Prawns Koliwada is one of the more iconic dishes of Mumbai, even though it’s not that well known outside the city or state, and definitely not outside the country.

Last year for Thanksgiving at my in-laws, someone made and brought a big bowl of green fluff. If I had known what it was before I tried it, there’s a good chance I’d have passed it up.

He shared it with us and I loved it from the first bite. Since then, I’ve happily enjoyed baklava at every opportunity....
