MARATHI FOOD
Transcript
Hello. I am here in Maharashtra, India in Bombay, Mumbai in the Dadar neighborhood with the Karkanis family who's invited me inside to try typical Maharastrian food. Well, let me give you a look at what lunch is like here. As we see down all these stainless steel plates, here's some dal or lentils. This is bindi or okra. This is some rice, brown rice. And this one is Dimiti. And tier in here is some chapati. And then there's some lemon or some limbu. You've gotta try other Maharastrian food. I love it. It's so tasty. Now I'm gonna mix it up on my plate and eat it. It is so delicious. Thank you so much for hosting me here. I love Maharastra.
