What is Goan Curry?
We have been hooked on this curry since we had this curry for the first time in Goa. We had this amazing time there relaxing and also trying the different flavours of Goan cuisine.
One of those dishes was Goan Prawn Curry. After we came home, I thought of creating a vegetarian version of this curry. It was a wonderful change of flavours for us, and we totally loved it.
This curry is made from a freshly roasted and ground spice mix, as well as coconut milk. This is one of the most flavorful spice mixes which will make you drool. Furthermore, I love how easy and versatile it is. You can use any vegetable you like to give it your own touch.
Ingredients Needed for Making Goan Veg Curry-
You need dry Kashmiri red chilli, garlic cloves, black peppers, whole coriander seeds, tamarind paste, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, grated/flakes of coconut, as well as coconut milk. We will also need curry leaves, onions, tomatoes, ginger, oil, and salt.
What Type of Vegetables are You Using for Goan Veg Curry?
Cauliflower, carrots, green beans, peas, potatoes, and onions are a few of the vegetables which you use for making this curry.
However, if you want to use just one vegetable like cauliflower you can still make this curry flavorful. The flavour profile comes from the gravy, which makes any vegetable shine.
Can You Make Goan Curry Powder in Advance?
Yes; you can make this curry powder in advance and use it for around 2 months. It will be fresh if kept in an airtight container in the fridge/freezer. You can make not only Veg but also Non-Veg types of curries with this curry paste/powder.
