Lovely writing, Ila! When I was in Goa, i used to buy from the poder who used to come by every morning. Super tasty, and now thanks to you, I know the history of these unique breads.
Hey, thank you so much for replying. I was curious about which part of goa you live, and how are you managing work. I am hoping to get an opportunity to move to goa. But now after reading you essay, the city bred in me is scared of all the animals you mentioned 😟.
'It was love at first bite.' 😂
Superb, Ila! This post had all the warmth of freshly-baked poi.
Hehe, thanks Rohan! 😆
What a lovely piece!
Also, well done on the title hahaha.
Haha, thanks Sarthak!
Lovely post Ila! I love Poi and seafood curries. Have to try this when I'm there next.
You must! Thanks Ayush :)

Thanks Pritam! Fresh pao and poi in the morning is just the best! ☺️
The more I read you, the more I relate how little I know of my own country. Loved the piece, Ila!
Thanks Prerna! I feel this every day — one of the many reasons why I love and am forever in awe of India 🙌🏾
Your essay on Goan Pao is such a joy to read! I’m curious, how did you move to Goa ?
Thank you! Not sure what you mean by ‘how’ but I have written a post about my move that might answer your question https://open.substack.com/pub/ilareddy/p/33-when-life-gives-you-lemons?r=4vyaz&utm_medium=ios

I’m in a remote part of the South. Other parts of Goa are more connected and less wild :) I work remotely so can be based anywhere with internet.
Came back here to say that I’ve signed up for many of soul Goa’s experiences having read this just when I landed in Goa. Thank you, Ila! ❤️
How wonderful! Hope you have an amazing time ♥️
Lovely post... Can't wait to go to Goa and eat some Poi
Thank you, Aditi! I can say it will be totally worth it! 😆
I LOVE bread and this was such a treat to read! (Now I really want to visit Goa :/)
Thank you Sanobar! Please do visit 💜
