Zunka anyone ?? What on earth could this be? (Obviously for anyone with no Hindi or Marathi background) Exactly! that was my first thought when I heard this name from a colleague who brought this beautiful dish for a potluck. It was so colourful and I couldn't resist my temptation to explore it. Zunka is a humble Maharashtrian dish… almost a staple there, simply meaning stir-fry, smeared with besan, a quicker version of Usili or Pithali, often made with just onions.
