Wadiyacho ros is a very famous coconut based curry made in Goa. It does not require onion and garlic and hence is a favorite on no-onion, no-garlic days.
Now what is a wadi? Despite trying a lot, I could not find the English name for it. However, here is a picture for those who want to know what it is 🙂
Since these wadis are available only in Goa, I make it a point to get a stock of them to Bahrain whenever I come from Goa. A few days back, we were in the mood of eating this curry. I was not sure if my toddler would like it, as it was the first time I had made it for her. But she absolutely loved it 🙂
