Pork Dishes

Pork is very popular in Goa and the Eastern states of India where it is made into a variety of tasty dishes ranging from Momos (steamed wontons) to rich and spicy Pork Sorpatel.

Goa Sausage Pulao
Hot and tangy Goa Sausage tastes delicious no matter what you combine it with! In this easy to cook pulao, it makes for a delicious, wholesome meal.

Goa Sausage Curry
This simple, hot and tangy curry is delicious! For me, it brings back happy memories of childhood family holidays to Goa. It is so easy to make and tastes great with plain boiled rice.

Spicy Goan Pork Pies
Goa was Portuguese territory until the 1970s so a lot of traditional Goan food still carries that influence. These spicy pies are technically Fusion Food as they combine the delicious flavors of a spicy Indian curry with the hearty and wholesome taste of pie pastry! Enjoy!

Pork Balchao
This fiery dish from Goa (in coastal western India) is almost like a pickle! Do as the Goans do and serve it with hot plain boiled rice.

Sorpatel (spicy Goan pork curry)
This popular Goan curry is traditionally made with pork meat and various other organs like the liver, intestines, heart and tongue. Traditional recipes even call for pig blood. While the purists may disagree on this point, those of you that shuddered at the above ingredients, can make Sorpatel with just the meat and liver and it would be just as tasty!

Pork Vindaloo
Hot and tangy, this dish is from the heart of beautiful Goa on India's western coast. Eat it with plain boiled rice or Jeera Rice and a leafy green salad.
