This is a very famous chutney in North Kanara. My mother prepares this with coconut dosa( soyi polo ) or rice roti( alayle pita rotti) . But some people make this with urad daal dosa or as a side dish with rice. Ilike this chutney-coconut dosa combination very much. Ingredients: 4-5 cloves garlic 1/2 cup fresh/frozen coconut 4-5 red chillies 1/4 tea spn tamarind extract or 1 piece of tamarind Oil Salt
Method: Heat oil and fry garlic till brown (always remove the skin before frying garlic. Otherwise the garlic may splutter. My neighbour had serious burns on her face due to this). This step has to be done with extra care since the oil may catch fire sometimes. Grind the fried garlic with coconut,red chillies,tamarind,coconut and salt. Serve chutney with hot dosa .
Serves : 4 Preparation time : 10 min
I like any egg dish. This is one of the easy dishes from my Pachi (Mom’s sister is called pachi in Konkani). She prepares this in those innumerable dinner parties at their home. A delicious dish with minimum work.
Usually this can be served with chapathi or roti or rice.
Ingredients: 5 eggs 1/2 cup onion 3-4 green chillies 1/2 tea spn pepper powder 4-5 strands coriander leaves Oil/ ghee Salt as per taste
Method: Heat oil or ghee , add green chillies(slit into halves) and finely chopped onion. Fry till onions turn slightly brownish. Add half the coriander leaves and a little salt. Spread out the onions so that it covers the full pan. Break eggs and add on the onions. (There should be a thick layer of eggs on the onion layer). Sprinkle coriander leaves, pepper powder and salt. Cook covered until eggs are completely cooked. Cut into pieces and serve hot.
Serves : 2-3 Preparation time : 15min
