Goa Food - Pork Vindaloo

Goa Food: Goa has imbibed the culture of Asia and Europe in many ways. Goa bordering on the north of Karnataka state in India, has deep moorings of multi ethnic culture. West coast Indian states use plenty of fish and sea food in their diet. They use milk extracted from coconut to flavor their recipes. As is common with most of the south Indian recipes, they tend to use a wide variety of spices grown in this part.


The most popular food amongst the Goans are Pork Vindaloo, Prawn Xacuti and Goan Fish curry. Vindaloo is typical of the food from the west coast of India - an amalgamation of the East and the West. The name Vindaloo probably is derived from carne de vinho e alhos - meat laced with vinegar and garlic. Pork Vindaloo is made of pork cubes spiced with the choicest spices grown in the western ghats, cooked slowly over medium heat. The slow cooking process enables the pork to assimilate the essence of the spices.
