Looking for a cuisine that has just the right amount of spices and brimming with taste and flavour? Indian cuisine, with a plethora of rich and flavoursome dishes, would rightly fit the bill. From Ladakh to Kanyakumari, every Indian region has a dish that can tantalise your taste buds. Malvani cuisine from the South Konkan region of India is one such example. The cuisine boasts of many scrumptious, spicy delicacies that are tough to find anywhere else. An amalgamation of Goan and Maharashtrian cuisine with a distinct cooking technique, Malvani cuisine is characterised by extensive use of coconut in its various forms (grated, dried, or its milk) along with chillies, spices and herbs.
Even though Malvani cuisine has a good variety of vegetarian dishes, it is predominantly known for its non-vegetarian dishes such as Kombdi Vade, Jhinga Fry and Paplet Saar (Malvani fish curry with pomfret). What also distinguishes it from other cuisines is the unique combination of spices that makes for the authentic Malvani masala, used across its delectable dishes. The Malvani masala is a mix of 15-16 dry spices that are ground with coconut, imparting a distinct flavour. If you are new to the Malvani cuisine, we have a simple yet absolutely delicious chicken curry to begin with.
