About
Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
-George Bernard Shaw
From time immemorial, culinary has remained an important skill which has been passed on from one person to another and most of the times from mother to daughter. The word ‘skill’ itself speaks something which can be learnt over a period of time provided one has certain degree of inspiration, interest and perseverance. This certain or rather I must admit most part of inspiration has come to me from my mother or as I fondly call ‘Aayi‘ in my mother tongue Konkani. Hence is name, Aayi’s recipes. Coming to interest part of it, I assume I have it enough without which I would not have had enough patience to prepare these dishes and draft the recipes. The last but not least, perseverance, I would leave it for you to understand. Only thing I can assure is this site will keep getting updated with my almost every visit.
The style of recipes would be Konkani homemade, originated in and around North Kanara district of Karnataka. May be even down South in Mangalore or up North in Goa, or may be even they match Maharashtrian food. But its individualistic taste stands apart from the rest.
I will also share some of the recipes which are non Konkani traditional food. I have learnt them from different people, books, watching different TV programs, internet etc due to my interest in cooking and the guidance from my Aayi & Pachi.
As mentioned earlier, my Aayi is the person from whom I learnt cooking. My mother’s sister Pachi is also a good cook, albeit all her preparations are simple ones. So these two sisters, by and large provided basic ‘ingredients’ for this site. My father and brother though by profession are doctor and engineer respectively, they are good cooks too. Their caustic comments added much essential ’spice’ to this site. My husband, who is also a software engineer, is responsible for look and feel of this site. In other words he is responsible for ‘garnishing’ of Aayi’s recipes site. Last, but not the least, my sis-in-law, who has the entire hard copy of this site, mostly does the proof reading of every new posting. These are the people whom I owe a lot for this site becoming a reality. Above all, some one needs to be there to relish as well and I anticipate you would do that job for me. Please come up with your thoughts. Whether good or bad, I will oblige your responses.
Finally, something about myself, I am a software engineer by profession. Born and brought up at a tranquil place called Kodkani on banks of river Aghanashini. This is a tiny place in North Kanara district of Karnataka state on West coast of India. I did my engineering from Belgaum and worked in Bangalore for nearly 4 years as a software engineer. Currently I am living in Kansas, USA with my husband. Apart from this, I don’t have much to say about myself, perhaps someday I may have or may be this site will do the job on my behalf.
I am dedicating this blog to my father and mother. Above is their picture infront of my home at native.
Come… Savor the delicacy.
Hi,
Got to know about this site from your cousin Maneesh. Both of us work in the same company. You’ve really done a great job by seeting up this website. I am from karnataka myself and love home cooked food. Me and my roommates started a kitchen yesterday night itself… Now will take one recipe everyday and start experimenting…
Keep up the good work,
Bye,
Take Care,

Thanks a lot for adding me link here.
June 21st, 2006 at 10:22 pmIts a great site for all the foodies like me.
Dear Shilpa,
Its a great site for all the foodies like me.
Also, thanks a lot for adding my link here.
Keep in touch!!
June 21st, 2006 at 10:23 pmHi Shilpa
Since i know you about a month back after we both arrived in the States. But now, when i switch on the PC every morning, my first site to open is aayirecipes.com and see what new shilpa has posted so that i can make something new. I love cooking and my hubby too is fond of good food. Thanks for the good site….. Good Job Shilpa.
June 24th, 2006 at 11:35 pmThanks a lot for those kind words Aruna. Its such comments from all of you that encourages me to post more and more :D.
June 25th, 2006 at 9:51 amDear shilpa,
Came across your site when i was searching for some reciepe.
August 1st, 2006 at 5:09 pmi should say that your site is really good and is of great help to me.. thanks to you.
i am just a begginer in this field and like trying out new recipes everytime. got married a few months back and now in the US without any cooking experience.
tried out a few of your reciepes, turned out well.
thanks once again and keep up your good work.
As I said before Shilpa great site, where are you based?
August 3rd, 2006 at 2:51 pmThanks Seema.
August 3rd, 2006 at 2:53 pmThanks Pam, I have linked you. I am currently in Kansas City, USA.
Hey Shilpa,
August 5th, 2006 at 10:45 pmThe George Bernard Shaw quote is a fantastic intro to your website. I am very fond of Manglorean food. Mangalorean stew and neer dosai are my favourites! Like you, I too share a penchant for age old time tested recipes, which are truly unmatched in taste and flavour compared to the ready to eat fast food dishes oft eaten today. Your sev bhaji recipe sounds wonderfully appetizing. I’m sure a chat freak like me would truly relish it!
Meenakshi at PRITYA
Hi,
Came across your website by chance and I just love it. My Mother comes from Kumta and she has always made the same dishes. I was longing to see a website which would have all those dleicious recipes and the same Konkani names and talk.
Keep up the good work.
Samyukta
August 10th, 2006 at 8:30 amThanks Meenakshi. I visited the Pritya site. I think it is a great job you guys are doing. There is nothing comparable to authentic recipes :).
August 10th, 2006 at 8:41 amSamyukta, Thanks for dropping by. I hope you will keep visiting here :).
Hi shilpa,

Hi Shilpa,
August 21st, 2006 at 4:17 pmGot the link to this website from my brother Varun at Mumbai!!I am at Dallas and love to cook. Please let me know if I can also contribute some recipes??And how??
-Chaitra
Prema, I have added you to my blogroll :).
August 22nd, 2006 at 6:30 amChaitra, yes you could mail me the recipes. I would try my best to post them here (it would take some time though..because I never post anything without trying it myself). Thanks for your interest :). Looking forward for your recipes…
Hi,
I found your website while getting nostalgic about grandma’s cooking and childhood Ganesh chaturthi memories, googling saraswat recipes. Enjoyed the recipes and will be spending the rest of my evening getting homesick…sigh.:-)
Sharmila
August 23rd, 2006 at 9:28 pmThis site is simply put mind blowing. I am from Mumbai but my mom’s from North Kanara.The recipes remind me of the time I spent my summer holidays in my grandmom’s place. Each time I visit this site I am transported to North Karnataka. Incidentally this site was referred to me by my mother’s cousin. As the McDonalds’ ad goes ‘ I am lovin’ it.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:21 amSharmila, you can cook some of these recipes and feel at home :).
September 1st, 2006 at 9:50 amPranay, Thanks a lot for the lovely words. Keep visiting.
Dear Shilpa……I got to know about this site from Mangaloreworld.com. Doc Baab had posted a recipe in his site and dedicated to you and asked us to check it out. em happy I visted it. Great site and lovely recipes…I have a passion for cookin so its gud for me. Keep up the gud work, lookin forward to more recipes. I love the authentic traditonal recipes of North and south Kanara. Thanks you once again……..Have a nice day
Shilpa: Welcome to aayisrecipes Reshma. I have read your recipes on MW.com. You have a great collection. I am happy to know you liked my site. Keep visiting.
September 1st, 2006 at 3:03 pmGreat site. I accidentally found my self into this site (fortunate accident). This is mimd blowing stuff. My mother is from north kanara (mavinkurve) and this reminds me of the stuff she used to make at home when I was kid. Thanks for the loads of info you provide on food and also for the memories this site brings back.
September 6th, 2006 at 4:54 amShilpa: Thanks Navin for the kind words :).
Dear Shilpa,
I just browse thru ur site whenever i get the time. But I must say…ur hard work definitely reflects to every reader. Your site is truly helpful to all the konkani community around the globe. As U are in the US…i’m sure u must be aware of the North American Konkani Association existing there. They have a news letter being circulated called “Khabbar”. Although i reside in Kuwait i’m well accquainted about the events in US as the editor to the News letter is my maternal uncle (Mr. Vasanth Bhat). Do try and get your link associated with them….. It will do a lot good to the Konkani community who are not aware of ur site…and U never know …Fame wud be knocking your door soon!…Good Luck /Cheerz
Shilpa: Seema, I have no idea how to reach them :(. Will try to find out.Thanks for your kind words.
September 11th, 2006 at 2:50 amHi Shilpa,
Came across you site through some other blogs and I must say…….. its truely worth archieving…….. hope to see more veg food on your site…. haha… being a bit selfish there……
Shilpa: Rooma, there are more vegetarian dishes here compared to non veg. I will try to post more of veg dishes in future.
September 11th, 2006 at 7:07 pmWonderful site! Makes me want to learn about your country. Keep up the good work…

Shilpa: Iftikar, thanks a lot for the lovely words. Good to see you here.
October 17th, 2006 at 4:40 amHi Shilpa,
I came across this website while I was Googling for Konkani Recipes. I was so glad to have discovered this website. You have done an amazing job. I recently got married and moved to USA and everytime I wanted to cook some konkani dish, I would have to call my Mom. But now I can first try this website before troubling her.
I have a request. Could you please post recipes to more Konkani Diwali Khaan like teekshe tukadi etc.
Shilpa: Pareen, thanks for your words. I have posted some Diwali dishes. Please browse through the site (look in festival food).
October 18th, 2006 at 1:34 pmhello
I live in India (Pune). i saw your blog some 2 mths back. i like the name of your blog. you have a nice blog. i tried your ragi idli. it came out well. when i visited your blog today (06-11-16), it has changed. i did not see the link of other blogs and other recipe sites you had. you have removed them ?
regards
vaishali
Shilpa: Vaishali, the links are still there on the site. You just have to scroll down.
November 16th, 2006 at 1:10 amHey Shilpa,
My father is from Kumta (baad Kagal). I too went to Engineering College in Belgaum. Your recipes remind me of food I tasted at my close friends’ houses and my mother trying out from her konkani friends. I grew up partly in Ankola. Did you go to Janata Vidyalaya Mirjan-Kodkani?
Shilpa: Pratibha, yeah I went to Janata Vidyalaya Mirjan-Kodkani for high school. Nice to see someone from Kumta.
November 16th, 2006 at 12:16 pmShilpa,
Welcome to Janata Vidyalya alumni. I went to PM Highschool in Ankola and JV Dandeli. Did you go to GIT also?
Pratibha
November 17th, 2006 at 9:35 amAwesome site. Now I can finally get my fave food! Thanks!
November 24th, 2006 at 7:06 amDear Shilpa,
November 27th, 2006 at 2:17 pmFirst of all, thank you & your hubby for taking so much effort to put up this website with such yummy recipes.
We share some common things like, I was born in Mangalore (Belathangadi). I studied in Bangalore and am now in US (Maryland). I am a Software Engineer too. I love food. I enjoy cooking. My mother tongue is Konkani.
I like the look of this website. It is clean, easy to search for items and everything is easily accessible. Thank you and God bless you for this wonderful work

I came across this website while I was Googling for Konkani Recipes during Diwali. I was so glad to have discovered this website. We have recently moved to USA. The recepies r wonderful. i was missing our dishes but now i keep trying your recepies and enjoy .
We, me my husband and our daughter love the authentic traditonal recipes of North and South Kanara especially Fish. Please post some more interesting Fish curry recipes.

December 1st, 2006 at 2:38 pmShilpa
This is a great site and I have been researching about this site for some time for some mouthwaterig receipes. I was able to find some good receipes about some and non vegeterian dishes. Surprisingly , i could not find any receipes about lamb or Mutton.. But thank you for all these dishes. I am in a process of trying some a fe ewmore.
Cheers
Gol
Shilpa: Gollu, I don’t eat or cook mutton or lamb. I don’t post anything on this site unless I cook it myself. So there is no mutton category on this site.
December 3rd, 2006 at 12:17 pmHi Shilpa..

Hi Shilpa,
This is a great site.Kudos to you.
I am a GSB residing in Bahrain.
I love our food.Can you pls give me the recipe for “Sukrunde” - sweet dish & “Vaala Bendi”.
Once again hats off to you! Great work.
Shilpa: Sangeeta, Vali Bendi is called vali ambat/randayi at my home. We add a handful of toor daal to give it thickness(in vali bendi version, it might not be there). See vali ambat and vali randayi.
December 12th, 2006 at 5:08 amShilpa,
Nicely done. The site came out very nice. All the Best.
Started trying out the recipes one by one……keep you updated later.

December 14th, 2006 at 10:52 pmHi shilpa,
December 15th, 2006 at 3:58 pmI am a GSB born in Kumta myself and am presently living in NJ. I also miss a lot of my aayis cooking. Its very heartening to see good konkani recipes on your website and they bring a fragrance of home to mind. I had a lot of craving for the bland haldi paan kheer during my pregnancy. If you ever come to know where you might find these leaves please let me know
Rashmi
Wow! What a site. I savoured some of your recipes right now. It was a real feast for my eyes. I am really happy because you have shared all the good old GSB recipes. Looking forward for many more future additions.
December 28th, 2006 at 4:35 amHey I make it a point to visit this site on a daily basis and really enjoy trying out the variety of receipes posted by you…I am also v happy to suddenly get hold of ur site….when i was looking for the term in Google ‘kid lunchbox’

Your site has been a blessing for me.I visit it once every morning and then plan my menu for the day.
Keep up the good work .
Jayati
Dear Shilpa,
I have found your site very intresting and very different from other recipes sites. Especially your personal interaction with your users.
Well, I run a Photo contest website for kids - http://www.nanhiduniya.com
Recently I have added a Recipe Contest for Mommies.
I want you to get associated with my website and publish kids or vegetarian recipes.
Or may be answer queries to my users.
In return let me know what I can do for your website. Regarding monetary returns I’m running my website for free and trying to get sponsorship or ads.
Once I start getting ads then only I will be able to pay you.
Kindly reply me back on my email id. whether you are intrested or not.
Thanks ‘n’ Regards
Shailza
January 14th, 2007 at 3:44 amHello All Konkanikars,

Hi,
My mom used to make a dish called Daali Bettey when I was a kid. It was primarily made in South Kanara and one of my relatives who hailed from there had taught this to my mom. Do you know what goes in to make this?

January 29th, 2007 at 10:14 amHi Shilpa,
Just happened to visit your site while I was surfing for cake recipes. Wonderful site and of great help indeed.
I have a small query Shilpa. For baking cakes, what could be the substitute for oven. Can we make it in a pressure cooker? If yes, any care to be taken?
Thanks,
January 30th, 2007 at 5:58 amKanthi
All along my only metric of food that I made or ate was that I had to get the salt right. Your site is compelling enough to make me put some more *thought* into what I cook
February 4th, 2007 at 11:31 amShilpa,
Nice web site. My Dad and my husband Prashant’s parents are both from Kumta. I regularaly use your site for good konkani recipes. Thanks for creating this web site. We live in Virginia.

I have learnt all my cooking from my mother, who is an excellent cook.
But, your site still truely helps me with konkani cooking here in teh US.
I hail from Karwar in North Kanara - however, there is nobody there now as everybody moved to Mumbai.
Keep up the good work dear.

Hi,
I came across your site as I was looking for Kohlrabi recipes. I am really impressed. I am constantly looking for new recipes to try and I know this is one site I will be visiting very, very often. I am from Goa living in Cyprus and am really heartsick for my motherland. Coming across your website has just eased some of that pain. Thank you!!!
March 11th, 2007 at 11:34 amhi,i am sandhya.u r recipes are very good.i tried alu parota.its so good.i want to “how to prepare egg rolls” plz send me this receipe.
March 12th, 2007 at 5:04 pmHi Varun,
Came across your site when I was searching for some Konkani Recipes. I am an Amchi and I come from Mumbai Nagari but have been in the UK for pst year and a half. I always loved cooking coz my Aayi is a fantastic cook but she never let me in the kitchen saying that I would have to do it when I get married. But due to my immense curiosity and love for cooking I still watched her cook. But your site really helped me a lot as I have forgotten some things which are crucial for some recipes. Like Patholli’s for Upaas etc… Now I can have yummy Amchi cuisine in Freezing UK!!
Thanks
March 13th, 2007 at 9:29 amPoonam
Sorry Shilpa,
Instead of typing your name I typed my brothers name!! I was speaking to him about this site and typing a comment for you so got mixed up!! My brother checked out the site and loved it…he is excited about trying some basic and easy recipes right now coz he started cooking just recently (after he landed in UK….heheh)
Well thanks again for the fantastic recipes!!
Regards,
March 13th, 2007 at 10:06 amPoonam
hello shilpa, i am avinash, born and brought up in bangalore. i have been living i the uk for the last 4 years. i am a doctor by orofession. i have regular curry nights and stumbled on your website through sheer accident. i was working the night shift and googled lemon rice to show my friend a picture. Lo! your site came up. i fell in love with it especially when i read the word chitranna. this is one of my dishes for curry nights. keep up the good work. i gotta go ‘cos got patients to see. will try to get back asap. maybe i’ll post my own recipes which i are my mum’s but i have made changes to suit my lifestyle in the uk. thanks. bye for now.
March 15th, 2007 at 9:55 pmHi Shilpa
March 17th, 2007 at 8:50 amGreat job. Very interesting site. Keep it up.

hi Shilpa!
March 19th, 2007 at 5:01 pmI’m from Goa, settled in California. I’ve been a fan of your site for the past few months now, since most of your recipes are similar to the ones my mom used to make. It’s been exciting to try recipes from your site, they never fail to impress. My quest is to try every single recipe posted here. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Hi shilpa,
Well done for bringing more spice n colour to “aayisrecipes”.
I have been a silent reader for past one year.I belong to the present generation of young konk gals who learn cooking only after marriage. Although i had bought a book of konkani dishes by “Jaya V Shenoy” , i preferred refering to this website. The main reason being every recipe had a clear ,elaborate Step by Step procedure along with Do’s and Dont’s which has helped a beginner like me to improve my culinary skills. Also the recipes include items/ substitutes which are readily available abroad. And yeah..the Cake Decoration is indeed a hot topic which has added more zest to this website. Please include topics like food carving/garnishing techniques too.
Congrats once again & ALL THE BEST !!! U have a long way to go..:)
HAPPY UGADI !
Thanks,

This site is just great. I dont know how I found it…but am glad I did. My family comes from Ankola. I was born and raised in Belgaum. So was very happy to see the connection. I dont speak konkani, but my aayi’s cooking is very much the konkan style.
My dad says that his granparents were from Kodkani.
And BTW did you study in GIT??? If you get a chance do write to me offline. Would like to chat with you.
I love this site. Thank you very much for this.

April 12th, 2007 at 12:23 pmI am so excited to have found your site!!! I love to cook, and Indian food has always been my absolute favorite. It’s such a pain to sift through all the other recipe sites to find an Indian recipe! I am also a practicing Buddhist and vegetarian- your site is such a great help! Thank you so much!

Hi Shilpa
I have been visiting your site frequently. The blog name itself attracts me to visit your site and learn the aamchi recipes.
Today I cam across our “About” page and realised that we have 2 common things - I’m (partly) from Belgaum and my post-marriage last name is same as your native place!!
It wuld be nice to share all the memories of Belgaum.. do drop me a line at my email address.
Thanks for sharing all the wonderful recipes.
April 25th, 2007 at 9:19 amDear Shilpa,
April 30th, 2007 at 2:23 amMy surname is Kodkani,my ancestors hailed from that place.While searching on Google I came across this wonderful website: ayeesrecipes.com,and am pleased to see that it has become popular in a relatively short time.I will tell my daughters-in-law to visit this website…Vaccunachi tondaak uddak suttata…
Sudhirmam
Shilpa: Thanks Sudhirmam. Good to know your ancestors are from Kodkani. I know Konkani family, I think none of them are in Kodkani now. Thanks for your kind words.
I’m actually from Andhra, I spent 2 yrs in Mangalore when my mom was a lecturer in college. Mangalorean cusine is amazing! The Sannas, the fish curries and breadfruit in coconut curry - there’s nothing quite like Mangalorean cuisine. Also used to enjoy eating Ideal ice-creams with my mom and granny. Miss it so much now.
I tried your Kothimir Saar and it was SUPERB! Thanks and Keep up the great work!
Shilpa: Thanks a lot Manjari. I am honored.
May 9th, 2007 at 8:32 pmHi Shilpa
I have followed your website for sometime, and have been meaning to write. For aamchi raandap, this is by far the most complete and authentic site. Keep up the good work.
Always check with your recipes before cooking !
Thanks
Sachin
Shilpa: Thanks a lot Sachin. I am so happy to know you all like my work.
May 12th, 2007 at 4:51 pmHi Shilpa,

May 22nd, 2007 at 2:04 amHI Shilpa,
Got to know abt this great site from ur brother
.. great going ..
May 22nd, 2007 at 10:18 amIm from kumta too .. This site is too good .. especially for people who are not living in india..
I have recommended this link to my brother who is in denmark now. I know this site would help him cook some good stuff with what he gets there ..
This is one of the nicest sites done by an individual that pertains to foods in India. Congrats! Let me know and I can add you on our site .It will be nice if we can get a mention about our site ( http://www.IdiscoverIndia.com) on your page as well.
May 31st, 2007 at 2:26 amIt will be helpful for your readers. Keep up the good work of spreading the Indian culture. Hopefully that will bring more tourists to India and have them see the wonderful land we all know as “India”.
Hi Shilpa,
Simply mind blowing…you have really cherished the Konkani Cuisine.
Would you be having the receipe for “Kabbu Ambade Gassi” It is mainly a dish from south kanara.
Shilpa: There is Ghashi recipe on site. Have a look at it and I am not sure if it is same that you are asking. I am not very familiar with SK names. Will try to find.
June 1st, 2007 at 3:25 amHi
There is going to be a Blogcamp in India on 16th of June. Around 250 bloggers will be taking part in the event.
This is what they say on their blog: “The way unconferences work is that, you don’t have an agenda, rather we will put up a white board, where participants will themselves add the topics they are interested to speak upon. Depending upon the number of speakers we will go for multiple threads. There will be some intense discussions, we will have a lot of fun and yes there will be blogging, video blogging, photo blogging, podcasting … everything under the blogger sun.”
The registrations have started. We are planning to have 250 participants from all over the country. There are some people taking part virtually, using youtube, slideshare, skype etc. if you are interested please add your name to the wiki.

Your send email link does not seem to be working.

June 13th, 2007 at 10:02 pmShilpa: It works. I have changed the id slightly to avoid spam. Just remove all brackets and the letters in capitals.
Kudos! Good deal with the site.
As a suggestion, it would be really great if you can add a way to make these recipes print friendly.

Hey Shilpa,
First of all really good work…
I just love this site.All recipes looks so good so perfect.
I have tried some of them and almost all came out well.
I am from a place called gokarna and currently in blore.
Came across ur site while searching for some recipe.
Are you a working women?How and when do u get time for all these madam?
I was thinking probably u r a house wife so u will get time to do all these.
But while reading abut “AMBE SAATH” i came to know that u alos work.
Hats of to u.Where there is a will there is a way very true…
I love cooking and eating good food.
My Hubby is from Kerala. People do u know that in kerala also there is huge konkani community?
All recipes that u have posted are mostly from karnatak GSB ones.
If i find some mind blwing recipes from GSB kerala i would send it across..
Let me know how will i post it acros to u.
Pratibha
July 19th, 2007 at 4:43 amShilpa: Thanks for the kind words Prathiba. I have few Kerala Konkani recipes on thie blog. But yes, I will be happy to get more…Thanks for the offer. Please mail them to me when you find them.
Yes, I am a working women. My day usually start at 5-5.30. I go to office by 7.30 and comeback by 6-6.30. Morning I cook breakfast and lunch and in the evening, dinner. Its my passion to cook. So I manage to do it, even when I am busy. Working timings are bit relaxed in US compared to India. So it is okay.
Hi,
This is really a great site,I am a Konkana who is from Kerala and I am in Karnataka for past 8 years ,even i have stayed in Mangalore I am a big fan of your site,trust me I have got to know lot of Konkani recipess.
I made slight change to heat cucumber dosa ,instead of jaggery i added greechillies and salt and coriander leaves,since i dont like much sweets ,its great.
July 20th, 2007 at 10:51 pmDear Shilpa,
This is a beautiful site.
Like you, I also love cooking.Can we send some receipes to you.?
i came across your site through google.
Wonderful receipes, and ghar ka khana

Shilpa: Pooja, thanks for your kind words. Please mail me the recipes and I will try them here and then post them on the site.
July 26th, 2007 at 4:01 amDear Shilpa,
July 26th, 2007 at 1:35 pmI love your enthusiasm for food and for allowing us to recreate some of this magic in our own kitchens.
Just super!
Prathima.
Hey Shilpa,
July 28th, 2007 at 7:34 amI came across your website when I was net surfing.When I saw familiar words like “Aayi” and “Karnataka” I clicked on the “about me” section.Glad to know you went to an Engineering College in Belgaum. Belgaum is my hometown and I have done my Engg from GIT.
I love your “taste of home” recipes. Good job girl!!
I would love to hear from you.
Thanks,
Sheetal
Hi Shilpa,
Kashi Assa?
Have been a grad student in the US for 3 years now and looking at all the konkani recipies reminds me of my amma’s cooking. Thanks for the web-site, now I can give my room-mates a taste of amchi cuisine.

August 11th, 2007 at 8:36 amI have been living in US for last 34 years.I still love to eat and cook typical konkani dishes.I was introduced to this web site by a dear friend of mine.The recipes are mouthwatering with easy to follow instructions and pictures.You have done a great job of creating this web site for our konkani community(especially for the younger generation of konkani’s here).Thank you and God Bless you!
Seema.
Shilpa,
Great to read about ur aayi and ur background. Why you upload ur pic as well so we all can c u
August 11th, 2007 at 6:36 pmHi Shilpa,
I am a konkani too.I am not a person who enjoys cooking. But after going through your blog I have started enjoying cooking..
BTW did you finish your 12th in Ankola (GC college) by any chance?…(just curious if my classmate who used to come from Mirjan by name Shilpa is same..)
Any way one more popular Konkani dish you can post is Jeere-Mire Kadi..
keep up the good work..
Archana
Shilpa: Thanks Archana. No, I didn’t study in Ankola. Jeer-mirya kadi recipe is already there on the site.
August 12th, 2007 at 11:26 amHi shilpa,i am preeti..n i am from gokarna(which is very near to ur native),i am so hapy to see your blog.

Hey Shilpa,
I was googling for something and found this site. Its an awesome site and really well done and presented. I am a mangalorean recently moved to Canada. I am a gourmet and love cooking. Yeah, thats my hobby. I try out a lot of stuff at home. Kudos to you!
cheers,
August 22nd, 2007 at 1:00 pmAshwin
Hey shilpa,
I accidently bumped into this site today, & what a pleasant accident it has been. Some days back I prepared ‘masoor suhke’(almost similar to the one on ur website), and was wondering how to make it even more tasty thats when I bumped into this collection. Congrats!! grt job! I myself have a keen interest in cooking(thanx to aayi & Mom), reading cookery books, and enless written notes of recipes shown on TV
& often had this brainwave that I would come up with a website some day - but i think its not required, as I see most of my recipes here :-). I am a Goan,married to a Bengali & now residing in Delhi. My mother tongue is Konkani & we call my grandmother “aayi” so the very word on ur website made my heart feel warm, bringing memories of back home - Goa, where my parents & grandparents reside.Our “aayi” lives with us , & I have learnt my cooking from her.
Though I have yet to explore the website I know there are a feast of recipes out there. Thanx for making me feel at home!!
Best wishes,
August 30th, 2007 at 6:06 amRups
Hi Shilpa,
September 1st, 2007 at 8:18 amCame across ur site while googling for ragi flour recipes, but you have many more tempting recipes. More than anything your photos are very tempting. Good work, no where have I seen so many photos. I really liked ur site very very much and shall definitely browse it very regularly. I am basically from Andhra and hope you post some Andhra dishes too if possible.
Thanks
Anu
Hi Shilpa,
I am a regular visitor to your blog these days.I have tried many of your recipes and have left comments too after trying them.All your recipes turn out to be really good.I am from Karnataka also,and I like the kind of recipes you blog.It reminds me of home and mom’s food(esp the coconut-based recipes) and I really get tempted to try them out.All in all a great site with great recipes and I love the way you introduce us to the recipes citing your experiences.
Though I have visited your blog many times this is the first time I read the About page.It’s really nice to know that your whole family shows interest and helps you with your blogging.Do post in a pic of yours if possible.Would definitely like to see the cook behind all the delicious recipes.
-Sk
Shilpa: Thanks a lot for all the kind words SK :).
September 5th, 2007 at 4:54 pmHi Shilpa,
Iam a regular ghost visitor to your site. Have tried and tested some of the recipes today thought I’d take a moment to let you know that I really appreciate your patience, time and effort… your passion for cooking can be seen in your blog and that is what makes your blog so interesting for us.
Keep up the Great Work and as always will be visiting your site.

September 6th, 2007 at 5:18 pmHi Shilpa
It was so wonderful to see a fellow amchigeli on the net with all my familiar recipes and amchi atmosphere. I will try out some of your recipes- many of them are of course slightly different from what Amma and my Pacchi makes. It will be fun to try out your versions and tell them about it!
Keep up the good work, Shilpa!!
Anyone in Boston area?
Am in Boston and it’s great to know there are so many fellow Konkanis out there.

September 7th, 2007 at 4:27 pmHi Shilpa,

September 10th, 2007 at 2:18 amHi Shilpa,
I have stumbled on this BEAUTIFUL site while I was looking around for the recipe for
September 10th, 2007 at 3:13 ampomfret masala and Aayisrecipes and great pictures accompanying them really made my day…
Aayisrecipes.com is a treasure trove for me, a Konkan and I wish I had known about it sooner.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
I am off to try out the pomfret masala.

Hi Shilpa,
Love your receipes & site & writing style. It shows so much love for cooking, family, hobbies . Great work. I saw your parent’s picture how about putting your own with all the people helping you with this site.

Dear Shilpa,
First of all, I sincerely thank you and your family members for taking so much efforts to put up this website.This website is a complete winner.
Now to summarise why I liked this website even more and felt connected with it :
I am a SK - GSB Manglorean based out of Mumbai. I am married to a NK Family settled in Mumbai itself. My Inlaws are from Ankola. My husband and I are both software engineers.As I am mostly working, I have very poor culinary skills. So this site is really a GodSend to me.
Specially your presentations of the recipies are marvellous and so detailed, that I feel that an amateur can also prepare the dish rightaway.
Hence Please keep up the good work. Thanks once again.
Regards,
September 17th, 2007 at 2:30 amLilly
Dear sister Shilpa,
Thank you for the recipies. I always look forward for some new recipies and try. Your presentation is marvelous. Convey my sincere thanks to all who are supporting you in this effort. Looking for many authentic Kanara receipies.
Regards.

October 1st, 2007 at 11:54 amhi shilpa
how r u i m looking for veggie pizza pls send me recipes
thanks
October 1st, 2007 at 5:02 pmHi Shilpa,
First of all many thanks for the recipes.
I come from Honnavar. I didn’t have much experience in cooking as I was mostly away from home for studies and then later work. After I got married I had a whole chance to cook and my husband encourages and joins me in cooking. He has bought me many books. Many times I callup my mother, mother-in-law, my aunt, my husband’s aunt to get new recipes. I also had the habit of searching on net for recipes. When I was searching for Ganesha Chaturthi recipes I came across your website. I was surprised to note that all the recipes were typical to North Kanara. And I was extremely impressed to see the step by step procedure and the pictures at each stage. It is simply mind blowing. Now I am a regular visitor of your website and love to go through it and ofcourse I am trying it.
Infact I have introduced about your site to many of them in my family. Everybody is mesmerised to see the way it is posted.
Shilpa, really a GREAT WORK. Hats Off to you. I am also shocked to hear that you are maintaining such a beautiful site and at the same time working as a software engineer. Me being a software engineer I know that finding time everyday for hobbies or other things is not possible always. But still you are managing to do everything. Really great. I appreciate it very much.
Thanks once again.

October 10th, 2007 at 2:06 pmHi Shilpa, so nice to learn a little more about you and your family, and see your lovely parents and the home that you speak of so often
October 11th, 2007 at 4:13 pmCongratulations on your milestone of 500 posts. I have always admired your passion for cooking and your dedication to preserving the traditional recipes you know… thank you for sharing it!
Hi may i know the person who writes these recipes. Where does she live in united states. I am curious to know.
Shilpa: Ragini, the basic intention of starting this blog is to save my mother’s recipes. She is a great cook. I live in Kansas.
October 16th, 2007 at 11:35 pmOh great. I am a kannada brahmin living in albuquerque.People around my appartment are always talking about ayiiis recipe.All the kannadigas here seem to know ayiis recipe very well.
October 17th, 2007 at 7:33 pmshilpa it is very nice to know that you ahve mulltiple skills like u are an engineer. u know painting, cooking. Thats really great.Keep it up.

Hi Shilpa,
Got to know your site thru good ol’ Google..!! I’m a GSB though currently out of touch with the community as well as the food, your site brought back memories of my childhood and ‘amma’s’ cooking.
October 20th, 2007 at 10:20 pmHave taken great pleasure in looking at various recipes ( and I must say, looking at the photographs were a great add-on ) over the last week. Though I can, I do not cook regularly, but am compelled to restart very soon having visited your site.
Thankyou very much for investing so much time and patience in making this site memorable.
Shilpa,
I have enjoyed going through your recipes and health related tips. You have done and are still doing a great job! Keep it up.
On an unrelated topic:
As a matter of curiosity, did your mother too study in Belgaum? If yes, which school did she go to and during what years? I did my schooling (Saint Joseph’s) and college (R.L. Science Institute)in Belgaum. I have not been to Belgaum in 40 years! I am constantly looking for someone from there who went to school/college with me. I currently live in Virginia.
If you would rather reply to me privately to my email address that would be fine.
Thank you in advance.
Prabha Madhavan (nee Rajgopal)
Shilpa: Thanks for your kind words :). No my mom is not from Belgaum, sorry :(. Few of my relatives live in Balgaum, but they all moved there pretty recently.
October 23rd, 2007 at 8:19 amThanks for the response Shilpa.
Wish you well in your work on this site.
As I said before, you are doing a great job.
Prabha
October 24th, 2007 at 6:27 amWhat is Avrekelu ?
Shilpa: Vipul, please click the link for avrekalu mentioned in the post.
October 27th, 2007 at 2:32 amhi, i just came across ur site n i think i’ve found what i’ve been looking for all these days. most other sites seem to feature recipes which call for a thousand ingredients and are quite different from d actual thing. they also tend to be north indian. ur recipes seem to be just like my mum’s! ur site rocks! keep up d excellent work!:D
October 31st, 2007 at 10:38 amShilpa
November 1st, 2007 at 3:17 pmYou have done a wonderful job with this site. And your recipes are wonderful. I am a konkani from Bombay married to a Kannadiga from Bangalore. It is often difficult to get the names of the ingredients right amongst us - as he knows the english/kannada names and I know the hindi/marathi/konkani names. Life can be so much fun with the confusion. Your site gives me Kannada and Konkani ( which i truly miss). I know i will be stealing your recipes with pride as i feed my family!
Hi Shilpa,
Nice to see all those mouth watering recipe’s, I am in Boston, MA now, but am a native of Karwar. I am missing talking to people in Konkani, Konkani food and Konkani leisure.
let me know if there are any Konkani speaking people in Boston?

November 6th, 2007 at 11:05 amHi!
November 12th, 2007 at 4:03 amWell, I am from Dhrawar. I am working in Bangalore for the past two years. I get to eat my moms cooking only once a month, which is quiet a longgggggggg time!! So I decided to take things in my hand and cook the typical Dharwar delicacies myself!! Your website is of great help!
Thanks!!!
Hi Shilpa,
Its good to know about your life. Anyway, I born and brought up in bombay, hence I am very familiar with konkani, goans and maharastrian recipe. Konkani and goans food are great in taste particularly non-veg. Though I am brahamin i love to eat their non-veg.
November 14th, 2007 at 2:56 amhi shilpa nice website i stumbled on it by accident and baked the date and cahew cake turned out pretty good my dad is from north kanara too kumta and so i can identify wiht your recipees keep up the good work

November 29th, 2007 at 6:59 pmI just googled the word ‘Kadi’ since I wanted to cook some. My search led to your site and thank God I found many of my favorite dishes (non-veg especially). It made me remeber my native and then from your profile i came to know u r from Kodakni! I know the place as I m from Hiregutti. Hope u know the place. Anyways, thanks for this amazing website..its really handy for me n my wife (recently married!) currently living in Australia and miss home receipes.
Cheers!
