Chicken Cafreal Recipe - From the Heartland of Goa

Chicken Cafreal Recipe, Delicious Goan Chicken Cafreal Recipe


Chicken Cafreal recipe is a really classic Goan dish. It is one of the so few dishes made in India with a lovely green curry paste. The paste is a wonderful blend of aromatic spices that I am almost sure that your senses will jump with excitement.


My son, Sidhant had seen a food show on television where Chicken Vindaloo was being made and he requested me to make the same for him. Unfortunately, I was out of dry red chilies that give vindaloo that deep red colour but had some fresh green chilies. Hence, I decided to make Chicken Cafreal instead. I also took the classic routine that involved marinating the chicken overnight. If you don’t have much time, you can maybe marinate it for an hour. Sidhant was super happy with what turned out and I was too.


Check out the recipe below.

Process to make Chicken Cafreal Recipe


  1. First of all, marinate the cleaned and cubed chicken overnight with some salt and two tablespoons of cafreal paste.

  2. Heat a tablespoon of ghee in a thick bottomed pan and fry the sliced onions. When they are translucent remove from fire and cool (this is a tip I learnt from the food show).

  3. Once onions cool down put them on flame again and add the remaining cafreal paste. Saute for a minute.

  4. Now add the marinated chicken and sear on high to seal the juices. This takes about 5 minutes.

  5. Reduce flame to medium-low and cook covered till done. This takes about 20-25 minutes.

  6. Remove from flame and check the seasoning.

  7. Finally, serve it with pao bread, Goan bread called poee or plain rice.

The stage was about to be set for Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan’s ‘Vikram Vedha’ in Mumbai’s Film City. The material had reached. The artisans had been hired. But the lights have now been dimmed. Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi’s hit movie Vikram Vedha’s Hindi remake will not go on floors by mid-July as per the original plan. The new delta virus of COVID has sent shudders down many spines and many films which were being laid out on an expansive scale have been either held back or shifted their shoots abroad. The first schedule of this Hrithik-Saif movie will now be shot abroad. A source says, “The Mumbai schedule will be done but later.” Adds the source, “It’s a call that was taken yesterday. It wasn’t an easy call to take, no doubt, but the fact that it’s going to be a costly set made the makers take the safer route rather than be sorry later.” When contacted, General Secretary of FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees), Ashok Dubey, confirmed that the makers of ‘V
