MotaFish - South Indian seafood
Motafish a small restaurant in barsha. It's a south Indian restaurant that is known for their seafood. They invited me to try out the food.
We started with an interesting drink - sambharam. I was thinking it has something to do with sambhar, but that wasn't the case at all. It is buttermilk that is spiced. It has green chillies, curry leaves, ginger, and herbs in it. It was a bit different from the masala chhaas that I'm used to having usually. This one was a bit spicier, not on the tongue but on the throat. It was nice for a change.
For appetisers, they suggested us the Natholi fry. These are anchovies marinated in a spicy masala and fried. These were crispy and the masala made them taste really good.
Another Kerala speciality that they recommended was the Kerala Chicken fry. These are chunks of chicken (which look boneless but are not) that are marinated in their secret spices. This tasted a bit dry and was just average.
We definitely wanted to try out the prawns here, and ordered the chemmeen mango curry. It is a coconut milk and raw mango based curry with prawns in it. This was really delicious; I loved the hint of tanginess that it had to it.
We had it with some fresh and hot appams.
In the mood for some crab, we ordered the Crab roast. It was prepared in the red roast gravy. The crab was really good, and so was the gravy though gravy could have been a bit better.
We ended our meal with a lovely prawn biryani. It had masala in it which I really liked. Also, as soon as it was served, there was a lovely aroma to it.
It is a nice restaurant if you want to have some seafood that is reasonably priced.
