After they decorate their boats and offer coconuts to the sea to pray for a bountiful fishing season, they will enjoy karanjis, their favourite sweet dish for the festival. However, Indian chefs say why only celebrate with a traditional dish when you can also innovate with coconuts, the star ingredient of the festival, in more than one way.
Mumbai chefs not only share the classic coconut karanji recipe but also others that include a crème brulee and cream pie, apart from one with bitter gourd.
