The Island Culinary Experience at Chorao
A Goan Island Feast
Goa
“Chorao Island boasts a rich culinary heritage shaped by diverse cultural influences. Once a Portuguese colony, the island adopted European ingredients like bread, vinegar, and cured meats, blending them with local flavours such as coconut, tamarind, and fresh seafood. Traditional Catholic dishes like samarachi koddi (a dried prawn curry) and pork vindaloo coexist with Goan Hindu delicacies like patal bhaji (gram flour curry). In the 16th century, it was renowned for producing a smooth-textured cheese cherished locally and exported as far as Macau. Chorao’s rich biodiversity has also contributed to its cuisine, with locals foraging for wild greens and river fish. The island’s food culture remains a testament to its layered heritage.”
