Goan Ambot Tik Lepo | Sole Fish Curry

We love our colours! The Goan Ambot-Tik is proof!
The bright red curry is so appetising and tempting to look at😋And then, there’s also the lovely aroma which immediately takes you to flavour-heaven 🤗 The Ambot-tik, as the name suggests, is a sour and spicy curry. It’s perfect for fish like the Lep (Sole fish). This flat fish is just too good in this curry! I’ve demonstrated the cleaning of the fish too (I got some really big ones from the market and they were super fresh!)
This is a recipe you should try if you like fish and find a good catch of Lep!🐟

[@jovinsonduarte]

If you freeze the fish for some time, the skin on both sides will come off easily.

[@FlorencyDias]

This tip will be useful to my viewers, thanks Jovinson🤗 These were super fresh, and I had to shoot when the sun was out- so I didn’t think about it. But yes, I’ll use this

[@carolanoronha1801]

If you keep the lepo in the fridge to chill then you can peel the skin easily

[@FlorencyDias]

Yes, another viewer also suggested the same tip! Thanks, I’ll bear this in mind next time, Carol❤️

[@binad1285]

I make amit tik but only shark

[@FlorencyDias]

Ambot Tik with shark is a classic dish for sure! I like it too✨

[@SherineAntonyGOA1]

Tão gostoso

[@FlorencyDias]

Thank you, Sherine✨

[@snehakerkar2316]

U wasted a lot of the head portion

[@Sunshine-1111-s]

Some people don't like it... Just like me😊

[@FlorencyDias]

Hi Sneha, I did that for the sake of videography. When shooting, it becomes necessary to keep things aesthetic, especially fish. But otherwise, yes, we use more of the head portion

[@belezadsouza1744]

R u using plastic spoon for frying n cooking ......???? Omg 😢

[@FlorencyDias]

It’s foodgrade silicone, Beleza :) Thanks for your concern ❤️
