Hotel Sakshi: The Unforgettable Dhangari Chicken Thali If you are hunting for an authentic, unapologetically flavorful regional non-vegetarian experience, look no further than Hotel Sakshi's Dhangari Chicken Thali. This isn't just a meal; it's a deep dive into the robust culinary traditions of Maharashtra, served with a genuine commitment to taste. The thali arrives as a beautifully composed platter, but the star of the show is, without a doubt, the main Dhangari Chicken Rassa. Known for its distinct, potent blend of freshly ground spices, the gravy is deep, reddish-orange, and incredibly aromatic. It delivers a perfect slow burn of spice that warms you from the inside out, pairing wonderfully with soft bhakri (or jowar roti, if available). Equally impressive is the Chicken Sukka (dry preparation). The meat is marinated and slow-cooked to perfection, allowing the dry spice rub to permeate every fiber. It provides a delightful contrast in texture and intensity to the gravy. The supporting cast of the thali ensures a balanced experience: the cooling, tangy Solkadhi is essential for cutting through the richness, while the other accompanying rassas (likely Tambda or Pandhra variants) offer subtle shifts in flavor and heat, proving the kitchen's mastery over spice profiles. Fresh onions and lemon wedges complete the simple yet potent setup. Hotel Sakshi might focus less on luxurious ambiance and more on delivering unparalleled flavor and authenticity, which is exactly how traditional Maharashtrian thali joints should be. This thali is a powerful and satisfying meal that will leave a lasting impression. Highly recommended for anyone craving a taste of genuine regional chicken curry.
