Cooking with firewood, Goa



Cooking by using firewood was the norm in the old days. Firewood in the form of logs and dried branches from trees were used for preparing food. People made their own configurations of the common 3-stone arrangement. Wood was gathered from local forests or bought as cut pieces from suppliers and stored in huts for the monsoons. 

The idea that the distinct and unique taste of food cooked over fire, added with the element of porous clay pots in which the food has been cooked in, has been wafting in the air for centuries. Some folks erected special standard table height platforms while others had a similar arrangement on the floor.
