Mala proudly carries forward her family’s legacy of age-old recipes, specializing in non-vegetarian dishes, as fish remains the staple of Koli cuisine. For her, learning is a firsthand process—she believes in picking up skills from fellow Koli women rather than relying on formal methods. While she is not well-versed in social media, she swears by the power of word-of-mouth, trusting that good food speaks for itself.
