Goan Recheado Masala
- Details

Usually when we buy fish, I fry it the traditional Kerala Style. But this time, I had already made up my mind on trying the ‘Goan Style’. I had heard a lot about the Recheado Masala. As usual, I searched my favourite blog, Goan Food Recipes. I was under the impression that it would take a long time to prepare this. It turned out that all I had to do was, to assemble all the ingredients and grind. Voila !! The Masala was ready 🙂
I halved the recipe and tweaked it a bit to suit my liking. I used Byadgi Chillies instead of Kashmiri Chillies, as they too are less hot and imparts a wonderful,fiery red colour. This masala can be used to prepare Non vegetarian as well as vegetarian recipes.
