Famous Food-: 😉😊
Fish Curry Rice (Goan Fish Curry)- Every cuisine lover should eat Fish Curry Rice, Goa’s specialty dish. Fresh fish, usually mackerel or pomfret, is cooked in a zesty and hot curry made with coconut milk in this delicious dish. Because turmeric is used liberally, the curry has a vivid yellow color that is counterbalanced by the sourness of tamarind and the fire of red chilies. This dish, with its ideal balance of spices and coconut, perfectly captures the essence of Goan cuisine when served over steamed rice.🐟🐡
Pork Vindaloo- Although it has been customized to local tastes, Pork Vindaloo, another famous Goan dish, has Portuguese culinary origins. Made with marinated pork cooked with vinegar, garlic, and a variety of spices, the meal is a hot, tangy, and flavorful curry. Vindaloo derives its name from the Portuguese “vinha d’alhos,” which refers to the two main ingredients of this dish: garlic and wine (vinegar). This delicacy, which is best served with warm rice or the typical Goan bread, Sannas, is a reflection of the diverse blend of cultures found in Goa.🍞🍠
