A plate of bhujing, a dish made of chicken and poha that's indigenous to Agashi village

We must confess that we had never heard of bhujing before we came across a food-themed travel being hosting every alternate weekend till the monsoon starts. “Bhujing is basically poha chicken, which is indigenous to Agashi village next to Virar. The locals have their own masala, which they marinate the meat with before piercing it with skewers and cooking it with potatoes over a charcoal fire. The barbecued chicken and potatoes are then mixed with the poha. So it’s like a chicken biryani. Except that poha replaces rice here, and the masala is also different,” says Anurag Rane, co-partner, The Bhookha Beirdo, which is co-hosting the event along with Wanderknots and The Spunk Society.
