Add 1/2 cup of cooked black-eyed peas (alsande) or chickpeas along with the jackfruit for a protein boost and a different texture. This is a common variation in Konkani households.
If raw jackfruit is unavailable, you can make this gashi with raw bananas (plantains), potatoes, or suran (yam). Adjust the cooking time accordingly.
For a richer, creamier gravy, add 2-3 soaked cashews while grinding the coconut masala.

The use of fresh coconut and coconut oil provides medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are easily digestible fats that can provide a quick source of energy and support heart health.
Spices like turmeric and coriander seeds used in the masala are known for their potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which help combat oxidative stress in the body.
One serving of Kadgi Gashi (approximately 1 cup or 225g) contains around 200-250 calories. The exact count depends on the amount of coconut and oil used.
