If crispy fish is your idea of comfort food, the Surmai Koliwada Deep Fry deserves a special place on the table. At this Tardeo eatery, the classic kingfish is prepared the Koliwada way. It is marinated in a fiery, flavour-packed masala and deep-fried until the coating is crisp and golden.
With its succulence, the surmai is perfect for this preparation. The dish holds its own with its authentic masala, and doesn’t need a gravy or too many accompaniments. Add a squeeze of lemon, some chutney on the side, and you can immerse yourself in a typically Mumbai-style seafood indulgence.
