Discovering the Best of Indian Cuisine in South Goa!

Travelling to Goa in India is a must! Mumbai and South Goa couldn't be more different. It's amazing how you can experience both of these places within India: the fast-paced city life in Mumbai, also known as "the City of Dreams", and then head to St Regis Resort for some luxurious relaxation. The resort is perfectly situated between a river and sea, plus its tranquil lagoon surrounded by lush gardens make it feel like an oasis - almost unreal that you're still in India! Definitely something special about this beautiful country with so much variety to explore!
I had a fabulous time at our Indian getaway! We feasted on lip-smackingly good charred chili prawns, spicy crab curry and berry cheesecake. To top it off we sabred champagne then enjoyed gazing at the night sky before enjoying dinner in an incredible bubble experience - definitely not traditional but so much fun!
We began the day with a captivating exploration at the beach, where river and sea met each other. Don’t forget to listen carefully for squeaky sand as you walk - how fun! Our tummies were satisfied by delicious Indian breakfast Mysore Masala Dosa in no time followed by an amazing lunch full of Palak Paneer, Fish Recheado and more flavors. The highlight was observing our Executive Sous Chef Gorav Verma who create Butter Chicken from scratch that left us speechless. We also learned about making naan or flatbread in a traditional wood fire tandoori oven.
Traveling to the resort was like entering an enchanted world, full of breathtaking scenery and mouthwatering cuisine! We immersed ourselves in utter tranquility after escaping Mumbai's hustle and bustle. The wonderful staff provided us with impeccable service while we indulged in signature dishes from all around the area - what a delightful experience that will remain etched into our memories forever! But hold onto your seatbelts for another exciting culinary journey on our next vlog adventure. #LiveExquisite @stregisgoaresort @stregishotels

Amazing travel video again Chef. Had a laugh when the chef was making your butter chicken and when he added the Kashmiri chili, said it was for color, what i have found in the states is extremely hot, and i like hot food. The food in Goa looks amazing. Thanks again

[@recipe30]

They did kindly adapt to our sensitive western palate, so although I do love spice, I can't say anything set me on fire!

[@komalpreetsingh9828]

@ Randy, Kashmiri Chilli is actually for the red colour as compared to the assumption of being extremely hot. Someone played a prank with you about Kashmiri chilli !

Tks for the 2nd video Joel. Just want to ask you something - I read a book today about someone's travels in Hong-Kong. The writer said that the most exquisite dish he had over there is a dish called Begger's Chicken. Its made by rubbing loads of spices into the chicken, wrap it in lotus leaves and then cover it with clay and bake in coal fire for hours. When they order it, its a huge ball of clay that came and the waiter put it on a special dish and broke it with a machete. The writer says its God's food cause it smells and taste like nothing on earth. Have you experienced this ???

[@recipe30]

Clay cooking has been around for a long time to help preserve the juices and intensify flavours, I have tried many chickens in clay cooking but not the Begger's chicken. Sounds awesome though, love that style of cooking!

Well my first question as I start to watch this video is - how much in USD is a hotel such as that in India per night? Is the food expensive or reasonable?

The 5 star hotels are about the same as anywhere, but you can find reasonable $20 a night places to stay. Food is very cheap on the street, not in 5 star hotels.
