A-Z

On this blog, I've worked on two projects, the A to Z of Marathi Food and the A to Z of Indian Vegetables.

This page provides convenient links to posts from these two projects.

The A to Z of Marathi Food
What is Marathi food? I come from the state of Maharashtra on the West coast of India, home to the megacity of Bombay/Mumbai. Marathi is the language of this state. Marathi food or Maharashtrian food is the cuisine of this state. This project was my journey through some of the classic dishes of this state of India.
