Tisrya Masala

Spicy Clams in dry Masala

Clams (Tisrya’s) are one of my husband’s favourite seafood. He loves and relishes clams in dry masala. When we see fresh clams, we tend to buy it and make our favourite Tisrya Sukkem, meaning Spicy clams in dry masala. Most Goan households will have their own version of this dish. In this article show you how to prepare Tisrya Masala.

It is important to know that clams are high in phosphorus, iron, and potassium, which lead to good health benefits for our body. So enjoy your clams dish once in a while with rice or bread. It is important to note that clams have salt inherent in them, so be careful while adding salt. Also at the same time stir them carefully, to avoid getting them opened and detached completely.
