The word Sorpotel has not only a legacy but an interesting history associated with it. Sorpotel is a Goan Delicacy that is not only known in the Goan community but to everyone who has visited Goa.
Most people know that Chicken Xacuti is actually pronounced as shakuti. Its a unique dish that consists of Poppy seeds and Kashmiri Chillies. The pronunciation "Shakuti" is most probably derived from the word "Chacuti" which is Portuguese...
This is one of my all time favorite kind of chicken recipes, its like the tandoori chicken of Goa, except of course its green in colour. Since I was a kid cafreal chicken has made my mouth water.
A while since a new recipe has been posted here, today I have for you a delicious Goan meat curry. You can use either Beef or Mutton, its tastier with Mutton. We are prepare it with Veal in this recipe.
Pork Vindaloo is synonymous with Goan food, but how does it get its name? After some research we found out that vin stands for vinegar and ahlo means garlic in Portuguese.
This Goan recipe is fairly simple to make, it involves the Goan five spice masala. The chicken roast goes well in sandwiches when shredded and can also be eaten as a snack when made with bits as its a dry dish.
Salted pork is an easy to make appetizer that hardly requires cooking time and ingredients. You will be suprised that such a simple dish could end up being so tasty!
We decided to make the Mutton Xacuti, its virtually the same as the Chicken Xacuti, except the cooking time takes a while longer. But Mutton sure is tastier than Chicken :)
Feijoada is red beans from Goa with pork cooked with a curry and served with rice. Introduced by the Portugese, Feijoada is yummy and easy to make!
