Food and festivals go hand in hand. The holy month of Ramzan has begun and with it, parts of the city transform into a haven for food lovers. But, not many are aware of the delish spread made by the Bohra community. The GUIDE stumbled upon a gastronomical joyride to bring these delights under the spotlight
Bohra Muslims are known to love their food. So, it’s no surprise that their food offers a variety of delectable dishes. The community has a tradition of eating food from one Thal (a huge round metal plate with food items). “Eight people eat from one thal,” shares Maleka Rupawala, a home cook in Marol who makes a variety of dishes for Bohra Muslims. Most place their orders with her and pick it up from her residence.
