Ambot Tik is usually made with shark fish & is a local Goan delicacy. We Goans just cannot do without our fish curry rice & ambot tik definitely is one of our top favorites!

Ambot means ‘sour’ & Tik means ‘hot & spicy’ in Konkannim. In Goa, you will get to enjoy this not only on festive occasions or parties but they do serve this as a speciality in restaurants, beach shacks in North & South Goa. Some home stays also do serve this unique & special dish.

To prepare ambot tik, fresh & fleshy fish with minimum bones is preferred. Shark is used because it has chunky flesh with just a single bone. The masala paste & the shark fish used to prepare this delicious gravy/sauce adds a distinct flavor of spices to the dish. Ambot Tik tastes better the next day. In fact, the flavors meld & the gravy/sauce tastes better when you keep it longer!

If you love hot, sour & spicy gravies then this is it! Ambot Tik is a lip smacking & finger licking fish sauce which will not only tickle your taste buds but will be asking for more! We love this dish is an understatement. It is delicious & tastes awesome with plain steamed rice or Goan boiled rice or even better with Goan pav or any crusty bread or for that matter it is excellent with Indian broon (crusty from the outside & soft in the inside).

You must give it a try & I’m sure you will make it quite often… Enjoy! 😀
