Shacks on Goa's beaches will now have to mandatorily serve "fish curry-rice", a staple of the coastal state, along with other Indian and international cuisines, said tourism minister Rohan Khaunte on Sunday.
The compulsory inclusion of the coconut-based preparation, savoured for its tangy and spicy taste, in the menu of the joints is part of the state's new Shack Policy that aims to promote the Goan cuisine, the minister said.
Up until now, shacks along the shoreline offered North Indian food but Goan dishes were not available at these places, he said.
