It's time to let your sweet tooth ache

The season of giving has already begun with Christmas knocking on the door! What better way to celebrate this festive season than with a delicious, sweet platter of Goan 'kuswar' also called consoada?

In this special episode of Goan Appetit, we dive into Goa's rich culinary heritage which occupies the centre stage on festive occasions like Christmas.

One of the most treasured traditions of Christmas in Goa is the preparation of indulgent traditional Goan sweets, a sweet ritual that begins well in advance and takes an enormous amount of hard labour.

Once ready, the scrumptious goodies keep everyone sweet and full until the end of the season.
