Best of Goan Cooking

Goan cuisine is a unique intermingling of Arabian, Portuguese & native cultures in southern India. A cuisine in which the hot, sour & spicy flavors mingle in delicate perfection; in which fresh coconut comes into its own, & fish is cooked in myriad marvelous methods. This collection of the finest Goan recipes starts with exotic Goan cocktails & appetizers & moves on to savor fish, poultry & meats. Some vegetarian preparations -- Feijoada, breadfruit curry, sprouted lentil curry -- are for accompaniments. Also, pickles & chutneys made with mangoes, prawns, lemons, & chilies. Delicious desserts finish the meal. Also tea-time snacks & savories -- tarts, cakes, cookies, macaroons & halwas.
