AMMBE SASAM

''AMMBE SASAM'' is extremely popular konkani recipe made with mangoes in coconut gravy with a touch of sweet and mild spicy flavour. Infact this dish is prepared in most of our konkani wedding. I make it every time whenever I get the fruit available. If mangoes are not available, then it can replaced by grapes or pineapple or desseed orange too. If ur looking for something new and different, do try this konkani sasam and make ur lunch tasty :)
