Origin and description
" BECAUSE YOUR BEEF TASTES BETTER WITH SPICES FROM GOA ".
This spicy curry combines the traditional flavors of Goa, a region in India known for its diverse and rich cuisine. The blend of cardamom, fennel, coriander seeds, coriander leaves, turmeric, ginger, chili, pepper, cumin, cloves, nutmeg, and Ceylon cinnamon creates a warm, complex spiciness that pairs perfectly with meat dishes. The fruity notes of mango, pineapple, or papaya add an exotic balance to the curry.
Taste and aroma
Spicy and aromatic, with a warm depth from the cinnamon and cloves and a subtle sweetness from the fruit. A touch of spice rounds off the dish.
Application
Brown your choice of meat in a large pot with ginger, onions, and garlic paste (or finely chopped garlic cloves). Add a teaspoon of curry powder per person and toast it briefly to release its aromas. Pour in enough broth to cover the meat and simmer until the meat is almost tender. Add diced fruit such as mango, pineapple, or papaya and simmer for another 10 minutes. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve with a lemon wedge.
Interesting facts
Goa's cuisine is heavily influenced by the Portuguese colonial era – here, Indian spices blend with European influences. Typical dishes include robust curries with coconut milk and fruity notes. Goa beef curry, in particular, is internationally renowned and often served as a festive dish. The combination of meat and fruit is considered in Goa to symbolize the balance between heat, sweetness, and spice.
