    Frango à Cafreal is a spicy chicken preparation consumed widely in the Indian state of Goa. The preparation originated from the Portuguese colonies in the African continent.It was introduced into the Goan cuisine by the Portuguese and the African soldiers serving under the Portuguese.
    The generic preparation involves green chillies, fresh coriander leaves, onion, garlic, ginger, cinnamon, pepper, chilli, mace, clove powder and lime juice or vinegar. Chicken Cafreal is always made from whole chicken legs, flavoured with the spices and herbs mentioned and then shallow fried. Chicken Cafreal is usually accompanied by potato wedges and lime wedges. It is a popular dish in the bars and taverns of the state.
    It is suspected that the dish originated in the Portuguese colonies in Africa, most likely in ʽMozambiqueʼ. "À Cafreal" means "in the way of the Cafres" and cafre was the designation of the inhabitants of Cafraria, the region of Southern Africa inhabited by non-Muslim peoples (compare English kafir). According to this hypothesis, the cafreal chicken derives from the piri-piri chicken typical of those places. In many contexts and locations in the world, chicken piri-piri and chicken cafreal designate the same dish, but in Goa they are two very different things, even in color, since the first is red

    Wanna prepare this for my husband. One of the best chicken recipes I’ve ever seen. I’m sure he’s going to love it. Also wanna say the way you present your dishes and your mannerisms are very refined.

    The masala also needs some vinegar, dark rum and fennel seeds while grinding. So fry onion rings along with the potato for more flavour

    Cafreal uses poppy seeds as a thickener. I make the exact same recipe with the addition of poppy seeds and it really makes a difference to the flavour! Great recipe :)

    • @sachinrandive

      Hi Pooja, When do you add the poppy seeds?

    • @poojar8568
      @poojar8568 3 роки тому +6

      @@sachinrandive Hey Sachin, I usually add about 1 large tablespoon of poppy seeds (ground into a smooth paste) into the marinade along with the other ingredients. I feel like it binds the marinade together very nicely. The other alternative is to add cashew paste while it's cooking (after the chicken starts releasing water). Hope this helps! :)
