Ingredients
Quantities below are a guide for a typical household portion — scale them to the number of people you are cooking for and season to taste.
- 4 Goan choris (pork sausages)
- 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
- 1 green chili, slit (optional)
- 4 Goan pao (bread rolls)
- 1 tbsp vinegar (Goan coconut vinegar preferred)
- 1 tbsp oil (from choris or extra oil)
Method
- 1Prick the choris and place in a pan with a little water; cook until the water evaporates and fat renders out.

- 3In the same pan with rendered fat (add a little extra oil if needed), sauté sliced onions until soft and lightly browned.
- 4Add green chili (if using) and cook for another minute.
- 5Return the choris to the pan, add vinegar, and mix well; cook for 5 minutes until heated through.
- 6Slice Goan pao horizontally without cutting all the way through.
- 7Stuff the choris mixture generously into the pao.
- 8Serve immediately, optionally toasted.
