5. Kolambi Che Kalvan ( Maharashtrian Prawns Curry )

This traditional, tangy, sharp shrimp curry is an iconic preparation across Konkan coast. Pair it with steaming, hot rice and you are good to go.

This fish is popular for its unique taste, soft texture and a distinct mouth-watering flavour. This fish can survive both in marine and freshwater.
