Smita Deo -- author of the cookbook Karwar to Kolhapur Via Mumbai -- would rustle up Kheemyache Gole in pandra rassa or white gravy for her late father-in-law, actor Ramesh Deo.

He was very fond of this rustic Maharashtrian dish, which is actually a unique creation by Smita, and can be enjoyed with steamed rice or bhakris.

The pandra rassa is a lip-smacking, creamy stew of fresh coconut milk, cashews and poppy seeds that's cooked in the goodness of the oil and water that's left behind by the fried mutton balls.

Smita specialises in traditional Maharashtrian non-vegetarian dishes like Satara Mutton, Sev Bhaji, and has been sharing her recipes on her Instagram page Smita Deo Official (external link).

She has a fan base of over 35,000 Insta followers and says, "Cooking is therapeutical for me and feeding makes me feel absolutely happy."
