Mirchi Gulli (Chilly Lane)
The stalls in this vibrant lane can be traced as far back as 1938. The lane is famous for its masalas, spices, chillies. One might go looking through the whole of Mumbai and not find anything like this lane.
The masala’s are not just sold here but also made here. The people who make and sell them belong to the Maratha Caste. Mirchi Gulli is what it is today because of the mill workers and their families. It is because of their patronage and demand for community specific masala’s, Mirchi Gulli has obtained immense recognition as one of the culinary markets of Mumbai.
