Gajbaje Ambat | Seasonal Vegetables in Mildly Spicy Coconut Masala - Authentic GSB Konkani Cuisine

Hello Everyone, Welcome back to Bapama's Kitchen! Today, we embark on a culinary journey with my amazing grandmother, to unveil the secrets of Gajbaje Ambat, a vibrant and soul-warming coconut curry overflowing with seasonal vegetables.

More than just a dish, Gajbaje Ambat is a tradition. This spicy medley graces every festival feast, its aroma weaving through festive celebrations like Ganesh Chaturthi, Vayana Pooja, and Krishna Janamasthami.

Imagine a kaleidoscope of colors and textures dancing in a rich, coconutty embrace. That's Gajbaje Ambat! From plump sweet, potatoes and tender yams to vibrant beans and delicious pumpkin, any vegetable of the season can join the party. Grandma expertly selects a rainbow of veggies, ensuring every bite bursts with unique textures and flavors.

The heart of Gajbaje Ambat lies in its mildly spicy coconut-based masala. Freshly grated coconut lends its creamy richness, while roasted red chillies tantilize the palate. Tamarind adds complexity, and the whole symphony is brought to life in a crackling mustard seed & curry leaves tempering.

While Gajbaje Ambat shines at festivals, its versatility knows no bounds. Enjoy it steaming hot over rice for a comforting meal, or pair it with the contrasting sweetness of Kheeri for a truly festive experience.
