For ne it has to be marathi.
Ppl either know it for misal pav or mutton
But it has probably the most flavourful SEAFOOD and extremely decadent plant based dishes (masvadi looking at you) and hybrid dishes like veg kolhapuri some chicken indo chinese dishes varhadi paneer etc
Not to mention their masalas and snacks. But it can be a bit spicy too though

The Recipes
Crispy Seed-Tempered Sprouts Chilla
Step 1: In a blender, add the boiled sprouts, green chillies, ginger, garlic, turmeric, jeera masala, black pepper, kasuri methi, salt, and a small splash of water. Blend until it forms a thick, smooth paste.
Step 2: Transfer the paste to a mixing bowl. Stir in 1 cup of suji and a dollop of curd. Mix thoroughly until you have a smooth, spreadable batter. Let it rest for a few minutes.
Step 3: Heat your pan and spray a tiny bit of oil. Sprinkle a handful of white sesame seeds and black mustard seeds directly onto the pan.
Step 4: Immediately pour a ladle of the batter right over the seeds, spread it thin, and cook until both sides are golden-brown and crispy.
2. Fiery Kashmiri Pan-Seared Paneer
Step 1: Cut your paneer into thick rectangles and make shallow cross-cuts (scores) on the surface so the spices sink in.
Step 2: Coat the slabs evenly with Kashmiri chilli powder, black pepper, and chaat masala.
Step 3: Sear them on a hot pan on high heat for 2 to 3 minutes until the edges are beautifully charred and crunchy.
3. Smoky Roasted Capsicum & Paneer Sauce
Step 1: Blend the roasted capsicum, paneer, curd, black pepper, and black salt together until completely smooth and creamy. Top with a pinch of herbs or chili flakes.
