Goan Recheado Masala Recipe

Recheado masala is used stuffing fish like Bangde (mackerels),Pomplet (pomfrets),Calamari (squids) and also vegetables like bhende(ladyfinger),eggplant slice etc and then shallow frying. Red Recheado masala is blend of Indian spices which gives Spicy flavour ,vinegar for savoury flavour and last sugar for the sweetness as most of the goan food is.

The preparation of Recheado paste may requires prior 30 min of soaking of the spices in Vinegar and then grinding to fine paste.The paste you can preserve for about six months because there is no water involved in grinding.As you read you might have noticed its ground only by using vinegar.Also because of sugar and fried onions the masala nice sweet taste.
