Sangam (Solapur)

The real Maharashtra?

In India, to get the flavour of a state, you have to step outside the big cities, or so they say. As far as flavour in its most literal sense is concerned, Sangam in Solapur gives you what nothing in Mumbai or Pune can. Here is where you can feast on the largest batata vadas (fried potato dumplings that form an essential element of the iconic Mumbai vada pav) in Maharashtra. Being the size of tennis balls, these vadas are best enjoyed with the sweet and sour chutney that you get here. However, before you are left feeling tangy and spicy inside your mouth, take a bite of the delightful balushahi, once again a sweetmeat rare in Mumbai but quite popular in these parts. The soft, brown cuboidal piece is the perfect dessert for your meal. You can, of course, wash everything down with the sweetest coffee you will ever find in Maharashtra. Sangam then is where the sweet meets the spicy, and what better place for the twain to meet than your breakfast table?
