During rainy season when we don’t get fresh fish in Goa, we make Sukya Sungtachi Kismoor or Dry prawns kismoor. The name kismoor means mixture or to mix everything together. This recipe is also known as sungta kismuri an tastes tangy and spicy. Dry prawns is also known as galmo and this recipe is also known as Goan galmo recipe.
I make this kismuri recipe in two ways. I have explained one way here which I had learnt from my Goan house help. The other kismoor recipe is just by mixing raw grated coconut, raw onion and other ingredients. Hubby loves the 1st way. We also bangda kismoor too. So whenever we don’t get fresh fish, we make dry fish Goan recipe. The vegetarians also have an easy kismoor recipe like papdachi kismoor.
Kismoor is now available in Goan restaurants too and is an authentic Goan dish. Just have this golma recipe a side dish with your fishcurry, rice and fried fish.
