Avale kadi

This is another Konkani recipe, which we have almost forgotten. Avale is gooseberry. This is a spicy randai or curry made with gooseberry, coconut, red chillies and other spices.

Ingredients:

3-4 avale or gooseberry
1 cup grated coconut
6-8 red chillies
1/2 teaspoon jeera (cumin seeds)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4-5 garlic for seasoning
1 teaspoon oil

Method:

Cook the gooseberries in the pressure cooker and deseed it. Fry the red chillies, jeera and black pepper in little oil and then grind it to a fine paste with the grated coconut. Now add the gooseberries and grind it to form the gravy consistency. Bring it to boil. Heat the oil in a pan and add the crushed garlic. Once the garlic gets golden brown, add it to the kadi. You may serve this kadi with rice.
