Popular Indian music festival NH7 Weekender has been cancelled in Pune, hours before it was supposed to take place at Teerth Fields. Unfortunately, a lot of people may have already been on their way to Pune from Mumbai and other locations after the announcement was made.

While people were all ready to watch Jorja Smith, King, Amit Trivedi and Usha Uthup live, it will now not be possible. Now that you are in the city, you have plenty of time to explore it. However, if you need a guide, the only good thing now that can make people happy is food.

Here is a quick food guide for all that you can explore there:

Indian delights
Khandani Rajdhani, the iconic Thali restaurant, is back with its much-anticipated Swad Kesariya Festival, starting from December 1 across all outlets not only in Mumbai but also in Pune. At the heart of this festival is the Surti Undhiyu, a wholesome and flavorful winter delicacy made with fresh, seasonal vegetables like surti papdi, purple yam, raw bananas, and baby potatoes, slow-cooked with a medley of aromatic spices. Best enjoyed with Masala Puri, this quintessential winter specialty perfectly captures the warmth and spirit of the season. Begin with starters like Tuver Bharmi Kachori, Sarson Ring Dhokla, and Bathua Ka Muthiya, followed by sumptuous mains such as Shahi Angoor ki Sabzi, Haldi Nu Shaak, Gajar Hara Matar Sabzi, and Sarson ka Saag Paneer, paired with breads like Moringa Paratha, Methi Thepla, and Beetroot Puri. Staples like Lilva Surti Dal and Hari Pyaz ki Kadhi, along with rice dishes like Carrot Mint Pulao and Papdi Lilva Baat, round off the savory feast.
