Recipe for Shortcut Goan Recheado Masala

The Goan Recheado Masala is a thick Masala paste made out of Dried Kashmiri Chillies and other spices.

Some call it 'Rechiar' I call it 'Reshiad' while my friend's Husband calls it 'Ray Charles' 😅

Recheado masala is mainly used for stuffing Fish, but can be used in many other dishes as well.
