Goan Semolina 

In Goa, their take on semolina is something special! They start by roasting dry semolina in ghee until it's super crunchy and smells amazing. Then, they spice it up with mustard seeds, cumin seeds, green chilies, urad dal, and a bunch of other flavorful ingredients. To balance it out, they add grated coconut, a bit of sugar, and just the right amount of salt. After letting all those flavours mingle, it's ready to enjoy as is, maybe with a sprinkle of crunchy namkeen on top for that extra bite. It's a real treat, packed with Goan flair and deliciousness!

Goan Pancakes 

Goan pancakes are seriously to die for! Instead of using regular sugar, they stuff them with shredded coconut and jaggery. To make them, you mix all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, and milk—plus a pinch of salt to balance the flavors. After letting the batter rest, you pour it onto a hot pan and spread it out like you would for crepes. Then, sprinkle the sweet coconut and jaggery mixture on top and let it cook until it's golden and delicious. These Goan-style pancakes are perfect for tea time or anytime you want a uniquely tasty snack!

Goan Banana Filoz 

Goan-style banana filoz are made by blending jaggery and bananas into a smooth mix. Then you add milk, water, and a bit of all-purpose flour to make a smooth batter. Let that sit for a bit while you heat up some ghee on a hot tawa. Once the pan is ready, pour in the batter and let those filoz cook up nicely on both sides until they're golden brown. It's a tasty and wholesome breakfast that many people love to kick-start their day with!

Patal Bhaji 

In Goa, patal bhaji is a famous breakfast dish made from potatoes and mild spices. It's quick to prepare, taking less than an hour, yet it's incredibly special and bursting with flavor. To enjoy it, you'll find tender cubes of boiled potatoes cooked with onions and a blend of spices until fragrant and flavorful. It's seasoned with sugar, salt, turmeric powder, and other spices and simmered to create a thick, delicious gravy. Fresh coriander leaves are added for a burst of freshness before serving. Patal bhaji is typically served with poori or pav, making it a perfect choice for a hearty and satisfying breakfast in Goa!
