Patrani Machchi has a lesser use of lemon whereas Manji uses more lemon, strictly a local preference..something like what mustard is to Bengali fishes!

@Rajesh: Yup, I love Dakshin. This time they had a special menu for the week, so these dishes are outside of their regular menu.

@Sig: Yes, tasted great too!

Good review as always. I realized one thing, Shantanu, that the Manji Kolavaithina (whole white pomfret marinated with green chilly, ginger, lemon which is wrapped in a banana leaf and baked) is very similar to that famous Parsi dish Patra Fish.

I've had the opportunity to have Patra Ni Macchi (as it is called by Parsis) at my in-laws place in Dahanu. Look at the receipe here and you would agree: http://tinyurl.com/nyq4h5

Isn't it interesting to see how a recipe travels from one place to another and consumes the flavor of that particular region/state/culture! I also wonder if anybody would take the pain of preparing a food map or road map for a particular recipe, as in where did it originated, traveled and developed across regions.
