I thought I would help reduce the number of visitors to Goa and make sure there is enough kingfisher and honeybee this coming season and post this

Ingredients for an old local recipe' for Sorpatel

1kg Pork, 1/2 kg pork liver and heart,

1 cup of fresh pork blood (this should be mixed fresh in half a cup of vinegar and kept asid)-optional

1/4 bottle vinegar, 30 dried red chillies, 1 teaspoon cuminseeds 1 inch of turmeric, 4 cloves, 5 peppercorns, 1 inch cinnamon,

1 full pod of garlic, 2 inches ginger, 3 onions, 4 green chillies

If anybody wants the instructions I can post them too......

I love this bit though Sorpatel tastes better the next day. Tastes even better after 3 days and even later. It remains even for a week. Should be heated and cooled once a day till it lasts.

Anyone for Sorpatel )

and part of the instructions include the line Finally add the ***** but mash it very fine, stirring evenly, otherwise lumps will form......I'll leave the blank to the imagination lol

or by some magic spell

we could,as they have in goa

a bottle of the cajel

are the sweets on the photo weight watchers they look yummy, i will prob put a stone on in december. to hell with the diet

Yummy what a nice picture Irishcolleen and it brings back happy memories
Remember the white chocolate fountain at the Taj that was fantastic.
Do they still have those nights each Friday, maybe me and you and Polly50 should go along this November.

P.S. Yes no need to worry llindabrad, everything is Weight Watchers approved

linda dont worry you dont need to watch what you eat in December all you need to do is set a lettuce leaf on your plate and it wont look so bad
Gemma as far as I know the taj stoped doing the fridays nights ..but maybe someone else will know if they are still on and could let us know I would love to go again

I'm up for it, if its still on ladies.

Colleen and Polly we will need to make enquiries, might even look on the Taj website and see what is says. I cant wait days are getting closer

It was off last year, shame it was always a good night out, a bit of posh!! see how the other half live.

The Taj has a new German catering manager who feels he does not want the plebs in on Friday - more is the pity as we had some good nights there. Always took visitors there to impress them - have stayed at the Taj and it is a nice place to have a holiday for a special treat.
Souymans does a brilliant meal - he did his training at the Taj in Mumbai and it shows.
