Introduction
The
city of Pune is well-known not only for its climate and hills but also for the
highly regarded information technology parks and educational establishments
that are located there. However, the food is the primary factor that puts it in
the first place. Even though it has undergone significant modernization and
rapid development, Pune's culinary scene has managed to keep its traditional
flavor and taste. It doesn't matter if you're only in town for a few hours or a
few days; you shouldn't miss out on these local specialties, as they each
represent a distinctive aspect of Pune's culinary tradition.
1. Bakarwadi
This
is a savory roll that is spiced and deep-fried, and although you can find it at
just about every corner shop in Pune, Chitale Bandhu Mithaiwale is the only
place that does it quite as well as they do. Because you can't buy bakarwadi
anywhere else, tourists here buy it by kilo and bring it back with them.
2. Vada-Pav
at Garden Vada Pav Centre
Garden
Vada Pav Centre is renowned for serving (arguably) the most famous Vada Pav in
all of Pune. It is also one of the oldest and most well-known restaurants in
all of Pune. Both the flavor and the consistency are unparalleled, and the
serving sizes are extremely generous, which is always a welcome feature. In addition,
ensure that you inquire about some churra to go along with your delectable
vada-pav.
3. Sabudana
Vada
The next well-known local delicacy is the Sabudana Vada, which is a tea-time snack that is hand-patted and then deep-fried. You can get it at the best street food places in Pune. Sago, which has the shape of pearls, is one of the ingredients that is combined with mashed potatoes, coriander, peanuts, and chilies to create a batter that has a rich texture and is then fried in oil.
This delicacy has a chewy center and a crispy exterior for added textural contrast. The sensational pleasure of eating this snack more than makes up for the ease with which it can be assembled. Caution is advised when consuming this crispy treat with a piping hot cup of chai because the combination is highly addicting. In most restaurants, it is served with either mint chutney, date chutney, or ketchup on its own.
4. Pav
Bhaji
This profoundly evocative dish has a long and illustrious history that dates back more than 150 years. The dish known as Pav Bhaji comes from Maharashtra and is popular among Indians all over the world. It is also frequently recreated in Indian homes.
A thick, spicy gravy that is made of a variety of vegetables and
is primarily made with mashed potatoes is served with a generous topping of
butter, finely chopped raw onions, a slice of lemon, and lavishly buttered soft
buns or bread rolls. The gravy is served with a generous topping of butter.
This street grub, which many people in Pune consider to be the city's best
street food, will take your senses to a whole new level. If you asked the
street vendors to cut back on the amount of butter they used, they would
probably look down their noses at you.
5. Dabeli
This delicious street food that is popular in Pune features an abundance of tastes, textures, and flavors. It's a complicated dish that combines sweet, spicy, and sour flavors all into one. The fact that Dabeli can be traced back to Kutch in Gujarat and that it is played there speak volumes about the traditions of both Gujarat and Maharashtra.
The regional specialty consists of a potato-based
filling that is encased in a bun, a generous drizzle of sweet and spicy
chutney, grapes, pomegranate, onions, coriander leaves, peanuts, and crispy sev
for garnish, and all of these components are finished off in the style of the
region. You only need one Dabeli to keep you energized and productive
throughout the entire day. This dish, which is enjoyed by hundreds of people
who are fans of street food, is gone in a matter of minutes at food stalls
located all around Pune.
