which is why there are similarities when it comes to food. But the taste and serving in Pune are different than that in Mumbai. Since Pune is filled with students and youngsters, the dishes here have become unique with traditional touches. If you are heading to Pune for a trip, then you must have some of these dishes.
- Garden Vada PavThe Garden Vada Pav has become famous due to the restaurant’s name. But other than that, it is the same Vada and Pav, which is served in Mumbai. The only difference is that the Vada is coated with a crispy layer and looks a lot like a potato bhajiya. It is served with salted chillies and fried bhajiya crisp. This is a favourite evening snack of several students all across Pune.
2. Chicken Kathi Kebab: –
Chicken cooked in mild spices and thick gravy wrapped in a soft roti is something you can enjoy in Pune if you love non-vegetarian food. The additional touch which Pune adds to this dish is the Pudina chutney inside the roti wrap. This is that random dish which late night foodies will enjoy a lot in the city.
- Mango Mastani: -Like the name, the dish too is one of a kind. It is a combination of a milkshake with ice cream in it. This simple dish is a popular one in the city. If you love mango and want to have it off season then you must try out the Mango Mastani if you are in Pune.
- Aloo Parantha: -If you want to avoid eating too much food while on the trip, then you can have the special aloo parantha made in Pune. This dish is very popular amongst college students and also families. The various spices added in the parantha make it different from the Punjabi version of the same dish. The strong aroma of this dish will pull you towards it and you cannot resist!
- Double egg cheese omelette: -If you want to have some delicious breakfast, then you must head to a simple café in Pune to have the double egg cheese omelette and Bun maska! This is yet another favourite of the locals in Pune. If you are not a fan of the Maharashtrian food, then you can switch to this as an option. The basic combo with this dish is a sponge cake served at many cafes.
- Varan Baath: -Varan Baath is a famous dish all across Maharashtra and so is in Pune. Varan is basically yellow dal, which is made with green chillies, water, oil and spices. This dal is light weighted and is best eaten with rice. Many people have omelette or sometimes fish fry with this combination of rice and dal to add some taste. So, if you want to eat true Marathi cuisine then have this dal and rice!
