Since Konkan is a pilgrimage destination, non - vegetarian food is a little rare. But on the outskirts of devhare fish curry, rice and kokam kadhi are available. Vegetable curries are also very tasty, prepared with a coconut base. "Modak", the favorite sweet meat of Lord Ganesh, is also available.
The Konkan coast is rich in horticulture with delicious exotic fruits, particularly the Ratnagiri "Happoos" mangoes. These are also turned into sweet preparations like Ambapoli and Phanaspoli (pancakes of dried mango and jackfruit respectively).
