I grew up by eating green leafy vegetables like Methichi Bhaji, Shepuchi Bhaji, Lal Mathachi Bhaji, Tanduljachi Bhaji, these green leafy vegetables have been a part of our diet since I was a kid. In English, Tandulja is known as Amaranthus, and bhaji means dry or stirs fry curry. Some use red chili powder to prepare this bhaji, but at home, we use green chilies. Some use peanuts or pulses while cooking tandulja.

Brinjal Stir Fry(Eggplant Stir Fry):

Maharashtrian food is popular for its spicy, aromatic and nutty dishes made by using Traditional and Essential Maharashtrian Goda Masla. There are various methods to make eggplant/brinjal fry, and here is my Aai’s(Mother's)recipe to make a delicious homestyle Vangyachi Bhaji or Brinjal Fry. This dish makes a yummy side dish that tastes absolutely yummy with chapati(whole wheat flatbread/Phulka) or with rice for lunch or dinner.

Aamras(आमरस):

When I was Kid, Aamras-Puran Poli and summer vacations were my favorites. And I am sure it's all kid’s favorite too! Who doesn't like Mangoes? Everyone does love this King of Fruits “Mango.” Beyond the Sweet, luscious taste of mangoes, they also contain an abundant amount of minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. Aamras, Aam means mango and ras mean juice, so basically, Aamras means mango juice or pulp which flavored with saffron, cardamom as your liking.

Motichoor Boondi Laddu/Ladoo:

Indian festivals, puja, weddings, or any celebration is incomplete without this motichoor/boondi ladoos. Motichoor ladoos prepared from chickpeas or gram flour are tiny droplets of flour that are fried, later immersed in thick sugar syrup, and finally shaped liked ladoos.

Bhat-Varan(Rice+Lentils):

Maharashtrian dish Varan Bhat preparation involving split moong beans or pigeon peas and rice as its main ingredients. This Maharashtrian dal is a vegan, gluten-free recipe and doesn’t require the fancy preparation and lots of spices certain Indian dishes require. In Marathi, varan stands for lentils curry. Bhaat is rice. Firstly rice and split moong dal are cooked in a pressure cooker and then cooked split moong dal tempered with oil cumin and mustard seeds, curry leaves, and green chilies.

Chapati(Indian Whole Wheat Flatbread):

I am growing up by eating healthy, and soft whole wheat flour flatbread that made using two main ingredients. That being said, the feel and taste of a homemade fresh Chapati are a delight than from the store-bought. So, if you have extra time, and you like playing with dough, give them a try.
