Appa's canteen

If you happen to pass Deccan Gymkhana ground coming from Chitale's side, you can't miss the queue of people outside Appa's canteen eating "sabudana khichadi", a famous Maharashtrian snack dish.


Appa's canteen is a very old institution.
The canteen also serves "khamang kakadi" a cucumber raita which tastes sweet and has lots of groundnuts. The sabudana khichadi is absolutely fabulous.

Here is an article from a website on the canteen


Yesterday I took couple of plates home and enjoyed it. I had a bottle of Chateau d'ori Merlot.

So what a strange combination!. Sabudana Khichadi and red wine!

Three cheers for the new India!, ready to enjoy western habits but not willing to shake Indian roots
