Portuguese sauce


Portuguese sauce is a sauce in Macanese cuisine.
In Macao, Portuguese sauce refers to a sauce that 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 is a Macanese cuisine invention, and is not a sauce used in Portuguese cuisine.
