It’s my husband’s birthday on saturday and he asked if I could prepare his favourite seafood dishes. I was about to call my ma-in-law for the tisrya vade recipe, and then I thought, you may have that on your site. YOU DO!!! Yay!

I will try these…I had eaten them long ago, in his GAON, near Karwar, with fresh clams collected near the Kali river.

Thanks!

Btw – steaming clams is probably the most hygienic way of cleaning them. Any unopened shell is simply to be discarded as the clam is not fresh.

Hi Shilpa,

I happened to come across your websit accidently while on a search for eggless cake. I wouldn’t be able to express the joy I felt when I saw “Aayi” and not to mention the Konkani recipes. I’m going to tell all my konkani friends about it and I’m sure they will be equally excited.
Warm regards,
Ruhi

Looks tempting!!! I live in USA and I have been unable to get fresh clams like the ones back home (Bombay)…A good substitute I found was that of tinned baby clams…..They taste good for dishes like these (Vadas). I haven’t tried them for curries. U get these tinned clams in any grocery store and they save u the opening and cleaning the sand out process.

Hi Shilpa &Deepa,

Thanks for the clam vada recipe. We used to prepare sukka, hinga uddaka, phanna upkari, ajadina, vaali and Khubbo ambat all these years. This is totally new to us. I tried it by steaming the clams as I know opening them as it is takes a lot of time. My husband likes clams in any form. We both liked it very much. I’ll try clam curry next time and let you know. Thanks again.

I am glad to have someone with connections in Kumta documenting Konkani receipes with the “North Kanara” influence. I am from Kumta and it delights me to read the name “Kumta” in your recipes. I know a lot of folks here in the USA that hail from Kumta.
Do you have the recipe for “misal”. I used to get it from “Chittaranjan” Theatre stall. That was the best “misal” ever.

The vadas look crisp, hot & delicious. I have never had any sea food vada before. I didn’t even know we could make something like this with clams. Wonderful recipe.
