Actor Shahid Kapoor and Mira Kapoor rang in the New Year’s in Goa this time. With their two kids Misha and Zain, the couple set of for a mini vacation in the party capital of India, but decided to unwind by the pool, eat good food and soak in the natural beauty of the place instead.
Mira Kapoor recently took to Instagram to share a photo dump of her ‘Goan Escape’. If you follow her on Instagram, you are perhaps aware of how big a food buff this 28-year-old is. A Vegetarian just like her husband Shahid, Mira started her photo dump with an image of Konkan Thali, except this one did not feature the regular coastal delights, you often associate with typical Konkon fare. But that doesn’t mean her thali was not loaded. We spotted the Goan Patholi, which are your delish steamed rice rolls, stuffed with fresh/desiccated coconut and jaggery mixture. The rolls are steamed inside turmeric leaves, which help accentuate the flavour of the sweet dish. There was also a bowl of Dal, the Goan dal, which is not spicy and has a tinge of sweetness to it. There were two pungent chutneys, some vegetable fritters and Goan buns (that look a lot like Puris). Drooling much? That makes the two of us.
Earlier in the week, Shahid Kapoor also shared an image of a delish pancake breakfast he had in Goa. Looks like the duo didn’t leave any chance to indulge. Shahid Kapoor’s pancakes, made with whole wheat were slathered over with dark chocolate spread and freshly slices bananas. We wonder, how many local delicacies did he try? Given Goa is a haven for foodie after all.
Now for all those who are missing a bite of Goa, here is a delicious recipe of Patholi that you can try soon.
