Tips & Secrets

  • Using toddy vinegar is the secret to achieving the authentic and sharp Goan flavor profile.
  • Deep incisions are crucial; they ensure the thick green marinade flavors the chicken right to the bone.
  • Do not skip the potato wedges; they absorb the flavorful juices from the pan and taste incredible.
  • Slow-frying on medium heat ensures the exterior doesn't burn before the chicken is cooked through.
