Garnish and Serve
Incorporate diced bell peppers (capsicum) along with the onions for added sweetness and crunch.
Push the chilli fry to one side of the pan at the end, crack in an egg or two, scramble it, and then mix it into the dish for extra protein and texture.
For a quicker, classic bar-style snack, omit the potatoes entirely and simply cook the chorizo with sliced onions.
Stir in a tablespoon of coconut cream at the very end (with the heat off) for a richer, slightly less intense version.
The pork sausage provides a good amount of protein, which is essential for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.
Garlic is a key ingredient and a rich source of allicin, a compound known for its potential anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular benefits.
The capsaicin in green chillies can provide a temporary boost to your metabolism and may aid in fat oxidation.
Potatoes offer complex carbohydrates, providing a steady release of energy to keep you fueled.
Goan chorizo are unique, spicy pork sausages cured with salt, garlic, spices, and most importantly, toddy vinegar (palm vinegar), which gives them their distinct tangy and pungent flavor. They are very different from Spanish or Mexican chorizo.
While you can, the flavor profile will be completely different. The signature tanginess of Goan Sausage Chilli Fry comes from the vinegar used in curing the Goan chorizo. If using other types, you may need to add more vinegar to the dish.
This is an indulgent dish. Goan chorizo is high in fat and sodium. While it contains protein and spices with some benefits, it should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
A typical serving of Goan Sausage Chilli Fry (approximately 180g) contains around 350-450 calories, primarily from the fat in the sausage and carbohydrates from the potatoes.
Traditionally, it's served with Goan pao (local bread) to soak up the delicious, spicy oils. It also pairs well as a side dish with rice and dal, or can be used as a filling for sandwiches and wraps.
To reduce the heat, you can use fewer green chillies or deseed them before adding. Also, omit the optional Kashmiri red chilli powder, which adds mild heat along with color.
