Hi Rene Recently I have been filming in Portugal and Goa to trace the Portuguese route and how much that initial exploration has changed the world. We will have fifteen of Britains leading chefs for dinner on the 24th of August giving a feedback on the menu and the food and I will be sharing some facts about the great Goan culinary traditions. The documentary will be screened in Cannes on the 5th of September and we need some good luck to get it picked up by a great broadcaster and them wanting it to go global.

MEXILHAO FRITO AMBOTIK*** Mussels marinated in Goan red masala, rolled in semolina, fried and served with a hot sour sauce known as AMBOTIK. Or FEIJOADA Pronounced Fay JO Aad this represents diced spicy sausages cooked with butter beans in a rich masala with diced peppers, red onion tomato, served with toasted ciabatta. (The Goan bread normally served would be Poi which is similar) Or OYEMIO ani CHONAY XEC-XEC MISSAL Mushrooms and chickpeas tossed in the classical Xacutti masala with chopped chili and fresh coriander, served topped with Shaev Gaanthia (variation of Bombay Mix) and soft roll. (Xacutti is explained below and is repeated on the menu this time in a different form) In Goa during the monsoons this preparation abounds as several spieces of wild mushrooms abound. Snails are also a delicacy MAINS BOLINHAS de CAMARAO COM MOLHO de BALCHAO Crushed potato cakes filled with diced prawns tossed with chopped shallot, garlic, ginger and chili, served on a bed of Balchao masala. (BALCHAO is a classic Shrimp pickle in Goa. The base preparation which can be prepared as a gravy is cooked painstakingly over several hours. Ours takes approximately twelve hours to prepare, though domestically on a traditional fire it could be spread over two days.) Or FRANGO NO ESPETO CAFREAL A'LA ZAMBEZIANA CAFREAL originally brought by the Portuguese from Mozambique and a few variations have developed over the years. Ours is a blend of the two! Leg of Corn Fed Free Range chicken marinated the Goan way with freshly ground spices and condiments, chargrilled in the tandoor served with Goan Coconut Curry , slices of grilled tomato sliced fried potato with salad. XACUTTI de CORDEIRO The king of curries if ever there was one and something, restaurant kitchens would love to avoid making. Over twenty-one ingredients go into the making of this great curry painstakingly and individually roasted prior to being pureed and made into the curry we know.

A few weeks back, we in London celebrated 45 years service of our Goan Association, the Global Goan Convention and rounding off the week, a spectacular Goan festival. To celebrate this huge event in the Goan calendar, we at Dos Santos Foods who have served the Goan community in the UK for many years had as our centre piece a Goan style Hog roast which provided a delicious sandwich filling together with our Goa sausage stuffing. For the World Goa day celebrations we will be catering at the official UK event at The Friars Aylesford Kent on 27 August. At our stall, we will have our ever popular Goa Sausages, together with our newly launched Top Table Goan Pickles including our Prawn Balchao. Also in our line up will be our seasonable Goan Sweets including Bebinca, Kormolas, Bolinhas, Doce and Nankatais. World Goa day would not be complete unless we had an old traditional favourite, Sorpotel with Sannas and our recent creation, Goa sausage samosas. All our Goan foods are made in the UK to an EEC standard using modern technology and respecting the environment. Wishing all Goans the world over a very special World Goa Day.
