   Cockles/Clams or Khubbe in Konkani are a popular type of edible shellfish in Mangalore. They are available in 3 varieties ie. Khubbe,Tisre or Kalva. They are collected by raking them from the sands at low tide.

There are many ways of preparing cockles. Either in a dry style with a simple array of spices and coconut as in this recipe called "Khubbe Sukke" meaning 'cockles in a dry spicy coconut masala' or served as "Khubbe Mutlees" where 'cockles are cooked in a spicy rich coconut gravy with rice dumplings' (mutlees).
