WEST INDIAN CUISINE
Western India has four major food groups Rajasthani, Gujarati,
Maharashtrian and Goan. The Goan cuisine is a mixture of the
traditional cuisine with a heavy use of rice, coconut and sea fish
and some Portuguese influence from the colonial era.
Maharashtrian cuisine is has mainly two sections defined by the
geographical sections.
The coastal regions similar to Goa depend more on rice, coconut,
and fish while the hilly and plateau regions use groundnut in place
of coconut and depend more on wheat, jowar and Bajri. Saraswat
cuisine forms an important part of coastal Konkani Indian cuisine.
Gujarati Cuisine is predominantly vegetarian. Many gujarati dishes
have a beld of sweetness.
Maharashtrian cuisine covers a wide range from being extremely
mild to very spicy dishes. Although gaining popularity in India, it
remains a mystery to most westerners. Wheat, rice, jowar,
vegetables, lentils and fruit form important components of
Maharashtrian diet. Popular dishes include puran poli and aamras.
