Goan Vegetarian Dishes
Goan cuisine is primarily seafood-based; however, some Goans prefer vegetarian food on certain days of the week. Curries are made with Lentils, Legumes and Beans, which are prepared in the same manner as non-vegetarian recipes. Vegetables like raw Jackfruit, Eggplant, and Cauliflower are made with chilies and grated coconut.
