Method

In a large bowl place the delicately spiced chopped Pork Chorizo & add in the turmeric, paprika, cinnamon, black pepper, vinegar & 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste—mix all the ingredients well together, so the sausages are coated nicely with the spices—set aside for about 30 mins or even overnight

Heat a large skillet or fry pan or wok, add oil & fry the potato cubes till golden brown—take out and set aside

In the same hot oil, add the onions & fry till translucent – add the tomatoes & green chillies along with the remaining ginger-garlic paste & some coriander/cilantro & fry nicely till the mix is smooth & pulpy

Add salt to taste & some stock or hot water, stirring well & bring the curry mix to a boil—

Now add in the chopped Chorizo sausage & potato cubes & cover & cook on low heat for abt 15-20 mins—if you want it saucier, add extra stock or water

Turn off the heat & serve piping hot with ‘ghee’ (clarified butter) rice, or Indian ’pau’’ which are best ‘fresh-from-the-baker’ bread rolls

Tips:

Goan Curry or even its similar yet chunkier variety Vindaloo, are traditionally enjoyed by scooping it up with the local bread roll called ‘pau’ which is Portuguese for ‘bread’

Goan Chorizo Sausage Curry is a common street food found almost everywhere on the streets of  sunny Goa & often accompanied by steamed  white rice drizzled with desi ghee or clarified butter
