Prawn Rissois

Prawn Rissois

Today we have an authentic recipe handed down straight from the Portuguese while they were in our beloved Goa! Its called the Prawn Rissois, pronounced as Rissoee its a mouth watering appetizer, that melts in your mouth!

There are two steps involved in the Prawn Rissoe Recipe, first is to make the stuffing that’s put inside the rissole. Is possible to make it with even ham, corned beef or anything else you think will go well, but this Rissole is with prawns.

Hi Clyde
Thank you for the wonderful recipes.
Can the ressois be breaded and frozen and baked later rather than deep fried ?
Do you think it will taste fine?
Thanks

Sticky pastry is the flower dough mixture going wrong, too much water. Try it with a lil less water, if sticky can add more dough always 🙂

Thank you for a fun and festive site. Even being half Goan, I never really learnt to cook Goan food. Have always wanted to learn… So I decided I was going to try the Prawn Rissoli. The steps are so well layed out I felt I could give it a shot. It actually turned out well. Thanks!

You have a really well designed site. What a fabulous tribute to your mother. Keep it going.

Nice going… the tipri… you obviously knew that question was coming.

This is an awesome site, from an information perspective and the layout.

Have you thought of getting into website design? You obviously have a talent for communication ( the 'tipri' being considered an acceptable lapse :-))

Keep up the awesome work.
