@@khursheedtuli5931 Hi Khursheed! Thanks for getting in touch. Do try out my version of balchao. Easy to make and very, very tasty. Interesting bit of information about your friend!
Hello Veena, I just loved your recipe for Prawn Balchow. May I suggest a small change in the steps for the masala. Dry grind to a fine powder, the pepper corns, cloves, cinnamon, cumin seeds and turmeric powder. After that add the wet ingredients eg: soaked chilled, garlic, ginger. I have found this works better for me. The recipe was delicious. Thanks so much for your clear step by step instructions. I have shared with friends.😊
@@mirapinto4035 Hi Mira! Thanks for the suggestion. I used to do the grinding of the dry ingredients separately before. But once I found out everything grinds perfectly well when ground together, this is the method I have stuck with. Try it out. You'll be able to confirm this. And thank you so much for your appreciation.
@@valeriesequeira405 If you add more oil, it should be enough to have a layer of it above the level of the balchao. Then if stored properly, ( no wet spoon, etc.) the balchao will stay good outside the fridge for at least a month.
New to goan cusine. From Sri Lanka. 1. So this masala is almost similar to vindaloo masala? Any differences? 2. Does the Valchao need to be kept in the fridge?.
@@TheMrgoodboy2 it's a different masala. It will stay good outside the fridge for two weeks or more. But since I've added less oil than in the traditional recipe, it would be best to store it in the fridge after 2 weeks.
@@eulaliagoveia7542 Eulalia, it can. But since I've not added too much oil, it would be better to transfer it to the fridge after it matures, that is, after 8 days.

My Dear Chef Veena, 'hola' from Barcelona. Autumn is now setting in with its beautiful sunset skies & colourful falling leaves. How are you there in Panaji? Hoooo, what a pearl of a dish you have so kindly rustled up for us !! Tell me, are the 'byedgi' medium or very hot? My tummy is now 68 and not as 'ovenproof' as it once was.. 😂 Anyhow, a warm thank you for this & I will definitely let you know. My mouth was watering just watching you prepare it ! 🌿🙏🧜♂️
@@kuma9069 Hi Marc! I simply love Barcelona and can imagine it all decked up in Fall colours. I live in Mumbai and it's pouring here, being the monsoon season. Thanks for your appreciation. And as for the byedgi chillies, they're medium spicy just like Kashmiri chillies. The difference is that the K chillies have a brighter red colour. Best wishes to you and your family.
@@PataCake I see you have moved north from your homeland, Veena-Shri.? It seems we are both travellers. Are you interested in French and/or Catalan & Spanish cuisine? Please let me know, Ma'am. As 'foodies', we have many suggestions at your disposal. It would be a nice & entertaining exchange, should you so wish. Nâmaste 🌿🙏🧜♂️
@@kuma9069 I haven't moved, Marc. I was born in Mumbai and have always lived here. But I do visit my ancestral house in Goa now and then where my cousins live.

@@PataCake ❤️
Thank you so much for this recipe. Does the balchao need to be kept in the fridge , or outside ? Pls let me know.
Valerie, since I've not added too much oil, it would be better to store the balchao in the fridge after it matures at room temperature for 8 days.
Ok. Thank you so much. Just another query, if you don't mind. If i cook it in more oil, then would I still have to refrigerate it ?
@@valeriesequeira405 If you add more oil, it should be enough to have a layer of it above the level of the balchao. Then if stored properly, ( no wet spoon, etc.) the balchao will stay good outside the fridge for at least a month.
Hi ma'am I have it a twist by adding squid as well.

Which part of Goa do you stay
@@agathalobo4583 Agatha, I live in Mumbai.
For how many days we can keep it in fridge
Rosy, the balchao will stay good at room temperature for at least 10 days, maybe more, and in the fridge for months.
