PHOVA USLI

A Konkani recipe, fast and quick to prepare. Normally thick Phova is used for Phova usli. I do prepare with both the varieties, thick or thin. But you should be careful while preparing with thin variety, because the water absorbs quickly. In this case, as you put water in phova, it becomes too soggy. You must soak thick phova in water for few minutes, but for thin phova you have to just sprinkle water over it.

HOW TO MAKE:

Wash and soak the Phova for just a few minutes. 
Drain out the water completely and keep aside. See that the phova is wet and soft.
Mix salt in coconut gratings and keep aside.

Now heat kadahi with 3-4 tbsp oil.
Splutter mustard seeds, then add red chilly, slit green chilly and curry leaves.
Now add drained phova and stir nicely so that the seasoning will coat the phova evenly.
Add coconut mixture and stir well again.
