Traditional Goan Cooking Class
- Duration
- 4 hours including the meal
- Where
- A family home in south Goa
- Ideal for
- Anyone who cooks, and anyone who wants to understand why Goan food tastes the way it does
Goan cooking is built on two or three ground masalas, and once you can make those the rest follows. The class starts with the stone and the roasting, which is the part that no recipe conveys.
You cook a fish curry rice, a chicken or vegetable xacuti and a sweet, then sit down and eat it. Recipes go home with you in a form that works with the ingredients you can actually buy.
Highlights
- Masala roasted and ground on the stone
- Fish curry rice, xacuti and a Goan sweet
- Eaten with the family that taught you
- Recipes adapted to ingredients you can buy at home
