Swagath’s Monsoon Seafood Specials

If you’re headed to enjoy seafood in Ambience Mall this monsoon, here’s a list of must-try dishes that capture the comfort, spice, and freshness the rains call for: 

• Seafood Soup

There is truly nothing better on a rainy day than going outside with cold hands, coming back in, and warming them up with a steaming bowl of soup. Swagath’s seafood soup is made with plenty of shrimp and fish, and is packed with flavour and heat. It is the type of starter that drives away the cold and sets the right atmosphere for your meal ahead. 

• Mangalorean Tawa Fry

There’s something magical about fish cooked on a traditional tawa. Generally tawa fry comes with either pomfret, surmai, or ladyfish, however it is hand-pounded spices that really define this dish, Here, it is crispy outside with the inside tender and flaky. Honestly, one bite is enough to make you forget that there is a storm outside. 

• Fish Fry

A classic dish, simple yet completely addictive. Think about bombay duck or maybe river sole, completely fried to golden perfection. You get to the crusty outside and break through only to find a soft fish fillet, soft and flaky. Just a squeeze of lemon and you are reinventing rainy-day fare. 

• Tandoori Prawns & Pomfret 

The minute you get a whiff of the smoky aroma from the tandoor, you know that you are in for a treat. Juicy prawns or a roasted pomfret, marinated with spices, lands hot and sizzling in front of you. It’s decadent but light enough that it feels just right on those rainy evenings when you’re looking for something a little extra. 

• Fish Tikka Ajwaini 

If you’re looking for something flavourful, but not overbearing, this is the one to order. Boneless pieces of fish, lightly spiced with ajwain, cooked until soft and tender. It feels light, yet packing so much flavour with each bite. Especially with the cool monsoon breeze blowing in. 

• Prawns Sukka

Spicy, rustic, and absolutely unforgettable. This coastal Karnataka favourite coats each prawn in grated coconut, curry leaves, and fiery red chillies. It’s messy, it’s finger-licking good, and it’s exactly the kind of dish you dream about on a rainy night.

• Fish or Prawns Gassi

This one is a true Mangalorean gem. The coconut-based curry has that perfect balance of creamy richness and gentle tang. Pair it with a soft neer dosa, and you’ll understand why locals highly recommend this combination. 

• Chettinad Pepper Prawns or Fish 

Love a bit of spice? Then this Chettinad dish is a must-try. Heaped with black pepper, chillies and delicious curry leaves, this dish is bold and proud. Make sure you have a flaky Malabari paratha to mop up the spices. 

• Malabari Pomfret, Prawns, or Surmai

This one’s a flavour trip straight to Kerala. Tangy, spicy and just the right amount of coconut milk to cool it down: it is big, hearty, and comforting. These are the kind of curries that make you want to curl up by the window with a plate. 

• Prawns or Fish Biryani (Mangalorean Style)

Because no monsoon meal is truly complete without a biryani. Infused with the sea flavours using fish or prawns, this dish uses fragrant basmati rice layered with spiced prawns or fish, slow-cooked so every grain is infused with flavour. It’s hearty, comforting, and guaranteed to make you forget all about the gloomy weather outside.
