Lobster Peri Peri
The Lobster Peri Peri is a dish that you should try while staying at the resort. Originating in Mozambique, the unique Peri Peri sauce was brought to Goa by the Portuguese. And the Portuguese influence reflects in the style of cooking. The lobster is marinated in the hot Peri-Peri sauce and cooked to perfection.
Chicken Xacuti
Pronounced as Sha-cu-ti, Chicken Xacuti is one of Goa’s most popular dishes. It is made using poppy seeds, coconut, and Kashmiri red chillies as its main ingredients. Spicy and full of flavour this dish too has strong Portuguese influences.
Pork Vindaloo
Pork Vindaloo is a Goan favourite where the ‘vin’ in Vindaloo means vinegar and ‘ahlo’ or ‘aloo’ means garlic. It is cooked using a thick red paste of red chillies, ginger, garlic and cumin ground using vinegar. The different blend of flavours will leave you wanting more.
Khatkhate/ Vegetable Stew
Khatkhate is a special dish served on special occasions among the Goan Hindus. This dish is traditionally prepared using a minimum of 5 vegetables. Cooked without oil, this vegetable stew is very healthy and nutritious as it is made with different vegetables.
Bebinka
Layered carefully to perfection, Bebinka is a traditional Goan sweet that is specially prepared during Christmas and New Year. It is made with plain flour, coconut milk, egg yolks and sugar or jaggery. The traditional Bebinka has anywhere between 7 to 16 layers. Goa is not only famous for food but also for scenic places to visit in Goa like Chapora Fort, Varca beach and Calungute beach.
