Goan Sausage Masala (Paste)

Sausage Masala is a spice blend specifically designed to enhance the flavors of sausages in various culinary preparations. It typically includes a mix of spices and herbs that complement the flavors of the sausages and enhance the overall taste of the dish. 

The Goan Sausage Masala is a paste masala which is prepared starting with large chunks of boneless pork that are sliced or chopped and heavily salted. The chopped meat is allowed to dry in the sun for one to two days. The Goan sausage or chorise is a typical reflection of Indo-Portuguese cuisine from Goa, Daman and Diu, which once were part of the Portuguese State of India.

It is based on the chorizo sausage, introduced from Portugal. It is usually served in a curry, boiled or fried, accompanied by white rice or baked potatoes and sometimes also with a boiled egg. Slices may be simply boiled with onion and vinegar.
