Top 5 Traditional Maharashtrian Dishes You Can Make with Our Masalas
07 Oct 2025

Have you ever taken the first bite of masale bhaat or bharli vangi and instantly felt like you’re back in your mother’s kitchen? That’s the magic of authentic Maharashtrian spices — they don’t just add flavour, they awaken memories.

At Shree Siddhivinayak Masale, every packet carries that same emotion — the warmth of homemade food, the balance of spice, and the nostalgia of festivals. Whether it’s a weekday dinner or a festive feast, our range of masalas helps you recreate the true taste of Maharashtra right in your kitchen.

Let’s explore five timeless dishes that capture the heart of every Maharashtrian household — made effortlessly with our traditional blends.

 1. Bharli Vangi (Stuffed Brinjal)

The King of Everyday Delights

Bharli Vangi is a dish in which small brinjals are lovingly stuffed with a rich, spiced filling made with goda masala, coconut, and peanuts. It’s slow-cooked to perfection, letting every spice mingle beautifully.

Pro Tip:

  • Roast the masala lightly in oil before stuffing.
  • Pair it with bhakri or chapati for the full village-style feel.

Try it with Shree Siddhivinayak’s Goda Masala to bring out that authentic earthy sweetness that makes this dish unforgettable.

2. Amti (Maharashtrian Dal Curry)

Comfort in a Bowl

Amti is not just dal — it’s an emotion. Mildly tangy, a little sweet, and perfectly spiced, this dish reflects balance — a true trait of Maharashtrian masala cooking.

Quick Recipe:

  • Toor dal + tamarind pulp + jaggery + our special masala.
  • Garnish with fresh coriander and ghee.

Each spoonful feels like a hug from home — simple, nourishing, and filled with love.

3. Kolhapuri Misal Pav

The Fiery Star of Maharashtra

A street favourite, Misal Pav is known for its bold, spicy tarri (gravy). The secret lies in using Kolhapuri masala, which adds depth, aroma, and a punch that awakens all the senses.

Cooking Tip:

  • Always fry the masala until it releases oil — that’s when you know it’s ready!
  • Top it with farsan, onion, and a squeeze of lemon for that classic taste.

Serve it hot and watch everyone go silent — because when it’s Kolhapuri, words take a backseat!

4. The Festive Rice That Speaks Tradition

Masale Bhaat is a must-have at every Maharashtrian wedding or festival. It’s a spiced rice dish made with vegetables, ghee, and our signature blend of pure Indian spices.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Bursting with aroma from cloves, cinnamon, and bay leaves.
  • Perfect for festive feasts or even a quick lunchbox meal.

When you cook Masale Bhaat with Shree Siddhivinayak Masale, the fragrance fills your entire home — reminding everyone that simple food can still feel royal.

5. Upwas Thalipeeth

Wholesome Goodness for Fasting Days

Who says fasting food has to be boring? Our upwas flour makes Thalipeeth light, crisp, and full of flavour. Made from rajgira, sabudana, and bhagar — it’s the perfect combination of nutrition and taste.

Make It Like This:

  • Mix the flour with boiled potatoes, cumin, green chilli, and salt.
  • Pan roast with ghee until golden brown.

Add a side of dahi or peanut chutney, and your fasting meal turns into a festival on its own!

The Art of Balancing Flavours

Maharashtrian cooking is all about harmony — where every spice knows its place. The subtle sweetness of Goda Masala brings warmth and depth, while the fiery strength of Kolhapuri Masala adds passion and boldness. Dishes like amti remind us that comfort lies in simplicity, and even the humblest ingredients can sing when blended with care.

This balance is what makes Maharashtrian cuisine so soulful — it doesn’t aim to impress with extravagance, but with emotion. Every recipe is a story passed from one generation to the next, carrying not just taste but tradition. At Shree Siddhivinayak Masale, we honour this legacy by preserving that delicate balance — where spice meets soul, and every bite feels like home.
