Oysters are super rich in zinc, which is required for strengthening the immune system of your body. Other minerals and vitamins like calcium, iron and magnesium are also present in this shellfish. In konkani, we call oysters as kalwa and they just taste amazing in any recipe. Kalwanche Tonak is a very simple and is prepared using coconut for gravy with added spices and is my mom's specialty.

Serve this delicious Kanvanche Tonak -Oyster Curry with hot steamed rice for a perfect Konkani lunch or dinner.
