Goan Cuisine - the Ultimate Coastal Food

Food is my first love. Born in a Vegetarian family, the love for food made me try the "non"-Vegetarian dishes too. I did not want to restrict my palette. My aim in life at age of 5 was to become a "FOOD-TASTER" if there was a job like that, haha. Our trip to goa made me realise how glad I am to switch to the meat side of the world. Though I would be totally okay with living a vegetarian life but the protein adds something that tofu couldn't to my taste buds.

1. Goan Fish Curry

Fish, lemon, salt, cumin seeds, turmeric, garlic, Kashmiri mirch, coriander seeds, coconut, tamarind, onion, green chillies.

2. Goan Prawn Curry

Prawn, lemon, salt, cumin seeds, turmeric, garlic, Kashmiri mirch, coriander seeds, coconut, tamarind, onion, green chillies.

3. Bebinca

This is Goa's most famous sweet. This dessert is a multi-layered cake made from egg, coconut milk, sugar and ghee. Cooking a perfect bebinca is considered an art form. A lot of patience is needed at the time of its preparation as the next layer can only be added once the previous layer has been cooked. Each layer is cooked in the oven until it has a light fudge consistency. This can be eaten hot or cold and is traditionally served at Christmas.

4. Pork Vindaloo

Vinegar toddy,onion,pork belly with fat (without skin, garlic,vinegar masala,ginger and garlic paste.

5. Goan Nevri

Refined flour, grated coconut, sugar, poppy seeds (khus khus),powdered green cardamom,finely chopped almonds.
