Balchão is a spicy seafood or meat dish in Goan cuisine. Balchão is a method of cooking, made with either fish (de peixe), prawns (de camarão), or pork (de porco), in a spicy and tangy tomato-chili sauce.[1] It resembles pickling and can be made days in advance without reheating. The traditional balchão uses a paste made from dried shrimp known as galmbo in Konkani.

History

Balchão was introduced to India by the Catholic Portuguese during colonization. Balchão originated in Macao (also once a Portuguese colony), where it is called balichão.

Preparation

Catholic homes may use coconut vinegar for its acidic sharpness, while Hindu families may use cane vinegar to make it milder.[why?] It is now common to use white vinegar or malt vinegar.
