From Anushka Sharma's social media feed, we know that she's a foodie and likes to treat herself to scrumptious meals from different cuisines. This Sunday, Anushka decided to gorge on Maharashtrian food served in the traditional way, on a banana leaf. She shared a photo on Instagram Stories where we can see varan bhaat (dal and rice) with dollops of toop (ghee) and masala bhaat (rice dish) cooked in a range of spices and vegetables like green peas. Her "natural" platter also featured a number of indulgent curries, loncha and what appeared to be arbi ke patte ke pakode. She added a sticker that read, "Time for food.”
