Saoji or Savji is a popular cuisine from the Nagpur region of Maharashtra. The cuisine is known for being spicy, fiery and predominantly non vegetarian. The ingredients used are fairly simple however, the combination makes it very spicy.

In the traditional saoji cuisine, a special variety of chilies are used called the Bhiwapuri chilies, which gives the dish the distinctive spicy flavour and red colour. Even though, the saoji refers to a spicy and hot, we have toned down the spice levels so that people of all age group can enjoy. You can increase the level of spices and chilies if you like it more spicy. The freshly ground saoji masala is prepared to induce more flavour into the dish.
