Coastal Indian Seafood

[Anonymous No.17541338]

You guys should try coastal Indian seafood. Most of it can be found in South Indian restaurants as that is where the majority of the coastline is.

If you are a fan of spicy food and sea food, then this is ideal. Pic related is masala pomfret from the southwestern coast of India.

Will be posting more pics of this type of indian cuisine.

Kingfish with the same masalas.

[Anonymous No.17541345]

This is called "Bombay Duck" but its actually just a fried preparation of large lizardfish that live off the coast of Mumbai

[Anonymous No.17541350]

Fried prawn with turmeric, and some jeera masala on there. Always goes with mint cream chutney

[Anonymous No.17541352]

Hard to notice because of the sloppa-nature of indian food, but these are clams from the southwestern Konkani coast of India.

This is probably my favorite version of clams in the world actually. The tomato onion curry is infused with coconut milk

Now we move away from the West/Southwestern coast to the very bottom tip of Southeastern India. It's my actual favorite type of indian seafood: Chennai seafood from the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

Here is a typical village style seafood platter with crab, prawn, clams, and some cuts of mutton.

[Anonymous No.17541380]

On top of a giant plate of peas, onions, and capsicum goes the prawns and clams first.

[Anonymous No.17541388]

And then some crab legs

[Anonymous No.17541399]

After the standard indian masalas go in: ginger garlic paste, chili paste, jeera, coriander, hing, fenugreek, mint leaves

And parallel to cooking this you boil the starchy potatoes and carrots for some thickening of the giant seafood plate

[Anonymous No.17541408]

>>17541402
Forgot pic. Of course this will get mashed up to high hell like your typical indian sloppa

[Anonymous No.17541412]

>>17541408
Now the potatoes and carrots got mashed up and added to the seafood platter

[Anonymous No.17541414]

On the side, some lobster has been cooking the whole time by itself

[Anonymous No.17541420]

More or less the end product after all the fish and lobster got up inside. Would cajun fags eat this?

Have you ever tried seafood with indian style flavoring?

[Anonymous No.17541500]

If you guys like cajun sea food you guys should try south indian style seafood hahahahhahah. You will love it hahhahah. But no one ever tries it. Lol.

[Anonymous No.17541506]

>>17541345
I think if i had some non-Indian friends, this is what I would have them try hhahahhah.

If you guys were my friend which dish would you try.

Cajun seasoning uses cayenne and paprika for most of the heat spice (and black pepper)
South Indian seasoning uses chili powder and thai chili (and black pepper) for most of the spice

Cajun also uses thyme and oregano usually, while indian spices use garlic/ginger/cumin/coriander/hing for the other elements of spice profile

Interesting thread, Raj. I have never seen Indian seafood because restaurants around me only offer chicken or lamb or vegetarian.

[Anonymous No.17541588]

>>17541338
You mean Indians actually eat out of those waters?

[Anonymous No.17541591]

>>17541574
Then you need to stop hanging around north indians who have very one-dimensional view of meat to eat and live in central landlocked states. The south indian coastlines offer a huge variety of seafoods

You do realize this makes our fish way tastier, right? It's is what feeds the wildlife.

[Anonymous No.17541631]

South Indian food is better than noth Indian food. I like the beef/fish/coconut/fenugreek/black mustard seed/tamarind/fresh curry leaves.

[Anonymous No.17541674]

>>17541631
YES
YES
YES
THANK YOU FOR FUCKING FINALLY SAYING IT

I HOPE YOU'RE NOT SOUTH INDIAN YOURSELF AND ARE AN INDEPENDENT OBSERVER OF SOUTH INDIAN FOODS

>beef/fish/coconut/fenugreek/black mustard seed/tamarind/fresh curry leaves
Do they add the standard chili powder + garlic + ginger into south indian foods as well? And black pepper

[Anonymous No.17542088]

>>17541691
Usually it's fresh green chillies, a shit ton of shallots, and garlic/ginger of course.

>>17541674
Yeah I'm not from the subcontinent. I just like to cook from all over the world.

Insanely good-looking stuff. Too bad all southern Indian restaurants specialize in only veg.
So why do the coasties eat seafood? Or is it just a carry over from the Euro colonial days?

[Anonymous No.17542538]

>Too bad all southern Indian restaurants specialize in only veg.
Because the market / demand for south indian food is only accustomed to breakfast south indian veg foods like dosa, idli, sambar.
>So why do the coasties eat seafood? Or is it just a carry over from the Euro colonial days?

Isn't this self-explanatory? Coasties eat seafood because...they are on the coast.
This absolutely is not a carryover from colonial days, this is simply south indian culture.

People have this misconception that Indians are predominantly vegetarian. Absolute nonsense. Do you seriously think most indian villages in india are vegetarian? no, they slaughter mutton and catch fish. Coasties in india, particularly in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Goa, etc all love seafood. Indians are far more meat-eating than you think, only the "upper-caste" ones try to avoid meat like little bitches.


A taste of true india isn't veg food, but the non-veg that villagers eat in coastal areas. Hindus are far more meat-eating than people like to think. And yes im butthurt about this misconception. Come to Chennai and see how many food stalls on the street that your standard blue/white collar workers eat on a daily basis. It's all juicy meat

Cajun bros. Please try south indian seafood. You will enjoy it.

I'd also suggest you guys to try out Indian food from other parts of India, north Indian food is generally just Punjabi/Delhi food lumped together in a single category.
Would especially recommend west Indian food from Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra. Maharashtra is extremely good with meat and is really underrated imo. The meat curries from vidarbha area are among the best dishes I ever had.

Kino thread southern bro. Making me hungry, even though the southern dishes aren't usually my top preference.

[Anonymous No.17542655]

Let me guess, the flavor profile is cumin, coriander and turmeric

[Anonymous No.17542716]

nearly all indian food has the exact same flavor profile. It might work better with decent seafood, but i honestly would never trust an Indian with safe handling of seafood. A big pass from me

How true is this?

[Anonymous No.17543365]

Which telegu/goan crab or fish dishes have you had?

[Anonymous No.17543371]

>>17542716

Yes because dal has the same profile as mustard which has the same profile as tomato+onion curries.
Idiot. Try and eat something that isn't generic mughlai north indian tomato paste sloppa
