When it comes to experiencing the essence of Goan cuisine, few dishes capture the spirit of the region quite like Rechado Mackerel Fry. This delectable seafood delight, with its bold flavours and rich heritage, is a must-try for any food enthusiast venturing into the vibrant culinary landscape of Goa.
Originating from the coastal state of Goa, Rechado Mackerel Fry is a testament to the region's diverse cultural influences, blending Indian spices with Portuguese culinary techniques. The name "Rechado" is derived from the Portuguese word "recheado," meaning stuffed or filled, reflecting the dish's traditional preparation method of marinating the fish with a flavorful spice paste.
At the heart of Rechado Mackerel Fry lies the marinade a fragrant blend of spices that infuses the fish with a tantalizing medley of flavours. Red chillies, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and garlic are ground together to form a robust spice paste, which is then combined with vinegar and tamarind pulp to create a tangy and aromatic marinade. This fiery red masala not only adds depth to the dish but also gives it a distinctively vibrant hue.
