What Will You Learn?

Cooking starts with classic croquettes a staple at any special occasion in Goa. There is also a simple but delicious starter in the Goan Chilli Chicken. Serve this versatile dish alone as a starter or combined with rice, salad or wraps to make a satisfying and tasty main course. The curries include two Goan classics. First up is the signature Goan Fish Curry which is easily Goan’s most famed dish. This is followed with the hearty Chicken Xacuti which has hints of the regions Portuguese influence in its flavoursome masala.

This class is as hands on as possible so you will have your own cooking station and get to prepare each dish. Please note that our chefs will cook the naan breads due to the training needed to use the tandoor oven. Instructions on how to prepare breads at home will be provided.
