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 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!

Valval is a popular Konkani dish that is made using heaps of fresh vegetables and fresh coconut milk.
