Though I am more of a paratha fan and I often find one or the other excuses to make those desi stuffed delights like Keema Paratha, Gobhi ka Paratha, Broccoli Paneer Paratha, Aloo and Matar ka Paratha for breakfast or brunch, but, sometimes I even enjoy relishing various curries such as Kerala Style Ripe Mango Curry, Thai Red Chicken Curry with a bowl of piping hot Zeera Rice and it indeed tastes absolutely finger-licking as well!
So, while on the spree of researching more for the curries, I came across this pretty unusual Konkan recipe of Valval that is considered to be very Sattvic and full of nourishment!
What is Valval?
Valval is a popular Konkani dish that is made using heaps of fresh vegetables and fresh coconut milk. Though coconut milk is easily available in the supermarket, I always prefer making it at home as I feel assured that by doing that, it would be devoid of preservatives and additives.
Also the taste that fresh coconut milk is far superior to the canned ones. You could suit yourselves and use either of them for making this delicious, one of its kind, Konkan delight- Valval.
As it doesn’t contain any onion or garlic and is gluten free, relishing Valvak with rice once in a while make you cherish the goodness of typical Indian meal made and served with sheer love and joy!
Prepare this coconut and vegetable delight at your leisure, here’s its recipe for your aid:
