Along the country's western coast lies the luscious paradise of the Konkan region, characterized by its immense vegetation that forms a dense blanket over the Earth's surface. Goa is an integral part of the Konkan that is bound by three distinct states.
Among the countless hidden gems that arise from the Konkan, Patoleo is the most tempting sweet treasure. Read ahead, to discover the roots of Goa's festival-favorite delicacy, how it found its way within the coastal heaven, its preparation, and when it is traditionally consumed by fellow Goans.
