What is the one thing a Maharashtrian would always request for in their meal? The answer is simple, a spicy Kolhapuri thecha on the side. The Paneer Thecha Bao (Rs 425) is an interesting dish. The paneer is soft and mildly spiced, and the thecha adds a nice green chilli punch that gives the slider its main character energy.

The blue curacao buns are light and easy on the stomach, making it a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing snack. That said, the flavours don’t necessarily come together because the thecha in some bites overpowered the paneer. We’d like to savour more zing in the overall mix.
