Time for lunch/dinner…….thinking hard what to prepare……do not worry……We GSB Konkanis have many recepies in out menu that goes well with rice. We are usually pure vegetarians and our most of the dishes do not even contain onions and garlic. Even if we have changed with time but for our feast and poojas we do not include onions and garlic in our recepies. We are usually raw rice eaters than the Keralites who eat brown rice. For poojas, festivals and cermonies raw rice is taken. We have so many ukkari’s that dry dishes made out of different vegetables, pulses, sprouted pulses and various combinations of these. For the curry part we consume dhavi ghassi, or kali ghassi. Then we have valval and dhavae humman also as side dishes. What ever may be majority of our dishes will be having coconut in it. either used as a garnish or ground to a smooth paste or even roasted and then ground to paste.

No feast or lunch is complete without dhali thoy. It is poured on top of hot steaming rice, mixed and had along with other curries or ukkaries. Special dishes are prepared for feast during festivals, poojas and cermonies. You can read about it in my Home page

We have also included some Kerala dishes in out recepie even though we usually do not prepare these dishes during our festivals, poojas or cermonies we do prepare them at home. We have brought our own style of modifications in the preparation of these dishes according to our tastes.

Methiyae Sukkaein

Methiyae sukkaein is usually served as a side dish along with rice. This is a delicacy among Konkani’s and you will rarely find a temple Samaradhana (Brahman Bhojan) or a wedding or upanayanam or any other function without this dish….
