Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification.*************************************************************************************During combat, any aircraft can be presented with the opportunity to defeat another aircraft in a dogfight. Since cannon firing dogfights are rare nowadays, it leaves aircraft armed with at least short range missiles to be in a position to shoot down another aircraft.There are Several critical factors that affect an outcome of head to head combat ala dogfight.Skill , Training & Flying capabilities of the pilots .How much their body can adjust in manouvers such as Thrust vectoring or cobra and make decisions quickly.Years of flying i.e Experience of the pilot on that particular aircraft as each aircraft is different.Avionics and weapons available ; Range, Accuracy and Reliability .Operational Readiness time (How quickly it can get in Air)Maintainability and Service CielingHuman factors such as calmness, courage to die for your country and mission, and confidence in the air.Lets discuss the subject..___________________________________________________________________________________Depending upon the Skill of the Pilot and the Package its fielded in (AWACS etc) SAB JAS 39 Gripen C / E nick named **SMART FIGHTER…Likely WINs. No dis respect to World’s proven F - 16.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^BASIC DESCRIPTIONSAAB is an Advanced 4.0+ Gen Aircraft a Single-Engine, Single-Seat, Network centric, Shorter range & Lesser Thrust (as comapred to say Rafale / Sukhoi Su 35 Flanker) , Multi - Role , Even Swing Role (meaning it can switch operational role in flight), Combat & Reconnaissance missions. Canard design , with Outstanding Agility , Equipped with sensor-fusion and unique software architecture, Smaller and Easy to maintain. It’s the F-20 Tigershark of contemporary era …The Gripen is the dream come true for a nation (Sweeden) & now an 18 years old platform..SAAB J29 of 1960s was replaced by SAAB DRAKENS , Sweden needed to replace JA-37 Viggen.Before advent of JSF F-35 , it was the JA-37 which had the ‘most powerful engine’ in single engine category fighter, its fuselage became obslete and became exensive to operate. This led to birth of GRIPEN in 1988 - Light , Cost Effective , Maintenance friendly with pioneer in Aerodynamic instability being built-in as concept. Griffin or Gripen is the state of the art fighter incorporating the learnings of its predecessors. The first ‘A version’ was taken into service in 1996 by the Swedish Air Force.“Affordable and the best – the new normal,” is how Håkan Buskhe, CEO and President of Saab, introduced his company’s latest product, the Gripen E, the only modern fighter aircraft that has power, efficiency and flexibility in perfect balance.The JAS 39A, as it emerged, was a true lightweight fighter, with about three-quarters the empty weight of an F-16C and about half the empty weight of the Viggen, the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, or the Dassault Rafale. The Gripen's airframe featured extensive use of composite assemblies to reduce weight. The modest size reduced purchase cost to a degree, and definitely reduced operating cost; made the machine easier to handle on the ground; and gave it a lower radar signature.**********************************************************************************SOME KEY SUB - SYSTEMS :JAS - 39 platform uses US Engine and British Air Frame & Hydraulic / Brake Systems with a German Cannon to Swede Radar & Avionics … A Joint platform with available - off the Shelf systems it seems. Hence the system integration is top of the line.On the other hand its design is based on features of a “Tail - less Delta Wing - Sweep of 45 degree . Front Canard with Wing Tip Pylons config” design , somewhat similar to Typhoon and Rafale family of Jets, with Relaxed Aerodynamic Stability. This design is a Trade - off i.e has pros and cons. It provides Additional Lift, Anti - Stall protection, Less Drag, An instantaneous turn rate, Extreme Agility and Super - Maneuverability ( Say the F-35 couldn't our manoeuvre the JAS-39 Gripen) , at the cost of Stealth and need of very complex Flight Control systems.COCKPIT & DISPLAY SYSTEMThe cockpit has 3 large, full colour, Multi-Function Displays (MFDs) and a wide angle diffractive optics Head-Up Display (HUD) with a holographic combiner. Highly efficient H.M.I integrated to Reduce pilot workload, particularly in combat situations. Hence A Gripen pilot has effective situational awareness, ensuring unrivalled operational success.A word on much fancied term STEALTH -During modern combats , A Fighter jet will probably not enter a Dog fight with its radar ON, Otherwise it will be illuminating screens of SAMs , Early Warning AWACS, EriEyes, Ground Radars, F 35s etc , which means a SAM / AMRAAM would be smelling you for lunch. Stealth will be useful in First strike missions to bomb enemy targets or in a Package formation to remain invisible , remaining at a larger distance from Effective range and feeding info via datalink to forward interceptors and Air Superiority Vehicles.Most 4.0 Generation fighter have Radar Cross Sections of 1.0 to 2.5 m².YET Gripen has a smaller frame with radar cross section R.C.S between 0.5 – 1.0 m² and a frontal RCS of miniature 0.1 m² - A “Sneaky” opponent- because Gripen is a small fighter With the Aerodynamics designed cleverly to avoid sharp corners, fan blades, Contouring pylons with weapons to ‘reflect’ less angle of return & a smaller long-wave radar signature - But without any RAM Coatings. Its NOT Pure Stealth jet - it carries Weapons externally - Yet Gripen's small size makes it harder to see and harder to hit.AESA & EW/ECM (electronic countermeasure) - Its advanced electronic warfare system OR intelligent fighter system, similar to an electronic shield, allows disruption of the enemy’s ability to function effectively. Gripen E/F reduces its likelihood of being detected by relying on its passive sensors, or through active jamming.SELEX Galileo - Raven ES-05 AESA RADAR SYSTEM & IFF (Identification Friends or Foe) systemAESA stands for Active Electronically Scanned Array and means that, in contrast to older generation radars, it has not only one antenna but a full array of small antennas, called elements. This means that the radar can simultaneously and independently track different targets, and also track targets independently of search volumes. It comprises of a radar warning receiver (RWR), enabling the equipped fighter with situational awareness of enemy radar tracking activity. Gripen has Selex Italian Raven ES-OS AESA Radar and Skyward G- infra red-Search-and-Track I.R.S.T cued to the radar .New infrared search and tracksystemGripen E features Selex Skyward G - IRST - A passive system which can be used to track and discover enemies in the air and on the ground by heat signatures. This information is cued with the radar picture for a full situational awareness. Its claimed that with this new technique aircrafts equipped with stealth technology will be detectable.An Infra Red Search and Track I.R.S.T bump is located in front of the cockpit in the nose section, as well as the missile warning system on the air intakes, are the primary external differentiators. Gripen E can turn away and still keep the target illuminated (Needed till Missile hits the Target)General: Fire control radarRe - positionable ‘Swashplat’e for Radar to view 110 degree to the sides, giving the Pilot great situational awareness.High-FrequencyExciter Receiver Unit (EXRHFU): Narrowband and wideband receivers, digital pulse compression, state-of-the-art spectral purity and noise figures.Signal and data processorRadar Processing Unit (RPUSDP): Saab airborne Modular Avionic Computer System (MACS) computer system and parallel COTS based multiprocessor cluster, solid state discs for recordinghttps://saab.com/globalassets/gr...

Volvo Aero Corporation RM12 is a modular, fuel efficient, low bypass ratio afterburning turbofan in the 81.9 KN (18,400lb) thrust class. It is based on the General Electric F-404-400 which has completed several million flight hours in operations worldwide, with several enhancements incorporated by Volvo including increased thrust and bird strike resistance. 60% of the engine's components were built by GE and shipped to Sweden, where they were integrated with the Swedish-built components.Dimensions : Length 14.1 mtrs x 8.4 mtr WingspanGripen C - Airframe Composites : 25%Empty Weight: 14,599 lbs (6622 kg)Speed : Mach 1.8 - 2.0Service Cieling : 65,000 ftMax Take off weight : 31,000 lbsGripen C - Thrust to Weight Ratio 0.91 to 0.94Gripen C: Triplex digital fly-by-wireAESA Radar SELEX RAVEN ES-05 Range 118 miles (190 km)10 Hard Points for WeaponsA 27 mm Caliber Cannon BK-27 MauserBVR Missile M.B.D.A Meteor Radar homing AAM’sPower plant : 1 x 80 KN General Electric’s (GE) F414G Turbofan engineThrust 18,100 lbs with After BunersRange : 1,990 MilesG-Limits: +9/-3Combat turn around air-to-air: 10 minuteshttps://www.diva-portal.org/smas...Existing & NG Gripen will have an edge on most of its competitors in :1. *Swing Role*2.

The IRIS-T is an IR-guided, short-range air-to-air missile, primarily funded by Germany for the Eurofighter. Antiship missiles, such as the SAAB RBS-15 turbojet-powered sea-skimming missile. The Mark 3 version introduced support for precision land attackGripen E can also be integrated with a number of air-to-surface weapons including unguided Mk82, Mk83 and Mk84 bombs, laser-guided bombs such as GBU-12, GBU-16 and GBU-10, and advanced bombs such as GBU-49 and GBU-39. Air-to-surface missiles such as RBS15F ER, TAURUS KEPD 350, AGM-65 Maverick, and MBDA’s dual-mode Brimstone (DMB) can also be integrated into the Gripen E. .** Meteor :German Company MBDA METEOR Beyond Visual Range BVRAAM Air to Air with Active Radar Guidance.The new meteor missile was developed and used Gripen as a test platform. Meteor offers a multi-shot capability against long range manoeuvring targets, jets, UAVs and cruise missiles in a Loaded Electronic Counter Measure environment , called ECM. It has range well in excess of 100 kilometres . Meteor can be launched as a stealth missile. It is equipped with enhanced kinematics features. It is capable of striking different types of targets simultaneously in almost any weather.Since Ramjet is non effective when Missile is at stand still so its assisted by a propulsion and then Ramjet takes over.Ramjet is sort of a jet engine in which external jet consumes ‘super heated air flow’, naturally moving through the missile at super sonic speed, creating a form of passive engine that would still continue to power even when the missile is low on fuel (as long as it remain super sonic). Ramjets make longer-range rockets, since they don't need to store oxygen onboard to combust the fuel; they scoop it in from the air.The result is a missile that continue to fly at signNowly more powerful level than typical jet and create as much as 3 times the kinetic energy of the conventional missile (or so the MBDA marketing has been bragging about).Meteor’s stunning performance is achieved through its unique Ramjet propulsion system – A Ramjet motor that takes it to Mach 4. Its Oxidant - less since it consumes ‘atmospheric oxygen’ to oxidise the propellant (usually 2 / 3 rd two-propellant is An oxidant) , thus allowing it to carry Extra fuel for larger range.Meteor, instead of having a pulse motor, is a longer, continuous burn. Being a Ramjet with a liquid propellant, the meteor can vary the burn rate. It uses that ability to slow down for the terminal kill, providing the largest No-Escape Zone of any air-to-air missile.No -escape zone of over 60 km is largest among air-to-air missiles according to manufacturer. Solid-fueled ramjet motor allows missile to cruise at a speed of over mach 4 and provides the missile with thrust and mid-way acceleration to target interception… It can be visualised below…Gripen has demonstrated its ability that it can acquire Situational Awareness in tight battle fields , even without AWACs support . That is contributed also to The Link 39 P2P system, This enables Gripen E to remain laregly undetected , complete missions and also to defend itself .In a pack of 4 , 1 X Gripen can stay back , assume the role of a data link, allowing one aircraft to act as an AWACS for 3 x Attacker Gripens . Hence the RAF Typhoon pilots were surprise who initially thought Gripen fighters would be ”Cannon fodder” before they met them in exercises, but were forced to change their mind since they found out that Gripens are notoriously hard to detect.…. Nordlander, Saab Gripen E Test Pilot remarked :“ One can understand that an aircraft sitting on the ground is useless and more vulnerable, so your readers may be surprised to know that we regularly train to turn our Gripen around in 10 minutes. That means once we land and park the aircraft we keep the engine running, we refuel, rearm, and takeoff again in 10 minutes, and all of that is done with a very small logistical footprint.”“Similarly, if we need to swap an engine, we can do that in 1 hour with a small team. We’ve designed Gripen E this way because we know that every asset we have must be more efficient than any potential opponent's, maximizing our ability to operate and making Gripen an even more valuable force multiplier. Its not Stealth, however, has a relatively small radar and visual cross section when compared to other fighters, as well as the ability to operate in a purely passive mode when it comes to detecting and engaging opponents. In our view, low observability provided by an inherent stealth design isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but the cost and operational compromises must not outweigh the advantages.”Gripen E | Ready for the future | Saab* (Gripen E | Ready for the future | Saab)Thats why its also dubbed as Flanker Hunter ..{The Gripen E will have access to satellite communication. This improves Gripen E ability during long distance flights.}Current OperatorsSwedish Air Force - 75 Variants C / D + 60 Es.South Africa - 26 Gripen. (The IInd largest operator)Thailand - 18Hungary & Czek Republic - 14 eachBrazilian Air Force - 28 Gripen E and Ordered 8 Gripen F.STATE OF ART - SWEEDEN - EVIDENCEThe concept of ***‘Networked fighter ’*** introduced with F-35 , is reprotedly in practise with Swedish Air Force for nearly two decades. The latest Rafale has a ‘Uni - directional link’ with MBDA Meteor missile ; while Gripen connects with the Meteor with its superior ‘Bi - directional link’.New US Freedom and Indepence class ships have Radars from Sweden.US using Saab BOL chaff - flair dispensers on F/A 18 fighters.A fleet of 300 x JAS 39 E is economical to operate than 200 x F -35 Lightning ii , over the same time period, giving a close to similar service results and No political strings attached as with US Equipment.Meteor is rated superior to Amraam ( Rytheon’s 120 D)Iris-T is equates in performance to US Side winders (AIM 9X block II).Being smaller in size and Single engine has pros and cons - Agility, Maneuverability, Less Radar Cross section and less cost against limited capacity to the Payload which a small airframe can carry . This may in turn limits versatility of roles for which a small fighter can perform compared to a much larger fighter as Sukhoi or Rafael.Similarly interms of Range, The F 16 Advanced versions cover 4,500km without Mid Air refuelling, against Gripen which can achieve 3 200km. Gripens very economical to operate, it requires only 3 - 5 man-hours of maintenance per hour of flight and cost US$ 5,000 per hour to fly. In contrast, the Raptor requires 40 man-hours of maintenance per hour of flight and costs US$ 60,000 per hour to fly.Export numbers will increase for an Under Dog Gripen , as it took many years for F - 15s , Rafale and F - 16s to gain the market attraction , its not allowed to sell to Gulf countries is making its numbers grow slowly. Its E - Variant which came to limelight in 2016 - 17 , Excels in E W - features an Enhanced sensor suite, upgraded Avionics deck, the ability to take off and land on carriers & an ‘Open Architecture’ for upgrading Avionics thus ensuring no obstacle to evolve in next 02 deacdes. Cost is around 90 - 100 M US $ , Gripen earlier variants costs much less say 50%.Hence its a damn good fighter - A real pocket rocket - in equivalent performance range to F - 16 V , Typhoon and Rafale but lesser in cost. Its open for sales and various operators are studying it .“Resources are only half of the equation.Efficiency is the other half…”

You will get different lists depending on the location the person is staying. I being from western suburbs you will find more recommendations around western suburbs area. However I have included some South Mumbai places as well.Street Food:1) Dosawala opposite Mithibhai - Vile Parle (west)(quite popular but I am not great fan of his dosas. Variety of dosas are nice. I would recommend his "Vada Pavs" which are quite excellent!)2) Dosawala on Bajaj Road - Vile Parle west. Near Mc Donalds. I like his dosas better than the first doasawala mentioned above.3) Juice center: Right adjacent to dosawala on Bajaj Road – Vile Parle (west) is the Juice stall. Quite excellent varieties offered. The menu consists of variety of mix fruit juices. Other than usual fruits the vendor offers fruits like dragon, kiwis and many others. For some juices he offers small shot taste so you can decide what exactly you need. Definitely recommended!4) Pali Hill Dosawala: Third dosawala in my recommendation (am I Crazy about dosas? Definitely yes!) 5) Sandwizza : Of all the sandwiches I like the Sandwizza sandwiches the best. They are available in many parts of Mumbai but I usually take out from the one near Santacruz station. The simplicity of brown bread vegetable sandwich is quite excellent!6) Sardar Pavbhaji: Tardeo: Very old one and quite popular. Although I haven’t tried them for quite long time. I am listing it just because they are very popular.7) Haji Ali Juice Center: Quite popular juice center and very old one. 8) Vada pav at Ashok Vada Pav, Dadar9) Sabudana vada from Ram Ashray, Matunga.10) Carter Road, Bandra: Lot of food options including deserts. Quite happening place and very lively.  Restaurants: 1)  Maharaj Bhog: Oberoi Mall Goregaon (east) Quite excellent thali. Good options of starters, main course and desserts. On festival holidays and weekends the menu is even more delicious.2)  Global Fusion: Link square mall, Bandra. : If you ever wanted to taste Chinese, continental, Punjabi in one restaurant then this is the one you can try. Good options for both Veg & Non Veg. They price you per person and you can have food as much as you like. The starters are so many that most of the time I don’t even signNow main course. In desserts you can order anything unlimited from Baskin Robins stall (within their buffet) or the other desserts, which they have. Little bit different and worth a try!3)  China Gate: There are many ones and the oldest one is at Bandra. However I prefer the Versova branch where the food and ambience both is better (my opinion). It goes without saying it is a good chinese restaurant.4)  Noodle Bar: There are many ones (Phoenix mall, Bandra/Khar, Juhu). Unique thing about them is that they give you a list of ingredients. You choose which ingredient you want in your rice or noodles. The noodles or Rice are tossed so they call it “Toss it Up”. 5)  Mangiamo: Bandra. Unfortunately I have heard this Italian restaurant in going under construction and will launch as a new Japanese restaurant. The Italian cuisines were quite excellent. Do keep watch on this one.6)  Punjab Grill: Juhu. Excellent restaurant with good Punjabi dishes. Paneers are very soft and the best variety!7)  Hometown Café: Juhu . Little bit different cuisines but quite excellent ambience and food. 8)  Only Parathas: Khar linking road. It offers nice variety of parathas. Do try them out.9)  Mainland China: Oberoi Mall, Goregaon east. They don’t serve your regular Indian-chinese dishes. They claim to be more authentic chinese. It seems they have revamped their menu. Good option if you want little bit different Chinese.10)  The Royal China: Bandra. They also claim to be authentic Chinese. Good another option.11) Barbeque Nation: I read it has closed down in Bandra but there are other branches as well. Good unique starters served at your table (as much you want). Quite nice if you want to try new dishes. Good luck if you are able to signNow main course buffet. They price you per person.  Definitely recommended.12) Le Mangii: Juhu. It was little bit difficult to locate this Italian restaurant. They offer nice Juhu beach view (when I went there there was almost no one at beach and had very calm effect and privacy). Nice romantic ambience but little bit expensive. 13)The Ambassador: Churchgate:  The food is fine but their unique selling point is the view. It is a revolving restaurant and overlooks Arabian sea, Brabourne stadium and Wankhede stadium. Quite excellent view and captures nice Mumbai view!14) Asia 7, Paladium mall in Phoenix mall, Lower Parel: True to its name, it offers not just Chinese but also Thai, Indonesian and other Asian dishes. Good one if you want to try out other Asian dishes. There are many which I could not list here but I am sure there are many.  You can also try coffee from coffee vendors around king circle near Khalsa college (not King Circle station) Matunga. You get excellent aroma of coffee smell in that area from road side stalls setup in the morning. Hope this helps.

No. I can assure you that words like “programming, Python, C#, C++” aren’t even mentioned in the official certificate guide.But although programming isn’t a part of the CCNA Security cert, it’s pretty valuable to have. You don’t need to be some sort of Python Ninja but it would be great if you know enough to automate some tasks. I recommend studying some Python.

Here's a sampling of 40 must-try foods that define Mumbai's food culture, with Muslim, Gujarati, Goan, Coastal, South Indian, Parsi and of course local Maharashtran influences:Parsi akuri, Mumbai's scrambled eggs.1. Akuri on toastMove over scrambled eggs, the Parsi Akuri cometh. Rated as one of the great Parsi dishes, every family has its own special way of making this breakfast meal. Though variations of the ingredients are vociferously debated, Akuri is usually made by scrambling eggs with onions, tomatoes (or even raw mangoes when in season), red chilli powder, green chillies and topped with fresh coriander. Others add milk, jeera (cumin) powder, curry leaves and even ginger and garlic paste.Try the Akuri on Toast at Jimmy Boy, 11 Bank Street, Vikas Building, Off Horniman Circle, Fort. Tel: +91 (0) 22 2266 2503 2. Baida rotiThis one is an interesting envelope. Spiced meat -- chicken or minced mutton, even bheja (brain) -- and whipped eggs with masala-fied fried onions enveloped in a square shaped dough and pan fried. Though served with sliced onion rings and green chutney, they're delicious even without accompaniment.A lot of people swear by the Baida Roti at Bade Mian, Tullock Road, Behind Taj Mahal Hotel, Apollo Bunder, evenings only. Tel: +91 (0) 22 2284 8038 Batata vada, a Mumbai icon.3. Batata vadaWhether it's for breakfast, teatime, or anytime, one thing is for sure, Mumbaikars can’t live without the Batata Vada bite. This well-liked fast food dumpling is made by mashing boiled potatoes with green chilies, ginger, garlic, lime juice, turmeric, and fresh coriander, then dipped in a besan (gram flour) batter and deep fried. It's served either with a green chutney or fried green chillies.Virtually every street corner will have an outstanding Batata Vada seller but it’s hard to beat the ones made at Shrikrishna, near Chabildas High School, Dadar Market. 4. Butter chickenThis ubiquitous dish traces its roots to the days of the Mughals when calorie counting was a thing of the future. This must-order dish when Indian families go out for dinner is made from chunks of chicken, marinated overnight in a yogurt and spice mix that includes ginger garlic paste and lime juice. It is then grilled or pan-fried. An ultra rich sauce made with butter, tomato puree, cumin, garam masalas and fresh cream is then poured over it. Best had with Indian breads like rotis, naan or parathas. Don't confuse it with chicken tikka masala, which is a story for another day.While available at every kind of eatery, the butter chicken at Punjab Grill is worth dying for. Level 3, Palladium Mall, Phoenix Mills, Lower Parel. Tel: +91 (0) 22 4347 3980The classic Bombay Sandwich.5. The Bombay sandwichThis street side invention is a combination of the most unlikely ingredients. Lavishly buttered white bread and sandwiched between them thin slices of beetroot, boiled potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, onion rings, and mint chutney. Cut into four triangles so that you can handle all the layers without spilling them, you get the most refreshing tangy taste, after each bite. A toasted version steams up the vegetables inside and adds another dimension. Truly, there is no other sandwich quite like it in the world.Though widely available through out the city, try it at Amar Juice Centre, near Cooper Hospital, opp. Juhu Galli. Or the Mafco Stall outside Worli Dairy on Worli Sea Face.Bheja fry, fried brain, not for the weak hearted.6. Bheja fryBheja, or goat brain, sautéed with tomatoes, onions, turmeric, green chillies, spices and garnished with fresh coriander, is a staple of all those with hardcore carnivorous leanings in the city. Eaten with a roti (Indian bread) or pao, this melt in the mouth dish has a rich Muslim heritage behind it and you often find that one plate is not enough.Radio Restaurant, 10, Musafir Khana, Palton Road, Tel: +91 (0) 22 2261 7171, serves up a really good Bheja Fry.  Fried Bombil aka Bombay Duck.7. Bombil fryBombil, or Bombay Duck, is a fish (and not a duck) found in plenty in the waters around Mumbai. A fisher folk favourite, Bombils are flattened, then dipped in a spice-filled besan (gram flour) batter and fried. This crunchy-on-the-outside and mushy-soft-on-the-inside fish dish can be eaten on its own as a starter, or as a main course with chapattis.Gajalee restaurant does a mean Bombil Fry. They have branches at Hanuman Road, Vile Parle (E), Tel: +91 22 26114093. And at Phoenix Mills, Lower Parel, Tel: +91 22 2495 06678. Brun maskaYou may wonder how bread and butter can become such an iconic union. But it's not merely bread and this is not merely butter. It's brun or gutli pao -- a local bread that is unique to Mumbai -- and it's crisp and hard and crumbly on the outside and soft inside. The Brun is then sliced and lashings of butter are applied lavishly. Some even sprinkle quite a bit of sugar. It is usually accompanied by the sweet Irani chai. Dipping the brun maska in the chai is the only way to eat it.Available at most Irani restaurants, the Brun Maska at Kyani & Co is historic. 657 Jer Mahal Estate, Opp. Metro Cinema, Dhobi Talao, Tel: +91 (0) 22 2201 1492. Also try it at B Merwan, Opp. Grant Road Station (E), Tel: +91 (0) 22 2309 3321Bhel puri at the Taj Hotel.9. Bhel puriThe most commonly sold chaat on the streets of Mumbai, every bhel walla will have his own matchless blend and a considerable 7pm fan following. While the ingredients -- puffed rice, papadi (small crisp deep fried flour puris), sev, onions, potatoes, raw mango and sweet and sour chutney -- remain the same, it is the proportions in which they are thrown together on the street side that makes the difference.Bhel puri is available everywhere. The stalls at Chowpatty and Juhu beaches draw throngs of die-hard fans. But if you want a bhel puri with ambience, try it at Sea Lounge, Taj Mahal Hotel, Apollo Bunder. Tel: +91 (0) 22 6665 336610. Chicken mayo rollAlmost every school or college canteen serves it. Most single screen cinema houses showing English movies display it during the interval. Most bakeries will have their version, neatly wrapped in cellophane, at the counter. Some grocery stores in up market areas stock it along with grain and rice. It's hard to believe that plain boiled chicken doused in sweet-ish mayonnaise with a celery leaf for dressing, all wrapped up in a bread roll can be so popular in a spice loving city. But it is.One of the creamiest chicken mayo rolls can be had at Paradise, Sindh Chambers, Shahid Bhagat Singh Road, Colaba, Tel: +91 22 22832874. Or try it at Candies, Mac Ronells, 5A Pali Hill, St. Andrews Road, Bandra (W). Tel: +91 22 2642412511. Chicken manchurianHere's a dish that even the Chinese over on the mainland haven't heard about. Snigger, snigger. Yet it's on the menu of the roadside handcart Chinese food hawker and the Chinese restaurant in the fancy five-star hotel. Chicken manchurian, a phrase that has come to be the face of Chinese food in India, is nothing but deep-fried batter-coated chicken cubes in an onion, green chillies, garlic, vinegar and soy sauce gravy. Eaten with rice, it never fails to get a sigh of contentment from those partaking of this gastronomic oddity.If you want to taste the real thing, try it where it was created, China Garden, Om Chambers, Kemps Corner. Tel: +91 (0) 22 2363 0841Trishna's butter pepper garlic crab.12. Butter garlic crabIt doesn't trace its roots to Chinese, Continental or Indian cuisines. It comes from Butter Land, an imagined place that thrives on the premise that anything tastes great with melted butter. A delicious, simple dish, a big crab is drowned in tons of butter garlic sauce that seeps into every nook and cranny and coats every morsel of the flesh. Crack open the crab and take a bite. You’ll know immediately that sweet crabmeat and butter with a twist of garlic is a combination made by gods.The best butter garlic crab can be found at Mumbai's most famous seafood restaurant. Trishna, Sai Baba Marg, Near Rhythm House, Kala Ghoda, Fort. Tel: +91 22 2270321313. Dhoklas and farsaanThese popular snacks are so integral to food loving Gujaratis that no meal is complete without them. And when traveling abroad, they don’t leave home without a little parcel tucked away in their luggage. Dhoklas or 'khummun' are made from the fermented batter of chickpeas, steamed and then spiced with chillies and ginger and tempered with mustard seed. Farsan, a broad term for savories encompassing sev and gathiya are crisp deep-fried spiced gram flour creations in pasta like shapes.Several stores stock these popular snacks. But try them here: Chedda Dry Fruits & Snacks, 41 Ridge Road, Walkeshwar. Tel: +91 22 (0) 2369 9442. Dave Farsan Mart, 10 Babulnath Road, near Chowpatty. Tel: +91 (0) 22 6657 8311.

A rich drink, Falooda is vermicelli mixed with milk, almonds, pistachios, a bit of rose syrup and the key ingredient -- sabza or basil seeds -- topped up with two scoops of ice cream. Refreshing, rosy, energizing, it's a great pick-me-up on a hot day.Badshah, at 152/156 LT Marg, Opp. Crawford Market. Tel: +91 (0) 22 2342 1943, has a reputation for their falooda.15. Fish and prawn curryThese two dishes are as old as Mumbai herself (remember, this city started off as a fishing village under various kings and sultanates until the Portuguese and English discovered it in 1534). This coconut-based light curry can be prepared using a variety of fish or prawn. But the most popular curries use surmai (kingfish), pomfret (butter fish), bangda (mackerel) or bombil (Bombay duck). And the only way to truly enjoy it is with par boiled country rice.For Konkani and Malvani style fish curry  go to Sadichha, B-5 Gandhi Nagar, Opp. MIG Club, Bandra (E), Tel: +91 (0) 22 2651 0175. For Karwar style fish curry there's Fresh Catch, Lt. Kotnis Marg, Near Fire Brigade, Off L J Road, Mahim (W). Tel: +91 (0) 22 2444 894216. FrankieInspired by the Lebanese pita bread wrap and suitably Indianized, the Frankie, or should I say the Tibbs Frankie, has satiated hordes of the hungry in search of a quick lip-smacking snack. Basically, it's a juicy naan bread with an egg coating and stuffed with mutton or chicken, rolled up and sprinkled with a unique masala that gives it its special flavor. The vegetarian option does not use eggs and the stuffings include paneer or potatoes.Available all over the city. For a Tibbs Frankie closest to you, call +91 (0) 22 2821 4698Locals call it the gujju thaali.17. Gujarati thaalisIn fast food terms think of this as a large, all-you-can-eat combo platter served on your table in unlimited quantities. Three types of farsan (fried snacky things with a plethora of chutneys). Two kinds of vegetables. Two kinds of lentils. Dal and kadhi (hot and spicy yoghurt based dish). A basket of different rotis and puris (deep fried breads). Two kinds of rice. Two desserts. And mango pulp which the purists pour all over the plate. All this for a modest price. Gasp! A note on Gujarati cuisine: most dishes tend to be on the sweet side and that makes an interesting combination with the spiciness of the food. Mumbaikers either love it or ignore it.Try Golden Star Thali, 330 Raja Rammohan Roy Road, Opp. Charni Road Station, Girgaum, Tel: +91 (0) 22 2363 1983. Or, Chetana, 34 K Dubash Marg, Kala Ghoda, Fort. Tel: +91 (0) 22 2284 496818. Kheema paoMinced mutton cooked with onions, garlic, tomatoes, chillies and spices takes on many avatars here. In its original form, it is refereed to as plain Kheema. Topped with a crisply fried sunny side up egg, it is called kheema single fry. And scrambled with eggs, it is called ghotala. And all three are best eaten with Mumbai's signature pao bread bun. Traditionally a breakfast dish, it is now eaten at all times of the day or night.Try it at Stadium Restaurant, IMC Building, Veer Nariman Road, Churchgate, Tel: +91 (0) 22 2204 6819. Or at Olympia, Rahim Mansion, 1 Shahid Bhagat Singh Road, Colaba, Tel: +91 (0) 22 2202 1043.Grilled kebabs are a staple.19. KebabsWhile the kebab per se may not be unique to Mumbai or the region, a few varieties that emerged from the Bohri Muslim community are truly unique. Gurda (kidney) and kaleji (liver) top this list. Charcoal grilled, they go great with freshly sliced onions and a squeeze of lime.Try it at Ayubs, on the street behind Rhythm House, Kala Ghoda, open only in the evenings. The best beef kebabs are to be found at Sarvi, 184/196 Dimtimkar Road, opposite Nagpada Police Station, Byculla (W). Tel: +91 9833 533 305. And for some outstanding north west frontier style Kebabs, go to Peshawari, ITC Grand Maratha, Sahar Road, Andheri (E), Tel: +91 (0) 22 2830 303020. Kolhapuri muttonThe hotter the temperature of a city, the hotter the food. And it's true of this mutton dish that has its roots in Kolhapur, a city in the south of Maharashtra. It comes in two coconut based gravy variations. The nuclear strength version is called Tambda Rassa (a red chili spiced extravaganza). And the milder version is called Pandhara Rassa (yoghurt, cashew nuts and raisin embellished). Both go well with either rotis or rice when you're in the mood for a feast.Taste the heat at Purepur Kolhapur, 1, Aditya Apartments, Parleshwar Road, Parleshwar Mandir, Vile Parle (E). Tel: +91 (0) 22 2613 4569Maharashtran style kanda poha21. Kanda pohaA must-have in Maharashtrian families, you will rarely find a badly made kanda poha dish. This simple, easy to make snack is made with kanda (onions) and poha (flaked rice) mixed with chopped potatoes and green chillies, sometimes even peas. Tempered with mustard seeds and garnished with fresh coriander and a squeeze of lime, it lights up dull days. And cements the many days in a marriage together.Try it at Aswad, L J Road, Opp. Shiv Sena Bhavan, Dadar (W). Tel: +91 (0) 22 2445 187122. Misal paoQuintessentially from Pune, this rustic dish is made from a mix of curried sprouted lentils, topped with batata (potato) bhaji, poha (rice flakes), chivda, farsan, raw chopped onions and tomato. This hot and spicy dish is eaten with pao bread. To cut the fire, add some yogurt.A good version can be found at Vinay Health Home, 71/83, Jawahar Mansion, Fanaswadi-Thakurdwar Corner, Girgaum. Tel: +91 (0) 22 2208 121123. ModakA Maharashtrian sweet prepared during the Ganesh festival around August, modak is offered to Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed god, because it is his favorite sweet. Wheat flour dough kneaded with milk, stuffed with grated coconut and mixed with sugar or jaggery. Shaped like a teardrop and steamed or fried. Typically 21 are made as an auspicious offering to the god and tons more for the rest of the family. It's a pity that it's made only once a year and in this region.Some sweet shops do keep modak during the festival season but it is made of khoya (thickened milk) and is not the real thing. For that, you’ll have to drop into a home that is celebrating the festival.24. Mutton dhansakRepresentative of Parsi cuisine, the mutton dhansak falls in the category of soul food. It is mutton cooked till tender in a lentil dal laden with spices. And it is eaten with browned rice topped with deep fried onions, garnished with mutton kebabs and sprinkled with a crunchy mix of chopped raw onions, raw tomatoes and coriander. And the aftereffects are usually exhibited in a sound afternoon nap.This rich dish, outside of a home, is best had at Ripon Club, 123A MG Road, Opp. Bombay University, Fountain. Find a member to take you there. Failing which, go to Britannia, Wakefield House, 11 Sprott Road, Ballard Estate. Tel: +91 (0) 22 2261 5264Mutton sukke is without gravy.25.

It can be eaten with chapattis or wadé, rice flour pancakes.Try it at Jai Hind Lunch Home, 6 Mantri Corner, Gokhale Road South, Dadar. Tel: +91 (0) 22 2431 425626. Patra ni machhiAnother top of the line Parsi dish. This is freshly caught pomfret, marinated in a chutney that includes grated coconut, green chillies, fresh coriander and mint leaves, cumin, sugar, lime and salt. It is then wrapped in banana leaf and steamed for about ten minutes. Gently unwrap and consume quietly, close your eyes and savor the flavor of a culinary culture that will fill your senses.A very good patra ni machhi can be had at Ideal Corner, 12/F/G, Hornby View, Gunbow Street, Fort. Tel: +91 (0) 22 2262 1930. Only available on Saturdays.Pao bhaji off the street.27. Pao bhajiThis specialty dish from the by-lanes of Mumbai has mashed steamed mixed vegetables (mainly potatoes, peas, tomatoes, onions and green pepper) cooked in spices and loads of butter. It is eaten with pao, which is shallow fried in even more butter and served with chopped onions. Sometimes cheese and paneer (cottage cheese) are added. People from all over India come to Mumbai to eat pao bhaji. Though widely available at local restaurants, try the sinful pao bhaji at Sardar, 166A Tardeo Road Junction, Opp. Bus Depot, Tardeo. Tel: +91 (0) 22 2353 020828. Prawns koliwadaContrary to popular belief that this dish originated on the Konkan coast, it is actually a very Mumbai dish and the story goes that it was created in the Sion fishing village, or koliwada, by -- and here’s the twist -- a north Indian immigrant from Punjab. These deep-fried prawns marinated in a batter of flour, spices and ginger garlic paste can be identified by their signature red color. And they are crunchy yet melt in the mouth. Pick the smaller sized prawns, they taste better.Try the real thing at Hazara, GTB Nagar, Near the Gurudwara, Sion (W). Tel: +91 (0) 22 2409 2617Nalli nihari, a Muslim specialty.29. Nalli nihariThe phrase "breakfast like a king" gets taken to another level when you dig into a plate of Muslim nalli nihari. You could probably fight a war after this power meal made of soft and tender mutton shanks in a rich, greasy gravy filled with marrow and steeped in spices, the flavors exploding with delight. A crisp roti makes for the perfect accompaniment. Can you stomach this for breakfast?The best Nalli Nihari can be had at Noor Mohammadi, 179 Wazir Building, Abdul Hakim Noor Mohammadi Chowk, Bhendi Bazaar. Tel: +91 (0) 22 2347 6188. Just make sure you signNow before noon or you may leave disappointed.30. Puran poliA festive dish made by Maharashtrians and Gujaratis especially during Holi (to celebrate the end of the winter season) and Dussehra (to celebrate the triumph of Lord Ram over the demon Raavan). It is made by simmering chana dal (yellow gram) with sugar or jaggery (molasses or gur) till it dries up, and then hand-ground to smoothen it out. Nutmeg and cardamom powders are the flavorings. Palm sized balls of this paste are stuffed into wheat flour dough and rolled out to be roasted on a tawa frying pan with a little ghee (clarified butter). Do add a lot of ghee when you're eating them, they taste tops then. Puran polis can be found in some grocery stores but they are a poor mass produced version of the real thing. The real ones can only be found in a Maharashtrian or Gujarati home. 31. Ragda patticeThis twin delight is a combination of ragda, soft spicy rugged flavored chickpeas, and pattice, mashed potatoes shaped into fat patties and fried. The ideal way is to eat it is to crush the ragda with the pattice and pile on the accompaniments -- finely chopped onions, tangy tamarind sauce and fiery green chutney. Mash it all up and dig in for the true flavor of Mumbai. A favorite street food, it is part of the chaat family and is commonly found all over. A good place to try it is Kailash Parbat, Sheela Mahal, 1st Pasta Lane, Colaba. Tel: +91 (0) 22 2284 1972Sabudana vada is fasting food.32. Sabudana vadaFor Maharashtrians, sabudana vada is the traditional 'upvas' or fasting food and the really hardcore folk fast up to four times a week. And the good news is that the restaurants never fail to oblige with hot crisp sabudana vadas for those who don’t have the time to make it at home. Sago is soaked until it puffs up. Crushed boiled potatoes, green chillies, coriander leaves and salt are kneaded in. They are then fashioned into palm-sized patties and deep fried until they turn crisp and golden. And then one bite leads to another and another.Sabudana vadas are available at most Udipi hotels and roadside stalls. But try the ones at the R K Studio Canteen, Chembur. They are really special.33. SamosaIt's best to bite into a hot one, hiding under a street stall during a typical Mumbai monsoon downpour. When you go through the crisp crust, you meet the steaming and savory-with-a-hint-of-sour chunks of spiced potatoes and peas. Lovingly shaped into triangles and deep fried, these calorie busters are worth the one week that you’ll need on the treadmill to work it off. But a samosa can also give you heart at that last leg of your day when transport is not in sight, it's dark and there's a long way home.You can ask for Guru Kripa samosas at many stores across Mumbai. Or go to the original Guru Kripa Hotel, 40, Guru Kripa Building, near SIES College, Sion. Tel: +91 (0) 22 2407 1237Mumbai's favorite sizzler from Kobe.34. SizzlersAs kids, a sizzler was part of the "growing up in Mumbai" experience. The sight of a sizzler arriving at your table, like an old steam engine, sizzling and steaming and spluttering to a halt in front of you, was an exciting experience. A combination of grilled meats and vegetables served on what looks like a hot chunk of black iron, with a side of mashed potatoes or fries and gravy. Sizzlers come in several vegetarian options too. Long lines at restaurants are a testimony to its enduring popularity. Give sizzlers a try at places synonymous with the word. Such as Kobe, 13/14 Sukh Sagar, Hughes Road, Opera House.

Sorpatel and vindalooThese Goan specialties set your taste buds on fire and grandmothers are rumored to pass out feni shots (a strong Goan brew made from palm or cashew nuts) to douse the flames.

In front of Udipi hotels, a euphemism for all south Indian cuisine, it means vegetarian meals laid out on a thaali, a stainless steel plate, or on a traditional banana leaf. A couple of vegetables, sambar (spicy and sour lentils and vegetables boiled with masalas and spices), rasam (a hot and fiery lentil soup-like dish) and curds (yoghurt) served with heaps of rice and eaten in that order. A non-vegetarian version of the 'Meals' can be found in 'Military' hotels.Try the 'meals' at this 68-year-old haven: Rama Nayak’s Udipi Shree Krishna Boarding, bang outside the Matunga (E) station.

Considered the common man's food, a political decision was made at the highest echelons of government to make it available everywhere. Overnight, thousands of zhunka bhakar stalls opened, none pricing it more than Rs 10. Traditionally, the zhunka is made using chopped onions tempered with mustard seeds and kadipatta leaves mixed with chickpea flour and is dry. It is eaten with jowar (millet) bhakri or roti. Try the stalls opposite Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (originally called Victoria Terminus) and BMC Headquarters.38. Varan bhaatIf you wanted to name one truly soul satisfying food of Mumbai city, then this would be it. The simple and truly humble dish is made by lightly tempering cooked-till-soft toor dal (a lentil) with ghee (clarified butter), turmeric and cumin powder. Served over steaming hot rice, or bhaat, it assumes magical, mythical proportions. A staple in Maharashtrian homes, that's really where you should be eating it. But do give Diva Maharashtracha a try.

Every Mumbaiker's favorite on-the-go snack, the vada pao satiates millions every day. And the recipe, hard to duplicate because each stall owner has his own secret ingredient, uses a combination of boiled potatoes mashed with fresh coriander, green chillies, a bit of ginger and sometimes garlic, made into palm-sized balls, dipped in a chickpea flour batter and deep fried till golden. They are stuffed into a pao, which has been applied with a layer of spicy green chutney and a fiery red garlic crush.
