Dry Fish market of Karwar(karnataka)
Dry Fish Display at Karwar MarketAfter enjoying burning heat of may and goan mangoes, goan's are ready to welcome monsoon days. It seems the concert of rain delayed due to environmental changes. Fragrance of soil will be available little late but we are prepared for next five months. Every goenkar had made "Purumed"( Stock of essential commodities for rainy season). Jars of dry red chillies , dry fish are ready in store rooms of every goan houses. As fresh fish catch disappears from market this stocked dry fish playes vital role in goan rice thali. Smell of dry fish with coconut oil can enlight fire of every goan stomach at any time. I just love a dish made from dry macrels known as " Bangadyachi Kismur" with chappatis. My wife is expert in making this dish. Last month we four friends specially visited Karwar for this dry macrels. As Karwar is well known for this dry fish market, you will find variety of dry fish here. Dried squid fish pieces are surprise product in karwar market. They just looks like potato chips. Another dry fish delecasy is dry prawn curry and kismur. In other words a plain white boiled rice, a dried prawns curry with macrel's kismur are main course of goan dinning table during rainy days.
Mean while its time to say good bye and wait for rains in Goa for my favourite "Kismur"

And then there is Dry fish Chutney, which is equally mouth-watering.... Its grated Coconut, bit of red chilli ground into a paste, and mixed with small bits of dried fish like bangada (mackarel) or even dried prawns,and small sliced onions mixed in it.....
My mouth waters as i write this... :-)
