||THE BEST 10 GOA DISHES YOU MUST TRY|| (try these Goan dishes the next time you visit GOA😋)

The small coastal state is nestled between forests and hills in the east and a rich and bountiful coast in the west. Nestled in the western ghats it has access to an abundance of spices and the sea makes it easily accessible for trade. This put Goa on the world trade map and eventually led to Portuguese colonization until the late 1940s.

Goa's cuisine is influenced by the sea and its past rulers resulting in an interesting mix of ingredients cooking techniques and flavour combinations.

The Portuguese introduced chillies to India and there began a love story that has endured for centuries. With an abundance of coconut seafood fresh herbs vinegar and rice the cuisine is a melting pot of a multitude of flavours. It is a cuisine that is intriguingly different from all other Indian cuisine perhaps because of the European feel and flavour of some dishes perhaps because of the sometimes generous addition of toddy and feni.
