Indian Table showcases the cuisine from the state of Goa on the southwestern coast of India. The city of Mumbai and Goa are on the same coastline.
Goa was a Portuguese colony until 1961 and historically a kingdom under Hindu, Muslim, and Maratha
rule, which have come to define the cuisine, culture, and language of modern Goa. Goa is the smallest state in the Union of India and is an amalgamation of Indian and Western cultures, religions, cuisine,
and lifestyle.
With the Portuguese came tomatoes, potatoes, the cashew nut, chili pepper (from the New World), the
use of wine-based vinegar, and European baking (bread, cakes, pastries) into the Indian sub-continent via Goa which has become an integral part of modern Indian cuisine.
At Indian Table, Chef Eric McCarthy presents traditional and Portuguese-Goan cuisine and also Northern Indian classic fare.
