Mumbai’s monsoon seems elusive right now even though there are the occasional showers but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the goodness of marshmallows. While the beverages like coffee and tea make for perfect companions during the rain, the soups aren`t far behind as everybody wants a steaming bowl of comforting flavours. Over the years, the humble marshmallow has also become a faithful companion but never the star of the dish or meal. The soft, pillowy treats made from sugar, water and gelatin, are perfect for the monsoon, especially when dunked in chocolate but is there more to it?
Mumbaikars love their vada pav, samosa pav and bhajiyas and their many steaming variations during the monsoon season but one can agree that marshmallows are becoming irresistible, as they slowly gain popularity in India. Interestingly, Mumbai chef Mozanne Karbhari, who is the sous chef at ITC Grand Central, Mumbai says it has had quite a journey in the country and city.
