Maharashtrian home food runs on a small number of things kept ready: goda masala, a jar of thecha, roasted peanut powder and jaggery. Once those exist, the week almost cooks itself — varan and amti are the same dal finished two ways, and pithla is fifteen minutes from an empty kitchen.
The week moves across the state rather than sitting in one house. Pithla-bhakri and zunka from the Deshi interior, misal and batata vada from the Pune–Nashik belt, masale bhat and puran poli from the festive table, aluchi patal bhaji from the Konkan.
Sunday is the only ambitious day: puran poli with katachi amti takes a morning, and is worth it. Grocery quantities are for a family of four.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner for all seven days. Import it and every slot lands in your planner, where you can swap any dish.

A fully satvik Shravan week — Shravani Somvar upvas food, chane for the Friday Jivti puja, aluchi patal bhaji, and patoli with puran poli on Sunday. No onion, no garlic anywhere.
A full week of the North Indian vegetarian food most homes actually cook — rajma, chole, dal makhani, paneer and seasonal sabzis, with a Sunday that feels like a treat.
A week of tiffin, sambar, rasam and poriyal the way South Indian homes cook it — one batter, one sambar base and a different meal every day.
