My mother-in-law (Mamma) who is one of the very good cooks I am related to (besides my darling mom ofcourse) introduced me to some delicious Mangalorean fare during my several trips to Mangalore. One such dish which can be put together in a jiffy as a ‘sakne’ (accompaniment to alcoholic drinks) is the Pork Salad.
I have not tasted this dish anywhere else and I dont think I ever need to as I am sure that Mamma’s version is undoubtedly the best. This recipe is one of the few that I collected during my recent trip to Mangalore – most of which were prepared for the Christmas day feast at home. Pork being one of the most favourite delicacies that appeal to most Mangalorean palates, this crunchy-munchy-sour-spicy baby is quite tantalizing – Try this along with some hard liquor!

Finding the recipe for Mangalorean Pork Salad was like finding a 'long lost friend'! Thank you.
I am also looking for a prawn recipe that was called 'god-god a' This was just masala prawns with shell. I had them when I was 12 years old and now I am 70 and yearning for the recipe.
Vera.
@Vera: Thank you so much for that compliment 🙂 I have not heard of god-god a maybe because I don't eat prawns (allergic to them), but my hubby is a big fan and cooks them – i will ask him and maybe he can hunt that recipe for you 🙂
Hi Shireen,
I think Vera is referring to Prawn Gud-gud fry. You will find the recipe in J.B. Lobo's Sambardo (konkani version).
Hey Smitha, thanks a ton! I have only heard about gud-gud fry but don't remember how they look or taste like..and definitely not the prawn version, but will check it out now 🙂
Wow!…I just made it and it was delicious! Thanks very much. I remember eating it at my sister's coffee estate in Chickmagalur dustrict when I was a teenager and remember enjoying it then too. Here is a photo of the dish I made:
