After cooking, a few dishes that you might try are piyush (drink made using thickened yogurt and buttermilk) or kokum sharbat (cooling and thirst-quenching drink), suran kaap (yam fry) or mutton keema che muthe (spiced minced mutton) or alu vadi (spiced colocasia or taro root leaves), fish or chicken or mutton or crab gravy, rice or roti and thecha (condiment made with green chillies, peanuts and garlic) or khamang kakdi (cucumber salad). End your meal with dessert such as bhoplyachi kheer (pumpkin pudding) or sago kheer (pudding) and paan (mouth freshener).

If you choose the market tour option, meet Rupa at her apartment and together you will drive down to the Chembur fish market for a guided tour.
