Kolhapur pune highway...maharashtrian food highway
Kolhapur pune highway...a Maharashtrian food highway !
The journey begins in morning with the darshan of mahalakshmi at the heritage mahalakshmi mandir in kolhapur.
While walking down to the car the fresh fragrance of flowers makes the morning more pleasant. Drive down thru the town to famous misal joint to taste the best fiery mix of pulses ground spices coconut garli ginger with the watery gravy topped with farsan, squeeze lime sprinkle chopped onions and you just cant wait to gorge on Misal....the first mouthful and resulting 'thaska' or spice cough is the real test of misal being authentic. Eat with bread to absorb the oil n spice. Its filling and you now get out on road in a bylane to have masala chai (tea)
.
Refreshing cardamom tea will assure you comfortable drive for 100kms.
We move to highway Nh4 lined with snall eateries & restaurants screaming on boards "served here Misal, Kanda Bhaji, Batatawada, Kothimbir wadi, kurma puri.

| Kanda Bhaji |
We halt near Karad to taste the local ( 10I'm area only) Kurma Puri.... vegetables in mild spiced watery gravy or rassa as u call in local lingo is yummy, though the puris are oily. Stomachful @ Rs..40. VFM really.
Journey continues further....next part.
