Answer:
people of Goa still make traditional sweets from recipes passed down from generation to generation. Here are some of the famous traditional sweets of Goa:
Explanation:
1. Bebinca
This is a type of layered pudding. The ingredients which usually go into it are all-purpose flour, eggs, sugar, coconut milk, nutmeg, and ghee. It takes time to prepare this lovely dessert as each layer has to be baked first before adding the next one. Bebinca usually has 7 to 16 layers. In many places, it is served with vanilla ice-cream. You can eat all the layers at once or peel one layer at a time and savour each one.
2. Dodol
Dodol is made using coarsely ground raw paddy rice flour, black jaggery, coconut milk, and cashew nuts. The coconut is ground and the juice/ milk is extracted. It is traditionally cooked on firewood. The end result is a pudding-like sweet which almost melts in your mouth. It is mostly made for Christmas. Sugar isn’t used and so dodol gets its taste from the delicious Goa jaggery. Its colour can be either light brown or dark brown.
3. Pinag
Pinag/ Pinaca is another favourite among the Goan folk. The Goan brown rice used to make this sweet has to be sprinkled with salted water to give it moisture and is then lightly roasted. Peppercorns, cloves, ginger juice, jaggery, and coconut give the popular pinag its unique flavour. It is usually moulded into the same shape as the Goa croquettes.
4. Kulkuls
Kulkuls are crispy delights which people tend to binge eat. Flour, semolina, milk/ coconut milk, sugar, eggs, and ghee are made into a hard dough which is then rolled on a fork and then deep fried. You’ll see a lot more kulkuls around during Christmas season.
5. Patoleo
Paloleo harnesses the flavour of turmeric leaves. Ground rice is spread on the leaves and filled with a coconut jaggery mix. It is then steamed which transfers the lovely haldi flavour onto the rice. They can also be filled with a gram dal and sugarcane jaggery mix
