Download or read book Essential Goa Cookbook written by Maria Teresa Nenezes and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2000-10-14 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over two hundred recipes from one of the best coastal cuisines of India The spicy, succulent seafood of Goa is as famous as the golden beaches and lush landscape of this premier tourist destination of India. Traditionally, the Goan staple was fish curry and rice but under Portuguese influence there developed a distinctive cuisine that combined the flavours of Indian and European cooking, with local ingredients being used to approximate the authentic Portuguese taste. So fish and meat pies were baked with slit green chillies, assado or roast was cooked with cinnamon and peppercorns, pao or bread was fermented with toddy, and the famous baked bol was made with coconut and semolina. This innovated, largely non-vegetarian cuisine was offset by the traditional and no less sumptuous vegetarian creations from the Konkan coastland, rich with coconut and spice. The Penguin Essential Cookbooks are a pioneering attempt to keep alive the art of traditional Indian cooking. Each of the books is written by an expert chef who brings together the special recipes of a region or community along with a detailed introduction that describes the rituals and customs related to the eating and serving of food. A delicious mix of Portuguese and Konkani flavours, rich with coconut and spice. This cookbook showcases an entire range of Goan food, with special attention to fish, prawn, pork and chicken. The recipes include: Bebinca Goa Fish Curry Mutton Xacuti Oyster Patties Prawn Balchao Sorpotel Stuffed Crab Tiger Prawns in Fen Vindaloo.

It is a confluence of several cultures and identities, Indian and foreign, but with a compelling identities. Indian and foreign, but with a compelling identity all its own, so wondrously compelling identity all its own 400 years ago by its founders, Sultan Mohammed Quli. His invocation for the city was that "millions of men and women of all castes, creeds and religions (should) make it their abode, like fishes in the ocean". In the same spirit, he first named the city Bhagnagar, after his Hindu consort Bhagmati. Later, when the queen was conferred the title of Hyder Mahal, he renamed the city after her to Hyderabad. This book takes you on a short and somewhat sentimental journey to Hyderabad, allowing you to take in the city's charming history, experience its enchanting culture and its somewhat overdone social graces and above all, savour its exquisite cuisine. Like the city's heritage, culture and language, Hyderabadi food is a fusion of several inputs. It blends the class and refinement of the north with the sauce and spice of the south. The repertoire is rich, vast and seductive, both in vegetarian and non-vegetarian fare, and boasts of several varieties of kebabs and biryanis, and curries and dals. This is the first authentic magnum opus on Hyderabadi cuisine and is ornamented with several brilliant photographs. Pratibha Karan was born in Bombay and grew up in Bombay, Calcutta, Himachal Pradesh and Delhi. She did MA (Economics) from Lady Shri Ram college, Delhi University and then joined the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) in 1967. She is presently working in the Ministry of Industry in the Government of India. Exposed to various regional cuisines since early childhood, and also to Burmese cuisine because her parents had settled in Burma for over three decades, she developed an abiding predilection for food of various flavors and textures. Her marriage to Vijay Karan brought her face-to-face with Hyderabadi cuisine, to which she took an instant and passionate fondness.
