When I was a frequent visitor at Hotel Sujatha in Mangalore till they closed down in the year 2010, they had this dish which was named Bangude Maharani. Spicy tangy masala and some chopped onions and tomatoes made it an improved version of Bangude Masala Fried. Many customers have raved about this dish there!
I was always wondering how they prepared it. I knew that they made it like fish masala fried but they added few more ingredients. Other day we got fresh bangude and made tawa fried fish, marinating them with spices, salt and tamarind. Two bangudes were left over in the fridge and my wife Meena came out with this, which tasted almost like what I used to taste at Hotel Sujatha. She was clueless about naming this and then it flashed to me that 'Bangude Maharani' would be the apt name for this. Try this with fish curry rice or as a sxtarter. Tastes fantastic and guaranteed to make a permanent entry into your list of seafood delicacies!
