Oh. You should have had the world famous "Tambda Pandhra rassa chicken / mutton thali" while in Kolhapur. If you ever visit it again, please visit the Panhala fort and on that fort itself you should eat the chicken/mutton thali at the famous "Gauri Dining" restaurant. You will fell in love with it.❤
@@flyingblackhorse unfortunately we only had 1 day there as we were travelling somewhere else, but if I go back I will try it thanks for the suggestion!
When any dish is spicy just ask for a lemon piece squeeze it in n reduces spiciness....n always have buttermilk or solkadhi so stomach is OK after eating it....
You are a good person… THANKS for giving honest, natural account of your time without patronizing etc.. regret your Pune tuk tuk experience .. my humble take with my limited exposure: that area of Pune BUND GARDEN - OSHO RAJNISH ASHEAM - foreigners visiting that area have put this habit of paying rilsha folks a bit too much as they compare it to their home Country .. In the 90s I got denied a riskha almost all the times as these guys waited for foreigners … one foreigner and half a day profit done :) :) :) Aaaah -- and josh asking for more Tarrri -- man he is something 😀😀😀😆😆😆😆 you need to have restroom handy before you do that 😅😅
@@astromnc2336 thank you I’m glad you think so. I usually am okay with paying a bit more than locals as I know that’s just the way, but him trying to go from 100 to 250 was just ridiculous and then threatening us as well… I would have given him a tip anyway if he was nice to us which is a shame. Yes Josh is crazy and can’t get enough of the spicy food 😂
You made the biggest mistake of your life, you tried Misal for the first time at Bavda Misal. It was undoubtedly the best Misal in kolhapur, even I used to go there at least once a month but since covid-19 it lost its charm.
@@Charlottemihell You need atleast four days to explore the city and main tourist spots here, also after the recent renovations I would suggest you both to visit us again if possible.
You missed Kolhapurs Bhel, Khandoli (Egg Receipe) and the famous Tambda Pandhra Rassaa....
Unfortunately I only had 1 day here so wasn’t able to do everything but hopefully I will be back at some point 🙏🏻
Farsan has been decreasing in recent times in Kolhapuri misal. There has been an increase in the use of Chiwda for spiciness in misals.
That’s interesting to know! It was delicious misal I miss the Maharashtran foods

I am sure you can handle the spice level but still be careful .Mild is always safe and good. Have a great time ahead.
@@1.9tdilove71 I always thought I was good with spice but I’m thinking it’s just England’s version of “spicy” that I can handle 🤣 thank you 🙏🏻
When any dish is spicy just ask for a lemon piece squeeze it in n reduces spiciness....n always have buttermilk or solkadhi so stomach is OK after eating it....
