"The cuisine of Goa is mostly dominated by seafood which includes kingfish,Chonak ( sea Perch), pomfret, prawns and mackerel. Goa was a Portuguese colony prior to 1961, and hence, the Portuguese influenced most of our food.," said Chef Vidhya Naik from Avo's Kitchen, Goa.

The main course is filled with exotoc Goan curries including 'Frango A Cafreal', a delightful fusion introduced by Portuguese and African soldiers, and 'Ambadyachi Uddamethi', a festive preparation with urad dal, methi seeds and Indian hog plums that add a sour tinge to the curry.

Among desserts, Goa's famous 'Serradura', a Portuguese sawdust pudding, almost like a Portuguese cookie and cream dessert, promises to give a befitting end to the sumptuous meal.

The food goes off the table on Sunday.
