Savoring some of the best and healthiest homegrown vegetables of the region along with witnessing the nature at its full blossom is what describes Mahabaleshwar well. Hence, when you are visiting, do not be surprised if you see hordes of cherry tomatoes, corn, mulberries and strawberries displayed at the local stores for sale. Since these fruits and vegetables are locally grown, it provides you with a unique taste that is unmatched by any other area. For example, you certainly cannot miss the very popular strawberry with cream or corn pattice. Do not forget to taste some Vada Pav, if you happen to be near the popular Hanuman Temple. VadaPav is a staple in Maharashtrian cuisine. Among the many eatables available in Mahabaleshwar, Chikki is not to be missed as it is one of the specialities of this region.
