Clam Masala, known as 'Tisriya Masala' in coastal Maharashtra and Goa, is a savory and aromatic seafood dish. This recipe involves simmering fresh clams in their shells with a rich masala base of grated coconut, roasted spices, and tangy tamarind. The sweetness of the clam meat pairs perfectly with the earthy notes of cumin and coriander. Its taste is intensely flavorful and juicy, with the gravy captured inside the open shells. This dish is a celebrated delicacy in Konkani households, best enjoyed by hand with steamed rice or soft wade.

Tips & Secrets

  • Clams that do not open during cooking should be discarded as they may be bad.
  • Using Malvani masala provides the most authentic Konkani flavor profile for this dish.
  • Cleaning the clams thoroughly is the most important step to avoid a gritty texture.
  • Do not add too much water; the clams will release their own flavorful juices while cooking.
