Simple Thali / Saadi Boshi # 5

Simple / Saadi, Simple mean in English and Saadi mean in Goan Konkani which means simple, Thali / Boshi, Thali in English plate, Boshi mean in Goan Konkani, are served with the different dish in one platter, well today share goan seafood thali / boshi with catfish /sangot well all must know what is catfish, and songot is catfish in Konkani, so I prepare Catfish Curry / Songot Ambot Tik, ambot tik we call for curry, hence it means Ambot mean tangy and Tik means spicy. So both combined it means Ambot Tik.

Goan Cuisine is mostly served with seafood, the staple foods are rice and fish, we goan get rice (Xit mean rice ) Curry (Kodi mean curry), we will forget all other dishes, because Xit & Kodi are the soul food meal and complete platter, with fish like Kingfish, shark, mackerel. Among the shellfish are crab, prawns, lobster, mussels, this food for Goan Christians are influenced by the Portuguese. And till the day we relish this dish and traditional to goan.
