After an abstinence of a month from Non vegetarian food (Because of restrictions of some Herbal medicine I was on), I and my family were yearning for some fish and meat on our plate , Just then happened to read in Mouthshut about Satkar Rice plate near Goregaon Station, I am not a hard core carnivore. But do have some cravings once in a while.Though not far from our place, we had not tried this restaurant . Its bang opposite to the eastern side of the Goregaon station , you are very likely to miss it as it is situated on the first floor of a dilapidated building with an almost camouflaged name board. The entry is equally dingy , But once you are into the restaurant there is no scope for complaint on cleanliness and hygiene , It also has a small AC section ,We ordered the pomfret thali , Mutton Kaleji ,Bombil fry . The freshness and crispiness of the fish appealed to me ,it was tasty too. Mutton kaleji too had a distinct aromatic masala gravy. A slightly higher price that you pay when compared to other restaurants of this genre is corroboratedAs with all the Mumbai seafood restaurants . the fish curry had that typical repulsive taste. I fail to understand why in Mumbai where half of the populace is from Konkan.Why cant we get authentic Konkan fish curry. May be it has got something to do with the quality of the coconut or the use of souring agent which typically in mumbai is Kokum , and in our part of Konkan , it is Dried salted green mango called Ambya solIn southern parts of the Konkan from where I hail. Though the coconut coriander seed red chllies are common for all the masalas. Each kind of the fish is cooked in a gravy that is tampered with the subtle touch of one or two distinct additives, that do the trick, I remember even mother used to have 2 distinct varieties of the curry For River Catch and Sea Catch. It might be few corns of tepal (Sichuan pepper) and some vertically slit green chilies that lend the awesome taste to Bangda Curry. Or a hint of turmeric for the Belonji curry. And so on.In short indigenous cuisine has variety and You all will agree variety is the spice of Life Right ?
