Rodga: Rodga are wheat flour buns made in Vidarbha. It is a traditional recipe which is very rarely found in other parts of the state. The dish takes some more time for preparation and is thus not commonly made. So this festival is a good time you can taste it if you haven't before. 

Nagpuri Vada Bhat: As the name suggests, the recipe comes from Nagpur. It is a very special recipe made during celebratory occasions. Vada are dumplings made from lentils. It is very much like a Medu wada and served along with flavoured Tadka.

Santra Barfee: From the land of oranges, Nagpur, the santra barfee is a much loved sweet among the people. It is in fact, a signature dish from Nagpur and people get in huge amounts as it is not easily available anywhere else.

These are just some of the items that will available during the weekend. So if you have been craving to taste some of the traditional and very authentic dishes from Maharashtra, you know where you should be heading.
