Trivia
[Hardcore] The very identity of 'Goan Cuisine' fusing Portuguese food and Indian spices. While Pork Vindaloo made with regular vinegar becomes 'just sour pork curry', using coconut vinegar births 'sweetness/richness welling from the depths', sublimating into a totally different cheat condiment.
Eating tips & etiquette
