Prawn Masala is a flavorful Indian seafood dish made with succulent prawns simmered in a spiced onion-tomato gravy. The dish combines the sweetness of fresh prawns with the heat of red chili, warmth of garam masala, and the earthiness of coriander and turmeric. Aromatic curry leaves, ginger, garlic, and whole spices like cinnamon or fennel add depth, while a touch of lemon and fresh coriander brings brightness at the end.

Bombil Cutlet (also called Bombay Duck Cutlet) is a popular coastal delicacy from Maharashtra, especially loved in Mumbai and Konkan households. Despite the name, “Bombay Duck” (Bombil) is actually a soft, fragile fish found along the western coast of India. When fried into cutlets, it turns crispy outside and melt-in-the-mouth inside.
