Valval is a very popular Konkani dish. Yogi Ratna is its other name. It is a very mild dish and is commonly prepared for special occasions like marriage, thread ceremony etc, as it is a No- onion and garlic dish.
I tried it for the first time and we loved it. I served it along with rice and batate vaagu and the combination was a hit. Try making this. This dish has loads of veggies, the richness of the coconut milk and the seasoning using ghee gives it a special touch. Altogether its worth trying.
Ingredients:
Now add the coconut milk and keep stirring continuously. Once it comes to a boil, turn off the heat.
For Seasoning- Heat ghee. Then add mustard seeds. Once it starts spluttering, add cumin seeds and curry leaves. Fry until cumin seeds turn slight brown. Turn off the heat and add this to veggies in the coconut milk. Mix well. Valval is ready!!
Serve it hot with rice and a spicy dish like Batate vaagu, batate song or any other spicy dish of your choice.
