Bastard doesn’t write Scopus indexed papers and ensures Scopus minded assholes also are not writing them. This is a good thing.
Unpopular opinion. Maharashtra cuisine is way better than Bengali cuisine. Let me explain.
When India got potato and tomato from South America, the Maharashtrians made critically acclaimed dishes like vada pav and pav bhaji. What did the Bengalis do? They defiled Awadhi biryani by adding potato and made a soggy version of French fries called Aloo bhaja.
Go to any wedding/corporate buffet in India and the biggest line is near the Veg Kolhapuri. This delicious vegetable melange from Maharashtra is a crowd pleaser and also a health food. Compare it to Bengali veg slop like labra chochchori which is never served in joyous occasions.
Maharashtrians know their seafood. Dishes like surmai fry, Malwani fish, prawn koliwada, etc showcase the fine coastline of this beautiful state. Bengal has a far bigger coastline than Maharashtra but Bengali cuisine uses gutter fish like Rohu, Katla and Ilish. Nowadays these are imported from Gujarat because Bengali rivers produce inferior fish.
Maharashtra has a crowd pleaser snack calked Korhimbir vadi. This fried coriander cake unlocks the flavors of the tea that goes along with it. Bengali chop on the otherhand is a disgusting beetroot-potaro mash covered in bread crumbs.
Maharashtra has a critically acclaimed tikhat dal which is sour and spicy, and the precursor of sambhar. Bengal mixes fish head leftovers in their dal and it stinks.
Maharashtra has an elegant elaichi and fruit flavored dessert called shrikhand. Bengali mishti doi is just curd mixed with sugar and desperation.
Balls. Koshy’s is the best in Kolkata.

Learn enough Kannada to do 30 second conversations, you will become a new person and see better. Also figure out a good time to go—waiters may have to handle four or five tables at peak.
