Goa is also popular for seafood aficionados. It is not all about fish curry and rice, however. The fruits do Meir can't get fresher and the Goans treat them with respect, lightly poaching, grilling or baking their fish without drowning it in sauces and spices and including clams, squid, crabs, lobster and prawns regularly in their meals. On the other hand, if spice and serious meat is what you want, you've come to the right place again - the Portuguese-influenced vindaloos, sports, Richards beaches and stalwarts of Goan catholic kitchens are basically beef and pork centric, redolent of toddy-based vinegar and worthy challenges for the most chili seasoned palates. The Hindu cuisine (xacutis, shakes, ambotiks, forgets) is mostly vegetarian but when meat based uses chicken and lamb and features plenty of coconut milk, tamarind and Kokum for tang. The curries are normally eaten with Goan red rice, poi, a leavened Goan bread or sauna, steamed crescent shaped dumplings. Dessert is always bebinca, the layered sweet pancake that uses eggs, flour, butter, sugar and coconut milk in its batter and takes eight hours to make or dodhol, a heady combination of coconut milk and jiggery reduced over a slow fire until thick and creamy.
The Portuguese ruled "Golden Goa' their eastern capital city that once rivaled Lisbon in its magnificence, for almost 400 years, executive mass conversions to Christianity at the point of a sword, dotting its paddy fields with white washed churches, defending its coastline from powerful forts, infusing its food with exotic flavors from across the seas and giving this strip of India a 'creole' character all of its own. But throughout this long occupation, a small percentage of the local Hindus resisted the conversions, building their temples, worshiping their gods and making certain Hindu. Goa was as alive as the Christian one. Small wonder then, that most of the must-sees in the state comprise places of worship. But if monuments and places of worship don't you, never fear. There is plenty to do in Goa for the nature enthusiast as well.
