No bigger battle was ever won without winning the smaller ones first.

Happy to share Chowder Singh now ranks No 1 on certain keywords on Google.

No 1 on Google is never easy. Top 10 is considered excellent and Top 5 brilliant.

These are smaller keywords with lesser traffic, but it’s important to win the smaller battles first.

Went back to Nagpur Hotel in Sadashiv Peth #Pune after 12 years. Glad to see them maintain their standards. They serve Saoji style of food and their Mutton Rassa and Fry are delicious. Served with jowar chi bhakri, which’s made on charcoal.

One of Pune’s hidden gems

[Mohit Balachandran @ChowderSingh]

The Bolhai chi Mutton is a #Pune phenomenon. In Pune and surrounding areas of Ahmednagar and Satara. Hindu owned restaurants serve sheep and not goat meat. Goat meat is forbidden according to local customs

Oh Pune! How much I’ve missed you

So happy to be back at Nagpur Hotel after 12 years. Bigger fancier places have opened up around it, but this little gem continues to do what it does best - Bholaichi mutton fry with jowar chi bhakri

Hmmm!! Interesting thought - Idli Pattice

[Mohammed Futurewala @MFuturewala]

The divine combination of Idli and Wada Pav gives birth to Idli Pattice in Pune:)

Bajirao Mastani is love story, a book and a film, but is also an Orange and Pineapple drink with ice cream

Mastani is Pune’s most favourite drink. Here’s how the drink got its name

Finally found a decent Pav Bhaji in Bombay - Classic Veg restaurant in Goregaon East

Pav Bhaji is about quality ingredients and balance. Not loads of butter or masala
