Kolhapur was the pit-stop on our Bangalore-Mumbai road trip. Of course, it was a conscious stop considering this place is synonymous with its non-veg cuisine :).
This is how our dinner plate looked like that evening. Now, this is the interesting bit - you'll see two kinds of gravy - the red and the white one. The white\green gravy is called "Pandra Raasa" and its mildness is the perfect foil for "Tambda Raasa" which is a fiery hot red gravy!
For breakfast next day morning, we landed at Phadtare Misal Paav. This is a no-frill, modest eatery open only for breakfast and the only item in the menu is Misal-Paav. Its rated as one among the best in Kolhapur and it truly didn't disappoint( Of course am no expert on Misal, but it was definetely lip smacking good).......
Of course, no trip to Kolhapur is complete without picking up these famous Kolhapuris....

ReplyDeleteYou've described the 2 must-haves when one is in Kolhapur: the Kolhapuri thaali (with the red and white gravies) and missal-paav.
ReplyDeleteLuckily, I visit Kolhapur occasionally on work, so I've had both a number of times.
The misal looks tempting! I had it for the first time at Mumbai! And I ♥ Kolhapuri chappals!
