"Batate Humman" is a Konkani side dish. Potatoes simmered in mildly spiced coconut gravy with a dash of asofoetida.
A non garlic non onion gravy dish, cooked mostly on festival days when konkani people do not eat onion and garlic.
This is a very simple gravy dish which can be made with fresh or dessicated coconut.
A big favourite among most of the konkani community, but the biggest fan of this dish I know is one of my cousin, who loved this dish so much as a kid that he wanted his mom to cook large quantities of it and fill it in the well they had it in their backyard, just so that he could eat it whenever he wanted.
