Malvani Fish Curry is a jewel of Konkan coastal cuisine and a regional specialty that highlights our
seafood thali at Ninja Tiger. This authentic dish originates from the Malvan region of Maharashtra's
coastline, where generations of fishermen and their families perfected this recipe using the freshest
catch from the Arabian Sea. Our version features tender fish fillets cooked in a luscious, coconut milk-based
curry that's been infused with a special blend of roasted and ground Malvani spices, including dried red
chilies, coriander seeds, cumin, black peppercorns, and aromatic whole spices.
What makes our Malvani Fish Curry extraordinary is the careful balance of flavors – the richness of coconut
milk, the tangy brightness of kokum (a local souring agent), the warmth of traditional spices, and the
delicate taste of fresh fish. The curry base is prepared by creating an authentic Malvani masala paste from
scratch, which is then slowly cooked with onions, ginger-garlic paste, and fresh curry leaves until it
releases its full aromatic potential. The result is a curry that's both comforting and exotic, bringing
the authentic taste of Maharashtra's coastal villages to Calgary's dining scene.
