Suggested Recipes

Welcome to our recipe page. Here you will find both authentic, traditional recipes that are suggested by the various women who create our masalas and also recipes for dishes that are commonly made with our masalas. They represent classic Goan dishes that are made every day in traditional Goan households, and have stood the test of time; their recipes and their methods passed down generations through their communities and their families. There are also recipes suggested by home cooks and professional chefs who have experimented with our masalas. The variations you can do using these recipes as a base is numerous and we encourage you to experiment and create your own variations. Your imagination is the only limit. 

Drawn from the Hindu, Catholic, Muslim, and tribal communities of Goa, the traditional dishes also carry the flavour of the localities from which the masalas originate. Some of them will be familiar to enthusiasts of Goan fare, and some of them, not so familiar. But all of them are part of the vast repertoire of classic, eclectic and experimental cuisine of Goa that the whole world has come to love. Come, enjoy the flavours and aromas of Goan cuisine. Please upload your recipes with our masalas and we’ll publish them under your name.
