Kultha Ghashi
Horse Gram Curry
Ingredients
– 2 cup horse gram (kulith)
– Elephant yam, raw jackfruit seeds, or raw jackfruit (optional)
– 2 cups of grated coconut
– Fried Dried red chillies, as per taste
– Tamarind, as needed
– Salt, as needed
– Oil, for tempering
– Garlic cloves, crushed
– Water, as needed
Method
1. Soak the horse gram overnight, or cook it directly in a pressure cooker.
2. If cooking without soaking, wash the horse gram, pressure cook for 8–10 whistles. Switch off the gas and let the pressure release naturally.
3. Check whether the horse gram is cooked. Add elephant yam, raw jackfruit seeds, or raw jackfruit, if using. Pressure cook for one more whistle, until everything is cooked.
4. Add salt and bring it to a boil.
5. Grind grated coconut, fried dried red chillies, tamarind, and water into a fine paste.
6. Add this paste to the cooked horse gram and simmer well until the flavours combine.
7. Heat oil in a small pan and fry the garlic until golden brown. Pour this tempering over the curry.
8. Your traditional Konkani-style Kultha Ghashi is ready to serve with rice.
