Chai ‘N’ Chat with Sonali ☕️✨
Indian food gets a reputation for being all about heat. But if you've ever sat down to a proper Maharashtrian thali, you know there's something more interesting going on.
Sweet. Sour. Spicy. Bitter. All on one plate, all at the same time — and every element is there for a reason.
Sonali breaks down the art of the Maharashtrian thali and why that balance of flavours isn't just about taste. It's about how the meal is designed to make you feel.
Watch the full Chai 'N' Chat and see it for yourself.

Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside… Sabudana Vada is more than just a snack 🤤
Traditionally made during fasting periods in India, especially during festivals like Navratri, this dish is rooted in simplicity, using ingredients like tapioca pearls, potatoes and peanuts to create something incredibly satisfying.
Over time, it’s become a beloved street food across Maharashtra, enjoyed well beyond fasting days.
Golden fried, perfectly spiced, and served hot - it’s the kind of dish that brings comfort in every bite.
Have you tried Sabudana Vada before? 🌶️
