Balchão Mama is a fiery red prawn and pickled curry sauce from India’s sunshine state, Goa.
The dish traditionally uses dried prawns. However, in this case the mother of Chef Pablo Miranda of Patrão’s Deli, pickles fresh juicy prawns in the sauce which makes it unique. Her well-guarded recipe has long been a favourite with the neighbouring community.
As a tribute to his mother, Chef Pablo wanted to crown the offering he was going to sell with a befitting title.
Thus was born Balchão Mama.
