SEAFOOD: Try it at home?
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • If you've got a taste for Goan cuisine...why not try it yourself when you get home...

    Goan Prawn Curry

    Preparation time: 15 minutes
    Cooking time: 20 minutes

    Serves 4

    Ingredients
    50ml vegetable oil
    1 large onion, thinly sliced
    2 tbsp chopped fresh ginger
    2 green chillies, finely chopped
    Pinch of ground turmeric
    1 tsp ground coriander
    1 tsp ground cumin
    1 tsp chilli powder
    60ml coconut cream
    2 tbsp fresh, sieved tamarind
    160ml coconut milk
    600g large, raw tiger prawn tails
    Salt

    Instructions
    Heat the oil in a thick-bottomed pan over a medium heat. Add the sliced onion, and fry for 10 minutes until soft. Add the ginger and green chilli and fry for 1 minute. Add the turmeric, coriander, cumin and chilli powder. Mix well. Add the coconut cream and cook until the oil separates out from the mix.

    Add the tamarind and coconut milk and bring the sauce to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, shell the prawns (leaving their tails on, if you like) and remove the dark digestive cords. Wash the prawns in cold water and drain them thoroughly.

    Drop the prawns into the sauce, add salt to taste and gently simmer until the prawns are cooked - about 5 minutes. The sauce should be of pouring consistency. Garnish, if you like, with shredded spring onion, and serve with rice.

    Enjoy!

    SEAFOOD: A classic seafood restaurant at Calangute
  • Tip Rating:
  • Recommendable to visit, specially after seeing first the sunset from the beach. Good ratio of price/quality. Located just to the left from main beach entrance of Calangute. The lobsters of Souza Lobo are a classic in Goan restaurant listings. We ate garlic butter lobster, lobster masala and chili pwawns, which were delicious. Both lobsters (590 rp each) were well-prepared and tasty, but maybe they had waited us a little too long before or after the visit on the grill or the staff has bad day. Anyway, both the lobster sauces were täyteläisiä and detailed. I have eaten better lobsters but also worse lobsters more often than in Souza Lobo. Plus for the naans.

    Menu of Souza Lobo is mid-ranged priced: main courses varies from 70 to 110 rps (March 2003).

    SEAFOOD: Joseph can cook anything
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • The Rovers Return(badly named) is a beach shack but the food compares with a quality reataurant. Joseph the cook can cook local or european to a high standard. All food is freshly cooked and delicious and although the surroundings are simple the food makes up for it.
    We have tried many reastaurants but still return to the rovers (I wish he would change the name)

    His tiger prawns ,sea food and fresh fish are sensational and a banana pancake to finish if you have room..

    SEAFOOD: Most popular eating house in Calangute
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • The most popular beach in Goa is Calangute beach, and its most popular eating house – Souza Lobo. Established in 1932, this restaurant dwarfed by other eating houses, is located linearly where the beach ends with three rows of tables set at two levels with each table commanding a breath-taking view of the beach.

    The only wall along the far side is decorated with paintings of fisherwomen in mis-matching floral blouses and skirts; the ceiling with bamboo mats and all lights pointing upwards giving the whole restaurant a serene atmosphere. There is live music with a different band playing every night.

    Liquor and fish take prime space on the menu and pork is also available. Most of the dishes are made to suit western tastes, but spicy preparations are available on request. Lobster is expensive at Rs.1500, but otherwise most of the dishes are in the range of Rs.180 to Rs.200.

    For starters, mixed sea food grill at Rs.500 is exquisite, consisting of grilled crabs, king prawns, squid, oysters and fillet of chonak (red snapper). Aromatic pork sorpotel is popular among the western visitors. Vinegar, toddy and rum are used liberally in most of the preparations (though not all together in the same dish).

    The main dishes of fish are cafreal, vindaloo or plain fish masala and are best eaten with the local pao (bread). These are spicy and aromatic preparations and one generous portion is sufficient for two.

    Prawns or Fish fry is available either as rava-fried or masala-fried. Both are equally good with the masala consisting of ground spices in vinegar. Most of the dishes are dressed with salads, so there is no need to order green salads.

    The regular Goan desserts like Bebinca and Dodol are available; try the Crepe Sousa Lobo – its ice cream rolled with a sprinkling of grated coconut dust topped with chocolate. Bebinca is a egg and coconut milk preparation, while Dodol is a preparation made of coconut jaggery.

    SEAFOOD: Lobsters
  • Tip Rating:
  • We were sat at a restaurant on the beach one day having a cold beer and we saw some fishermen coming up from the beach with the days catch and we asked to see what they had which was lobsters and we asked if we could buy a large one off them and 20 minute's later we were eating it with a thermador sauce with fresh vegtables which was cooked at the restaurant for $5.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • With almost everything under the sun on sale and the excitement of frenetic bargaining, one can really work up an appetite. So if you're feeling hungry let the traveller in you explore the myriad options at Ingo’s.

    On offer is a wide range of international cuisine from Greek, British and authentic Italian pasta and pizzas. Try out diff cuisines or savour the best Japanese Sushi in India. A must try is the delectable varieties of kebabs, tandoori chicken and the good old Goan cuisine.

    SEAFOOD: The Banyan Tree
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Set in the gardens of the Taj Holiday Village, in the shade of a 300-year-old banyan tree and surrounded by a shimmering fish pond, this restaurant serves superb Thai food, such as coconut seafood soup and green papaya salad. The seafood dishes use fresh local fish and shellfish: try the poo gathi, river crabmeat in a spicy curry sauce. Every year, the restaurant brings in a chef from Thailand to refresh its menu.
