Goan Sausage/ Choriz potato chops.
Variations: 1) One with an egg wash and crumb coated.
2) With semolina / Rava coated.
A Saturday afternoon delight. Choose your poison to go along with it.

METHOD:

I boil the Goan sausages till cooked.
Drain out the oil and fry lots of onions in the leftover till translucent. (We can’t let the oil go to waste now, can we?)
Give the sausages a slight whirr in the processor / mixer.
Add the onion, sausages, some green chillies and fresh coriander.
The mix has to be relatively dry and no oil.
Then I take some potato and a bit of sausages and make the form.
Refrigerate it till firm. Dip it in egg and breadcrumbs. Refrigerate again and then fry.
Alternatively u can use rava/ semolina instead of egg and bread crumbs.
Hope u get a chance to try it out.

Prawn and Ladyfinger with Raw Mango curry.
This recipe is born out of Pure Love and memories.

It reminds me of my grandmother and me sitting on her lap when I was around 4 and helping her grind the masala on the big round stone. All this is born out of those beautiful memories.
