Bengali Style Chicken & Mutton Paratha in Pune | Chhaya Paratha House Review

Today, I’m taking you to a legendary culinary landmark in Pimpri-Chinchwad—Chhaya Paratha House. Established in 1988, this place isn’t just about food; it’s about a legacy that has spanned nearly four decades.

Located right in Ajmera Complex, this spot is a massive favorite for the hardworking employees of Tata Motors and local students seeking that "homemade" taste. What makes it truly unique is the owner himself, who is originally from Bengali but brings a distinct Mumbai-style touch to his parathas.

What we ordered:
Veg Paratha Thali: You get to choose two parathas from their huge variety. I went with the classic Aloo and Gobi Parathas. They are served with Chole-aloo sabzi, fresh curd, mint chutney, and a dollop of butter.

Non-Veg Thali: This is where things get interesting! We tried the Chicken and Mutton Parathas. The fillings are generous and perfectly spiced, making it one of the few places in Pune where non-veg parathas are the star of the show.

More than just a restaurant:
During my visit, I witnessed something beautiful—a loyal customer who had moved away years ago but returned with his two daughters just to share the taste he grew up with. You can truly sense the long-term relationships and "vintage vibes" this place holds for the people of Pune.

If you’re looking for the absolute gold standard of Seekh Paratha in Mumbai, you have to hit up this legendary spot in Kurla West. Nawab Seekh Corner has been a local institution for decades, famous for their charcoal-grilled kebabs and that iconic “sigdi” culture that keeps the authentic flavors alive.

I tried their full lineup—Buff, Chicken, and Mutton Seekh—paired with that perfectly crispy, deep-fried paratha. The smoky aroma from the grill and that secret spicy mint chutney make this a 10/10 experience every single time.

Whether you’re a regular or it’s your first time navigating the Kurla food lanes, this is one stop you can’t skip!

Sajao Dahi

Village life always has a way of bringing us back to our roots, reminding us of the beauty in simplicity. During my trip to my native village Ghosi Uttarpradesh in December, I tried something truly unique – Sajao Dahi.

Made with love and care, this curd is prepared in earthen pots, slow-cooked over cow dung cakes. The smoky aroma and earthy flavor take it to a whole new level of authenticity. No fancy garnishes, no frills – just the pure, unadulterated taste.

It’s amazing how something so simple can leave such a lasting impression. Have you ever tasted curd like this before?
