Gudi Padwa is the traditional Maharashtrian festival which marks a beautiful start to the Marathi new year. On this day, some festive treats are prepared as part of the traditional meal that are absolute must-haves on your plate.
Vermicelli or shevaya are blended with milk, cream, dried fruits and aromatic saffron to prepare a sweet treat that adorns the festive Gudi Padwa platter.
Bringing a spicy touch into the feast is a sabzi made on the induction using boiled potatoes. Seasoned with mustard, curry leaves and green chillies, it anchors all other dishes together.
Bright red, peppery and slightly tangy, a saar or warm broth made from tomatoes is the perfect accompaniment to any rice dish prepared for the occasion.
Warm, fluffy puris brought to the feast straight from the kadai or air fryer are indulgent treats. Wrap the potato sabzi in them to gorge on this tasty festive bread.
Seasoned simply with cumin and coriander powder and flavoured with assorted vegetables, masale bhaat is a festive feast essential. It can be paired with tomato saar.
Raw mangoes or kairi, available in this season, are turned into a delicious cold salad or koshimbir that brings a bright sourness and subtle spice onto the festive spread.
