These Goan dishes might just be better than the beaches

    Share on

Goa’s vibrant cuisine is a delicious fusion of Indian and Portuguese flavors that every traveler must experience. Seafood takes center stage, especially the iconic Goan Fish Curry (Xitt Codi)—a tangy, coconut-rich delight served with rice, flavored by kokum or raw mango for brightness.

Spicy indulgences include Pork Vindaloo, a fiery vinegar- and garlic-marinated pork curry, adapted from the Portuguese carne de vinha d’alhos. Its equally bold cousin, Chicken or Pork Xacuti, features complex roasted spices, coconut, and poppy seed-rich gravy.

Street food enthusiasts will love Ros Omelette—a fluffy egg omelet smothered in spicy Goan gravy and served with local pao bread. For seafood lovers, Calamari Recheado and Prawn Balchão deliver robust, tangy flavors via chile-vinegar masalas.

Vegetarians aren’t left behind: try Khatkhate, a wholesome mixed-vegetable stew flavoured with local spice tirphal.

End your meal sweetly with Bebinca, Goa’s signature layered coconut-and-egg pudding, or Serradura, a Portuguese-inspired sawdust pudding.

Don’t miss sipping Feni, a potent local spirit made from cashew apples or coconut sap—often enjoyed neat or in cocktails.
