Goa has always been known for the rich (and lipsmacking) variety of cuisine served in its many restaurants, cafes, shacks and bars and pubs. Now, due to the pandemic, home-based Goan chefs, hailing from diverse backgrounds, have started their own ventures, concocting dishes of varying kinds. In the process, they have acquainted the state’s inhabitants with some unconventional cuisines. A few distilled their memories of home-made food into the scope of a menu, while others assimilated dishes from across the world into people’s platters.
