About this dish

Portuguese sauce is a sauce in Macanese cuisine. The sauce is flavored with curry and thickened with coconut milk. It is an ingredient in Galinha à portuguesa, known as Portuguese Chicken in English-speaking societies. The Portuguese sauce from Macao is considered to be a legacy of Portugal's colonization of Daman and Diu in India, and is likened to a mild yellow curry. Despite its name, Portuguese sauce (along with Galinha à portuguesa) is a Macanese cuisine invention, and is not a sauce used in Portuguese cuisine.
