from you, our readers and listeners, and the special stories behind them. We'll continue to share more of your kitchen gems throughout the holidays.Sujata Halarnkar's Aji, or grandmother, would pretty much eat seafood every day. That was the norm for the family from the Konkan region by India's west coast.
Halarnkar lives in Yuma, Ariz., today, but she grew up in Mumbai, and her grandparents lived south of the city in a village. Her mother would take her and her four sisters to her grandparents' for summer vacation. There, her grandmother, Saraswati Wadkar, would cook for them, often making this curry."That is one of the most great memories I had about my childhood," Halarnkar said."We had a beach to ourselves and we had no worries. My grandmother was cooking for us.
"My grandmother would make this recipe very spicy because that was traditionally how it is made, but we could not handle those spices, so she would serve fresh ripe mangoes with it," Halarnkar said. "When I got married, my husband was really surprised," Halarnkar said, recalling his reaction."'Why are you eating mangoes with your meal? Especially with fish curry,'" he'd ask."But then I had to explain to him that this is how we grew up. And I just loved that combination from then on."This fish curry represents the ultimate comfort food to Halarnkar, who said her family always craves it when they return from out of town.
