Taste Of Goa
Quick on the heels of Goa on your plate! I am doing another SupperClub with some favourites from the Goan menu and some new vegetarian options. Goan food has both coastal Indian and Portuguese influences both of which i will be showcasing here.
Starter
Choris Pav
Spicy Goan Sausages (chorizo) cooked with onions stuffed in a bap.
OR
Bhajji Pav (Veg)
Sliced potato coated in gram flour batter and deep fried until crunchy, served in a bap.
Chutneys and Dips
Main course
Mutton Xacuti
The Xacuti is iconic. It is probably one of the most well known dishes in and out of Goa. It is made with slowly roasted coconut and onions, ground with a variety of spices. The roasting gives it a wonderful smoky flavour that’s distinctly different from other curries. Oh and not to forget ….this one is Hot Hot Hot!!
OR
Tonak (Veg)
Slow roasted coconut, onions and spices cooked with mixed vegetables
Chicken Cafreal
Chicken thighs marinated in a green masala paste made with coriander, garlic, spices and vinegar.

Amti
Yellow dal tempered with mustard seeds. Wonderfully light and a perfect accompaniment.
