Assad is a Traditional Goan Dish loved by most Goan’s. There are many famous Goan Dishes and Assad is one of them. Assad is a Konkani Word and it is known as Roast in English. There are basically two type of Roast that are prepared in Goa, one is the Beef Roast and the other one is the Pork Roast. I love to eat both of them, but My Family prefers the Beef Roast more over the Pork one.

Beef Roast

In Goa, Roast recipe is not the same everywhere. There are various methods that are used in different households to prepare that same Roast Meat. Even in My House the way of preparing the roast by My Mother differs from the way My Granny prepares it but I love to eat both of them. So also some people prefer it sweet, while some people prefer it spicy. But in Our house it is a balanced version which means. I love to eat the spicy version, but because of My Family tradition, I am not allow to eat so because the in My House My Family Members go by this Notion “ Not So Sweet, Not So Spicy The One Who Eats Neutral Is The One Who Remains Healthy.”

Pork Roast

Since I have never prepared Roast I don’t know exactly it is prepared, but I do know some of the ingredients that go into it, which also differ from household to household. The people who prefer it Sweet add a little Jaggery or Sugar to it, while the other who prefer it Spicy add fresh grounded Black Pepper, some Green Chilies and a lot of Garam Masala to it, but in My House none of these go into preparing the Roast. But in every household there is one thing that remains the same which is the Goan Toddy Vinegar that goes in the process of making it.


Pulav

There are various dishes Roast compliment with one of them is the Pulav. But Me being a weird person I love to have it with Bread with some Salad and Tomato Ketchup if it is Beef Roast, but if it is Pork Roast I will rather prefer it having with Polea, which is a Goan Style Pancake.

One of the fond memory that I will always remember as I grow old, is the biggest robbery that takes place in every summer. Every summer all the Family member get together and all the Famous Goan Dishes are prepared, since that’s the only time we all cousins meet up. So after lunch, during the Tea time as I used to make Roast bread for me, which is basically bread with roast, salad and ketchup in it, I used to hear a voice coming from the bedroom but when I used to go there used to be no one. By the time I would come back to Kitchen to take my Roast Bread I used to see nothing other an empty plate and all my cousin’s mouths filled with one-one bite of My Roast Bread. I used to fight with them asking who told you’ll to eat that, just to get in reply who told you loiter around and leave it lying there. I used to literally hate My Cousin’s for doing such an act
