Yesterday was a "heavy" Sunday!
For the last week I have been thinking of having some good grilled Pomfret and the local sellers are exorbitant at Rs 120 - 150 for 2 small pieces. And thankfully we have a foodie in Anu, who resides in SoBo (South Bombay!). So asked her to try and see if she can get some good catch from the whole sellers at Crawford Market. She informed on Saturday that she could get a good load of Pomfrets as well as medium to large sized prawns.
Sunday morning started with our usual round of fresh & crispy home made dosas with coconut chutney. And finally our "fisher woman" arrived with the promised fish load. After putting in a few hours of effort through the day, our menu of Sunday was a gourmand's delight.
The lunch comprised of Peyajkoli (fresh & crispy version of spring onions) lightly sauteed with slivers of potato (Aloo Peyajkoli bhaja in Bengali) - courtesy my wife, Dr D; a yum dry preparation of duck eggs with baby potatoes (courtesy my mother, flown down from Kolkata!!); and "simple" Bengali style prawn curry by me. And we had our lunch the typical Bengali way - at 1500 hrs or 3 pm!!
The dinner was much simpler (numerically!!) and had Grilled Pomfret and "meaty" fried rice.
My tryst with FB and my venture at teasing my friends following me on FB, resulted in continuous messages and updates through the mobile, expressing friendly anger and consternation at being swamped with menus. With messages coming well past midnight, led to the wife commenting at midnight: "these networking sites and the mobile has taken away the slightest privacy"
For all those who would be keen to experiment with the palate, you can get the recipes on the hyperlinks.

AG - Bengali's love fish delicacy. Does it mean trying everything on a lazy Sunday. You would be brainy with those extra proteins so go ahead and put those brains in buiding defence systems and infrastructure. Good going dude - seems you having the best of East (Kolkata) and West (Mumbai)!!!!
Just stay safe in Mumbai - there are some menace there and man - your non-veggie writeup was more fishy then it sounding. Kiddos.
