Velha (Old) Goa is a historically significant part of Goa where the Adil Shahis of Bijapur had their capital. As the Goan Muslim community evolved, their cuisine also became sophisticated, as multiple culinary streams intermingled to create a distinct, unique, Goan style. Our recipe has been handed down generations within the Muslim community originally from Velha Goa, and brings out the richness of mutton curries that have graced homes, family occasions, and festivals for hundreds of years.
