I love sea food and fortunately in Mountain View, CA there are various markets where you can get it fresh and in variety too. Clams are one of my favorite seafood. Clams can be applied to freshwater mussels or as “Tisrya” in Marathi. Tisrya Masala has always been my favorite. I have tried and tasted clams in various cuisines from clam noodles to clam pizza but so far I love the Indian style clams the most.
So in order to keep my taste buds happy I made Green clams which were so amazingly spicy and delicious. Thus I decided to share this easy recipe.

Ingredients
Clams
Oil/Olive Oil

For Marination
Lemon juice
Salt
Turmeric powder

For Green Chilli Paste
Coriander Leaves
Mint Leaves
Green chillies
Garlic
Ginger
Salt

Wash the clams well.
Marinate them with lemon juice, turmeric powder and salt for 2 hrs.
In a large, deep skillet, heat the oil. Add the green masala and cook over moderately high heat, stirring frequently.
Lastly add clams and salt as per taste. Cook them for 15-20 mins. Sprinkle chat masala and serve hot as an appetizer.

P.S: When I bought the clams they were looking so fresh and pretty that I didn’t forget to get few clicks of them . But no matter how gorgeous they were I had to eat them 😛
