Goan chana ross or chanya ross is a vegan white peas curry made by cooking white peas in spicy coconut-based curry. Goan Chana Ross is a vegan dish made with dried white peas or “safed vatana”. In this vegan lentil curry recipe, we add grated coconut which is not roasted. Roasted coconut is added only to tonaks and chicken curries or xacuti.
Goan Chanya Ross or Goan Chana Ross is a recipe which my mom taught me. Curry is known as ross in Konkani which is a Goan language. Dad being a pure vegetarian, mom has to cook both veg and non-veg dishes on a daily basis. The veg recipes which my mom makes are equally delicious!
Difference between ross and tonak:
TONAK is also a Konkani name for curries, but there is difference between ross and tonak. In tonaks like Goan Chana Tonak, we roast the grated coconut, but in ross we don’t roast. Also, we don’t add black pepper corns to this ross recipe unlike other recipes. You can also make this recipe without onion. The taste remains same.
Enjoy!
