Just a few corrections for fellow travelers:
1. Kulcha and Paratha is available in any North Indian restaurant in any part of India. It is not restricted to Kashmir / Punjab or North India as the article suggests.
2. Vade originated in South India and not Western India. It is available in any South Indian restaurant in any part of India. It is typically eaten with Idlies. If you pick any menu in a South Indian restaurant you'll find that it is written as "Idly-Vada" (not to be confused with Vada-Pav).
3. Thalipeth is also available in North Karnataka apart from Maharashtra.
4. Bhakri is also available in North Karnataka.
5. Pav is available in any North Indian restaurant in any part of India. Not restricted to Mumbai/Goa.
- bluesmoon 10y agoVade and Vada are different things. Vade is a very Maharashtrian thing (think daal vadi) and looks nothing like either medu vada or aloo bonda (vada pav) Also, if you're in the US, you can get most of these frozen in any medium sized Indian store.

- shripadk 10y agoAh ok I get what you are saying. The thing is, in Karnataka, we use Vade/Vada interchangeably for "Medu Vada" even though it is not the same as "Vada" in "Vada Pav". Hence the confusion. Thanks for the correction!
- bluesmoon 10y agoI hear you. I've lived in both states. I also think it's cool that the Medu Vada is different in Coastal Karnataka (Mangalore/Konkan region), Inner Karnataka, Goa & Tamil Nadu.
