Goan Feast

Set the mood
Start with the look of the party. Ask your friends to dress up in beach style, in keeping with Goas coastline. Goans are usually casually dressed. So, the usual colourful shirts and shorts work well here. Girls can opt for floaty skirts as well.

Goans also love their meet, including pork and beef dishes. If you have no religious restrictions, consider including these all. 

Start with a starter of crab cakes or fish fry. For the main course you must have the famous Goan fish curry. Akin to comfort food, the fish curry is Goan fast food. For meat dishes, choose from vindaloo, sorpotel or roast pork. If beef is not taboo, try a Goan roast beef. ALternatively, you can also try chicken or crab xacuti. Make sure there is bhaji as well as dal included for the vegetarians.   For dinner try the multi-layered and delicious Bebinca.
