Popti (also known as Ubadiyu in some regions) is a traditional Maharashtrian recipe, especially from the Konkan/Raigad area, cooked by slow-roasting ingredients in a sealed earthen pot over an open fire. ​The main challenge is combining Crab, Prawns, and Chicken, as they have different cooking times, but in Popti, everything slow-cooks together.
