As we look forward to our Curry Chronicles Curated Experience in Goa, here are three great curry recipes to try on your visit to the Pearl of the Orient – ranging from the mild to the fiery!
Mild Goan Fish Curry
Begin your Goan curry exploration with this gentle yet flavoursome dish. Fresh fish fillets are simmered in a creamy coconut milk base, infused with turmeric, coriander, and mild green chilies. The addition of tamarind paste imparts a tangy twist – perfect for those who prefer subtle heat.
Medium Goan Prawn Balchão
This medium-spiced curry centres on succulent prawns, which are cooked in a tangy tomato-vinegar sauce, blended with red chilies, garlic, ginger, and spices like cumin and mustard seeds to give it a robust flavour. Serve with steamed jasmine rice to balance out the heat and the tang.
Hot Goan Pork Vindaloo
For the Teflon tongued, the fiery Goan Vindaloo is a must-try. Traditionally made with pork, this curry is infused with a potent mix of red chilies (khola if you can find them though Thai red chillis impart a powerful kick!), garlic, and vinegar. The intense heat is beautifully offset by aromatic spices like cloves and cinnamon, creating a dish that’s both spicy and deeply flavourful.
