Maharashtra Day 2022: Here are few Maharashtrian dishes that you must try

-

Maharashtra Day is grandly celebrated on 1 May every year and marks the anniversary of the state's foundation. Apart from International Labour Day, which falls on the same date as well, people in Maharashtra observe this special day with great zeal and enthusiasm.

The Bombay Reorganization Act came into effect on 1 May, 1960, after several protests demanding the creation of an individual state. The demand for a separate state of Maharashtra was first made by the Sanyukt Maharashtra Andolan.

So, with the Bombay Reorganization Act, the earlier province (Bombay) got divided into two states - Gujarat and Maharashtra. Those who were speaking Kutchi and Gujarati, became part of Gujarat, while those who spoke Konkani and Marathi became part of Maharashtra. This division of the state was done on the basis of the language that people spoke.

Maharashtra remains famous for its cuisine. From the lip-smacking puran poli to the delicious pav bhaji, there is no dearth of dishes in the state for a foodie to try. On Maharashtra Day, here are few Maharashtrian dishes that you must try:

Pav Bhaji: This is one of the most famous and easy Maharashtrian dishes that anyone should try. It consists of a thick vegetable curry served with soft bread rolls.

Puran Poli: This delicious dish is a sweet version of paratha. The stuffing inside the paratha is made from jaggery, yellow gram, cardamom powder, dal, plain flour and ghee. It is a popular dish in the state during any festive occasion and can be eaten at any time.

Ragda Pattice: A big part of Maharashtra’s delicious street food, this flavourful dish is prepared using curried dried peas and potato patties. The patties are dipped in the gravy (ragda) and topped with chutneys.

Misal Pav: This is one of the most famous Maharashtrian dishes which is believed to be the king of street food. This dish consists of pav (Indian bread roll) and misal, which is a spicy curry made out of moth beans. Before serving, the dish is garnished with farsan, sev, aloo laccha, among other items.

Thalipeeth: It is a multi-grain pancake that is also savoured in the region of North Karnataka. This famous Maharashtrian dish is made from a special type of flour called ‘bhajanee’. The flour comprises wheat, bajra, roasted grains like rice, jowar and legumes such as chana and urad. After preparing the dough, mix it with finely chopped onions, coriander, and other vegetables and spices, before frying the mix on a girdle.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
