Stuffed Pomfret (Bharla Paplet)

October 15, 2016 by Smita Singh Leave a Comment

Stuffed Pomfret

My affinity for sea food is by now known to you dear readers. Every time we head to local shop for our sea food purchase, I have my list of purchase items all figured out and sorted.

However, the moment I step into that wonder arena in which the air is seeped with the smell of fish and the sight of fishes in galore I lose my senses. I begin with undertaking a leisure stroll through the market, mesmerized by the sight of fishes of different sizes, different color- some hailing from sea water and some caught from river. A mild rebuke or a gentle nudge from Pranay is required to draw me back to my senses and to approach a counter for the purchase.

Stuffed Pomfret

I start with buying what I intend to- choosing the right catch, haggling with the fishermen, all this is part of our trade. So far so good. Things may start getting trickier from here on. Every time I fall prey to the sight of some catch that just seems too tempting to me and I find it difficult to look away. Looking at Pranay with pleading eyes, I pose that difficult question to him- Is it exceeding our budget? And he has a customary reply for my question-Go ahead. In fact this scene has played out itself so many times that we no longer need words now. So when all of this happened again last week, we came back home with a bag of prawns and couple of Silver Pomfret.

Stuffed Pomfret

I was in no mood to make a curry preparation out of this purchase, and so I decided to make a starter with a recipe that would combine these two fishes and what better than Pomfret stuffed with minced prawns.

It is a pretty exciting preparation that I had for the first time in a sea food restaurant “Masemari” in Pune. Of all the dishes that we dined at “Masemari” this one just struck me by its taste and the idea of stuffing a Pomfret with prawns. I had been contemplating on the idea of replicating the recipe in my kitchen and last week’s purchase gave me that opportunity.
