Mahalaxmi Saras :-
• January seems to be the season for food festivals in Mumbai, and one of the grandest of them is on
at BKC MMRDA Grounds – the Mahalaxmi Saras Mela. On for approximately 10 days every
January, this exhibition showcases the foods and cuisines of Maharashtra along with a smattering of
stalls from across the country. The Mela starts at around 10 am daily. Make sure you take a shopping
bag and a decent amount of cash with you. There’s a huge food court serving delicacies from all over
Maharashtra, so carry containers if you want to parcel food to enjoy later at home. As you enter and
stroll through the lanes of stalls, you will see a spice mixes and other food items on sale alongside
vendors selling fabric, garments, handicrafts, décor items, kitchen utensils, jewellery, and lots more.
• My top pick at the exhibition are the stalls selling traditional spice blends from across the state –
kaala masala, laaltikhat, goda masala, Malvani masala and more, varieties of chutneys
and thechas, pickles, and papads and kurdai, puffed grains, chiwdas, chaklis, laddus and other
snacks. You can also buy other grains like nachni and bajra, pulses like masoor, whole moong, rajma
daal (split rajma), jaggery, fresh kokum, mustard seeds, dried fish, and a whole lot of other
interesting local ingredients.
• In addition to offering the rural artisans a prospect to showcase their creativity and creations, the
annual occasion would expose them to the city markets, help redesign and sell their products in
conformity with the latest trend.
