Zunka Bhakar in MBP

Zunka Bhakar in Mahape

This a small snack house named Aswad Food Centre in Mahape, almost opposite the Ramada hotel. This place serves regular lunch menu and then tea and snacks. It has place to seat around 20, pretty clean and airy as its in the open.
My first visit to this place was along with one of my friend who suggested that this place serves the best Zunka Bhakar. I was new to Mumbai and never heard of this dish. However as i am a food enthusiast, I could not say no. So we went to this place and I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of that dish.
The dish has 2 parts the Zunka and then the Bhakari. Zunka is a suppose to be curry made out of chick pea atta or commonly called the Chana dal atta or the Besan. The curry has thick gravy and a tadka is added for that extra spice and oil. While you order you need to mention the level of spice you prefer. (Low, medium and high)
The part 2 is the Bhakari. Bhakari is usually made of millets like Jawar, Bajra or Rice flour. This place serves the Bhakari made from Jawar. Jawar is suppose to be healthy at the same time is pretty filling.
Zunka Bhakar is a Maharashtrian dish and served is most of the restaurants. However i would always prefer this place. I have tasted Zunka bhakar in many places but then my taste buds say this is the best.

So next time you are in MBP (Millennium Business Park) go on and have a plate of Zunka Bhakar (Medium spice). This is served with Chilly chutney and I suggest you also order Chass (Butter milk) along.
