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
Right really
Shut
Vinegar is not necessary.. Some like some don't like
Wonderful recipe...I've made this at least 5 times already. The first time I used the 12 peppers...!! Wayyy too spicy, I use just 3 - 4 now, and it is absolutely perfecto! Sooo tasty...thank you chef! :)
I tried this today, and my 7 year old gone crazy about it. I'll have to prepare it again tomorrow. Thank you for this gem, thank you very much 👍
How many chilles you added for kids in case??
Pet kharab nh hua 7yr old ka ... loose motions ? ...
I am goan and thanks chef for sharing goan recepie... I like cafreal from 2 places in Goa. In north it's none other than Florentine that's in saligao and in south the wild west.... Curchorem.
check out the taste of Sai Shiv resraurant at Palolem.
Hate from goa 🤣❤️
Honestly speaking .. if Varun is not cooking in the video, i just switch to different recipe video of get curied where Varun is cooking. Man the way you speak in the entire video i just love it.. along with those awesome background music ❤️
This is 💯 percent true...
I agree but I like Smita too
S,it's true
I so agree with you ,Varun is simply too good, way he speaks adds extra flavour to the recipe

It turned out awssssssome.. Vow.. Such a simple and perfect recipe with a wonderfull flavour..
Varunji,......made chicken cafreal with your recipe
and it turned out yummy......daughter loved it......Thank you so much
HONESTLY SPEAKING I TRIED YOUR METHOD OF COOKING CHICKEN CAFREAL IT TASTE VERY NICE ALL MY FRIEND'S LIKED IT.
THANK YOU GOD BLESS YOU.
I made this today, thank you, my friends are crazy...my mom loved it......Viva la Goan cuisine
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 :)
Hi Pooja, When do you add the poppy seeds?
@@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! :)
Great tip and thank you
If anyone wants to hav the best cafreal ever visit Florentine Restaurant, Saligao, Goa.
Its finger licking good'
Do giv it a try
- Goan
Florentine restaurant cafreal 😋😋
Yussss
True its near my house only
And south side... The wild west.... Curchorem.. My favorite
M stuck in UAE n miss my Goa. N yes Florentine is the best
Whenever i see "The bombay chef" before d video i m rest assured that it will b really a good recipe.
Varun's smile and expression are more real than cafreal.. 🤣🤣 one of my Fev.. thank you Bombay Chef..
I love Indian food!! Glad I found this channel!!
Being Goan chicken cafreal was not the first thing on my menu. after watching this i can't wait to eat it.
The way Chef explains and narrates :)
It was excellent..l added 1 onion, 2 teaspoons of cashew and coconut milk...for a konkani feel....😊😋
Chef u really are the best.. I always makes food watching ur videos and they all taste really very good thank you...
Vow....what a final touch...looks supreme...got to try this....
Excellent reciepe
Tried this yesterday and it turned out awesome, the spices were so perfect and balanced that it tastes great. Thank you for the dish.
Wow.. Just amazing.. Green chillies with lemon pepper.. Awsome combination
He is so calm and smiling all the time.. ☺️
Varun, you made this dish so much tempting..omg..it's irresistible.
I will definitely give this a try! Btw, it is nice to see that you use all the ingredients without creating unnecessary waste. These days in cooking shows, the chefs are more into wasting the food while transferring from one vessel (eg. Mixer/ psn etc) to another..! Best wishes! :)
Very very tasty it came and I did this masala with Mushroom and Theerthar as well... Thank U so much 😀😀
Oh man! We have been in Goa for a month now and haven't tried this local specialty! But seeing how easy it is, I think instead of going out to a restaurant, we will try it at home!
Thanks for the good video! You are awesome!
