'''Frango à Cafreal''' is a [[spice|spicy]] [[Chicken (food)|chicken]] preparation consumed widely in the [[India]]n state of [[Goa]]. The preparation originated from the [[Portugal|Portuguese]] colonies in the [[Africa]]n continent.<ref>http://cafreal.com/21/food-history-origin-of-cafreal/</ref> It was introduced into the Goan cuisine by the Portuguese and the African soldiers serving under the Portuguese.<br />
<br />
The generic preparation involves green chillies, [[Coriander|fresh coriander leaves]], [[onion]], [[garlic]], [[ginger]], [[cinnamon]], [[Black pepper|pepper]], [[Chili pepper|chilli]], [[Mace (spice)|mace]], [[Clove|clove powder]] and [[Lime (fruit)|lime juice]] or vinegar.

Maria Teresa Nenezes (2000) 385 pag ASIN : B06XYPHR9T</ref> Chicken Cafreal is usually accompanied by potato wedges and lime wedges. It is a popular dish in the bars and [[tavern]]s of the state.<br />
<br />
It is suspected that the dish originated in the Portuguese colonies in Africa, most likely in ʽMozambiqueʼ. "À Cafreal" means "in the way of the Cafres" and cafre was the designation of the inhabitants of Cafraria, the region of Southern Africa inhabited by non-Muslim peoples (compare English kafir). According to this hypothesis, the cafreal chicken derives from the piri-piri chicken typical of those places. In many contexts and locations in the world, chicken piri-piri and chicken cafreal designate the same dish, but in Goa they are two very different things, even in color, since the first is red.<ref name=ONE/><br />
