I don't know the exact reasons to call it a ghashi...Usually we call the recipe ghashi if we add garlic as a seasoning to the masala (coconut, redchilli and tamarind).

I love beans. Also beans are so nutritious, high in protein and help lower cholesterol. I recently came across a recipe called 'Shrimp Ghashi/Ghassi' and it had more or less the same ingredients as above except of course beans was substituted with shrimp. So does 'ghashi' mean anything in particular in konkani?
