Delicious. Delectable. Delightful.
Have you ever been on a delightful, delicious and
delectable travel? Does your wanderlust look for places which are both idyllic
and interesting? I travel to quench my thirst for discovery of all things great
and small which covers a kaleidoscope of the facets of life. One of the most
relaxing trips I have gone on was to Goa, a small but laid-back coastal region
on the West Coast of India.
Goa offers an incredible array of places to see with
waterfalls, caves, churches, rock art, forts and the most amazing beaches
amongst other intriguing sights. The culinary expertise of Goa never fails to
amaze me and my taste buds were all agog with excitement for a repertoire of
delicious entertainment. With any amount of eateries spread all over the place,
Goan cuisine displays a variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes which
evolve over pork, chicken, mutton and seafood. I went on a never-ending journey
of delight and explored every nuance of this delectable travel. With the
strains of an experienced chef and a gourmet running through every pore, I have
tried my hand at re-creating myriad dishes, but one of the most breathtaking,
tasty and awesome dishes which I experienced at the emerald land of Goa was the
Goan Mutton Curry.
