Watery and mildly spiced forsooth! Come off to Bombay. The queen's version shall be presented! @Thaths - I think the moldy version had to be consumed pretty quick. Mildy fugu fish level. Too little mold and it's not flavorful; too much mold and you're down with some serious gastro -- Narendra Shenoy http://narendrashenoy.blogspot.com

Karnataka coastline staple. Mom makes a variant with ridge gourd core (or what's called the tiruLu in Kannada) thrown in, which gives the whole thovve an amazing texture. A good thovve can proudly stand shoulder to shoulder with all pappus from Andhra Pradesh. And if SRS has had thovve/daalithoy that was watery, he must rather pissed off whatever Konkani host was serving him.
Re: [silk] Food spoilage question
Come on udups, even the name means Dal + Water. :) Though yes, I was sort of exaggerating. I grew up with konkani friends (half my father’s colleagues are from Karkala, with names like Shenoy and Pai) —srs On 20-May-2015, at 5:22 pm, Thejaswi Udupa thejaswi.ud...@gmail.com wrote: And if SRS has had thovve/daalithoy that was watery, he must rather pissed off whatever Konkani host was serving him.
Re: [silk] Food spoilage question
Thoya is water in sanskrit. Purely human error in etymology if it has a different derivation.

Also, most Konkanis in fact prefer the dalithoy daaT. daaT means thick. Quite the opposite of watery.

Almost everyone I know gets nostalgic about it from time to time (mainly because the kids hate it, which means it rarely gets made). That sounds about right. My father loves it but I hate it. I like the Marathi version called varan which has ghee-fried Jeera seasoning. -- Vinayak
