ABOUT Pork Bafat RECIPE

Pork Bafat commonly known as Dukra mass in konkani is prepared in every catholic household almost every weekend, mostly served with sannas ( soft steamed rice dumplings) or bread buns. The combination of spices in this preparation gives the pork a unique hot, spicy and tangy flavour. Ready made Bafat powder is available in Mangalorean food stores, however the freshly ground paste gives this dish a completely different dimension and flavour.
