STAPLE TREAT

Your buffet must include rice -- that's Goa's staple. What's even better is treating your guests to the reddish parboiled rice variety, locally known as ukde.

BEST COMBO

...and something you might want to pair with the ukde rice is the vibrant and flavourful Goan fish curry.

ALL FOR THE WIN

Nothing gets the guests talking more than the yummy food. A dish that almost always steals the show is the fiery Goan Pork Vindaloo.

CATCH OF THE DAY

Freshly caught kingfish off the Goan shores, then coated with recheado masala and fried to perfection. Mouth watering already? Ours, too!

VEGGIE POWER

Never underestimate the delicious flavours a humble combination of vegetables. If you do, bet you haven't tried Goa's veg Caldin.

Lastly, make sure you host the queen herself -- the heavenly layered dessert, Bebinca -- the perfect delight to conclude the party on a sweet note.
