What your outing looks like

Bicholim's food legacy isn't really about food technique, it is about historical continuity. The very reason cooks cook the way they do is because the Portuguese couldn't reach far enough to interrupt the tradition. The masala survived because the community survived. It is worth mentioning that the cook is almost invisible, it is the ingredients that speak. The dining plan: Dine with us at a village khopp (it takes about 30-50 minutes from north Goa), and let the season do the talking. No menu, just what's fresh, fermented, served at a private table. Sittings: 12:30–2:30 PM or 7:00–9:00 PM While the menu is typically fresh off the early morning, kaki's would be serving seasonal refreshers & bites, gravies with polle - local variety soaked and cooked rice-rotis and main spreads, local variety of rice and hoomann - the fabled Goan curry. Closing brew of lemongrass and spice — our take on a reset or nightcap. You leave with a take-home prep by the kakis. What's included: Seasonal bites, kakis dining spread, refreshers and a takeaway. Not included: Transport, and can be arranged if required, additionally.
