The exotic and spicy flavours of cooking from Goa...
The spectacular food eaten in Goa is familiarly Indian but with cooking techniques and ingredients (such as vinegar and chillies) introduced by the Portuguese who colonially ruled there for 450 years. To begin we’ve got prawn cafreal served with coconut pancakes, mango raita and a cucumber and radish salad.
Next, a dish showcasing the Portuguese influence - chilli chorizo fry and a mustard seed and mint pilau. Finally, some moreish Indian snacks known as sooji gujiya, the sweet version of samosas, filled with mango and coconut and coated in a sweet, tangy chaat masala.

The pastries were delicious and so easy. Once again a very tasty dinner!
This is my third "Date Night" and what a delicious banquet it was. Really broadened my awareness of exotic spices. Can't wait to use the free sample to make a tomato chutney too!
Looks like a brilliant banquet to us- all you need is a view of palm trees and the Arabian Sea in the background and you could be on a beautiful beach in Goa!
Best part about this was the dessert. The mango coconut filling was super tasty. Everything else was good, but not inspired
Glad you enjoyed this, looks like a delicious combination of flavours!
Really loved this one! The chorizo fry was gorgeous!
