Seafood thali

The Pathare Prabhus are primarily fish eaters, and so the meal will include kobiche bhanavle, a baked dish with shrimp, chimbori che khadkhadle or crabs cooked in spicy garlic gravy, rawas, bangda or pomfret fry and tomato chi sheer with fresh prawns, a coconut-based dish that's light and stew-like. You can also try the bombil methkut, which is cooked in pickle masala, bhujane (ghol fish), an everyday fish curry prepared in every Pathare Prabhu household, and kismur, a typical Maharashtrian recipe of dried shrimp.

"I add only garlic in the crab and as we serve the full crab, we also tell people how to eat, which makes it into an event in itself," says Talpade, adding, "Kobiche bhanavle is a vegetable, lentil and fish baked preparation that's been quite popular on the menu. But it's the newbie kismur, which is a favourite as I've seen people who haven't tried dried fish fall in love with it due to the simplicity of its flavours. Besides we don't add batter to fry any fish, as it ensures you taste the masala rather than the fish."
