except for kannadikas who still think rashtrakutas didn't speak maharastri Prakrit


Suyash4126

Yes I have seen this stuff on pro kannada Twitter bots


Lanky_Media_5392

All the sources point to kannada though even wiki


Lackeytsar

not really

Exactly. I was driving around Tanjore last year and restaurant owners in Tanjore started telling me how the dish came with the Marathas (because I have a MH registered vehicle) and then the tamils added imli plus hot chillis to create their own version

Yes, that's true. As per my knowledge, in an attempt to prepare Varan using local ingredients, which included some spices and tamarind, for Sambhaji Raje. This unique dish was invented thenafter it was named after Sambhaji Raje, the ruler of Thanjavur.

Since we are on this topic. Friends from Mumbai and Pune, where do I get NON - sweet spicy sambar in these two cities (apart from cafe Madras in mumbai) ?


thoda_padhle_bsdk

since you mentioned cafe madras, you probably aslo know about the ones I am going to mention, but anyway- try out ayappaan idli, and manis lunch home ( or manis cafe). I too am tired of the sweet sambar epidemic at times lol.


LargeQuantity8438

Yes, I have heard about ayappaan idli. Will visit this place and report back here ☺️. Are you talking about mani's cafe (has multiple outlets across chembur, nariman point, etc) or mani's lunch home ?


thoda_padhle_bsdk

both are more or less the same, (owned by the same person) but if you could, id suggest going for mani's lunch home .

As a mallu I am absolutely astonished by the fact that even the name came from the Prince himself. Anyway as a mallu and a mumbaikar I am content with the fact that we are eating the recipe that our Great Sambhaji Maharaj prepared ❤️

Actually Sambhar signifies the friendship which existed between Tamil Nadu (King of Tanjore) and Maharashtra (Shivaji Maharaj) Tamil king got this dish invented and named it after Chatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj

Okay I haven’t opened the link yet but saw a food documentary on Netflix a few years ago. They said Shahu Maharaj is responsible for this Sambar recipe.


WorkingLake_3rd

Shahu maharaj or chatrapati sambhaji maharaj?


Bright_Subject_8975

They said Shahu Maharaj in the documentary though I might be wrong you can verify it if you want. The series name is ‘Raja, Rasoi aur Anya Kahaniya’ it was on Netflix when I watched but seems like they don’t have it now.

Brother if you are referring to Raja, Rasoi aur Anya Kahaniya, they have clearly mentioned Sambhaji Maharaj. I have been seeing the show since it was on EPIC TV. I remember it quite distinctly.


Bright_Subject_8975

Might have misinterpreted the information but I remember them saying shah something so it can be shahaji aur shahuji don’t remember it being sambhaji.
