Growing up in the coastal city of Mumbai, seafood is a big part of our diet. At home, every Wednesday and Friday is 'fishy-day'. Meals ranged from the modest Pakat (Skate/Ray) or Mushi (Milk Shark) Lonvas (Curry) or Atwan of Prawns to the occasional Stuffed Pomfret or Surmai (Kingfish) Moile. The monsoon seasons brought the delights of Gaboli (Fish Roe) and Pomfret, which were worth their weight in gold.
With a unique approach to fish cookery derived from her East Indian heritage, Abby shares with you 38 of Mom's and Granny's recipes, plus a variety of sides and accompaniments. Essentially East Indian Seafood: Recipes from Abby's Hearth is the perfect book for anyone who loves seafood and wants to expand their palate to include Indo-Portuguese flavors.
