Cucumber idli (Kadamb)

Cucumber idli (Kadamb)

“Kadamb” is another dish that always I wanted to include in Aayisrecipes. But like hittu/khotte, for this, the ‘turmeric leaves’ were not available here. So I always prepared either tausalli or made these in banana leaves like this. So this was one of the dishes in “most-wanted-pictures” list. Like hittu/khotte, these pictures are also taken …

Konkani Vadas (Biscuit ambado)

Konkani Vadas (Biscuit ambado)

Every South Indian cuisine has its own recipe for Vadas. Here is Andhra Version of it. As Preeti says here, this is a must in any wedding meal (Vardike/lagna javan) for Konkanis. ‘Biscuit ambado‘ is prepared as an evening snack at my home. Aayi makes these vadas with ginger chutney. Her vadas are very soft …

Pathrado or pathrode

Pathrado or pathrode

Pathrado is one of my all time favourite dishes. I remember writing ‘pathrado‘ in the ‘favourite food’ column of autograph books which were circulated during our college days (autograph books are little books having columns as name, address, phone number, favourite actor, favourite actress, favourite food etc etc. During my college days, everyone had a …

Airaawat

Airaawat

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of any Konkani wedding or thread ceremony lunch? It is obviously Airaawat (No, I am not talking about the white elephant ‘Airaawat’, Indra’s Chariot). It is a dish mostly prepared only for such functions. I haven’t seen people preparing it for day …

Sprouted moong daal side dish ( Muga moLe randayi)

Sprouted moong daal side dish ( Muga moLe randayi)

This is a favorite dish of most of the Konkanis. A must in all North Kanara functions. Mooga moLe means sprouted moong.

Jeera-Pepper Kadhi (Jeer-mirya kadi)

Jeera-Pepper Kadhi (Jeer-mirya kadi)

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 …

Coconut dosa (Soyi polo/Pan polo/Neer dose)

Coconut dosa (Soyi polo/Pan polo/Neer dose)

This is a very common breakfast in North Canara. The combination differs. Some people eat this dosa with normal coconut chutney or jaggery(molasses) or chutney powder. But I like this dosa with garlic chutney the way my mother does it. This is called Neer dosa in Kannada and served with fish/chicken curry in Mangaloren restaurants. …

Daal (Dalithoy)

Daal (Dalithoy)

Daali thoy(dalitoy/dalithoy) is the first recipe learnt by all konkani people when they start cooking. It is simple daal with chilies, ginger, asafoetida etc. This is a must in almost all Konkani functions and festivals. May be one of the very important comfort food. The traditional recipe does not call for coriander leaves, but I …
