Coming from the family of “make at home and eat at home”, my childhood always had everything made at home. So much so that, even for huge family gatherings, we made sure that the food felt good both for the taste and heart.
On one such occasion, I had Masale bhaat that felt so good that I ate slowly just to savour each morsel of it for the longest time. That Masale bhaat’s taste is stuck with me till date.
WHAT IS MASALE BHAAT ?
For those new to Masale Bhaat, this dish literally translates to spiced rice. This rice dish has all the dry spices into it along with an array of vegetables such as potatoes, french beans, tondli(ivy gourd) to name a few. The medley of soft rice and vegetables spiked with spices like bay leaves, peppercorns and star anise make the rice more appealing than any other.
On most of the social gatherings such as weddings, receptions or babyshower, Masale Bhaat is the USP of a Maharashtrian Thaali. Come what may, no Maharashtrian would ever say NO to this Masale Bhaat with a dollop of pure ghee. Its absolutely a match made in heaven.
