Ambat Chuka Bhaji (Green sorrel curry)
I found Ambat chukka on my last visit to the market. It is a tangy cousin of Palak(Appearance isl ike Palak but is very sour to taste.) In fact I googled to find out what it is called in other languages and was surprised to know that in Hindi it is actually called Khatti Palak. In English it is Green Sorrel and for other Indian languages see this page here…
Ukadiche Modak (Sweet stuffed Rice Flour Dumplings)
Ganapati festival feast is synonymous with Modak. Lord Ganesha’s favourite food…Taste it and you know why!!!
Majority of the households in Maharashtra make these beautifully shaped (the shape can only be called as-Modak shape, no other shape describes it better!!) mouthwatering Modak during Ganesh festival…
