We often wonder why Mumbai doesn’t have sufficient platforms to celebrate the home state’s traditional culinary fare. So, when we heard about Ikai Maharashtra’s new outlet at Terminal 2 (Departure) of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSIA), we were keen to sample the fare to see if it stays true to the ‘assal’ (genuine) Maharashtrian taste.
When our tasting sample arrives in the newsroom, the illustrations on the gift boxes saluting Mumbai’s icons — from its landmarks to its auto rickshaws and BEST buses — grab eyeballs immediately. We start with the Konkani kaaju chi bhajji (Rs 800). While the fresh cashews, spice mix and crunchy coating complement each other to make for a tasty finger snack; added tangy flavour by kokum or amchur could have enhanced the taste, considering it is a widely used flavour in Konkani cuisine.
