History was made in the US Presidential election when Kamala Harris became the first woman of colour to be US Vice President-elect. Harris's Indo-African roots were the cause of much discussion during these past few months; she even made dosa with actor Mindy Kaling. When asked, the Vice President-elect confessed tikkas of any kind being her favourite Indian food. Tikkas come in many shapes and forms and are loved by vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Let’s look at five places to try the best tikka in Mumbai.
