The Story behind Chicken Green Masala

This dish, Chicken Green Masala is a riff on the popular Goan dish, “Chicken Cafrèal” or “Galina Cafrèal”. Chicken Cafrèal was introduced to India by the Portugese, who occupied Western parts of India in the 16th Century and used it as a spice trading hub.

’Cafrèal’ is a Portugese word for ‘the african way’. The Portugese bought chili peppers which were native to South America, and combined them with African cooking methods.Centuries later, the dish is still quite popular today in the western Indian State of Goa.

From Goan cuisine, Chicken Cafreal was adopted by other Indian States, and customized based on spices/ingredients available locally, but they referred to the derivative dish as ‘Chicken Green Masala’.

The difference between Cafreal and the Green Masala (in this video) is that Cafreal has lime juice added to it and is eaten with wheat bread.In our version of Green Masala, we dont add lime juice and is best suited for rice and rotis. Some people also add cashew powder to the puree. These variations are left to the viewers discretion.
