Here you will find the true taste of Thal. Through the recipes I want to share with you my bond with my roots as a Koli.
When I was 8 yrs Dad moved our family outside the community in Colaba to Fort an area predominantly of Gujarathi and Parsis. Many goodthings happened with that decision. Yet my holidays in Thal and visits to my grand parents home in Colaba Koliwada in Mumbai were enough to make me appreciate my Koli community. This section is dedicated to the entire Koli Samaj.

Hi Anjali,
ReplyDelete........far away from Koli samaj, mahim.....lying alone on my couch in Sweden, trying to browse thru internet and reach my simple, naive people....Kolis, by finding if there is any information about we Kolis, pretty afraid that our koli samaj is gradually going to get extincted???
......Its pity that few of them barely speak Koli langauge as the youngsters talk only in marathi instead.
I have this urge to do something for our Kolis, as I am proud to be called Koli....and lo, what a luck, I find your blog and your appreciation for Kolis. May God Bless you.
It made me so happy that there still exists people who appreciates Kolis.........
I shall keep in touch again, its too late now (01.50am)and must go to bed.....Thanks and all the best...Cindy Lundberg
Cindy yes there are people who love to be Koli. I express myself thru this blog and it is so good to connect up with others from our community all around the world. I am waiting for the day when The Koli achievers step out of denial and stumble on this blog to say a hello here. You bet there are many!
ReplyDeleteDo keep in touch.
Hi Anjali. This is intriguing as I know extremely little about Koli culture. I'll be sure to browse these recipes- thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletePelicano, I'm happy you find it intriguing.I am trying to bring here and share the little that I know about Koli culture. I am a second generation city bred who has been kept away from my culture. I learnt to appreciate it against the wishes of my Dad. I owe much more to my people.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy browsing, happy you found this section.

Hi Anon
ReplyDeleteI aways like if you delurk but your enthusiastic hi makes we want to reply.
I have had marwadi friends who don't want to eat mouth freshner after a meal of sea food to let the taste and enjoyment last so I'm not surprised ;):) that you enjoy it so much.
I'm happy to know you enjoy my blog.
Really now you can be tagged as a pucca sea food lover.
The problem is I don't cook and eat non veg now. So I cannot post pictures. I can definitely give recipes though.
You can buy authentic Koli masala at Colaba market, Crawford market or Sion Koliwada at any local grocer's. They normally stock it in the Koliwada areas but ofcourse the masala at home is the best.
It was great to know that there are people who have gone far away but not still forgotten the communtiy in which they were
ReplyDeletebought up. Proud to be a koli.

ReplyDeleteAny Idea Koli Masala is sold abroad.
I got spoiled by a Koli friend who used to cook for me
Now I long for that food

Can you please share more of your Koli style non-veg recipes. Since there are no sites that share Koli fish, chicken and mutton recipes.
