This is one of my favorite Konkani dishes. My Aayi is an expert in preparing this. Since we add cumin seeds( jeera ) and pepper( miryakan ) to this, it is good for health. I used to eat a lot more when this dish was prepared. I love to pair this with some lemon pickle. A lot of garlic is added to this gravy to give that amazing aroma.
Ingredients: 1 cup fresh/frozen coconut 1 tea spn cumin seeds( jeera ) 6-7 peppercorns 3-4 red chillies 1/4 tea spn tamarind extract or 1-2 pieces of normal tamarind 1-2 tea spns finely chopped garlic Oil Salt
Method: Heat oil and fry cumin, pepper and red chillies. Grind with coconut, tamarind and salt. Heat the ground masala with sufficient water(to a consistency of sambar ) for 10min. Heat oil in a pan. Add garlic, when they turn to brownish, add to the cooked masala. Serve with hot rice.
