- 2 Comments
Till we came to Chennai, my lunch preparations never started before 11 am, as both J and D used to be home for lunch. The whole scenario changed after coming here. My mornings start with a mad rush of preparing breakfast and lunch to be packed. Doing the chopping and grinding the previous evening saves me a lot of time. The only thing is that I have to make up my mind as to what dishes to prepare, a day prior 🙂 As usual, I wanted to prepare something different, yet easy. A bit of browsing helped me decide the dish of the day. Chicken Cafreal….a traditional Goan dish, which is not only tasty but also easy to prepare. The dish can be used as a starter as well as a side dish.
Whenever I want to prepare Goan style dishes, my to-go place is Goan Food Recipes. Whatever recipe I have prepared referring to this site has been a winner. Here comes the recipe 🙂
