This recipe is of G.S.B Cochin side
It is fantastic to see that G.S.B never ever worried of cooking. There is no parity between the rich and the poor in this case. This happened only because they do have many recipes with the vegetable they do see, in and around. They are aware of the taste of each and every vegetable, and slightly change the main recipe according to the taste of the particular vegetable.
Cochin G.S.B do have a unique recipe called “Dhevi Gassi”. This Dhevi Gassi they do with many vegetables singly or mixed with other items. It is called Dhevi because, the main masala ingredient in it , “the grated coconut” is not fried. The main difference between the various Dhevi Gassi is how you adjust the sourness of the dish according to the vegetable used and that is the beauty of G.S.B cooking. This Gassi is an example to it.
