Authentic GSB Style Ghosale Ambat
Welcome to Discoveries and Delights! Today, we are diving into the heart of Konkani cuisine with a classic, comforting dish: Ghosale Ambat (Heerekayi Huli).
“Ghosale” refers to Ridge Gourd (Heerekayi) and “Ambat” is a traditional Konkani style curry or sambar made with a base of lentils and a freshly ground coconut masala. This recipe is the perfect blend of health and taste—simple to cook, yet incredibly flavorful with the aromatic touch of Hing (Asafoetida) and a hint of sweetness from jaggery.
If you are looking for a soul-satisfying side dish for hot steamed rice, this authentic GSB recipe is a must-try!
