Like most of the coastal states of India, Marathi food uses lots of fish and coconuts. As in all other parts of India, there is an enormous variety of vegetables in the regular diet. Grated coconuts spice many kinds of dishes, but coconut oil is not very widely used as a cooking medium. Peanuts and cashewnuts are widely used in vegetables. Peanut oil is the main cooking medium.
