Delicious, Traditional Goan Sweet Beans<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sweet black-eyed beans (chawli, white or brown) is a traditional but forgotten Goan tea-time snack. It’s tasty, nutritious, and super-easy to make. We need just a handful of ingredients to make this sweet \u2013 chawli or black-eyed beans (both white and brown chawli can be used), jaggery (palm or cane jaggery or a mix of both), grated fresh coconut, and some ground cardamom. As a special ingredient, you could add chopped cashew nuts.<\/p>\n

The mix of jaggery and fresh coconut is called ‘chun’ in Konkani. And since beans are called ‘chuvodeo’, in Goa this sweet dish is also called ‘chuvodeachem chun’. For this recipe, the beans have to be\u00a0 cooked till they’re nice and soft.<\/p>\n

I remember my mother making this as a tea time treat when I was a kid in school. And I was particularly fond of this dish. Don’t be surprised if it becomes your family’s favourite snack too. Just remember this dish is meant to be enjoyed right away. But you could store it in the fridge and finish it within 3 days too. And yes, you could enjoy it hot or cold. Your choice!<\/p>\n

In an age of fast foods, two other delicious Goan tea time treats that have been forgotten, but are worth checking out, are Goan Sheero<\/a> and Goan Goddxem<\/a>.<\/p>\n
