Bibbe Humman

Bibbo or tender cashenut is a popular delicacy among GSBs. In the high Season from February to May, GSBs make various preparations with bibbo. Bibbe Upkari, Aambat, Sukkhe, Saghlen, Song, Vaagu, Valval and Humman are few of them.

Bibbe Humman is made just like Batate Humman or Prawn Humman but amount of red chillies used here is less than in other cases. A spicy tangy coconut based masala is freshly ground, calculated amount of fresh bibbo is cooked along with, garnished with asafotoeda solution and coconut oil to finish off a delicious aromatic curry which can be consumed with rice, idlis or chapathis.
