ESPECIAL DE DURGA PUJA (DURGA PUJA SPECIAL) : SHASTHI

Curry De Pescado Especial De Mi Mama (My Mother's Special Fish Curry)


Well Maha Shasthi was a day filled with surprises and unlimited fun. Finally after a long spell of rain the sun shone with all its glory. My friends and I grabbed this opportunity and went to pandal-hopping. We started early in the morning and saw quite a few pandals. Each one had an innovative theme and elaborate decorations. We had an absolutely fantastic time as after a long time I got to spend the entire day with my friends.

Today's dish is my mother's invention. As i make a fuss when the same fish curry is served a few days in a row this dish was invented by my mother to stop me from fussing :) Do try this recipe out. :)

  • 7-8 Pieces of Bekti or Pomfret Fish
