When you visit Rajasthan, Gujrat or Maharastra, you will find that the food habits here are quite different than those in the other parts of India. Another unique place is Goa. The Indian Cuisine at Goa is a mixture of rice, coconut and sea fish.  These are the remnants of the Portuguese influences of the colonial ear. 

The coastal areas of Maharastra also have their food cuisine like that of Goa.  But the hilly areas of Maharastra have their own different types of Indian Food. They mostly depend on wheat; jowar and Bajri, The coastal Konkani districts in Maharastra have their own Saraswat cuisine. 

Staple dishes in Maharastra are mostly bread and rice. They are used in the form of unleavened flat bread made of wheat flour called poli or chapatti. In rural areas they eat Bhakri, flat bread made of jwar and bajra. Indian Rice is also a major staple food in both urban and rural areas of Maharastra.  

Bhaji is one of the most popular Indian Recipes in Maharastra. It is a vegetarian dish with fried vegetables liberally sprinkled with some spices like garlic, ginger, chili powder, green chilis and mustard.  Rassa is a popular variant of the Bhaji and is mostly made of potato and cauliflower. Most of the Maharastrian dishes are prepared with groundnut oil. Chicken, mutton, fish and sea food are used for non-vegetarian dishes.
