One of the best part of life is to tinker with your taste buds 🙂 and I get this chance here two times in a year, one when I go to the Bhimthadi jatra at Pune and second when I go for the weekend food fest – Pavanathadi Jatra organized by PCMC.

You get vegetarian and non-vegetarian homely food directly from the kitchen of women who do this day in day out to run their houses. Another part of interest to me is exhibition stalls by the Self Help Groups (SHGS) where different hand made clothing, papad, pickles, masalas, arts are kept on sale.

PCMC management looks more proficient than it was last year, so i was bit surprised and happy too.

Location of Pavanathadi jatra is PWD ground Sangvi.

Here is a video shot by me during this food festival – interesting to see how they make such large Puran Poli easily
Artists are performing Jagaran Gondhal (this is typical dance and music combination playes throughout the night after the marriage ceremony in villages)At the entry gate another troop is performing traditional Sanai vadan, which is normally performed during Indian Marriages (again at the entry gate)

Huge crowd to enjoy local famous band performers…
Arrangement was pretty good compared to the last year.

 Pavanathadi Jatra entrance was not that grand as the Bhim thadi jatra was .. but its ok, I was more interested in the food quality rather than spending on the entrance, and the food quality was definitely better than the Bhimthadi Jatra at Pune few months back.

entrance gate of PAvana Thadi Jatra

And the Pomfret Fish ready to fry .. It was so mouth watering and yummy …

And the other local fishes like river fish, bangada, surmai … with quite different taste … Try them for sure …

Right photo shows typical dish from Konkan called as Ukadiche Modak … it is steamed dish with stuffing of coconut and sugar plus other ingredients … the stall was so crowdy that i was not able to get taste of it 🙁

One more stall with typical dish called as Purnache Mande, you can see lady bouncing Mande in hands, then she shall put on inverted utensil for roasting .. one manda will be suffice for two of u for sure …

At last we are packing things for home for friends .. You can see a typical stall with team of women working hard to get the best out of skills developed over years 🙂
The group was happy to be photographed for the blog .. they do ask who are the readers for this .. I could explain them a bit about blog but !!! .. leave it … they were happy …

 Gavran (village) chicken (not broiler ) getting ready on handi .. I also tasted this dish and can’t tell u how tasty it was …. look at the colour …. just go for it ..

Finally while I was on the way out …  I saw happy face man selling Chana Phutana …
He requested to get photographed & for that he offered me chana for free ! ..

So final verdict is that if you are food lover … Pavanathadi is must to go … Cheers !!

    Arrangement of Pawana Thadi is very nice always but Its vary bad experience that, on current year i.e. March, 2020 arrangement of stall’s are hopless and useless……. I think the arranger has lapse the main purpose of Pawanathadi i.e. to concentrate on business of all ‘Bachat Gat’ , to give equal importance to all types of stall, this year arranger gives importance only to Non-Veg stall which results vary high bad impact on other stall holder womes…..

    As per my opinion current year Pawana Thadi is gone failure………………….

    Hope PCMC will solve all these above said and not said issues… by their won effort next year and not to hand over management / arrangement to any personal event arrange ……. as their mindset are different and mindset require for Pawanthadi are different……………

    please try to solve all these issue next year and try to arrange all stall stystem as per previous years…i.e.2019….. and back years…..
