Some of the world's most tasty cuisines come from India, just look at the shelves in any supermarket and the queues outside the Indian restaurants on a Friday night. ingredients that were once sold in only the Indian shops are now readily available on the shops this change in lifestyle is primarily due to tourism. This is not surprising as the food is prepared with pleasure and keen attention is paid to detail. However it is often difficult to recreate the authentic taste in your own kitchen. After all no chef would want to expose their trade secrets which give their dish an extra kick. However in this section I have chosen a variety of goan dishes with detailed recipes so u can recreate the dishes at home and impress all your friends with the authentic taste.

Although the traditional way of cooking may not be practical as it is often time consuming. This does not serve a problem for the goan people who believe the nicer the dish the longer it takes to produce. The preparation of grinding and marinating is a long process but goans take satisfaction in cooking food not only eating it.

Prepare Beef Streaks

1 kg beef
2 tsps. Salt
2 tsps freshly ground pepper
1 tbsp. Ginger -garlic paste
2 tbsps. Vinegar
4 tbsps. Oil
4 large potatoes (sliced)

Cut the beef into four, ¼ inch thick slices. Flatten them well with a tenderizer. Mix the next 4 ingredients to a paste and apply on either side of the steaks. Pound them once again and set aside in a cool place for 4 or 5 hours.

Take a heavy pan, or a karai, heat it, add 1 tablespoon oil and fry one steak on high heat for 3 minutes. Turn it and fry the other side for another 3 minutes. Repeat this with the remaining steaks. Keep the steaks in a warm pan, covered.

To the juices that are left or dried in the pan, ad half a teaspoon of flour mixed in a little water. Add salt, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, bring to a boil and pour over the streaks before serving. Add salt to the potatoes slices and fry them. Fry the eggs too. Each steak should be served with fried potatoes and an egg.
