- Add salt to taste & some stock or hot water, stirring well & bring the curry mix to a boil—
- Now add in the chopped Chorizo sausage & potato cubes & cover & cook on low heat for abt 15-20 mins—if you want it saucier, add extra stock or water
- Turn off the heat & serve to pipe hot with ‘ghee’ (clarified butter) rice, or Indian ’pau’’ which are best ‘fresh-from-the-baker’ bread rolls

- Goan Curry or even its similar yet chunkier variety Vindaloo is traditionally enjoyed by scooping it up with the local bread roll called ‘pau’ which is Portuguese for ‘bread’
