What makes Bedekar different
| Bread, not pav | Two bread slices instead of pav. Bread soaks the tarri better |
| Sweet then spicy | Clear sweet note at the start, then mild heat. Old Puneri style |
| No red oily kat | Nothing like Kolhapuri misal. Farsan, sev, onion, potato, homemade masala |
| One plate, one person | A plate cannot be shared. That is their rule |
| Fasting options | Upwas Misal during certain fasts, and a Jain version |
