First, scrub the outer shells under cold running water. Discard any that are open and don't close when tapped. Then, soak them in a bowl of salted cold water for at least 20-30 minutes. This encourages the clams to spit out any internal sand. Drain and rinse them again before cooking.
This dish pairs beautifully with traditional Maharashtrian breads like Jowar Bhakri or Rice Bhakri (Tandlachi Bhakri). It also goes very well with simple steamed rice or chapatis.
Yes, you can use frozen clams. Thaw them completely before use. If using pre-cooked frozen clam meat (without shells), reduce the cooking time significantly. Add the meat in the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, just to heat through and coat with the masala.
