Cooking traditional GSB Konkani comfort food for my ailing grandmother (Bapama). Here is how to make an authentic 3-dish meal featuring perfect rice, fresh Alsande Upkari, and a comforting bowl of Dalitoy!
In this video, I walk you through a quick, everyday GSB (Goud Saraswat Brahmin) style thali. My grandmother wasn’t feeling her best, so I took over Bapama’s Kitchen to whip up her absolute favorites. Plus, stick around until the end for Day 2, where we make Tingalavare Hummana (white bean curry) and Tendle Upkari (ivy gourd fry) for her recovery taste test!
