For authentic Marathi food
Heaven for home-sick Maharashtrians, Rajvardhan’s is a tiny little standing room only darshini-type restaurant located in Jayanagar. Dishing out Marathi dishes such as vada pav, sabudana vada, sabudana kichdi, thalipeet and shrikhand puris, this unassuming place certainly proves that authenticity rocks.
Of course, we tried the famous vada pav – the spicy, potato vada stuffed between two pieces of tava-toasted pav. We plunked it into the pungent date (?), tamarind and chilli sauce and bit into it. The multiple flavours of fiery sauce, the crispy pav and the delicious aloo combined together to give The Best Vada Pav in Bangalore. Next item – a Gujarathi snack called dabeli. Similar in structure to a vada pav – a desi sandwich so to speak – only the filling is very different. This light snack is an exotic mixture of pomegranate, crunchy groundnuts and vegetables between the pav bread and was delicious. Now completely eager to try more, our next choice was the kanda poha. Made from poha (avalakki) spiced with green chillies, groundnuts and seasoned with mustard and curry leaves, with a dash of lemon and coriander leaves, it was quite perfect. And, we washed down this meal with yummy lassi.
The cost of this entire meal was about Rs.60. Rajvardhan also sells spice powders such as onion garlic powder and peanut garlic powder and pickles and sweet and salty snacks. They also serve parathas which are supposedly very good. I highly recommend that you go there for authentic Maharashtrian food.
