Hot and Sour Fish Curry Paste

Ambot Tik is yet another Goan seafood speciality, traditionally prepared with shark fish, though king fish, kite fish, prawns and squids can also be used. Derived from the Konkani words ‘ambot’ which means 'sour' and ‘tik’ which means 'spicy or pungent', this hot and tangy preparation is extremely popular in Goa. Local spices like kokum and vinegar as souring agents and red chilies blend together with other ingredients to form this paste. Though usually eaten with rice, it lends itself to sannas (dumplings) and bread too. The ancestral recipe used in our paste and the easy-to-follow instructions will have you rushing to the kitchen, each time seafood is on the menu. Just remember to keep more than one packet in store!!
