Bangda/Mackerel masala

Manglorean bangude Masala


Every family in the beautiful costal state of Karnataka depend on rice and fish for their staple food. The fish is either cooked as a curry or fried. Mangalore is home to many types of sea food. This particular recipe is a typical traditional style of Mangaloren mackerel Masala Personally i don't like mackerels but yesterday when i saw those fresh huge which we normally don't get here, thought of buying.Usually we prepare fish curry or raja panna upkari but this time i thought of making this shallow fried manglorean dish which is my favourite .this Masala goes well with almost all types of fish like kapi,surma/king fish or any variety of flat fish.
