Goan Tavsalli: no eggs, no flour Cucumber Coconut cake, monsoon special 

I chanced upon your vlog yesterday and saw a few of your videos, Lesley. I'm enjoying each one so much especially as I'm half Goan and half Saraswat manglorean. I miss my mom's cooking and food but I'm getting all the information from your vlogs of where to eat on my next trips to my favorite place in the world, Goa. I just love the way you appreciate every simple thing in life that most ppl take for granted and see Goa from a true Goan's eyes. Keep up the good work.

Lesley, when I see your "Goan Home Cooking" I really miss my mom ' food 😢. I respect the love and passion you show in your cooking. Viva🎉 Goa.

A new way to cook this Mangalore cucumber, what we refer to as "Vellari". Here , we mostly cook it in whisked , sour buttermilk, to which is added salt, ground red chillies + turmeric, grated coconut + jeera ... ground to a fine paste . Once cooked , tempering follows with mustard seeds, a few fenugreek seeds red chilies + fresh curry leave, all spluttering in heated coconut oil. The dish is called "Moru koottan" I must try out this sweet dish. Thank you Lesley for the recipe .

I had tears watching this. My grandmother used to make similar cake. She passed away few years back. This made me nostalgic. I myself have been away from my state goa for past 13 years. Currently we are living in us and I miss all the goan food. This channel has great videos about real goan food. My 8 year old daughter shouted at me that I should stop your video being played on TV as she was feeling too hungry for fish 😅 and asked whether we had packed back any during our recent india visit. I will definitely try this recipe for my daughter and for me off course.

Nice 1 👌👌
