Tisreo Sukhem
'Tisreo' means 'clams' and 'sukhem' refers to 'dry'. So this recipe is a dry coconut based Goan preparation of clams. Very easy to make and can be enjoyed as a side dish along with rice and Goan curry. Also referred to as 'Tisreanchem Sukhem'. Its very much the same recipe of the crab sukem that I shared earlier.
Ingredients
- 45-50 Clams (I used frozen ones)
- 4 tbsp Coconut oil
- 1/2 inch Ginger Piece (chopped)
- 6 Garlic cloves (chopped)
- 2 Kashmiri chilies
- 2 medium sized Onion (thinly sliced)
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp Chili powder
- 2 Green chilies (chopped)
- 1/4 cup Fresh grated coconut
- 1 tbsp Tamarind (soak in 1/4 cup warm water)
- 1/2 tbsp Jaggery (I used cane jaggery )
- Salt (as per taste)
- 1/4 tsp Garam masala powder
Instructions
-
1 I used frozen clams.
-
2 Keep ingredients ready.
-
3 Heat oil in a pan. Add the kashmiri chilies and the garlic, sauté for few seconds.
-
4 Fry the onion till soft. Add the chili and turmeric powder. Fry for half minute.
-
5 Add the clams (tisreo) , salt, jaggery, tamarind water, coconut and green chilies.
-
6 Let them cook (Covered for about 5-8 minutes).
-
7 You will see the clams opening up. Now cook them without cover on vessel.
-
8 Add garam masala. Mix well. Cook till the preparation almost dries up.
-
9 Serve hot ! Enjoy with rice and Goan curry!!! (See recipe notes below for Goan curry recipe links and crab sukhem recipe).

Hi Xanti….
Tisreos have sand in them…..then how can we leave them to open in the utensil itself.? Could you please tell me, will I hv to open each of them & wash ?
Hi Christina
First of all
Check to see which of them are already opens when you purchased them , discard the open ones , don’t use them in cooking.
The rest , keep in freezer for sometime , they will open up … the closed ones shld not have sand in them
…
Tastes awesome..thank you for the recipe.
