Potato Curry (Kukka Ghessi)

"Ghessi" is a very famous curry in Konkani families ..We prepare different varieties of ghessi ..This is made from roasted cocunut.

Of all the ghessi's, my favourite is "Kooka Ghessi " (Potato Ghessi) which is made with Potato.  Updating the recipe today 

Ingredients

Potato - 2 Big ones

Toor Dal - 1/2 Cup

Grated Cocunut  - 1/2 cup

Dried Red chillies - 5 Nos

Recipe

Peel the potato skin, Cut it in cubes and boil it with Toor dal for 5 -6 whistles. In a frying pan, add the garted cocunut, Red chillies and fry it till cocunut turns brown.  Grind it in a mixer. In the curry pan, take the boiled potato and dal. Add the grinded cocunut and salt and boil for 2 min. 

Note : 

1.  For finer taste, you can add 1/2 Tsp of oil after taking it from the stove. Curry leaves can also be added.
