Cafreal Paste Recipe – Simply Gorgeous Goan Paste

Cafreal Paste Recipe, Delicious Goan Cafreal Paste Indulgence

Cafreal Masala recipe is a really classic Goan curry paste recipe. It is one of the so few dishes made in India with a lovely green curry paste. The paste is a wonderful blend of aromatic spices that I am almost sure that your senses will jump with excitement whenever you use it.

Usually, cafreal paste is used to make Chicken Cafreal in Goa. However, you can also use it for vegetables like cauliflower, mushrooms, paneer or tofu, and even potatoes. There is no limit to how creative you can get with it.

Chicken cafreal is ready

Notes: I am told that most Goan curry pastes use coconut vinegar and that can be difficult to come by unless you are in Goa or in another coastal state. Consequently, I used white wine vinegar in the recipe since it was easier to find.

In case it doesn’t suit you substitute it with tamarind pulp or even lime juice. You can also add a few tablespoons of white rum to the paste, but that is very optional.
