Dalitoy is a "God Father" among all konkani food. It is the most favorite dish and prepared atleast once in a week. Very simple, tasty and easy recipe. Some of them add ginger / Alle to it but I dont. My husband loves it so much that I prepare it atleast twice a week and it goes well with all side dishes.
