Rice with fish curry is the staple diet in Goa. Goa is renowned for its rich variety of fish dishes cooked with elaborate recipes. Coconut and coconut oil is widely used in Goan cooking along with chile peppers, spices and vinegar giving the food a unique flavour. Pork dishes such as Vindaloo, Xacuti and Sorpotel are cooked for major occasions among the Catholics. A rich egg-based multi-layered sweet dish known as bebinca is a favourite at Christmas. The most popular alcoholic beverage in Goa is feni; Cashew feni is made from the fermentation of the fruit of the cashew tree, while coconut feni is made from the sap of toddy palms.

Answer 5

Goan cuisine is very rich in spices and ingredients. Cashews play a major role in Goan food and you can get a bit of these cashews in most of the Goan food. The food in Goa can be mouth watering but if you cannot take in much spice, then you may not be able to enjoy the food.

Eating out in Goa can be a special experience. Goa is lined up with numerous restaurants offering Goan food or any other food that you want. These Goan restaurants are usually situated by the beach and eating here with the setting sun for company can prove to be simply irresistible.

GOA NON-VEGETARIANS FOOD

In true Portuguese-Goan tradition, many of the delicacies on the menu in Goan restaurants are various types of meat soaked in different spices for at least a day or two before being cooked with a generous dose of homemade spices. You could try the Galhina Piri-Piri, which are chicken pieces marinated in a mild mixture of piri-piri and Goan herbs, before being fried. As legend goes the Goa cuisine is responsible for introducing that quintessential Portuguese delicacy Chicken Cafreal (chicken marinated in a mildly spiced green coconut masala and fried) to the people world over. Another mouth-watering specialty of Goa is Pork Vindaloo (Pork cooked in a spicy, oily masala gravy).

GOA SEAFOOD

Few of the oldest Goan restaurants offer some of the finest cuisine in Goa. You could start off with a plateful of delicious stuffed crabs. Spicy crabmeat is stuffed into the shell of the crab, sealed with a layer of dough and then baked to perfection. Or you could try the prawns stuffed Papads, which are like rolled, fried tacos with a spicy prawn filling. Once you've whetted your appetite, dive into a feast of Portuguese dishes like Fish Caldine (mildly spiced coconut and turmeric fish curry). Seafood Caldeirada (seafood poached in a white wine sauce served with sautéed vegetables).

Apart from local spices, local brews like feni and toddy also form an integral part of the cooking process. So, once you're ready for another round, try the Balchao de Camaro or spicy prawns cooked in a tangy shrimp and feni sauce. Then there's the Peixe Reachado which is a seasonal fish stuffed with a spicy homemade Goan masala and fried. End your meal on a sweet note with Bolo Sans Rival (a sweet cashew nut based cake with a layer of biscuit), which is a unique blend of flavours and textures, that's sure to have you asking for more.

  

GOAN COCKTAILS

Apart from food, if you are looking at exotic Goan cocktails, then they are also available in almost all the restaurants in Goa. The Catamaran, for example is a smooth blend of Vodka, Bacardi, pineapple Juice and lemonade that will go well with an Oriental meal. You could begin your oriental odyssey with Stuffed Crabs, which unlike their Goan counterparts are stuffed with Thai herbs, button mushrooms and carrot. Goenchin's Chicken Taipei (chicken sautéed in hot green sauce) and Prawns Taipei (prawns sautéed in Szechwan sauce) are perfect accompaniments to complement your cocktail.

GOA VEGETARIAN FOOD

The cuisine in Goa has special treats stored for the vegetarians too. You will come across many restaurants in Goa, which serves unusual range of Hindu-Goan specialties. Try the Cashew Green Peas Bhaji (a tangy mixture of cashews, green peas, spices and fresh coconut), Sprouted Moong Ussal (bean sprouts with mustard seeds, green chillies and fresh coconut) and the Alsandachem Tonakh (kidney beans with a spicy Xacuti gravy). You can also try out the range of desserts, but the Tender Coconut Soufflé and Bebinca (a traditional seven-layered coconut and jaggery dessert) will simply capture your taste buds.
