Thinking why the “Organe City’ must be on your bucket list? Here we have scouted major reasons that will make you visit the majestic city more than once.

Nagpur - A vibrant city in the heart of India
Nagpur has much to reveal on its cultural fronts, with the Deekshabhoomi being a cave of pilgrimage for Buddhists, and Sitabuldi Fort is a commanding fort having a view of the city around. The Nagpur Central Museum comes under the category of the oldest in India, housing ancient artefacts speaking something about the history relating to this region.

Nagpur’s Unique Cuisine
Saoji food is said to be the signature cuisine of Nagpur. Saoji dishes are very spicy and essentially non-vegetarian. The curries are made with trotters, chicken, and offal, and cooked with a host of spices. Special spices used in the food give Saoji dishes a different taste. These dishes are usually prepared by people of the Halba Koshti community.

The spices used in these dishes have about 32 ingredients and are of three types. Bhukri masala has 12 ingredients, kala masala has 20, and batlo is a fresh paste of garlic, ginger, cumin, and onion. You can try prawn, fish, and egg curries, chicken, and goat meat geared up with Indian flatbread and rice.
