\nThere\u2019s a new Indian restaurant in Sunnyside, Queens at 43-45 43rd St with an emphasis on the cuisine of Goa. Located on India\u2019s west coast, Goa was formerly a province of Portugal, consequently the food is strongly influenced by their culture and imports; you\u2019ll see chouri\u00e7o keeping company with xacutti on a typical Goan menu. The food is not as spicy as that of other regions of India although it does have a kick.<\/p>\n

From Cardamom\u2019s Tandoor category, we ordered Lamb Chops in a tamarind, ginger and garlic marinade, all of which were in delicious, succulent evidence.<\/p>\n

Vindaloo is listed in the Indo Portuguese section of Cardamom\u2019s menu. It\u2019s often regarded as a pan-Indian dish unless you dig a little deeper: more specifically, it\u2019s a Goan recipe and the name, sometime spelled vindalho, stems from the Portuguese vinha d’alhos referring to wine and garlic. These days, vindaloo is more about vinegar along with the garlic, chili peppers and spices we\u2019ve come to expect. At a recent lunch, given a wide choice of proteins, we opted for goat. Tasty, but not nearly spicy enough although YMMV.<\/p>\n

More to come from Cardamom….
