Sannas

Spongy rice cakes - perfect accompaniment to the tangy spicy sorpatel or vindaloo, or even crab curry.

Sarpotel (Goan Pork)

The "killer" goan pork pickle curry - so spicy. Best if eaten a few days after it is made.

Goan Salt Meat

The First Trial: 1.8 kgs at start

My "Nagpore" grandmother's recipe - as handed down to her daughter who passed this on to her niece (me) who's husband makes this for his son. Wonderful flavor, best eaten cold and sliced thin.

Stick with the ingredients in the right proportion - we did one version "andaz-se" and it was WAY too salty. We usually avoid the salt petre (difficult to get, and nitrates aren't recommended in food).

Spicy Chicken Roast A La Goa

A special occasion meal because of the time to prepare, the chicken roast was usually the chief guest at sit-down dinner which few of us could get up from easily. Accompanied by heavily buttered bread, and wine (for the adults), the meal finished off with caramel custard or the biscuit layered pudding.

Goa Prawn (OR Fish) Curry

Best accompanied with rice. Try to use pungent green chillies, the combination of that with the coconut milk is perfect.


Ingredients:

• 1 coconut  
• 1 kodumpulli torn into strips
• 1/2 kg fish or prawns (deveined and shelled)
