Varan
Veg
A simple, unspiced toor dal cooked to a silky softness with turmeric and a ghost of asafoetida, finished with a spoon of ghee — the soul of the Maharashtrian home plate. Always served first over rice with a pour of ghee before the rest of the meal arrives, varan is the quiet anchor around which the entire Marathi thali is built.
