Goan Cuisine - Back in Stock
Goan Cuisine has been a special import of ours for some time. Produced by a Goan family living in Perth, Western Australia, the product range is amazing. Wonderful any time as very special condiments, Goan Cuisine products are particularly welcome during the summer. They will spice up and accompany any number of dishes. There are three new productions which we have for the first time. Let me begin with these.
Pronounced either ka-soon-di or ka-sound-di, it is not strictly a Goan pickle, but found in the coastal cuisines of India. Its flavor base is mustard seed, either whole or crushed. TOMATO kasaundi is made from fresh red and orange skinned tomatoes, cooked with garlic, ginger, and hot oil roasted mustard seed. It has a robust savory bite, balanced between sweet and sour. EGGPLANT kasaundi is made from hand cut eggplant, has a smokey/meaty scent, and is cooked with tomatoes, vinegar, and sugar, with a dominant fenugreek tone.
Chutney is from the Hindi “chatni,” meaning to chew or bite. The ingredients are finely chopped and sweetened with some form of sugar or raisins. Mango Lime chutney is made from fresh mangoes and preserved limes with fresh ginger. It is a sweet, fruity chutney with a tart finish. The mango pieces are still visible.
