Bombay Duck

Description

Contradictory to what the name suggest, Bombay duck, or Bombil, isn’t really duck; it is in fact a very fleshy fish found only in the waters around Mumbai. It has a special place in the hearts of Parsis. The tender, delicate fish is so soft that it can fall apart very easily. Marinated in turmeric, rice batter, chilli powder and a tang of lime, Bombil is then deep-fried to crisp.
