PIYUSH
हाण गणप्या हाण
Prakash Dugdha Mandir,
This Sunday morning my culinary journey started from Prakash Dugdha Mandir opp. Phadke Wadi Ganesh Mandir, near Sicka Nagar V.P.Road, Mumbai.
It is one of the oldest Marathi restaurants who have maintained the same age-old original menu and the original look and same taste, and the same exceptionally good quality for last so many decades. In a period where other Maharastrian restaurants, started serving Punjabi, South Indian dishes to attract customers, Prakash has strongly refused to change and adhered to Pure and only Marathi snacks. Please note that the specialty items have schedule about the servings e.g. On Sunday - Batata Puri, Samosa, Moong Bhaji, Dahi Vada, Monday – Batata Puri, Sabudana Vada and so on.
For breakfast I choose Dahi Misal. Prakash have unique way of preparing Misal. It’s different from others. It consists of Vangi Pohe, Batata Bhaji, Mataki Usal, Chana Patal Usal, Sev, Chivda and Dahi and I am addicted to its taste and I cannot stay away from it.
The limited items available are Vangi Pohe, Batata Bhaji, Sabudana Khichadi, Batata Puri, Samosa, Moong Bhaji, Dahi Vada, Sabudana Vada, Mataki Usal ( But they refused to serve Pav along with usal) and Masala Dudh. The surrounding area being dominated by Gujarathi community, no wonder Prakash is patronized largely by them.
I am quite sure one fine day, mortal must have asked GOD, why the Nectar, is not meant for him? And then he must have been told to go to Prakash for Piyush. You see, in Kaliyug the Nectar has taken form of “PIYUSH”.
Even though Prakash have limited sitting capacity and unwieldy area, it’s worth while visiting them.
