Origin Story
Goan cuisine is a melting pot of flavours, typically incorporating local, indigenous ingredients and traditions with influences from Portuguese cuisine and the introduction of chillies, which are native to Central and South America, but now play a pivotal role in Goan cuisine. The Portuguese also introduced vinegar, which lends itself perfectly to the tempering of the heat from chillies and, thereby, plays an important role in bringing out the piquant flavours of the chillies in some Goan dishes. Our Fiery Goan Curry Paste draws inspiration from the flavours and history of the lush Southern Indian state of Goa, tailored with a blend of spices, tomato, vinegar and, of course, chillies in all their glory.
