Pork bafat is the most loved dish among  mangalorean Catholics.

There are many varieties of dishes prepared with pork but pork bafat is the traditional delicacy & i feel,  it's the best among all pork dishes. 


This dish is enjoyed on all special occasions & is a most favourite weekend delicacy among mangalorean catholic families. 



This hot, spicy, tangy dish goes extremely well with sannas, panpole, apams , bread or simple boiled rice.  In my house this pork bafath is enjoyed the most with hot crispy bakri. 

This easy, simple recipe needs bafat powder as a main ingredient.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1kg washed & cleaned pork cubes
  • 4 large onions chopped into large cubes
  • 3 slit green chillies
  • 1 large pod  garlic peeled

In a cooking pan add pork cubes with chopped ginger, tamarind pulp, salt to taste, bafat powder, bay leaves and green chillies. Mix well & cook on a medium flame till half done. 

Add onion, garlic & garam masala & cook till done. Add little vinegar only if required.  You can also add elephant yam, raw bananas or potatoes too while boiling. 

( You can also add 1/2 tsp dried pork blood at the end & take one good boil.  This is used in traditional pork bafat recipes . Its purely optional)

Sanna and pork bafat is the best combo.

Mutton Green Masala This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of Mangalorean cuisine.  This quick & easy curry is a perfect blend of aromatic spices and has a freshness and flavours of herbs like coriander & mint leaves.  This flavourful green curry goes extremely well with sanna, neeru dosa/ panpole, appams and even with roti, chapathi or boiled rice. My family loves it with soft silky neeru dosas/panpole.  The soup of mutton makes this curry so glossy ,  flavourful and aromatic.  This same masala can be used for chicken too.  Please note: Use spices as per your preference.  Cooking time of mutton depends on the quality of meat. Tender meat cooks faster.  Recipe: For 1/2 kg Mutton 2 potatoes, 2 carrots ( optional) Ingredients for Masala: 5 green chillies 1" ginger 6-8 flakes of garlic 1 /2 tsp pepper 1/2 tsp jeera 1/4 tsp coriander seeds 5 cloves 1" cinnamon 1/4 tsp fennel seeds 1 star anise 1 cardamom 1/2 tsp poppy seeds 3 cashewnuts ( optional
