The Bombay Duck, a fish found in Mumbai and Kutch waters, is known for its dried form that is rich in calcium. It contributes to maintaining healthy blood pressure levels. The fish pairs well with Goan and Mangalorean cuisine, particularly rice and curry, enhancing the overall flavor experience.
To prepare Goan Recheado Bombil, the Recheado masala paste is made by grinding together a variety of ingredients such as red chilies, garlic, ginger, tamarind, vinegar, and aromatic spices. The Bombil fish is then carefully slit and filled with this flavorful masala paste. The stuffed fish is left to marinate, allowing the flavors to penetrate the flesh.
Once marinated, the fish is either shallow-fried in oil until crispy and golden or grilled over charcoal for a smoky flavor. The end result is a delicious and spicy dish with a crispy exterior and tender, flavorful fish on the inside. Goan Recheado Bombil is often served with steamed rice or Goan bread, known as Pao. It is a popular dish among seafood lovers and showcases the bold and tangy flavors that Goan cuisine is known for.
The combination of the Recheado masala’s spiciness, the tanginess of tamarind, and the unique taste of Bombil creates a delightful culinary experience that is distinctively Goan. It is a must-try dish for those looking to explore the rich and diverse flavors of Goan cuisine.
