What is “marvai gasi”?

ಮರ್ವಾಯಿ ಗಸಿ (marvai gasi)
noun phrase · Kannada / Tulu (coastal cuisine)
“marvai gasi: the Mangalorean clam curry”

Filmed in “Amma’s Kitchen,” this recipe makes ಮರ್ವಾಯಿ ಗಸಿ (marvai gasi), a clam curry from coastal Karnataka. ಮರ್ವಾಯಿ (marvai) is the local word for clams and ಗಸಿ (gasi) a coconut-rich curry, the signature of Mangalorean and Tuluva home cooking.

Listen closely and the cook slips between Kannada and Tulu, the coastal language where ಮಲ್ಪ (malpa, “to make”) and ಬು8ಕ್ಕ belong. Gasi, simmered with fresh coconut, tamarind, and curry leaves, is comfort food along the Karnataka coast from Mangaluru to Udupi. Seafood, two languages, one pot.

Where you’ll hear this
