Black Bean Curry/ Alsande Ghasi

We konkani people use coconut in almost everything. All ghasi has coconut, but the combination of different lentil and vegetable tastes different. That is one reason I post all ghasi, koddel, sukke etc on this blog.

I always store 3-4 types of beans and lentils. This comes very hand when I don't have vegetables stored. A very simple saaru-upkari also tastes divine.

Coconut Chutney/ Narla Chutney

We eat this chutney only with Mumbri. This is the simplest chutney I have ever had. I like this chutney because this doesn't need grinding and can be prepared instantly. With frozen coconut this is even easier. Just thaw the coconut and mix all the other ingredients.

Rice Flour Dosa/ Mumbri

Mumbri is very similar to Akki Rotti. My grand mom used to prepare this a lot of time. The main ingredient for this dish is loni or makhan and banana leaf. I do not get loni here and at times I wont even have banana leaf. I still go ahead and prepare this on a cast iron frying pan. However this tastes best only when it is fried by covering banana leaves.

We at home usually eat this with loni or ghee and coconut chutney.
