Tips

  • The first Indian Muslims were Arab traders, merchants and sailors who settled in the Konkan region, and that is how the Konkani Muslim community emerged.
  • Konkani food is very diverse, showing subtle variations from one village to the next and one coastal town to another.
  • Maharashtra is broadly divided into 6-7 cuisine zones: Konkani, Malvani, CKP, Mumbai Street Food, Kolhapuri, Puneeri and Saoji.
