Pav bhaji, the richly spiced mish-mash of boiled vegetables, has an ardent following beyond the bustling streets of Mumbai, its place of origin. The dish has made a name for itself world over for its creamy, buttery and spicy mix of flavours and textures. Kadi Tucker, a self-proclaimed polyglot and Bollywood aficionado from Los Angeles, shared a video that won the hearts of Maharashtrians and Marathi-speaking people everywhere! Watch it below!

In a video that Kadi shared on January 17, 2025, she makes some delicious Pav Bhaji because that’s what she was craving. Now, it’s not uncommon to see non-Indians making Indian recipes. What’s uncommon is seeing non-Indians speak fluent Marathi – which is what she did!
She said phrases like “Aaj mala pav bhaji pahije” (Today, I want Pav Bhaji). Seeing her speak such fluent Marathi was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for a number of people who saw the video. A number of people showered her with praises and envyingly admired her pav bhaji.
The video showcased both her linguistic as well as her culinary skills. Not only did she surprise the viewers with her Marathi skills, but she also surprised them with how well the pav bhaji was made.
