Kolhapur doesn't whisper. It roars. And our Bhadang - a puffed rice preparation laced with the city's signature fire - is no different. It's loud, proud, and fearless. Every spoonful crackles with garlic, red chilli, mustard seeds, and the unmistakable scent of Kolhapuri masala - a spice blend as bold as the region itself.
But beyond the heat is comfort. A snack shared on train rides, in family courtyards, and college canteens. Made with care, not shortcuts. No bad oils. Just honest, fiery soul.
