Goan Beef Croquettes - Meat Cutlets - Kravings
My earliest memories of Croquettes were eating them at George's Restaurant Bar in Panjim, Goa. Now, I have not been to Goa in forever but I do know that this restaurant is located next to an iconic church. Panjim or Panaji is the capital city of Goa but you don't have to be there to eat this delicious meat cutlet. This delicious specialty is made with cooked meat, shaped, dipped in semolina and deep fried is pretty much available all over Goa.
