Cecil, Daisy may give you the experts comments as per you query. Molho is a portuguese word. Molho, Balchao, Para are all pickles. But with these names they are more specified as per their preparations. Molho da Camarao - is - Prawns pickles Molho da pixe - is - fish pickle etc. Mouth watering .., Ha !! :-)

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear Daisy, You seem to be quite an expert on Goan cooking. I don't ever venture into the kitchen. A small query though. Recently my wife and her sisters got together and made some Mol (pickled Kingfish slices - I think. Pronounced 'moul'). It turned out incredibly good. But my mother, who also is an established cook, claims that the preparation cannot really be called Mol, and is Pickled Fish at most. She claims that Onions and Sugar have been added (which is true, I now learn!) and Mol cannot contain these. Also to make Mol the fish has to be sundried after light frying and before masala is added. Where as in this preparation there was no sundrying. It was hot and sour and sweet. So what did I eat? Pickled Fish or Mol? What is the vital difference? Please give a satisfactory reply before this erupts into a major family dispute.
